Kashiwazaki, Niigata Prefecture. Hara Sake Brewery Co.
Koshinohomare 90 Yellow Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-zake
Purchased at the Niigata Sake-no-jin OSAKA in Abeno Harukas.
It was sold out at one point, but was scheduled to arrive in the evening, so I went to another booth and tasted it.
I had it cold.
When the bottle was opened, there was a short gas sound.
The color is clear with a light yellow tinge.
The top aroma is a strong alkali aroma.
The mouthfeel is a little smooth.
It has a firm acidity with a hint of sweetness from the robust umami of the rice, giving it a very punchy impression.
The aroma that spreads after swallowing is citrusy, and the aftertaste is sweet and bitter like grapefruit.
Hazuki Minori is a new sake made from newly harvested rice, with a rice polishing ratio of 90%.
The new sake has a freshness and slightly alcoholic taste that is typical of new sake.
Ingredients: Rice, Rice Koji (Kashiwazaki City)
Polishing ratio: 90
Alcohol content: 13%.
This is the one that was left in the refrigerator.
100% Hazuki Minori used, 90% polished rice ratio.
I thought, "Does it really need to be that polished? It is easy to drink with a fruity mouthfeel and is very tasty with a sharp taste.
This is a souvenir from Niigata for my son. He thought it was perfect for my weakness for the word "limited edition" 🤣.
I thought it would have a classic taste, but it was clean, fresh, and calm. The aleso is not too much of a problem.
When heated to lukewarm, the flavor broadened and it was perfect as a food sake.
It was perfect as an in-between-dinner drink.
I bought a Mister Donut 🍩 for the first time in a long time and when I got home, Pikachu's ears were cracked 😂 I hid the cracked part and took a photo 📷.
Good evening, Rutemi 🦉.
As expected of your son, he knows exactly what his mother likes 😆 I love the ginkgo in the oden again 😻
Missed, you have such a cute one 😳Pikachu is 😻
Good evening, Pon😄
I'm reacting to the word "limited edition" 😅It's a hassle to break the shells of ginkgo nuts, but it's so easy to eat them 🤣.
Pikachu⚡️ would buy it if I find it 😉.
This is a new sake from Koshinohomare 🍶.
This is the first time to drink Koshinohomare.
The aroma on the nose is gorgeous and sweet.
Fresh and juicy on the palate.
It has a slight astringent taste that finishes off the palate.
This sake is not at all like Niigata 😊.
It was delicious 🍶✨.
Apple and wine-like aromas.
Soft texture, slightly gassy and tangy.
Youthful and soft rice flavor.
Lush fruitiness with a hint of melon and white grapes.
Modern taste,
Modern taste, but not too fruity as is often the case.
Taste: 3.5/5
Hara Sake Brewery's second product!
This one was also a gift!
This time it's a fresh stored sake... I was told to drink it cold, so I made sure it was nice and cold!
Well, what does it taste like?
Mmmm..! Sweet!
The sweetness comes in a flash, followed by a weak bitterness that finishes it off.
The aftertaste is slightly sweet, but it's not that sweet, and it's refreshing.
I got the impression from a certain manga that brewer's alcohol is not good, but it is tasty enough, and I can recommend it!
Drinking various brands of sake, I feel like I'm traveling around Japan with sake.
From Narita Airport, we watched a flying honu land at Narita Sakura no Yama Park, then went to sghr in Kujukuri🚙 and stopped at a liquor store before returning to the Nikko Hotel in Narita.
New sake made from 100% "Hazuki Minori" produced in Kashiwazaki and Kariba Village, one of the first harvested in Niigata Prefecture😊.
Toast to the feeling of freshly milled rice and freshly made gas, and to the eels we purchased on the approach to Mt. Narita 🥂.

The label design is based on the "% (percent)" symbol, expressing the fact that this is an ultra-low-polishing sake with a "90% polishing ratio". The 90% milling ratio is almost the same as that of the white rice we usually eat for food.
When you drink it, you can taste the rich umami of the rice, the refreshing sweetness, and the fresh taste with a light and lively acidity!
New brew! Will this be the first one this year?
It is deliciously sweet, but has a robust feel because of the 90% rice polishing ratio! I wonder if it is because of that.
I feel something other than tanginess.
It has a classical feel with a strong sense of rice.
I wonder if the milling ratio has something to do with it.
Sake that has been lying in bed for 8 years at Icoma.
I bought it after drinking it at Stamp Bar.
It has quite a matured aroma but is sweet and delicious.
It is good as warmed sake or at room temperature 🤔.
I thought it was a bit similar to Zuisho Kuromatsu Kenrishi, the most expensive Kenrishi.
The gap from the most recent Koshinohomare 90YELLOW is amazing!
There's also a kind of Western sake-like atmosphere in the mouth.
