Fruits and Junmai Dry Harakiri Harakiri Koigawa] Summer Sake
Bought by mail order.
At room temperature. The aroma is definitely fruity, like banana. I don't like sake with a strong aroma, but I like this one a lot. The package is cute and I recommend it as a gift.

For the next sake, my brother requested a dry and clean sake, and the sake we chose was Junmai Daiginjo-shu from Koigawa (Koigawa).
It was my favorite type of sake and was quickly consumed 😜.

R1 bottled Koikawa. At room temperature, it has a strong sense of maturity.
When warmed, it has a strong sense of sharpness at higher temperatures, but as the temperature drops, the balance between umami and sharpness, including a mild sense of maturity, improves.

Purchased during a visit to the Umegawa liquor store in Shonai-machi. Classic standard junmai sake. A junmai sake with moderate body and a hint of rice sweetness. The current head brewer seems to be sticking to this style, which warms up quickly. There are many modern styles of sake in Shonai, as well as some that are light, tasty, and beautiful in keeping with the refined food culture of Tsuruoka-Sakata, but I think this one is really more along the lines of a classic.
It seems to be the most standard among the brands, and I would like to try something different in the future.

The touch of lightness is extremely refreshing.
Dry rice flavor with a slight body.

Summery and light.
It goes well with citrus-flavored boiled chrysanthemum.
Umami.
Degree of liking ☆4/5

First time getting the Koigawa I've been curious about✨.
Light means it's probably a summer sake 🤔.
Overall, it has a mild taste.
But as the temperature goes up, it gets more punchy,
I think it's good cold 😋.

Koikawa特別純米 恋の川 夏汲み原酒
けいけい
The label has an illustration of a yuletide cat and a lot of words about a woman's dry taste, but it is a junmai sake with a sharp taste that is more classical. It has little sweetness, and the impression is that it is fermented well, but you can taste the umami of the rice, miscellaneous flavors, and complex flavors.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Buy it at Daylink.
There are many good dry sake locally, so I would like to repeat this brand among them! I didn't find it attractive enough to make me want to repeat this brand. It's for everyday sake.
