Yamanashi Meikozo is a brewery located in Hakushu, Hokuto City, which is famous for Suntory's whiskey distillery at the foot of Mt. The brewery has been in business for 300 years, and has recently been actively producing fashionable sparkling sake.
I got this bottle from a hometown tax payment by Hokuto City. It was planned in collaboration with the French Alain Ducasse group, and is a blend of aged sake and noble sake, with bubbles created by secondary fermentation in the bottle. Be careful when opening the bottle, as the carbonation will cause the cork to pop.
We brought it to the Kawaguchi Fireworks Festival, which was held a little earlier this year. It has an impression of a slightly sweet and bitter Champagne, and since it is crisp, it goes well with liver patties and cheese! I guess it was originally made as a French toast, but we all drank it 😅.
⚫︎ Alcohol content: 12 degrees
Smells like white wine
No schwarziness
Fruity, sweet and juicy, with a deliciously soft chestnut-like sweetness in the finish.
It quickly disappears from the mouth and has a nice sharpness.
I like the taste.

This concludes the sake postings for September😅.
This is the first Shichiken hiyaoroshi I've had in 4 years!
The great thing about this sake is of course the taste, but what can I say, it's a great friend to those on a budget 🤩.
It's a strong ally of the pocketbook husband 😊.
The smell after opening the bottle is fruity and fresh, just like last time.
The taste is also the same! It is a little dry, but very easy to drink and has a smooth and smooth taste without any corners.
You can feel the deliciousness of the rice more when the temperature is closer to room temperature👍.
Delicious!

First time in half a year at Tokyo Racecourse with my horse racing drinking friend (husband of my wife's best friend) 🐎.
This racetrack is always huge! This racetrack is always huge! It's nothing compared to the Kokura Racecourse we went to in the summer! Cheers to the first race!
Tickets were a hit 💴.
The main prize was also a jackpot, and the sound of the refund machine counting the bills made me happy many times over 🥰.
Good morning, kozo 😃
I love it 🤩I'm so jealous of your purse 👛panning with horses 😆Please pour it into the new sake👍.
I'm waiting for Nanaken's hiyaoroshi too. But it's more dry, so it's a bit delicate 🤣.
Thanks for your hard work for September, Kozo 😊.
I've never seen anything but Yodo, so I'd like to see a big racecourse 😆.
I have a strong image of Nanaken as a sparkling wine, but Hiyayogoshi also looks delicious ❣️

Good evening...
I was so happy to get the target 🎯! I was so happy to see the target 🎯 when I was thinking "I'll do my best this month" 🥰! I can't wait to see what you think of the taste👍
Pon.
Good evening.
September was a losing month so it was a good day to get it back 😁Oh! I see you have been to Yodo 🤩 Great! I've never been and would love to go ᾒ.
It's on right now 😘.
Sake rice Fubin Bizan is used. If they say it is brewed with Hakushu's famous water, I'm curious.
The smell seems to be of rice sweetness.
When you drink it, the umami calls out to you from far away, and then the dryness spreads in the background. An interesting sake.
