The mouthfeel is coarse and the impact on the palate is tremendous. It is truly a raw sake. After that, the fruity flavor of green apples with a hint of oak and sourness spreads. The finish is slightly refreshing. Easy to drink, but be careful not to drink too much. ⭐️4.3
Koshinohomare Kijoshu kiki
Rating 4.3
Rice from Niigata Prefecture, 15% alcohol by volume, 70% milled rice, -14% nihonshudo, 1.97% acidity, 0.92% amino acidity.
The deep aroma reminds of melon and chocolate, and the sweetness and richness of kijoshu are harmoniously blended into a pleasant drinking experience. 90PINK", a low-polishing junmai sake, is used as part of the brewing water for junmai sake.
The acidity of "90PINK" tightens the overall flavor and creates a pleasant harmony.
The product name is derived from the first letter of both "kijoshu" and "90. It is a cute illustration of a golden-haired fox lady symbolizing the rich autumn harvest♪
I wonder if the bitterness is harsh from the I feel cacao.
The palate has a very strong sake flavor and a slight woody aroma all over, but the aftertaste is incredibly refreshing, and the difference in the highs and lows of flavor is tremendous.
I was impressed by the degree of perfection.

90YELLOW is Hazukiminori, an extremely early variety, the earliest harvested in Niigata, a rice-producing region.

This is the first new sake of the season.
It is 90% sake, but unexpectedly it is not peculiar.
The acidity is quite strong, but there is also a robust flavor that does not lose to the acidity.
It may be the character of the rice...but as the amount of sake goes on, it becomes a bit hard to drink.
90YELLOW💛 of Koshinohomare
This is 90% polished new rice new sake.
We got the bottom of the bottle🍶.
It has a sweet aroma with a hint of acidity.
The palate has a mild juicy sweetness with a hint of acidity.
I often find the taste of low polished rice to be cloudy, but I have never had such a beautiful sake with 90% polished rice.
With this, 90% polished rice is also welcome 😊.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Koshinohomare, a recent favorite. It has a cute label and is a kijoshu.
It is easy to drink, not too sweet, and I like to drink it with chocolate.
I'd like to drink it with chocolate.
The last sake of the day, Koshinohomare
Last but not least, a cup of sake!
This sake is a little more peculiar than the previous ones!
But it is also delicious and perfect with local food!
That's all for today, as I have a business trip tomorrow!
By the way, the red train is a resort train called "Setsugetsuka".
I would like to ride on such an expensive train someday!
Deep aroma of delicious acidity. Red grape
little thickening
strong acidity and al nose from deliciously bitter and astringent
bitter sweetness to the end. long aftertaste
strong tongue roughness
Very red grape feeling! Modern.
Purchased at the annual hiyaoroshi event at the Hanshin Department Store Nishinomiya posted earlier by Pekka Ru.
It was a spectacular sight to see over 150 varieties of hiyaoroshi!
The label doesn't say, but according to the Meimon Sake Kai's website, it looks like hiyaoroshi.
I bought some jackets, but I thought hiyaoroshi was rare in kijo sake, so I bought some.
It's juicy, sweet and sour like a melon. It also tastes a little complex. It's a kijoshu, but it's not too sweet and easy to drink. The label is really cute too!
The logo says "90" so I wonder if the base sake is based on the 90% milled rice ratio sake I bought at Harukas last year 🤔.
I served it with smoked octopus from Shibakusan, which was on sale at the Hiyaoroshi event.
I really wanted the melt-in-your-mouth smoked mackerel, but it seemed to be sold out immediately so I couldn't buy it 😿.
After tasting a few things, I bought smoked octopus and smoked chicken wings 😁.
It looks like boiled octopus sashimi, but the smoked aroma was so delicious 😋.
After 3 days, the melon flavor became much stronger 🍈.
Hello, bouken!
No~, you are as good as you think you are! Your choice of sake is different. So there was a Hiyayogoshi of Kijo sake?
That's amazing! I had not gone through it...
That looks like a very interesting sake!
Hello Mr. Pekkaar ☂️
I anticipated and targeted this sake from the beginning 😁.
It was a little fruity, sweet and sour 😋I have 2 more sakes I bought at this event😊.

Good balance. It goes in easily. It has a spiciness and sharpness when paired with yellowtail sashimi, and acidity in the finish. At 50 degrees, you may not feel much change. 60 degrees. Elegant. Aroma of rice. The sweetness increases. Very good with yellowtail fat.
Purchased by mail order from Sake Kadoya @ Murakami.
This is the second sake I purchased at Sake-no-Oikawa. I had an image of "Kijo-zake" as "Shinsaku Amasugi", but what do you think of it?
It is not extremely sweet, but it is sweet in its own way, and if I had to say, it has a melon-like flavor that is delicious.
