I have been wanting to drink this sake regularly since I first encountered it at a sake event in Tokyo about two years ago.
It is a type of sake called "craft saké" that comes in a variety of flavors under the motto of "making sake drinkable in a casual way. It is refreshing and light, but you can still taste the flavor of sake.
Firm sweet corn aroma like a compote.
When you drink it, you get a sweet and sour yet corn kernel feeling and an aftertaste like you've eaten it.
Very tasty!
Tonight, I'll open my second bottle of Schwarzwald 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧.
This one has already been tasted at the recent "Young Dawn" 💁.

Hops, tangerine and mint 🍊🌿.
First of all, it seems to be a secondary fermentation in the bottle, so we had to struggle for about 5 minutes to open the bottle. (I'm using LIBROM bottles, so the neck of the bottle is short so it's easy to blow out 😅)
I only drank a small amount of the Young Dawn, so I'll have to reiterate that it has an orange-tinged color and light cloudy foam 🫧 The aroma and taste are just as the title says.
In a word, it's an adult Fanta Orange 🍊🤩.
It's really just a carbonated juice 🍹, but the minty freshness and hop bitterness are irresistible 😋😋😋😋😋😋.

Craft Sake
It's not sake, but I'll give it to you just in case.
A good match for sweet-and-sour pork.
This is the 6th anniversary of a western style izakaya that does not serve sake.
I thought what better way to celebrate than with a gift of craft saké (Mint and Kiwi).
The Mint was opened and used as a toast.
It is nigori (cloudy), highly carbonated, and full of juice. I don't think the minty taste is strong.
It would be too thin if it was mixed with soda. Zucchini fritters with Parmigiano.
This will be my first LIBROM from Kraft Sake, which I was curious about after hearing that they are concerned with Fukuoka ingredients 🍶.
They use strawberries🍓 from Chikugo City.
The top aroma is of malted rice and a mysterious sweet aroma.
But I don't think it smells like strawberries.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slightly carbonated and sharp taste.
It has a sweet and sour taste with a strong acidity.
Maybe it's because it doesn't smell like strawberries, but it doesn't taste like strawberries 😅It's fun to drink something like this once in a while.
It was delicious 🍶🍓.
Quite soggy and active. Takes 5 minutes to open. Cola aroma. Sweet and sour. Minty. The sweetness of cola is not so strong. 87 points
Sweetness: 2.7

More like a cocktail than a sake, with mint gently following after the elegant fresh mandarin oranges.
Even people who don't like alcohol can easily drink it.
