I had a chance to drink some sake from a new brewery in Kochi, and I bought it because it was my favorite strain.
Personally, I had high expectations for this sake because it comes from Kameizumi.
When cold, the aroma was rather subdued, and as the temperature rose, I could detect a pineapple-like aroma, which is typical of Seru.
It is a sweet and sour type of sake with both sweetness and sourness coming out strongly, and the sourness leaves a stronger impression than the very sweet type.
The sourness that lingers in the mouth leaves a strong impression, and the sake finishes relatively nicely, giving the impression of a dry sake.

Recently hooked on alcoholic beverages
I bought it because of its name.
Sake that turned out to be delicious
I bought a packet for the first time
It was a great success!

Kawazawa Sake Brewery has been on my radar ever since I saw the news about the brewery's birth.
The brewery owner's son? An elementary school boy was going around handing out flyers 😊.
Seeing something like this makes me want to support them🤗.
We drank
Clouds on the mountain Zaagusaag Special Junmai
Gohyakumangoku, 60% polished rice
I got the impression that it was a dry sake with a good sweetness and umami.
Yama ni Kumo no Karara Karara Junmai Daiginjo
Gin no Yume 50% polished rice
The aroma is sweet.
It is sweet and fruity. The acidity is fruit-like.
Low alcohol content, light and easy to drink.
Expect to find it in the antenna store at KITTE.

The booth of "Clouds in the Mountains" in Kochi.
This is the newest brewery in Kochi, established in 2024 by Takahisa Kawazawa, the toji (master brewer) of Kameizumi Sake Brewery.

The sake rice is Gin-no-Yume and the yeast is AA-41, which I had heard tends to give a banana taste, but this one has a sharp citrus acidity. It has a Junmai-shu character and is somewhat modern.
Clouds over Mt.
Sake rice is Gohyaku-Man and the yeast is AC95-80.
This one has a milder acidity and is more like a standard sake. Sharp standard.
Found an unknown brand at a liquor store and bought it because of the name and label.
It seems to be a new sake brewery that was established last year in Kochi Prefecture.
The taste is dry but also sweet. I've been enjoying some Kochi sake at home that I bought on a recent trip, but it's different from the sake I've been drinking. The label and the name of the sake are very particular. 70 points.
Sake from Kochi that I was curious about
I got it at King!
There was another type of sweet sake, but I chose the Tokujun over the Junmai Daiginjo.
It was a good choice. It was Kochi and refreshing, but it was dry and good with umami and sweetness.
Not too Kochi, not too sweet, I would like to try many kinds of sake.

The new brewery in Tosa.
It's dry like Tosa, but with a sweetness that makes it a popular sake these days.
It tastes like it will be popular.
I'd like to compare the two, since they were in the neighborhood.
I think I bought sake everywhere during GW, but I bought this one at a place in Saitama for the first time. The label caught my eye, so I bought it.
It has a nice ginjo aroma and an ama-like taste, followed by a bitter or astringent taste. After the moderate ginjo aroma and ama-ama feeling, a bitterness or astringency followed. I thought that this pattern might not be so common. It may be an addictive taste.
Good morning, madamarr 😃!
Congratulations on your 300 check-in ㊗️㊗️㊗️ for your first drink "Clouds in the Mountains" 🎉I'm curious about your distinctive label quirkiness 😋.
Thank you for celebrating my 300th check-in, of which even I am unaware.
I tend to choose the most unusual ones these days, but this one was a success. If you have a chance, please do.
