The second in a series of crosses made with people connected to the Iwaki Kotobuki brewery: ‼️
It has a citrusy freshness and bitterness like apples. The acidity is moderate and the taste is light and sweet.
It has a dry and refreshing taste.
Next is Iwaki Kotobuki
This bottle is made with yeast from cosmos, the town flower of Namie.
Speaking of Banjo Kotobuki, the image of this sake was one of firm sweetness and deliciousness, but this is different. It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity, a soft and rounded aftertaste, and a refreshing acidity and bitterness at the finish, making it quite easy to drink.
This is good!
Thank you very much for the sake!
The first drink when I came to a yakitori restaurant for a drink with my junior colleagues at work.
It's tender and tangy.
It's spicy and refreshing, but I don't think it goes well with yakitori.
I recommend drinking it by itself.
It is interesting that the number of alcohol is handwritten on the bottle.
Drinking R3BY at home. The color is pale yellow.
At room temperature, it has a mildly matured taste and a clear yet full-bodied deep sweet umami flavor, but it also has a sharpness with the acidity of the sake. It has an excellent balance that makes you want to match it with boiled fish.
When heated to 50°C (50°F), the sweetness and sharpness increase and become more balanced. If you want a gentler sake, go for room temperature, but if you want a punchier sake, go for warmed. Safe bet would be room temperature.
I found it in the extremely cold refrigerated room of Yamanaka Sake Shop.
I was curious about the Banjo Kotobuki that Wakata-san was drinking, so I bought it without a second thought.
It was a sake brewery in Namie Town.
I was so grateful to be able to drink sake, and I was so happy to have it.
The sweetness was so refreshing that even I, who am not fond of kijoshu, could drink it in large gulps.
The alcohol content of 7 degrees Celsius is the same as not having it at all 🤣.
It was an instant kill 😊.
Southern Tohoku, I'll definitely be going back ‼️
Maru-san, good morning 😃I also bought this kijoshu from Yamanaka before. It's very tasty 👍250ml is instantaneous, I know 😆Tohoku, don't say south, please go to Miyagi-Iwate 😊.
Good morning, Wakata-san 🌅.
I haven't seen Banjo Kotobuki at my local liquor store, but I would like to try the regular one 😊.
Sorry 😅I'm planning to take my time to visit the Tohoku region someday. It's the heartland of Japan😄.
