Junmai Ginjo🍶 Ikusei ✨Cluster Amaryllis Higanbana 🌺Yasato, Tottori Prefecture Strong🌾.
Kumezakura had a stall at the Keyaki-hiroba Beer Festival held at the Saitama Super Arena. We compared 5 kinds of Sake with Oyama G Beer 😆.
Slightly aged for 2 years, it has a matured feel, but light in the mouth ✨. Light yellow color, gentle taste 🤔I think it tastes even better when heated up 🤔The label with a mean looking flamingo 🦩 holding a higanbana is hilarious 😂.
Keyaki-hiroba Beer Festival @ Saitama Super Arena 20230915
The aroma is sour, but the taste is still sour. It is full of delicious sourness. Ripe pineapple.
This is the first bottle of the One Cup One Pack Festival 500,000,000.
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Yatsugo
It is a rather dry sake with a rich flavor that fills the mouth, but it is also very drinkable because it is not all about dryness. The acidity of Kume-Zakura is also delicious!
This is the five hundred and twenty-ninth bottle of the One Cup One Pack Festival.
I'll be drinking a lot of different sake from now on!
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Yatsugo
Full dried fruitiness that sinks in. Moderate acidity and full-bodied sweetness.
The area around Maruyama, where the brewery is located, has long been known as "Hachigo," a rice-producing area, and this "Hachigo" sake is made with Yamadanishiki, which is specially grown by local farmers.
This is the five hundred and twenty-eighth bottle of the one-cup, one-pack festival.
Eagle label, also handmade, too awesome.
It's a daiginjo, but still Kumezakura.
Lightly colored sake.
Mild but gorgeous aroma. It contains white flowers, banana, quince, black tea, and mushroom-like nuances.
It tastes great at room temperature. It has a good balance of umami and sweetness, and the subtle acidity is pleasant. The wine goes into the body smoothly, and the aftertaste is quiet and beautifully clean.
It has a sense of transparency but also presence, and is quiet but voluminous. It is a wonderful expression of a raw yeast daiginjo.
To be honest, I think it tastes better at room temperature, but I heated it up.
It tastes great this way too. It's amazing.
The depth of flavor comes out and the sake, which is already familiar, becomes even more familiar. It's like a bodily fluid? If you want to pair it with a meal, this one might be better.
It's delicious. A bottle of this is less than 4,000 yen, so I have no choice but to buy it. I want more.
It's a sake that doesn't give you a bad taste, but it has a special taste.
100% strong used
It has a ripe fruit aroma, and although it seems to be highly acidic, it is not that acidic, but it is gushing with delicious acidity. It is a very "flavorful" sake.
This is the 520th bottle of the one-cup, one-pack festival.

Today is Sake Day.
This is the fourth Osaka go-around.
Hanarenomi Casinova & Kumezakura
We went to Casinova at the closing time, thinking it was close by and we could go there.
The gratins we had originally planned to have were sold out, so we had to settle for raisin butter with sakekasu.
Kume-Zakura Lei Line.
The taste is refreshing.
Light and crisp acidity.
It tastes like chewing rice.
It still tastes young and will be delicious when it is laid down!
And I've been curious about Taremon D'oo for a while.
It has a lemon-like acidity and a slightly peculiar sweet and astringent taste. This is interesting!
This sake was created by chance and sold in the summer with the idea that it would be delicious if drunk like a lemon sour. It would certainly be delicious with ice.
And when I mistakenly called for a woman in a happi coat, thinking she was the brewer, the whole restaurant burst into laughter.
And the toji, who appeared slowly from the back, was funky and funny too ^ ^.
He told us about the unique and stylish label.
I would like to drink Kume-Zakura with warmed sake!
I thought, "I'd like to drink Kume-Zakura with warmed sake!
The labels are all different because each one is dyed by Aizome. In addition, it takes time to make the labels, which is why the delivery of sake is delayed. Kume-Zakura labels are cool.
It seems to be a blend. The color is topaz.
The aroma is of flowers and fruits with a sense of maturity. Tobacco, mushrooms, and black tea on a white flower and papaya-like base.
It can be drunk smoothly at room temperature. The astringency and acidity appear on the surface, but sweetness and nourishment surround the whole. It is delicious enough as it is. It is also good to drink at room temperature.
Warm it up.
Warming will greatly increase the depth of flavor. It has a deep bosom and can be paired with any dish.
The best temperature range is from room temperature to a little above lukewarm, but it's also delicious hot. But it tastes great even when heated.
It is a relaxed and easygoing sake. It would be great in a restaurant in an old private house, including the label, for its taste and atmosphere.
Self-aging was also recommended by the liquor store, but Kumezakura has been on my mind since before the opening ❣️. And it's Yago, which I've been seeing a lot lately.
Gentle and sweet aroma. It is the aroma of rice. You can feel the rich flavor of that rice and at the same time the acidity spreads. The alcohol content is high at 19 degrees, but it's a good sake 😅.
This was my first Kumezakura. It's still a bit hard, so I'll give it a few days to see how it goes. I'm looking forward to seeing how the flavor will develop when it's heated up 😋.
Last winter I went for Tenju, but this year I think it will be Kumezakura 😄.
Good morning, Tsukemogami-san. I also received this sake😊Kumezakura's raw sake is very rare, isn't it? Please spend some time with Kumezakura this year 😆♨️🍶
Good morning, Hirupeco🍶.
Yes, that's right. I got my fingers crossed when I read your review 😄 I'd like to be surrounded by a bottle of Kume-Zakura when the weather cools down and I can leave it at room temperature 😅.
Day 3
The gas is still going strong. Sourness has become stronger. Bitterness follows.
5th day
Gas is still present. It has become round. The acidity is gentle and the bitterness is a good accent.
Day 6.
The gas will probably be gone in a week. It has a good balance of sourness and bitterness.
I heated it up. It's a lentil 😅.
The sourness spreads from the bitterness. The sweetness doesn't open up much.
Good evening, Mr. Tsukemogami. It is true that it is a sake with little sweetness, isn't it? I had an image of summer tangerine liquor which is less sweet than Hassaku when compared to tangerine.
Hi Hirupeco, good evening 🍶.
I thought the sweetness would come out when I warmed it up. The sweetness was only faintly felt in the back.
As time goes by, the sourness becomes gentler and the bitterness becomes more self-liquorizing 😄 Is it ready to drink by the 5th day?
Welcome back Tora-san, good morning! (≧▽≦)
Another brand with a unique label.
Is it a Junmai, Nama-shu (Junmai, Nama-hashimoto, unfiltered, raw sake), or is it a very strong one? (Laughs)
Dear Mr. Kumagai. Thank you for your comment!
YAGOOO has an interesting lapel every year. Every year it tastes great warmed up, but this time it was also good cold or chilled. Of course, it has a lot of flavor and a lot of guts! but with a refreshing aftertaste!
