The boss of Kinsho-kai used to talk about the smell of Kichiju Hi-ire. It is true that it has a harsh, twitchy flavor, and all the members were astonished.
The boss said, "If I could talk to the brewer, I would like to ask him if this flavor is what he is aiming for or if he makes it because he thinks it is good.
He said something like that. This time, I dared to buy that stinky Kichiju and let the boss drink it blind. A few years ago, he was ragging on me, but maybe he doesn't notice it's blind, right?
Then I poured it into the boss's glass.
I said, "Please enjoy."
Boss: "Thank you very much. Kun Kun Kun... Oh, this is Yoshitoshi."
I "Eeeee! I haven't drunk it yet!
I can't believe I got it right without even tasting it. I didn't ask you to guess which one is Yoshitoshi, but to guess from thousands, or even tens of thousands of sake brands with no hints.
My analysis suggests that the distinctive smell may be a combination of thyme herb, mint, seirogan, and cemedine.
By the way, "Yume Kaeru" is a delicious new sake from Yoshiju.
