Today is the first sake from Jyoshu in a while, Tsuchida!
I have a feeling that I'm not good at the previous post, but I'm not so good at the traditional sake making.
It doesn't make you think that it's a traditional sake yeast.
But the label says it's a traditional sake made since the Edo period!
What a great taste, a little sweet.
It goes down your throat smoothly and goes well with a side dish!
Is the label unrefined? But I think it's one that you can drink more and more of.
but I think it is a bottle that you can drink more and more.

Strong sweet and sour aroma
Nearly brownish yellow in color
Strong sourness fills the mouth.
The tongue is left with a short, strong sweet and sour taste.
The bitterness is also short-lived.
It has a strong aroma and taste, and is not a peculiar sake.
I drank it with asazuke (lightly pickled vegetables) and it went well with it.
Tsuchida Eph is not reproducible, and the quality of sake is said to vary greatly depending on the brewing year.
This is from the 2021-22 year, but I'm curious to see what other years have to offer!
On the second day, the initial sourness on the palate was reduced and the sake became easier to drink.
I came home and decided I wanted a soda, so I opened the bottle: ‼️
It took me about 30 minutes to open it lol.
The carbonation I had longed for was naturally strong and took me to a pleasant world with just one glass 🤭.
I'm going to work hard tomorrow 😤💪‼️
Tsuchida Bodai Hashiro & Nama Hashiro.
This Bodai Hashiro x Nama Hashiro was brewed only once as a tribute to the fantastic Bodai Hashiro x Yamahai Hashiro that was brewed for 3 years starting in 2008 B.Y. This Bodai Hashiro x Nama Hashiro was brewed for one time only. It was released after one year of aging in the brewery!
Rich aroma of almonds and roasted nuts,
The rich aroma of almonds and roasted nuts, the full-bodied sweetness, and the complex flavor spread out. It has a dry impression, yet the acidity is well drawn out.
The aftertaste is strangely light, perhaps due to the sharpness of the acidity. It is a unique sake design that is typical of Tsuchida.
It is served with Camembert cheese made from raw milk produced in Tone Numata. The characteristic acidity went well with the fresh Camembert!
The fifth drink is 99 from Tsuchida Brewery.
When I visited the brewery before
I drank a special version when I visited the brewery before.
From the color in the sake cup
I have a feeling that it has a strong flavor.
When I drank it, I knew it would be sweet!
And yet, it has a sourness like pineapple!
It has a strong honey flavor like a kijo sake.
It reminds me a little of soy sauce and mirin.

It is indeed an interesting sake. It can be described as a dessert sake, and it seems to go well with Western food. For example, grilled beef with balsamic sauce would be a good match for its sweet and sour taste.
Strong distinct flavor, Very unlike any regular sake.
Tangy, like drinking whey separated from yogurt.
This is far too acidic to drink with sushi or sashimi.
We tried it with seafood Ahijo and some garlicky cheese spread on a baguette
It is very lactic acidic!
The taste is robust.
Sourness and bitterness tighten the aftertaste.
The strength of the alcohol lingers in the mouth and heat rises in the throat.
