I found myself at the Kamo Kinshu Weekend ❗️🤭.
I also opened the Aizan ❤️.
This is Aizan, a limited edition sake brewed in early spring, stored and released from the brewery.
It is brewed with Aizan, the diamond of sake rice🌾💎🤤.
Compared to the direct-sale-only draft sake mentioned earlier, it has less pizzazz, but that's Kamo Kanehide for you! Even though it's fire-aged...it's still there! For some reason, it has a piquancy ✨.
The aroma is more subdued here, but the sweetness and umami in the first sip is stronger 😌.
I'm sorry I can't convey it in words alone 😭
but! ...it's delicious 😋 because by the time you realize it, the rest of the sake is gone... lol
ps. I'll report on the hot sake soon as the weather is turning chilly 😆.
Day 2 report: 🗒️
Oh, no!
Is it because it's fire-roasted? I wonder if it's because it's hi-iri...the raw one from the direct sale shop lost its piquancy, but this one still has a little piquancy even though it's the second day 😍.
Of course, the sweetness and umami has increased, which is good 😌.
I knew it was the weekend...sake 🍶😍!
Well! Today is my favorite sake brewery 🤩!
Kamo Kanehide is by far my favorite direct-sale-only sake 🍶...!
What a surprise! I went to buy it as soon as I heard on ℹ️ that for the first time this year, they are releasing 120 limited bottles of Nama Sake 🤭 lol!
Unlike the hi-iru sake that I always buy on repeat, it has a stronger fruity aroma when you open the bottle ✨.
I thought the sweetness was not as strong as the aroma and the piquancy was stronger than the hi-iri 😁...but...I got the impression that it was slightly more ⁉️ But...it tastes like...when should I stop drinking it 😅.
It's going to be empty before you know it, so cork it and go to the fridge before you get drunk‼︎
No doubt it will taste even better tomorrow, this pattern: ☺️
I wish it was more well-known, but I also wish I couldn't buy it anymore... I'm conflicted about that too... 💦 lol
I highly recommend this brand as a Hiroshima sake to all "Sake-no-wa" users 👌.
ps, just my personal opinion, but I like it better than Niimasa 🥰.
2nd day! The pithy feeling has gone...but the sweetness and umami is up⤴️ like 100% apple juice 🍹 with a refreshing taste and a sense of sake 🍶.
Soothing and delicious 😋.
Hello, koiing gulls 😃.
Your review conveys a lot of Kamogane love🥰🥹I don't think you can get the direct sale store only product, but 🥲Kamogane made me want to drink it 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆
If you like your sake with a bit of pizzazz, you'll love this one: ❗️
Although we are in the same city of Higashi-Hiroshima, our sake is brewed with "medium-hard" water, not the soft water used by the breweries around Saijo, one of the three most famous brewing areas in Japan😍.
The aroma is faint and refreshing.
Texture is clean and refreshing on the palate.
Mineral and sharp on the palate.
Fresh.
Clear sweetness such as pear.
Aizan, but gently, with a slight depth of rice flavor.
As the temperature increases, the flavor increases a little.
Elegant.
Suddenly crisp.
Light
Nice match with fish boiled in salted water.
Taste level ☆3.5/5
Gentle on the palate, with a rounded taste and slight acidity, this sake is well-balanced throughout.
Accompanied by grilled Spanish mackerel with salt
I wanted to drink a 13% Kamo Kanehide, so I went to a store that carried it, which I hadn't been to recently. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I felt bad about leaving without buying anything, so I bought this one.
The aroma was not so good when drunk cold, but it became very tasty when it was warmed up.
It is a pure sake with an alcohol content of 13%. It has a pleasant gaseous sensation that is pleasantly tingling in the mouth, and can be enjoyed lightly as if it were wine. In addition to the rich sweetness and umami, it is accented by a crisp acidity.
Kamo Kanehide Junmai-shu, warmed sake.
Pleasant mellow aroma of grain.
Gentle umami, restrained acidity and sweetness when chilled.
In the sun or on human skin, it starts to show a little acidity.
When lukewarm, the aroma is pleasant.
When hot, the aroma is subdued, but the acidity starts to come out smoothly.
When it is not hot, the aroma is also restrained by alcohol, but it is smooth and the acidity and bitterness are consistent, and the sweetness is delicious.
When warmed up to 40 degrees, it has a strong sulu (smooth) flavor, and when warmed down to 40 degrees, it has a stronger umami flavor, which is also delicious.
Personally, I liked it lukewarm to hot, and a little more lukewarm.
The aroma is mild.
When you taste it, it is soft and sweet.
The flavor of rice is light,
The flavor of rice is light and coherent with a gentle taste.
A sake that can be drunk in a relaxed manner.
4/5 for my favorite.
The aroma is not very strong, maybe a hint of rum? A little milky too. Which way will it go? I take it at room temperature, wondering which way it will turn out.
When I take a sip, I think, "Oh, this is the one I like! It's an autumn sake, but it still has a freshness to it, and you can feel the schwash. But it is gentle, calm, and refreshing. Maybe a hint of pear or rum.
When chilled, it has a great clarity through the throat. Mild rice sweetness and soft acidity with a freshness.
It has an autumnal richness, but it is not at all cloying, a good balance.
It is delicious even when heated. It is warm and mild, with a slight sourness and a soft sweetness of the rice.
The expression changes depending on the temperature range, but it is consistently a delicious sake with a gentle taste.
I have not been able to drink much of this sake due to various reasons, and new sake has started to be released, so I feel like I have been left behind by the season.
A clean and delicious taste. It's a deep drink with a smooth initial mouthfeel but soon comes a bit of astringency and bitterness as well. However, it is difficult to review because there is nothing too 𓏸𓏸 lol.
It goes well with meatballs and satsuma-age (fried fish cake), but it wins over sashimi. It also goes well with meatballs (which I wanted to make into meatballs but over-pressurized and the potatoes disappeared), so I wonder if it goes well with the fat of the meat?
