Shinkai KT-901
The aroma has a strong acidic and alcoholic smell.
Mouthfeel is like a modern sake with a strong sweet, sour and umami taste. It has a firm taste, but the rest in the mouth cavity from the middle is refreshing! 😗(The acidity is squeaky clean!)
I was told that KT-901 is a yeast based on Kyokai No. 9 that is capable of producing more acid! I learned a lot 📖.

Soft rice flavor with a gentle, crisp finish.

Here is another brand new to me, Kamikai from Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. The light pink label is impressive, but it does not appear to be a spring sake.
It has a refreshing mouthfeel with gentle sweetness and acidity, and the umami is well balanced. It has a moderately dry taste and a bitter aftertaste, making it a good match with pizza.
I have been exploring new brands lately, and this one was right up my alley.
deep sea
Slightly sweet mouthfeel. Woody and grassy aroma penetrates the nose. Faintly foamy numbness. Astringent and refreshing on the palate. Slightly bitter taste. Taste of new sake.
Purchased at a sake brewery. The area of Koka City with its fields and residential areas.
The sake bottles are lined up in a showcase at the entrance of the office, with three bottles of new sake on the outside for show. I had to buy them because they were next to two bottles with cool labels.
I apologize for being so busy.
New sake is ready!
Postscript
When heated, the bitterness disappears and the sweetness is very strong. However, it is not too strong. Very tasty.

Drinking the rest of the autumn sake,
The service from the store 😁.
It's an amber colored old sake.
It was just a small amount to taste but it had a nice fluffy sensation 🤔.
Purchased at Takatsu with Laughing Four Seasons.
I picked it up because of the cute label💕
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 10 degrees Celsius
Second fermentation in the bottle, but with a hole in the stopper, it didn't spurt at all 🫧.
Fruity aroma, shwashy 🫧.
Sour and bitter, like grapefruit, delicious!
When the temperature goes up a bit, the sweetness comes out.
It's a sandesi, so it was gone in no time 😆.
This brewery often uses Otsu-e for their labels, and this sake has the third one, "Nabekanmuri", painted by Kozo Ando.
This guy also drew the label for Hakurei's Vivid series: 🖌️
The taste matched the illustration 🤝.
There are also the first and second daughters of this sake on the back label,
Actually, the third daughter is the most mature, as the youngest daughter should be.
The third sister is actually the most mature.
How about three sisters? How about three sisters?
Hi Pon. 😊
I feel a new wind is blowing with the activities of young people.
I feel a new wind is blowing. I'm sure you will be able to find a new way
I'm sure you will be able to find a new way to make it. I'm sure it's a good thing.
Hi Hanapin 🐦.
The label is important 😁 I think it will make you like sake because it tastes easy to drink 😊The only pity is that it's not sold in regular supermarkets 😅.
Hi Pon, good evening.
The first thing that caught my eye when I saw it was the label: ⤴️
It's fun just to look at the many posts of sake with eye-catching labels 🎵.
It's good for when I want to drink a little Sandesi sake 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I was wondering if he was some kind of a monster, but I didn't know there was a festival called "Nabekan Matsuri" and that it is one of the three most bizarre festivals in Japan 😲.
I think it's interesting to start with an illustration like this to try to develop a new appreciation for sake 😁.
Good evening, Ponchan.
I've had the 2 year old Sanjo before and it had a strong orangy taste, but this one looks delicious 🤣.
I was wondering if you are the one who does labels for Vivid 😳.
I thought you were a doujinshi type cartoonist 😅
Hello Pon-chan ^_^
So this is Sandesi👍.
Eye-catching label, and with three sisters 😊.
Drinking the three sisters makes me want to drink the second and the eldest too 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛I love it, you drank the third daughter 😉 I tried to collect everything from my eldest daughter at a certain Kyoto liquor store specializing in Shiga Prefecture, but they didn't sell it even though it was in stock 😭The label pops and has a Showa feel 😆.
Hi, ma-ki🐦.
I'm a sucker for cute labels 🤭 and I'm also a sucker for a lot of proportional flavors 😁Sandesi is great! I've been peeking in souvenir shops to see if they have any sake 😆.
Hi Jive 🐦.
Thank you so much for looking up the festival 😳😊I only remember seeing a little girl wearing something that looked like a big pot on TV but I thought it was interesting 🤔I would love to see it in person 🎶.
Hi bouken 🐦.
It's very acidic, so I think it would be a good orchid wine if it was aged 🤣 as expected from Jinkai-san 😊.
The illustration looked like he was wearing a Self Defense Force helmet, so I thought he was from there too 😅.
Hi Manta 🐦.
Yes, I think I missed the first and second daughters 😅The third daughter is listed as the most mature, so I guess she's a cleaner type than the first two 🤔It's too bad because the labels I saw online were cute too 😢.
Hello, Nemuchi 🐦.
Mr. N? You can't sell it to me 😳No way~! You could have come all the way to Kyoto 😭
My eldest daughter, including the coloring, is even more Showa-ish 😆 I gave up after seeing it with my third daughter 😂.
