Koshiji-no-Kohubai. I bought it at Machidaya because they had just started to carry it. The aroma is melon with a hint of cemedine. It has a melon-like flavor and sweetness similar to that of Kuroryu, which is different from the "light and dry" style. It also has a crispness that is typical of Niigata sake. It is said to have won a platinum award at a sake competition judged by top French sommeliers. But it is a gutsy sake.

Koshiro no Kohbai Shiboritate Unfiltered Junmai Nama Genshu
I've been curious about this Koshijino Koume Shiboritate from Kibiki Shuzo.
It was wrapped in a paper bag with a design of dripping sake.
Ah, the freshly squeezed feeling.
I bought it at the first sake shop of the new year.
It is clear and bright yellow in color.
The aroma is gorgeous and mellow.
A crisp, refreshing sweet and sour taste permeates the palate.
It has a refreshing bitterness like grapefruit.
It is crisp, dry and juicy.
It is fresh and light, but with a solid flavor and drinkability.
It's delicious.
It's a dangerous 17 degrees.

★★★★★
Rice aroma
More sweetness
Slightly sour
Firm flavor
Light mouthfeel
The aftertaste is dry
This sake is named "To drink with Akitana fish".
It has a firm taste that is as good as sauteed fish.
Brand development. I told the liquor store what flavors I liked and they recommended this one.
The aroma is subdued, but the sweetness is like a combination of sugar and lactic acid. There is no miscellaneous taste.
When you drink it, it goes from sweet with a strong fizzy taste to sour. This alone is a common sweet and sour modern, but here the sweetness is a lactic acid type and it is deep and close to the umami taste. It is a contradictory expression, but it is light and smooth, and the richness and bitterness of the rice remain gently in the aftertaste.
It has a punchy mouthfeel. I think it is a sake quality that does not lose to the meat type.

Perfect sake for autumn🍁
Only for Akitana fish ❤️.
We've paired it with some charcoal grilled Akitana fish 🤤.
Nothing but the best!
Mr. Shishigami.
This is another label buy ^_^;
There are some labels that you can't resist buying, aren't there?
The white thing (what is it called?) that says "Drink with Akitana fish" is the smoke from roasting saury, isn't it?
Koshiro no Kohbai Usubeni Junmai Genshu
A gorgeous spring-like bottle
When served chilled
It has a clean and fruity aroma.
It is light on the palate, with some tangy acidity and astringency, like a light white wine. It is refreshing and easy to drink.
When it comes back to room temperature, it has a crisp dry taste with soft rice sweetness and umami, and is delicious with meals.

The sake "Koshiji no Beniume" contains the wish of the brewer to make a sake that is graceful and elegant like the red plum blossoming in Echigoji, and to make the drinker feel kindness.

★★★★☆
Gohyakumangoku, 60% rice polishing ratio.
Smooth in the mouth, but the flavorful taste follows. When paired with strong flavored food, the peculiarity of the drink becomes less noticeable.
