Kotobukinmoku Kimoto Junmai Sake
It was a wonderful sake.
I wonder if this social networking site is ego-surfing for sake brewers? I hope that sake brewers all over Japan will continue to make great sake for a long time to come.
Your first time at the Bamboo Garden.
Very clear, with an impressive pear-like fresh acidity.
Both the aroma and taste are mild, so if you are not used to sake, I recommend it and think it is quite easy to drink.
Purchased at a liquor store in Moji-ku
About half a year had passed from the time of purchase to the time of opening the bottle.
(Immediately after opening the bottle)
Drink it cold.
Almost colorless and transparent, though it seems to be slightly tinted.
Mellow aroma
The palate is robust and full with acidity.
A tingling dryness appears after a short time, which gradually intensifies and becomes more pronounced.
A slight dryness lingers in the mouth in the aftertaste.
Warmed to lukewarm
Tangy smell of alcohol
The taste becomes lighter and drier.
Heat sake to hot
The dryness weakens and the taste becomes lighter, but there is a slight sweetness.
When cooled, it returns to a flavor similar to that of chilled sake.
Goes well with cheese when heated.
★★★★
It was quite dry and easy to drink. The smell is fruity. But a little astringent, or maybe the fruit is a little green?
It has a clean aftertaste, so I drink too much.

Slightly amber in color, with the umami and astringency of rice🌾.
Even though it is a dry strain, the umami flavor spreads well 👄 in the taste.
Seems to go well with food 🤗.

I remember that I bought this at a small liquor store in Shinagawa Togoshiginza.
It is a draft sake, but it is juicy with little gas and acidity. Lactic acidity can also be felt. The website describes it as melon-like, and it is. The astringency is a bit strong. It is very drinkable.
It used to be made with wine yeast, but the latest one is probably different.
