(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Sake cups purchased on my trip #4 This is my first time with Kenrishi ✨. The aroma is full of umami 🤔. On the palate, it has a caramel-like aroma, sweetness and depth of flavor, yet it's clean, crisp and easy to drink 🥰It's a delicious sake 🥳.

This time we changed things up a bit and bought a bottle of Kuromatsu Kenrishi❣️, which we fell in love with at first sight because of the shape of the bottle and the coolness of the label. I had it lukewarm with my homemade oden🍢🙏. It's also good that you can heat up the whole bottle in a ding-dong! It has a bit of an alcoholic aroma, but I don't mind it too much. It's just as spicy and easy to drink 😮❗️ It's like an evolution of the classic type of sake? and I enjoyed it with food 😚. The bottle is stylish and I'd like to keep a bottle in stock for when I want a little heated sake 👍 Thanks for the food!

I wanted a single bottle. What the heck, I got it at Yodobashi.com at a fixed price with free shipping. I wondered if they make any money on free shipping. I immediately heated it up in the microwave. It was easy to drink, with a nice aged aroma, and I finished it in no time, but it was 17 degrees, so the drunkenness followed. Kenrishi can be found in all supermarkets, probably because it is in constant demand. It is a good sake. Tax included 380 (180ml)

Amber color and aroma with a hint of grain acidity. The palate has a rich sweetness, sourness, and spiciness that is well pronounced. The spiciness and acidity remain in the aftertaste, but the sharpness is good. The rich umakuchi taste is similar to that of Tengumai's junmai sake. Alcohol content: 17%. Sake degree: 0 to +1 (estimated) Acidity: 1.6 Star: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kenrishi is an auspicious sake. The name and label are cool. Pale amber color and unique taste. For me, it is "The Sake" with a full-blown sake smell! It's cool to bundle up two or three bottles and bring them to a guest on an auspicious occasion. I still love it!

It has a perfect sake feel and is very drinkable. It is different from the usual type, but this kind of sake is good, isn't it? It is also good that it can be easily purchased at a local supermarket and stored at room temperature.

Another Kembishi. I used to think that sake should be served cold, but I decided that I am a sake drinker only if I accept everything, so I am drinking this Kenrishi, hot. I'm a person who has been drinking a lot of it, and for some reason it was Kembishi, and because my father used to drink it. When it's hot, it's mild, mild. It doesn't make you a drinker, but it makes you a sake lover. Seriously, mild. I drink it cold, but from now on, sometimes I'll drink it hot. No "it's going to get hot from now on...".

I stopped by the local liquor store on my way home from work to buy some beer 🍺... and they had some good cosy lentil heated sake 😅. I bought a bottle of sake with alcohol 😆 lol. I wasn't in the mood for heated sake since the weather has been warm the past few days... but the price attracted me 🤣. So, I opened the bottle and put it in the microwave as the label says: ❗️ The resulting aroma is ...... Oh... it's the sake 😅. It's heated up and tastes great, with a nice spiciness and sweetness from the brew alcohol that helps you feel tipsy. I'm just thankful for this kind of heated sake that's affordable for everyday drinking 🤔. I like this kind of gutsy old-fashioned sake, and I also like fruity sake... but in general, it's a good sake for everyday drinking 💧 (well, the price is less than a coin, so lol). It's been a while since I drank heated sake, but I still personally recommend Kamerei Shuzo for dry sake ❗️ If you're looking for umami, I'd recommend Kamo Kanehide's seasonal heated sake 🤔. I'd love to hear from you sakewa users about your recommendations for heated sake. 🗒️

I recommend heating up a small bottle of Kuromatsu Kenrishi 180ml 🍶, microwaved and served lukewarm. The shape of the bottle is very unique 😁. It has been in business for over 500 years, making it one of the top 3 sake breweries in Japan 😳. The aroma is classic with a hint of alcohol, and when you taste it, it has a very rich and mellow flavor, with a thick umami and acidity, and a sharp aftertaste that makes it very drinkable!
