(🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶+ 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 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...

Alcohol: 17° C At home, I tend to drink fruity and refreshing nama-zake this season, but I bought a bottle of Kenrishi at a local supermarket after a long time. It's a classic but sturdy honjozo! 🍶. It has a good aroma and sweetness, and is full-bodied and umami, but also has a nice sharpness, as is typical of a honjozo 👍. It can be drunk slowly and is easy to pair with a meal! It has a universal taste.

Alcohol content: 17 Rice used:Undisclosed Rice polishing ratio:undisclosed The color is slightly golden. The 900ml bottle size and reasonable price make it a sake for drinking at home with a glass of wine in the evening. This is the kind of sake that should be heated.

Stars My first kenrishi was a superb black pine kenrishi... The taste was well-balanced and delicious 😋. I enjoyed it all-around from cold to warmed up: ‼️ I want to try regular Kembishi and Kuromatsu Kembishi next time!

Notes from Tippsy Sake: This honjozo has a little more color than some sake because the brewers don’t carbon-filter it as much. This helps retain that tantalizing umami taste and a comfortable viscosity, something to give it some weight. My thoughts: Room Temperature - A full, unbridled flavor that sinks into the tongue and leaves some tingling behind as an aftertaste. Warm - Shockingly smooth when warm. I used my new sake heater set for the first time and it was what I’m guessing is nurukan.

The ones I bought at the supermarket and stored at room temperature. It was served at room temperature in a wine glass. At the entrance, the aroma of ripe rice straw and mushrooms, and the acidity that makes you feel the richness of the wine. In the mouth, the thick and at the same time light acidity supports the thick umami of the rice. The finish is soft and moderately dry. This is still a wonderful wine. It's half a miracle that such an authentic sake can be bought "normally" at a supermarket at a reasonable price ✨✨. Next, I heated it up. This time, I poured half of the sake into a 8 shaku tasting cup and heated it for less than 20 seconds. It was probably about 50℃, a little too warm from the aroma. At first, there is a strong smell of alcohol, but after waiting a while, the warm and soft sweetness of the rice spreads in the mouth with just the right amount of dryness. The aging aroma also becomes part of the mild mouthfeel as it warms up, very nice ✨✨. A sense of maturity from the entrance, thick umami, soft acidity, sweet and gentle mouthfeel and a mild and crisp finish. I am reminded once again that this is a sake that will continue to be loved beyond time. It has all the elements of a good sake 🍶. And this 1-gouple size bottle is both well designed and easy to use ✨✨.

Hello, Yasu-san. This bottle of Kuromatsu Kenbishi is excellent, isn't it? I wonder why this taste is available at supermarkets? The taste is so stable that it makes you wonder why you can buy it in supermarkets. It is indeed just right to be lukewarm 😊.

Hi ☀️ this bottle is really useful for dividing leftover sake into small portions and heating it up as it is ✨It's a safe thing to reach for when you go out to buy sake and are lost and can't make up your mind 😊.

Good evening, Yasu-san 🌛Kenrishi has always had a great taste and a strong management policy 😊These bottles can be lent to keep convection going and I was impressed by what President Shirakashi said 😆 We are keeping them at room temperature at home too 😁.

Nemuchi-san, good evening 🌙The development of these small bottles, the rethinking of the detailed process for the "unchanged taste", and this flexibility is probably what keeps the "tradition" stubbornly alive ✨The refrigerator is always full, so long live the sake that is stored at room temperature 😆.
