Kurei often produces fruity sake, but this one is dry and rough. However, it still has a mouthfeel that is typical of Kure, and it is different from legacy dry sake. It tastes like it is made with rice, and the rice is well received. It is a manly sake that can be drunk in a manly way.
At the store.
Something doesn't fit...
At my usual liquor store, they recommended the "Ama Ama" one, but I guess it wasn't that, it was the regular one...
It was quite dry.
Today, I went to the morning market (Sunday market) for shopping: ☝️
After shopping, I was a little hungry...so I went to Hirome Market 😄.
I looked at the time, it was just before noon... For some reason, my wife found a Kurei... Well, of course she would drink 😁.
So I drank some Dokure after a long time ✨✨✨✨.
It's still as good as ever...it's raw and rough ☝️
No photo of the bonito, but of course I ordered it: ☝️
Drinking sake before noon is something else (lol)!
Kano-san, I went to the hirome market last year and it was great, I went two days in a row, the freshness of the straw-baked bonito tataki is also exceptional ❗️ even Rokkaku-san's latest version is in full Kochi mode😊.
Thanks for your comment Harry😊I sometimes join the tourists to enjoy bonito and sake😄Please come visit Kochi again ☝️The returning bonito around October is the best ☝️
I have always wanted to try Kurei. The label was very juicy. The rice used is Tosa Rei, which is a clear and beautiful sake, but at first I could not get used to the aroma, and it was not very juicy, and I felt the acidity was rather strong. The sake level of -4 seems suspiciously low.
However, as it warms up to room temperature, the aroma settles down and the sweetness increases. It's not just a matter of chilling it. It is delicious.
Rice polishing ratio 60%, alcohol content 15%.
Price: 1705 yen
This is the first time I drank Kurei.
I think some of Kabi's adjustments were too good, but it was too delicious, so I scraped it up for home later lol.

At Sake Rakumurakumo in Matsuyama City.
Enjoying sake snacks at a nearby izakaya with my junior colleagues.
The second glass was Kure Junmai Ginjo Tubakuchi
The second glass was Kure Junmai Ginjyo Tatekuchi Naojunshu. Like the first glass of Jyushiyo, this one was also very good.
Like the first cup of Jyushiyo, I felt a slight gas on the tip of my tongue.
I felt a slight gas on the tip of my tongue. Fruity, sweet, sour and bitter.
fruity, with a good balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness.
It is a dry sake with a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. The aftertaste is also smooth and clean. Chicken
