At Matsuo Taisha, a shrine dedicated to the god of sake, there is an event where more than 1,000 people vote to select the best tasting sake. This is the first champion of that Sake-1 Grand Prix.
The rice is from the Kame-no-o lineage, and is made with a luxurious 30% of it. It is truly super. Just hearing about it makes it delicious.
The aroma is fruity, probably because it is a fresh sake. Kudokigake is characterized by its low acidity, but this one has a balance of acidity and sweetness like passion fruit. It also has a slight peachiness.
It is similar to other modern sake with acidity and sweetness, but in a different genre. I think it tastes best when drunk chilled.

After drinking a certain sake in April, I began to think "Isn't Kougen-Shinko delicious? Then, I saw a sake called "Koudokibe" and I thought, "Koudokibe is good. Then, I saw a bottle of Koudou-Shinko & Kudokitoe, the best of the best. I bought it because I thought it was inexpensive, and went to buy it right away!
From the gorgeous aroma of peaches and roses, the slightly viscous soft water sloshed in. The juiciness and sweetness of the white peaches hit me with a thump, and I was in a great mood. But it is not only sweet, it also has a lingering bitterness that keeps you from getting tired of drinking it. Hurray for cheap sake with excellent structure.
Is the improved Nobukou the best, or is the brewery that uses it the best, or is it both? Both are different in taste, but both are certainly first-rate.
Today happens to be Shinsei day. Tonight I will end the day with a reminder of the goodness of the improved Shinko and an empty bottle of the only Shinsei I could get my hands on.
... I wish I could have had some Niimasa. Thanks for the food!
I opened a new bottle today based on the previous day's trend and wanted to enjoy it carefully😊I nominated "Super Kudokibe" 🍶 as my companion to enjoy it carefully.
This is my first time to drink Super Kudokibe...
I enjoyed the aroma and took a sip, and wow, it had a clear flavor with no cloying taste.
I was asked to taste it after checking my drinking expression 😱... 😱...
I was like, "This is delicious!
It was a weekend of sake drinking 🚄.
Mr. Baum, thank you very much 😃.
