4.4/5.0
It's been a long time since I've seen it, and it's still as rich in flavor and sweetness as ever 😋.
In my sense, the richness level is too high and points down, but the overall flavor balance is still good.
I think it is the most star 🌟 of Tochigi.
I had it in a hot pot today.
Aikoku No. 3 is an ancient variety grown in Tochigi Prefecture during the Taisho era (1912-1926) and is the ancestor of Koshihikari, Sasanishiki, Hitomebore, and others. It is from the wiki introduction that it was disease resistant but tasted bad. Are the ingredients required for food rice and sake rice different?
The taste is firm and rich, as is typical of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake of the figure. It is fruity and has a bitter grape-like taste. It also has a slightly graininess that is typical of sake.
It is delicious chilled, but at room temperature, I felt it had a good balance of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness. It may also be delicious warmed. It has a delicious flavor that does not lose to strong flavors such as yakiniku.

We had a junmai ginjo unfiltered raw sake made from Aikoku No. 3 in figure.
The deep flavor of the rice soaked through.
It was a cup with a strong body and a great drinking experience.

A very sweet sake with a mild taste.
I was a little surprised at first.
But it goes on and on when you drink it with a salty snack. You forget the strength of 17.5 degrees Celsius of the original sake.
It has the strength of an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
The mouthfeel is smooth and reminiscent of Omachi.
It has a richness reminiscent of classic sake, but it also has a nice accent.
The appearance was rather modern, but this is a very drinkable bottle.
Refreshing, refreshing, fruity🌸🍶✨
Spicy, bitter, delicious 🐴🐴🐴🐴⤴️😆
Oishy ❕ with a glossy taste.
Always tochigi ai🥰 in my heart.
I enjoy it very much(^-^)/
It is an autumn sake with a figure, and its name is also "glossy figure". It is a bottle of sake that has been hi-seasoned and laid down until the flavor takes over. Usually, it is a juicy fresh figure fall sake in its raw form, how does it taste?
The aroma is restrained. It does not have a fruity flavor, but rather a calm umami taste. Like hiyaoroshi, it has a calm rice flavor and melon-like sweetness. When the temperature was raised a little, a slightly citrus-like acidity was felt.
This is a bottle that can be enjoyed at different temperatures. I think it would go well with rice with chestnuts or grilled fish at a slightly higher temperature.
