Today, I got "Kawaguchi Natto" which I have been curious about for a while!
I got it on the way to eat Utsunomiya Gyoza on a day trip to Tochigi last month, so it's practically a Tochigi souvenir👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was of honey, apples, and grain.
The mouthfeel is clear and crisp with a citrusy acidity and astringency. It tastes like grapefruit with a hint of sweetness.
It has the richness and mellowness of Sasanishiki's umami, and the sharpness of the interweaving of the dry, acidic, and astringent tannins gives it an exquisitely balanced taste!
It has a hard-edged impression with a nuance close to that of an aged sake, but it is a presence that does not lose to the strong flavors of the teriyaki amberjack I happened to be eating, so it will be an excellent accompaniment during a meal!
Of course it doesn't taste like natto, but you will want to enjoy it as an accompaniment just like natto!
I hope to buy the red one next year 😌.

Last year it was red Miyamanishiki
This year, yellow Sasanishiki
Immediately after opening the bottle
Alcoholic feeling
On the second day, it becomes
Slight sweetness and then umami
I always love the balance of dryness.
Wataya is great!
Wataya Junmai Genmai Kame-no-o Sake
Precious junmai sake brewed with Kame-no-o produced by contract farmer Mr. Kurosawa in Wakuya-cho, Miyagi Prefecture
Kame-no-o is a variety of rice that was popular as rice, but it once ceased to exist due to the development of various new rice varieties and the difficulty of cultivation. However, it is a very valuable variety that has been revived after overcoming many challenges.
I've been meaning to buy it when I came across it and finally found it.
It has a classic taste. The balance between acidity and rice flavor is good. The aftertaste is sharp and also good. I think it is suitable as a food sake.
Hi Gula, Good evening 🌛I've been meaning to buy it for a long time as well, but I just bought it the other day 😁It's a complete jackpot, so I'll enjoy it as a food wine based on your review 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Gura!
When I saw the label here
I was so surprised.

It's a classic.
I want to drink it when I see it!

Hi Gura 😊
Kawaguchi Natto hiyaoroshi, I had the same one last year.
It's definitely suited for food sake, isn't it? I remember it was very refreshing and delicious 😋.
Hi Nemuchi! I also learned about this sake from other people's reviews, and I was hoping to have it someday! I've been thinking about it for a long time. I think it might also be good warmed up.
