The origin of "Kamitaka" is said to be named after an anecdote that a hawk landed on the mast of the flagship Takachiho during the Sino-Japanese War.
I had no idea that the Kamitaka was serving mizu-hashiroshi! I was expecting a perverted sake, but it was not.
There is almost no scent on the top, and the attack is spicy, acidic, and delicious. It is a rather spicy sake with a full-bodied, umami, slightly sour taste and little sweetness. I can drink it forever (Note: I am not very fond of alcohol).
Pale honey color, weak legs, but long.
First Kamitaka. It is labeled as a deep golden yellow, but the color seems to be lightly tinted.
It has a lactic acid aroma. It has a firm flavor, with a strong acidity from mizu-hashiroshi. It is easier to drink at room temperature than cold sake.
Octopus label. Cute.
The acidity is sharp and the umami flavor is very smooth. Long lingering aftertaste.
A robust sake.
As the day goes by, it sublimates into sweetness, and can be enjoyed both cold and warmed.
Slightly bodied mouthfeel, but smooth, light and clean.
The alcohol is tangy and spicy.
Sharp acidity is effective.
The sweetness is moderate, and the rice is well pronounced.
Somewhat Hyogo-like.
Not bad.
Goes well with hot tofu with chicken and mushrooms, and nukazuke pickles.
Not too much
