Sometimes I have an irresistible urge to drink Tsuchida, which has a slightly yellowish, thickened taste. Because it is low-alcohol, it goes down smoothly.
I wonder what the rice polishing ratio on the back label means: 90% for mother rice, 90% for koji rice, and 70% for kake rice. I'll look it up on my next business trip on the bullet train.
Firm sweetness and mild acidity with no corneriness. I like it very much. It tastes as ripe as its golden color looks, but it is not heavy at all, which makes it difficult to drink. Taste 9

At the usual restaurant.
We started with a unique sake.
It has the highest acidity and minus
Sake level is the highest I've ever had.
The color is also very dark.
The brewer recommended to drink it at room temperature and enjoy the changes.
So we drank it at room temperature.
It had a good balance of sourness and sweetness.

Dare not polish the rice too much.
The rice is sold in its original form with about 70% polished rice.
The rice is made with long-grain rice using the leftover Thai rice after corona.
It is served with eggplant dengaku.
It has a sour and spicy taste.
Usually sake has a koji ratio of 20%, but this one, as the name suggests, has been raised to 99% koji.
The moment you drink it, the sweetness is like eating a fruit in syrup with all its juice. It also has a long aftertaste.
The sweetness is like that of high-sugar grapes or muscats, and it comes straight from the bottle. It has a dessert-like feel. Very rich and dense flavor.
Junmai sake
Rice polishing ratio 90
Apple-like sweetness spreads in the mouth and disappears as soon as it passes down the throat. It is very dry and crisp. A little bit of oaky flavor can be felt. The taste is not boring and does not interfere with meals.
It has the same type of taste as Jyoshu Classic, but the taste is different. Each has its own character. Both are recommended.
Junmai dry, 90% polished rice
Almost no sweetness, very dry.
Fermentation feeling of lactic acid bacteria like yogurt at the moment of drinking. It is not an unpleasant sourness, but a sweetness feeling of yogurt, refreshing.
When you explore it, you can feel a sense of oak and the smell of wood.
The aftertaste is like rice shochu or whiskey aged in a Japanese sake barrel. I drank it while eating sukiyaki, and the way it resets the rich, sweet flavor is wonderful!
Even right after drinking a fruity junmai ginjo, you can still taste the umami!
Perverted Tsuchida
I was surprised at first by the yellow color of the drink.
I was also surprised when I drank it.
It has a strong sweetness and sourness.
Hmmm? It's a little bit sweet and sour, but it's so good you'll be addicted to it after all!
