This is Raku Noze.
I sometimes want to drink "Gattunkei" 😆.
10/13 The bottle is now open 🍶.
Is it a new sake? It looks like it has been aged for half a year.
Well, it has been aged for half a year.
It's so rich and thick 🤪...did you age it in a barrel?
I can't find any fruit to describe it with my poor vocabulary 💦That's the funny thing about it though 🤣.
10/14
I've been working on ⤴️ since yesterday.
⭕️⭕️ fruit 🍋 - with a bitterness added 🍋 and even more ⤴️⤴️
The nectariness is amazing👍
The best accompaniment is a cold one 😆.
I also paired it with potato salad with pastrami in it, and it wasn't bad 😋.
Tasted at room temperature right after opening the bottle!
It has a great, gutsy flavor!
It has no unpleasant alcohol taste at all, and it seems to be easy to drink despite its alcohol content.
I have a feeling it will be great when heated!
From a junior 🎁.
It's not enough to give it to a drinker.
I heard that he consulted with the owner of the store about it.
But it's hard to find 20 degrees 🤣.
It was heated up as it should be 🍶 and was quite rich.
The rice flavor is concentrated.
It's a sake you want to drink well.
It is said to be an irregular sake.
The toji-san overfilled it with 4-stage rice or something😅.
The "Raku" on the label represents the over-filled rice, and the blue color represents the pale face of the toji-san.
Gutsy, but quite sweet and sour. It is much sweeter than other Raku no sei I've had, but I also feel its character.
The rice is from the terraced rice fields of Hida. I can't seem to name the rice, but I wonder if it is Hidahomare or some other rice that is only available in Gifu.
I heard that if you mention the name of the rice, you will get complaints like Kamerei did in Hiroshima, but if you don't mention the name, it's OK.
The aroma is smooth and mild, but there are also hints of grains and fruits. When you drink it, you can feel the richness and umami, as well as strong acidity and sweetness, spreading at once. The aftertaste is surprisingly not sharp and has a moderate aftertaste with a touch of bitterness.
The flavor is pleasant from the cold to the sunny side, and from the sunny side to the human body, the strength is felt, and from the lukewarm to the top warming, the acidity is felt more. When heated, it has a more alkaline taste, but the aroma is more pronounced, but on the other hand, it is more smooth. It depends on the food, but I like it at room temperature to human body temperature.
This time, we're going to compare and three different types of Kaze no Mori drinks, the second one.
Alcoholic 20 degrees, rich in flavor, sweet and delicious!
Aruzoe's Yamahai, purchased in quantity at Jizakaya Kodama.
I am almost new to Aruzoe, but I tried it cold...
Delicious!
It has the rich flavor and aroma of Kenrishi!
I'm seriously ashamed of myself for having been averse to aluzake until now...
This sake looks like it would be bad when heated.
I'll post an update once it's heated up.
September 24, 2023
I tried heating it up!
It was a little hot, and the alcohol aroma was strong, but not unpleasant.
It has a little bit of a Shaoxing sake-like flavor, like Kenrishi.
It's good, but I somehow thought it might be better heated up with Junmai, so I'll try Junmai next time.
Raku-no-se using local rice, Yumematsuri. It was a coincidence that Yumematsuri was prepared in a hurry because there was not enough rice for the fourth tier.
The rice has a mellow aroma with a sweet and sour taste, and the rich flavor is as always. Even right after opening the bottle, there is a soft sweetness that is pleasant to the palate, and the flavor seems to be blending well.
I would like to try heating it up when the weather gets cooler.
I had seen posts online that it looked strong, so I was prepared to take it and it was skimpy.
Huh! Fruity!
It's skippy!
That was my first impression.
And it also has a deep flavor.
A fashionable member of society who can do his job
who can work.
I think brewed sake is great.
I also think that alcohol-added sake is
I like the alcohol added to the alcohol!
This will be the first time I drink Raku no Sei at home.
The first day after opening the bottle
The first aroma is a modest sweet and sour aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a bit of bitterness. A little bitterness...
I was disappointed to find a bitterness similar to that of the Honjozo Raku no se that I drank at a bar last month... 🥹.
3rd day
The initial aroma is sweet and sour as well.
When it enters the mouth, the bitterness is almost gone and it becomes the usual rich sweet and sour 🍍 Raku no se 🥰.
The Honjozo we drank last month may have just been opened because there was not much left in the bottle if I recall.
I'm relieved at least😅.
