The grain is relatively strong.
Graininess is rather strong.
Light on the palate but heavy on the aroma.
It's sweet, but still has a graininess to it.
I expected too much.

The Roaches【P】兵庫県民
Junmai-shu*, a special junmai-shu brewed in the "ikuhashi-zukuri" method, is stored in Yoshinosugi sake barrels and bottled when it is at its most fragrant and ready to drink. It is characterized by a mellow flavor with a lingering umami taste typical of junmai sake and the fresh aroma of Yoshinosugi cedar, as well as a crisp, refreshing throat sensation.
Alcohol content 15
Ingredients: Rice, Rice Koji
(100% domestic rice)
Sake Quality Dry / Slightly light +5.0
The highest quality sake barrels are made from Yoshino cedar.
The dry sake brewed in the "barrel bottle" process is packed in a 72-liter barrel and shipped in a bottle when the aroma of Yoshinosugi cedar is just right. Yoshino cedar is used because the Kii Peninsula, where the sake is produced, has a mild and rainy climate, and the cedar has a good aroma and the grain of the wood is uniform, which has long been considered the best quality for sake barrels.
Refreshing aroma and a tight, refreshing finish
Kiku-Masamune "Barrel Sake" is an authentic dry sake with the aroma of Yoshino cedar. Enjoy the fresh aroma of Yoshinosugi cedar and the crisp, tight taste. It is best served chilled in a refrigerator. It can also be served chilled (at room temperature) if desired. If you want to warm it up, we recommend warming it up to 40-45℃.

It smells apple-like.
Something unusual aroma.
When you drink it, it is sweet!
It's like a banana with a sour taste.
Interesting.
This is my first time to drink a packaged sake.
I think this one is not bad.

Hot sake
It seems to be a power of natural lactobacilli. It is the first time in a long time to heat up sake.

もみじおろし
Aroma is good, taste is fair, 1,000 yen per 1 square kilo. Although it has some alcohol and stimulation, it is the strongest in terms of cosmetics. It is about one-fifth the price of most sake at this price!
Would you pay four to five times the price to drink it? Do you or don't you think a gin-pack is enough?" This is the standard by which I evaluate other sake.

禊萩（養殖）
Today, we are drinking sake from Hyogo Prefecture.
Today's sake is Kiku-Masamune Junmai Barrel Sake.
Purchased at a supercenter in Seki City.
It is one of the three brands that have been advertised in commercials since Misogi Hagi was a child.
When you open the bottle, you can feel the alcohol wafting from the aroma of Yoshino cedar.
A sharp flavor is asserted from the mouthfeel.
Although it is bottled, you feel as if you are drinking sake from a barrel.

Moriguchi Keihan Department Store, Hokuriku-Shinetsu Good Food Festival/Japanese Sake Festival④.
Booth of Kiku-Masamune, Hyogo Prefecture.
This time, I was able to talk with many young brewers. I heard that major breweries are having a hard time because of the rice riots in 2021 and the high price of rice from non-contracted farmers. The more rice they make, the more it costs.
◉ Kiku-Masamune Tokusen Kamikyo Hiyoshi Oroshi
The Kikumasamune is the best sake in today's lineup. It is indeed a refreshing sake.
◉Hyakumoku ALT 3
This is a high-end brand, but the price was raised in October. Fruity and easy to drink, with a sake-like feel at the end. A blend of Hyakumoku's Junmai Daiginjo and Kiku-Masamune's Junmai-standard sake.
Hyakumoku Junmai Ginjo
Dry but fruity with a clean finish.
Hyakumoku Junmai Daiginjo
Hyakumoku will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year. It is a very tasty, refreshing yet full-bodied sake.
The brewer also drinks sake from other breweries, and when I asked him which sake he liked best besides his own, he replied, "I like sake from the Tohoku region. He answered, "I like sake from the Tohoku region, and I like 00 Masamune. He told me that he joined Kiku-Masamune because he liked Hyakumoku, and that Hyakumoku also uses Tohoku yeast.

keikou
This is the sake I drink the most. It has a soft cedar aroma when drunk cold.
Officially, it is not recommended to be heated because it is a cask sake, but it doesn't matter. It is definitely delicious. But the cedar aroma is gone.
High quality. It's like a partner that you never get tired of. You can buy it anytime at the supermarket.
