Kikuyu
Last year
On the way back from a trip to Hadano, I stopped by the brewery and bought it
In the refrigerator, waiting for spring
Heavy, firm flavor, a little peculiar
From sweetness to spiciness
I enjoyed it!
Original rice: Miyamanishiki (100% Nagano rice)
Alcohol level 16
Polishing ratio 65
Taste 3.7
Purchased in Daisen, Kanagawa. It is said to be brewed with local Daisen subsoil water. Slightly sweet, with a gorgeous aroma that wafts into the nose. Delicious.
Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.
The taste is very refreshing, with a banana-like aroma and a strong sourness. After the freshness subsides, the flavor of the rice also comes through and is delicious.
The entrée is mackerel simmered in miso.
The acidity is well pronounced. However, it is not piercing, and I liked it because it could be matched with food.
I was treated very well before deciding on this one.
The aroma is subdued. When you take a sip, it has a mild ginjo aroma, sweetness, and umami. There is a slight acidity. There is little bitterness, and the taste is clear, mellow, and umami. It is delicious.
This is the second bottle of ponshu from Yoshikawa in Isehara. I was curious about it because the brewery was promoting it on Instagram or something, so I found it at Mikawaya in Ebina and bought it. I was curious about this sake because I saw it on Instagram and was curious about it, so I bought it at Mikawaya in Ebina. The taste and aroma were both modern and full-bodied, with a glimpse of the acidity characteristic of a sake brewed with a traditional sake yeast yeast. The specs other than the label description are as follows
Sake degree = -22
Acidity = 3.6
Taste Type = Fresh and fluffy
(From the brewery's website)
It is served with bacon from Famima, but you can also enjoy it without bacon.
At first I drank it as is. Since it is a pure sake, it has a strong flavor.
The website says it can be drunk on the rocks or with soda, so I tried it with soda, which gave it a refreshing and gorgeous taste. It is delicious.
