Tochigi Prefecture will receive "Kubi" from Amataka Shuzo 🤗.
It's a raw sake with a surprisingly low alcohol content of 9% ❗️
I'm curious to know what it tastes like😆.
Now then...
Oh, it smells like rice 🌾🌾.
It tastes slightly sweet but also alcoholic 🍶.
The taste is still grain-like, but it's not as robust as it should be.
Not too sweet for its sake level of -16, and with an acidity of 2.2, it's well balanced ✨.
The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. ☺️
It's a little more acidic than sweet, but it's good for people who aren't used to drinking sake ✨.
Definitely tastes better chilled 😋.
Be careful, the higher the temperature, the more blurred the taste will become. ⚠️
The aroma is faint, with a slight sweetness. On the palate, there is a light spiciness that tingles slightly on the tip of the tongue and throat. The core is sweetness unique to rice. In general, it has a gentle taste.
They brewed the first Kuo series Daimaru Onsen this year. It has a salty muscat aroma, well-balanced bitterness and sourness, and acidity that is quite good. Delicious.
Hot spring water brewing...I had never seen it before. I was curious and bought it.
It is smooth to drink. It has a slightly sour taste with a gentle, sweet and delicious flavor. It is a well-balanced sake with a juicy taste. The alcohol content is a little strong (17 degrees). It is delicious.
Good evening, Gula-chan. I'm having trouble imagining Gula-chan drinking at 17 degrees and a bit strong 🥹I'm the kind of person who would fall down if I drank!
Good morning, Nochi-san. I was too stupid to notice the strength of the degree and when I looked it was 17 degrees. It's delicious so I don't think you will fall down 😁.
Clear liquid color
Sweet and fresh aroma
When you drink it, it has a pineapple-like sweetness.
Long aftertaste, with a slight bitterness, chestnut? Rice? Soft sweetness of chestnut or rice lingers in the aftertaste.
Purchased at a liquor store near Yoshizuka Station
Unusual sake blended with aged sake
(Just after opening the bottle)
Drink it cold.
Golden color with no turbidity.
Strong aged aroma similar to that of Shaoxing wine.
Heavy in the mouth with a sweet taste.
Unlike Shaoxing wine, it retains a slight taste of rice.
The sweetness lingers in the mouth for a long time.
Nutty aftertaste.
Strong alcohol taste through the nose, but milder than that of shochu on the rocks
It was so good, I had to repeat the nine. Cheers to the Miyazaki char-grilled chicken, grilled soaked eggplant, red bean paste, and grilled salted pumpkin!
It is said to be a standard product of Kuo. It is junodai, but reasonably priced at 1,650 yen without tax. It was my first time drinking this brand, but since it is a Tochigi sake, a new brand limited to semi-major dealers, and handled by Mashida and Yodogawa Sake Brewery, I picked it up thinking it would be a no-brainer.
On the first day, we started with heating the sake to 40°C. The aroma is slightly apple-like, but mild. The aroma is slightly apple-like, but mild. When you drink it, it has an apple-like aroma and a delicious rice flavor, followed by bitterness and spiciness.
The second day, served cold. It has a slight alcohol-like taste and rice flavor, and slowly lifts. Less sharp than heated sake.
This is a very high level of perfection. It is a bit on the modern side, but not too modern, and goes well with a variety of foods.
Hi Kab 😃
You must be a Tochigi connoisseur to be convinced by Mashidaya and Yodogawa 🤗.
We've only had Kubi once 😅I remember it as having a very unique flavor!
Good evening Jay and Nobby 🌃
New brands from big local breweries that are exclusive to special dealers are often perfect and reasonable 😊Tochigi-esque but also good for food, I liked it a lot 😁.
