I ordered the recommended heated sake, and this is what came out. This was an excellent choice. It warmed my body, which had been chilled by the snow that had begun to fall.
It was served warm.
It seems that the extra portion was made using rice that was smaller than usual due to the extreme heat.
The aroma of the rice is soft and fluffy, and the aftertaste is quite spicy.
Paired with yuba sashimi and spicy konnyaku by the owner. Good.
★★★★(if heated)
It's like the sake used in tokoso...it looks better warmed up. It is sharp, sharp and spicy sake, which is not my taste 🙏.
From the website
This junmai ginjo is brewed with 55% Kame-no-o from Shonai-machi, Yamagata Prefecture, the hometown of Koikawa Shuzo, and all the ingredients are carefully selected for local production for local consumption.
Kame-no-o" originated in the Shonai region of Yamagata Prefecture (now Shonai-machi), and was cultivated more than 120 years ago in 1893 (Meiji 26) from three ears of rice by the benevolent farmer Abe Kameharu.
The product name, "Kameji Koujitsu," was inspired by the image of the founder, Kameji Abe, resting in the sun.
It has a mild aroma, a smooth and light mouthfeel, a sharply integrated core of robust flavor, and a pleasantly clean and crisp finish.
Enjoy the unique characteristics of the Koikawa Shuzo brewery, which is located in the birthplace of "Kame-no-o.

The first time I drank Kameji Koujitsu.
I wonder if it's "Kameji Koujitsu" or "Kameji Koujitsu.
There was a description of the birthplace of Kame-no-o.
It is said that this brewery worked hard to revive Kame-no-o.
It has an austere taste with a slight sourness in the dry sake.
Would you like to drink it slowly?
Rice sweetness.
Strong acidity. Bitter taste of alcohol remains at the end. The lack of ginjo aroma is good.
Not my favorite though.
It can be served with meals, but I don't think I will repeat it.
Tourist information center in front of Tsuruoka Station with a super concierge, who told us that the supermarket has an unbelievable selection of goods. The supermarket "Shufu no Ten" Ene Ekimae Store. As a sake brewer, I thought it would be important to post this article because I think it is also important to have a distributor who connects the brewer and the drinker as the bearer of saké.
I bought three bottles and will review them after I return home.
