I opened it with the association that just before the end of a year = 99%.
It was a little cold, but I served it at room temperature.
The aroma is sweet and sour with a hint of coniferous wood. The taste is also mainly mellow sweet and sour, but it is deep with a hint of fragrance from the wooden vat and a tight flavor.
It can be enjoyed alone or with food. It is suitable for strong and robust flavors.
Tsuchida
This sake was created in collaboration with 29ON, a members-only restaurant specializing in pairing low-temperature-cooked meat and sake, and is the perfect sake for meat.
Tsuchida uses rice from Gunma Prefecture for its rice. The concept is to bring out the flavor of the rice by using as little of that rice as possible (most sakes have a rice polishing ratio of 90%).
Well-integrated sweetness
The acidity is quite low this time.
The mouthfeel is rich, but the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing.
You will want to drink it after a while.

Rated 4.4
Rice: Gunma rice, Asahi no Yume; Rice polishing ratio: 90%; Koji: Shochu yellow and white; Koji ratio: 40%; Sake making method: Nama-moto; Sake mother: brewer's yeast; Alcohol percentage: 12.0 (original); Sake meter: -34; Acidity: 4.0; Amino acid: 2.5; Glucose: 6.7.
The richness and 12% alcohol content are achieved without adding water. Sweet, mellow, and brown sugar-like. Easy to drink with low alcohol content. The mouthfeel has a touch of Kimoto.
Purchased during a visit to the Tsuchida Sake Brewery ✨.
I really have a weakness for direct store exclusives: ‼️
Well, it's just a sign that I was there 💡.
My wife and I drank it all in no time 🍶.
Warmed. It has a heavy, sticky aroma...but it's not so heavy because it passes through the nose along with the acidity. The aftertaste is long, but not too loud. Like Yutaka Matsushige wearing Yohji Yamamoto? Huh?
A souvenir from my visit to Tsuchida Sake Brewery 🍶.
Adjusting the alcohol content to 12% is difficult, and this is the embodiment of that: ❗️
It was easy to drink 😁.
