Lightly cloudy with a hint of sweetness. It has a gorgeous aroma that can only be achieved with aleso. The easy-to-drink aftertaste cuts through easily. The alcohol content is high at 18%. Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, and the rice polishing ratio is 65%.

Summer Shibori! Slight amber color It has a strong alcohol feeling. It has a lot of punch! It's a sake like Fukui Prefecture. It's delicious.

The aroma is subdued❓. When you drink it, it is faintly melon 🍈😊. The sweetness is moderate, not too spicy and smooth❗️ It's an aluzoe, but it's not too alcoholic and it's gentle 👍 but it's too gentle and it's not enough🤔. I've heard that it's recommended to drink it warmed up, so I'm going to try that next time❗️Overall, it was a light and easy to drink delicious sake😊.

I suddenly wanted to drink some Kijo sake, so I went to my usual liquor store! So I bought this one 😊. I had an image of kijoshu as sweet, rich, and robust, but this one is not robust, but rather smooth and easy to drink👍. But this one is not so thick and smooth and is easy to drink 👍 But it has a firm sweetness, umami, and bitterness, and is a well-balanced kijo-zake that can be enjoyed with rich dishes.

Alcohol content: 15.5%. Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio: 65 At a sake meeting in Tokyo. This sake is recommended to be heated to lukewarm or higher. There was also a heated sake corner, so I had it heated. I compared it to room temperature sake, but it was interesting to note that the sweetness seemed to decrease when the sake was heated. Heated sake is a very deep drink. By the way, this sake is also delicious at room temperature.

The bottle has a cool shape. It is a very light and easy to drink refreshing wine. I paired it with a white soup rice pot of Xiao Hui Lambs, and it was a nice match. It also went well with lightly seasoned boiled bamboo shoots.

It is full-bodied, sharp and a little tender. It is robust and tasty. It went well with chicken shiranyu hot pot. It may be the best sake for its cost performance. ★★☆☆☆☆

Purchased at a Fukui Prefecture antenna store in Tokyo. Served cold. At first sip, the aroma was not particularly strong, but as soon as it hit the palate, a full, soft sweetness spread across the palate! I wanted to check the surprise again and again, and as I continued drinking, I noticed a slight sourness or bitterness. As I continued to drink it, I started to taste a little sourness or bitterness ⁉︎ but it tasted like ripe bananas.... How about beef stew or meat pie next time?

At my usual liquor store, the lineup was not very decisive for me, as I am a jacket-buying type of person. In such a case, I was torn between Ichikyorai and Kutouryu Junmai, thinking that Kuroryu Kutouryu is a safe choice. I chose the Kutouryuu, hoping for a rummy taste. I finished it in a flash and was satisfied as expected.

This year, Kutouryuu Jungin Dareguchi was overshadowed by Kuroryu Jungin Dareguchi and could not be found at all! The Kutouryuu series is characterized by its high cost performance and the use of sake rice produced in Fukui! Last year, when we had a first contact with this sake, we were impressed by its rich and fresh melon flavor. ...... is a twist, isn't it? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a bottle of sake that's been in production for 6 months.... I'm not sure I would have noticed the twist if I hadn't had the experience of drinking it. On a side note, the master of the liquor store told me that Kutouryuu's new autumn sake will be hiyaoroshi, which is a hiyaoroshi with a dripping mouth. Sounds sweet!

Is that a twist gone? Is that possible?　Melon feeling is coming!

I didn't drink enough "Umeko no Himitsu" today. I'll have an extra bottle of Kutouryuu Kijoshu, a souvenir (for myself) from the Shinshu/Hokuriku round-the-border tour. I'll have some more Kutouryuu Kijoshu. Oh, oh, it smells like cemedine! (I feel like I've done it!). In the mouth, it is a wonder, soft taste and mild sweetness. The soft taste and mild sweetness is truly the magic of Kuroryu! I didn't know kijoshu could be so mild. I thought it would be more like a radical sweetness! Oh no, this balance is exquisite! Kuroryu Shuzo, you are a god!
