On a trip to the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter. I wondered if the Kihei from Shizuoka was available here, but it was different. It is a little spicy. I think it goes better with meat than fish.

The third bottle is
Kihei Junmai Ginjyo Nama Storage Sake with Hakuto Yeast
The rice used: 100% Omachi rice.
I was looking forward to this sake the most among the three bottles.
I like this one the best out of the three.
But my partner said he didn't like it because of its peculiar taste.
My partner prefers fruity sake, so it seems that there is a difference in the direction of this sake, and that there may be a difference in likes and dislikes.

The second bottle is Kihei Honjozo
The first bottle is a Junmai-shu [fresh-stored sake] with the same 100% Akebono rice.
The difference in rice polishing ratio is 5% and the difference in alcohol content is about 1 degree.
The difference in alcohol content is about 1 degree.
The mouthfeel is the same smooth and silky.
But the sweetness is stronger in Junmai sake.
If you want a refreshing drink, the Honjozo is probably the better choice.
Shizuoka Souvenirs Extravaganza
I was supposed to buy a Kihei from Shizuoka at a supermarket in Shizuoka, but it turned out to be a Kihei from Okayama
But it turned out to be Kihei from Okayama...
Good thing I found out that there is another sake...
Then the "Kihei" limited edition sake on the right.
It is soft and light. It has a dry and astringent dry umami after a hint of green apple and cemedine.
It is lighter and lighter than the previous two, and the flavor flows like a star. The astringent nuance that gradually comes in is unique, but it disappears quickly, so it is habitually delicious!
