Kyoto Sake Drop Kick ❻
There were two types available 😬.
The one with 81% polished rice was surprisingly robust, dark, rich and slightly peculiar with a unique taste 😊.
Slightly good aroma. The color is dark and the taste is a little strong. There is a sweetness, but the umami is also quite strong. A little astringency remains. The brewer uses its own dry sake at the end of the brewing process. Even if alcohol is added, it is a better idea to use the company's own sake than to use sugar cane or other alcohol of unknown origin. Is it a bit like kijoshu in that they use sake in the brewing process?
At a company tasting.
KURAMOTO R1 Easy to drink! Fruity but with a clean aftertaste!
KURAMOTO SE It is distinctly different from sake. Muscat aroma. Fruity and refreshing. It has a peculiar taste, so you can't drink a lot of it.
TSUGE NO HIMURO Bodhi Hashiwado Unique richness.
Rich and complex, yet elegant. Taste of cooked rice with a clear caramel which let you know it has mixed some koshu in it. The mushroom taste or umami is not too strong that has override the sweetness. Nicely done and balanced.
