I saw this at a liquor store on my trip and just had to try it...!
It was a little gassy and fruity at the beginning, but as the gas drained out, the sweetness became more robust, and I personally liked it better than right after opening the bottle 🥰.
We received a bottle of Kamo Nishiki's Kafuda-shu Yellow Narcissus.
I have not had Kamo Nishiki for about 18 months.
When I lived in Niigata 15 years ago, there was no kafuda-shu, and Kamo Nishiki was considered to be the evening drink of my father's generation.
Two years ago, when I first became interested in sake, I heard that the young toji of Kamo Nishiki was making a modern sake that was becoming popular, and the first sake I bought and drank was Kafuda-shu Short-stalked Watabune. I remember being shocked at the paradigm shift that had taken place over the past 15 years.
Now, for my first kafuda-shu in a long time, I chose Kwangsuisen because I wanted to taste its "character. Personally, I felt that Hwangsuisen was somehow the entry line of the packaged sake.
When I drank it, I felt the same sweet and juicy flavor that I also felt in the short stick ferry. Rather than a gentle and refined deliciousness, it gives the impression of being lively, vibrant and fresh. The rich sweetness like tropical fruits and the sharp acidity are right in the middle of the trend.
What makes Kafuda-shu different from others is that you can feel the alcohol taste through the nose, a slight spiciness, and a lingering bitterness that is typical of Niigata sake.
I wonder if I would have enjoyed it if I had had it back when I thought dry sake was supreme.
After the Motoharu Sano concert, I had a quick drink before returning to the hotel.
Jikin is 800 yen per sake? That's cheaper than Kafuda and Hiroki...
They were out of stock, but...
I hadn't had a bottle of Hifuroki for a while, so I chose this one.
It's kind of watery...
Isn't it filled with water?
It's easy to drink, but...
Was it like this?
Is it light because it's Koshi-tanrei?
It's been a while, so I don't know,
Kamo Nishiki Shagafuda Sake Short-stalked Watabune Junmai Daiginjo
Rating 4.4
Raw material rice: 80% Watafune-2 from Shiga Prefecture, Polishing ratio: 50%, Alcohol content: 13% (original sake)
It brings out in good balance the gorgeous, mellow aroma and dry, crisp taste that are said to be Watafune's unique characteristics. Freshly squeezed taste of fascinating wild taste.
Light, sweet and elegant. Slightly soda-like and dry.
I'll close today with 🏷️🍶✨
Really Koshitanrei🤤🤤.
Fresh gas feeling🫧🫧🫧🫧.
Refreshing drinking ❣️
It's also tasty and sharp 🥹✨.
You can't go wrong with any of our packaged sake🍶: ‼️
Good evening, Mr. Muro 😃.
Isn't it Koshitanrei from Kakifuda Sake ❗️ light and easy to drink 😁.
At first I read it as "Cho-tanrei" 🤣I have a bittersweet memory of realizing it was "Koshi-tanrei" after I learned it was the name of the sake rice 🤣.
Hello, Mr. Muro!
I was wondering if "super light" was too light and no longer like water, but then I saw Hiro's comment and learned the truth. Old eyes, huh 🙄.
I'm thankful for the sake that I can drink whatever I want to drink!
Hi Hiro, good evening.
Yes, it is 🥰It is very easy to drink and delicious ❣️
It is true that "Super Light" would be good too 😋.
I wish more breweries would brew with the best rice for sake brewing 🌾🌾Koshi-tanrei 💖.
Good evening, freelancer representative 🥹.
I like that 🥹👍
It is indeed "Super Light" and "Super Light" 🤤.
Packaged sake 🍶 is really delicious ❣️
I always have it waiting in the fridge 😁.
On this day, I also found a bottle of sake on the second floor 💡.
I went upstairs and poured it, thinking it was as good as the high-spec sake I had just found 💡.
It's still delicious 😋.
We had a lot of fun talking about the old days and our relationship with each other.
Everyone poured their favorite sake to each of us 😃.
