6.5 points (wife 5.5 points)
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewer's alcohol
Rice Polishing Ratio: Undisclosed
Sake meter: Undisclosed
Silent when opened
No gassiness
Slightly tinged with a candy-like topknot
The slightly heavy aroma is the same as the top-rise aroma, with a moderate sweetness and a full-bodied rice flavor that spreads with a mild acidity.
It has a robust, classical feel, and is rich and delicious on its own with a sense of maturity, but it is better served with a solid meal.
It went well with grilled herring, marinated eggplant and steamed egg custard with udon noodles.

Kenbishi boasts a 500-year history. Mizuho Junmai is made by blending different aged sake like blended whiskey.
The caramel-like aroma and amber color of the sake may make one wince, but the flavor is rich and well-balanced with a pleasant aftertaste that is not overpowering. The taste is rich, but balanced without being cloying, and when heated up a little, it takes on a different spiciness.
The brewery's motto is "Keep the clock ticking," and this sake is quite different from the modern juicy sake, but that's good in its own way.

Kenbishi. You can buy Kembishi anywhere at a reasonable price. I finally drank it.
It's sake, but it's like Shaoxing sake. What is this mellowness? It has a sense of maturity like a brandy.
And the aftertaste is sake.
It's not that it imitates anything, but the commonality is a sign of sophistication and maturity.
It has a sweet mouthfeel, but it quickly cools down. It has a strong sake-like taste and is slightly prone to alcohol abuse.
If I had been born there, I would have liked it more, but it did not suit me very much.
（I'm sorry, Kembishi, but I drink it every night.)

This is the first sake I drank at the place where I stayed in Arima Onsen.
It has a pleasantly matured taste that flows smoothly.
The flavor is assertive but not too much, making it a very good sake for a meal.

The amber body gives it an image of a strong flavor. The combination of rice sourness and rice sweetness, the richness, the burnt bitterness, and the dryness make it a man's sake.

I bought it (for the half bottle) because I heard a rumor that you can easily lenghthen and heat sake using an empty bottle.
Since I was so curious, I heated up the original contents as well.
According to the instructions on the bottle, it should be lukewarm in 1 minute, but when I followed the instructions, it was clearly hot...
I tried different temperatures while letting it cool down (for the second time), but I liked the aroma and taste of the warmed sake.
It's not a beautiful type of sake at all, but I've never had a sake that felt like "sake" when heated. It is not at all a beautiful type of sake, but it is perfect for drinking sake that has a "sake" feeling when heated.
Of course, I keep an empty bottle.

Today we have a very fine Kuromatsu Kenbishi ❗️ manufactured last December. The color of the sake is golden like old sake❗️
The aroma is sweet with a hint of old incense. A sip brings a numbness to the tongue after the concentrated mouthfeel. Then a faint smoky aroma passes through the nose. ❗️As expected of a historical sake from Nada. ❗️ It is cleaner and easier to drink than expected and I drank a lot of it as a food sake. ❗️

I usually drink regular kenrishibai, but I had a kuromatsu kenrishibai once in a while.
It is a more mellow type and is great cold as well as heated!
I prefer it to the regular Kembishi when it's cold.
Of course, it tastes so much better when heated up!
Mr. Ota is in Miyazaki for the first time on the program!
And Gunma is still a surprise!
Miyazaki is a cold brew.
That's what I got as a souvenir!
You can find good food anywhere in Japan, but I personally think cold soup is at the top of the list!

Good evening, Shinjo-san 🦉.
This sake is delicious 😊I remember drinking it cold and warmed before and preferring the warmed version by far 😻I'm sorry for being a waste of time and money 😅.

Good evening (¡Ω).
It is worth doing even if it is a hassle!
However, it's going to be hot from now on, so I might be cold more often too!
But the difference between heated and cold is just too big...
