Nine Dragon Drooping Mouths: ❣️
The only one of Kuroryu? I've been wanting to try this one.
I wanted to try it 🎶.
I got it on my trip to Morioka.
The aroma of melon fruit and fresh green like new sake.
Rich and impactful sweetness, yet surprisingly tight in the mouth 💕.
After the sweetness, the bitterness and acidity spread out exquisitely, making it well-balanced and easy to drink 😋.
I don't feel any alsophagy at all 😋❣️
This is delicious 🎶.
Good sake with good cost performance 😉👍
When I go to Morioka 🚗³₃, I often stop by this yakiniku restaurant for ramen🍜!
Calbee soup ramen: ❣️
It's deliciously spicy and quite tasty 😋!
I can't stop eating ramen while sweating 😁.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku produced in Fukui Prefecture.
It has a surprisingly sweet and robust flavor. It can be drunk on its own without an entrée. The aroma is faintly pleasant, with a hint of green apple. The aftertaste is pleasant and fades out without leaving a strange aftertaste.
I tried it cold, lukewarm, and hot, and it was best cold. When heated, it is silky on the palate.
I did some research and found that cold sake is still recommended.
Recommended by an acquaintance.
From the elegant melon-like aroma to the slight petiteness, the umami spreads in the mouth.
The sourness follows the spread of the umami, and it disappears in the throat leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Umami -> sourness -> fluffy
This is the kind of sake that goes well with Japanese food. It seems to go well with Japanese food.
It is a good sake to be heated up.
The second bottle this year is a Kutouryuu Doroguchi from the Kuroryu Shuzo brewery. I have had Kuroryu Doroguchi before, but this was my first time drinking Kutouryuu.
It was full of flavor and sweeter than Kuroryu.
It was more like an after-dinner drink than a mid-dinner drink.
It is easy to drink, so be careful not to drink too much.

It's been a cold sake holiday season, so it's time to warm up some sake!
We enjoyed heated sake at Kanetanoshi!
It's fun to watch the temperature with a sake warmer while heating the sake!
I think I felt the roundness of the sake when it was warmed up rather than hot.
A little tangy at higher temperatures, but rounded at lukewarm!
The taste is both refreshing and rich.
It was the best bottle of sake I've ever tasted that was both delicious and fun to warm up 😀.
I bought it at a kagataya after hearing a recommendation to drink it warmed up. I bought it at Kagataya after hearing the recommendation to drink it warmed up, and it was very delicious!
