Today....my daughters' gymnastic festival 🎖️ was held, so I opened the bottle to say goodnight ❗️🤣 lol (as usual, I'm the only one drinking 😭)
Well, this is Kamo Kanehide's limited edition sake from the brewery I adore ❓😁.
I drank it at that time too... but I'll drink it again at home 😏.
But first, I checked the label on the back... it says it's the annual seasonal SUITOH Omachi 🌾 raw sake ✨.
I've never had the original SUITOH Hi-iri, so I can't compare, but I'll comment on the taste as usual 😅
Long preamble but... here it comes 🍶!
The aroma is of apple juice 🍎 even from the bottle 🥰.
The taste of the sake is very crisp and dry from the first sip, but the umami and slight dryness make it the perfect match for sashimi and sushi.
It enhances the taste of the ingredients. 🙂↕️
The sharpness of the aftertaste is also excellent👍
I have had many Kamo Kanehide's, and even if it is hi-ire (hi-iru), it is sold with freshness like nama-zake (nama-zake). Therefore, it may be hard to feel the difference between it and nama-shu 🤔.
Well, we'll see what happens tomorrow 😎.
Day 2: 🗒️
I think it has more flavor... but the spiciness has increased at the same time ⤴️ and the piquancy 🫧 is still there, but in general I like the first day better 😊.

The name was taken from the "Kamo" area where the brewery is located and the two characters "Kin" and "Shu" from the name of the president and toji (master brewer), Hideki Kanemitsu.
This sake was recommended on YouTube, which I often watch. It is fire-brewed, but it also had a sense of a shuwashi (a kind of "wow" sensation). It is not fruity, but you can taste the umami and sweetness. It is low in alcohol and very easy to drink.
