It is said to be a limited edition sake of the Japan Famous Sake Association.
I can't find the name of the brewery in Sake-no-wa...
The official name is Chiyouju Toraya Co.
The brewery makes Kasumijoju and Sanhyakunen no Toraya.
It seems to be a branch of the Kotobuki Toraya Brewery.
This is the first time I have had Chiyotobuki at home. The rice is Haenuki and Miyamanishiki, and they use Yamagata yeast. It has a mild sweetness. The aftertaste is nutty and lingers for quite a long time.
I bought it because I was impressed with Chiyotsu I had at another sake shop, but 🤔.
The second day, the sweetness increased, but I don't like the nuttiness that comes out.
Wine level +3, acidity 1.3.
Aroma: light white floral
Body: crisp
The aroma of Miyamakoi is thin and light, with few layers, and is dominated by ginjyosu aromas such as white flowers. The taste is pungent and the astringency is obvious in the finish, so it is a good wine to serve with sushi to minimize the astringency.
I stopped by a liquor store and bought it for half price, in the 800 yen range. It was a spring item, so the price was down 😙.
I thought it was an unusual brand, so I looked it up and found that it was a 300 year old law-breaker. I've seen this at a different liquor store 👀.
Hana no Keiji was available, so I opened a bottle. It's November, like spring.
Tastes like...
A little thick. Yellowish. What is this grain-like aroma that lingers in the nose? I can't describe it well, but it's quite rich and old-fashioned. The ad says it's fresh, but I think it might be better to call it flavorful 🤔.
I forgot to put potatoes in the pot-au-feu and edamame as accompaniments.
Good morning ellie!
Maybe it would have been fresh if I drank it in spring?
It might have tasted different 💦 since it's been sitting for 6 months.
Beautiful Fuji 🗻😍
Good evening Eirin-san.
It still changes after more than half a year... 😓I have a Kutouryuu that has been in the fridge for a year 😅.
It's Fuji in the morning sun😊Next time I will try to take a different angle 🏔.
3rd day after opening the bottle.
The sharp taste of the first day has fizzled out. The aftertaste is still there. If you want to enjoy a big dry wine, it should be freshly opened.
A friend of mine gave me a bottle of Chiyozu, which has a slightly bitter taste at the end, but it is a refreshing sake and does not interfere with food when drunk with it.
Umaumai and Umaumai-san for a drink (4)
I knew this sake from my neighbor's store, but I had avoided it because of the dry image of the tiger label 😅.
I was surprised to find out that it's a mellow, sweet and tasty type of sake.
You have to try it to understand 🤔.
