It was given to me as a gift.
It looked expensive and delicious. It seemed sweet when opened, but after a while the sweetness subsided and it was a very tasty osake.
Basically, I don't drink much honjozo sake, but I tried a bottle of Kumamoto's Koroh. It has a good balance of umami and acidity, and I thought it would be a very cost-effective sake for drinking at home.
First sake from the recent paid tasting 🍶.
It is a perfect balance of rice flavor and pleasant acidity from fermentation 😋 It was tasted cold, but I'd like to drink it warm.
⚾️ bets, I wonder if I can hit it!

It is rare to have a chance to drink Kumamoto sake, so this is a precious drink for me personally.
It was a drink that went well with horse sashimi.
I thought the label and brand name were unfamiliar, so I asked the owner of the sake shop about it.
The Kumamoto Prefectural Sake Brewing Research Institute, where the No.9 yeast is made, is a place that usually manages yeast and does not usually make a lot of sake, but this time they made sake for the general public 🤔.
I heard that 🤔.
Please let me know if you know more details 😆😆😆.
Well, even though they say they can make good sake with #9 yeast...
It's Kumamoto's sake 😆😆.
I thought it was more like shochu 😂.
↑Totally prejudiced 🤣🤣
I bought it with prejudice!
Oh 😲😲😲😲
It's so delicious 😆⤴️⤴️⤴️
Clean but fruity
Not too much, but light ❣️❣️
Very nice balance 🎶.
I'd like to try type-B too!
Polishing ratio 65
Wow 😮 It's so refreshing you wouldn't believe it's 65%!
Alcohol content 14%.

Hello Rika 😊It's been a long time ❓
I also drank this sake in the summer, in a bottle of course 😁 I remember it was much more fruity and tasty than the label suggests 🤔.
Kan-san Koncha ❣️❣️ 😆 It's been a while since I've been in the sake business 🤣🤣 This is the right bottle 😍🙆I think it's perfect for a food sake ⤴️ I'd like to repeat 🎶👏.
I'm off to planetary exploration (greeting)
So, this is Koro's Planet No. 9!
Sweet and sour, that's all I have to say, and I can afford to buy it (a little bit).
I wonder how different it would be with type-B...?
It has a sweetness at the beginning, but it is not too sweet, and it finishes with a chili feeling, a sourness that is not too strong, and a citrusy aftertaste.
The citrus aftertaste is interesting... my current sensation is a slight taste of Bon Temps candy.
I can't say for sure, since it may change depending on my physical condition, what I had just before, what I ate, and the temperature, but I feel like it's not just sweet and sour, as I feel like I'm drinking it right now!
It's a light drink, so I guess it can go before or after a meal... I like it.
Slow sweetness
There is a little bit of sizzle.
A little bit of alcohol and sweetness in the nose
When served with curry, there was a slight sweetness and a crisp feeling.
Curry stays in the mouth for a long time, but it is refreshing.
KOHRO KOHRO Junmai-shu
Rating 4.5
Alcohol level: 14%, Sake meter: -4.9, Acidity: 1.95, Rice: Japanese, Polishing ratio: 65
This fresh, slightly gassy junmai sake was bottled and heated immediately after the tank was filled. The refreshing acidity from the white malted rice accents the excellent balance of acidity and amino acids. The alcohol content is also low. This low junmai-harakyu is a tropical fruit juice with a quality of sake that does not make you tired of drinking.
First time! Koro, Planet No. 9 was opened 🎉.
I picked up Planet 9 🪐 at a liquor store because of the label.
It's a CWS sake from Kororo in Kumamoto Prefecture ☺️
As I'm into Kyushu recently, I wanted to try it, so I bought it: ✌️
It seems that TYPE-A was released first, but I bought TYPE-B, so it won't be a review to compare the drinks, but I'll just review B this time 😉.
I'll take it right away 🥂.
First of all, the aroma
I guess it's slightly fruity.
I wondered if the sweetness would spread in the mouth, but it didn't. The sweetness was moderate.
The acidity seems to spread from the latter half of the bottle, but it does not.
Toward the end of the bottle, I thought I could feel the gasiness, but it faded away.
Hmm...🤔.
In a word, everything is understated.
To put it harshly, I think everything is half-hearted 😥.
There's no spiciness, no bitterness, no astringency, no cloying taste, but the sweetness is super understated and the acidity seems to be there but thin. The gasiness is only vaguely perceptible and uncharacteristic 💦.
It's easy to drink because it's low-alcohol and sloshes in, and the lack of impact doesn't interfere with food at all, so it might be a versatile food sake: ☝️
Very understated Shang Loh, good experience 🥰.

Good morning.
Interesting concept, "don't drink with your head... enjoy with your senses..." I think it's good for everyone to feel differently 👍It seems to be a delicate drink 😁.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃
I was wondering about this brand, but I see it is CWS! And I didn't know they have different types 😳.
I've never seen it for sale in my area, but if I find it, I'll buy it 👍.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 🦉.
I was wondering about this! The labels are different and 👀 very helpful 😊🙏.
I know the number 9, but I wonder what the origin of the planet is? 🤔
Hi Kojo 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
Even though I understood the concept and drank it, it was kind of subtle 💦 I see! I guess you could say it's a delicate drink. ☝️ I learned a lot from your expression that understatement is delicate 😆.
Hello ichiro18😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
I'm also interested in the TYPE-A flavor, but I might not buy it even if I see it 🤣very delicate sake 🍶I still want the stronger sweet and sour 😘.
Hi Ponchan 😃Thank you for your comment 😃.
The label is eye-catching 👀.
I hope the taste is helpful 🥰.
The meaning of the planets is a mystery to me too 🤔.
Please try our delicate taste: ☺️
Hi HinaHanaMama, good evening 🌛Karou sounds delicious 🤤It has a very thin taste and is far from our middle type of sake 😅I guess there are times it tastes good that way, but we still want sweet and sour 🥰.
Good evening HinaHanaMama🌝.
Looks like the brewery distributes Kyokai #9 yeast 👀.
Oh no, it didn't suit your palate 🥺.
There are exceptions like Kyushu sake and Hiran, but I have the impression that most of them are surprisingly light 😅.
Good evening, T.KISO 😄Thanks for your comment...
It's fluffy halfway across the planet 🪐!
Well, that could be a good idea 😆.
Well, let's call it that 👌.
Good evening, Nao888😄Thank you for your comment!
It's really delicate 😮💨
I'd like to see more sweet and sour 😅It's sweet, but far from my strike zone 🤣.
Good evening, Chirsta 😄Thank you for your comment♪
I was hoping for this since it's in Kyushu, but it's just one more step 😅 but I'm still going to attack Kyushu! But I'm still going to attack Kyushu 😅But I'm also looking forward to the various new sake 👍I have to try my best to get some ❣️🤩.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
What a unique and intriguing label ✨
All of your sake is very modest, isn't it? The variety of sake is one of the interesting things about sake!
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I saw this one at the liquor store I went to the other day, but I didn't buy it because I was looking for something else... but after reading your review, I want to try this kind of fluffy and atmospheric sake 🤣.
Hi yoyoyo😃Thank you for your comment.
The label is unique, but the taste is modest...💦It's not very distinctive, but it's excellent as a food wine 🥰...but I think it's hard to repeat if it doesn't have an impact...
Hello Kotaro 😃Thanks for your comment...
I see you saw it! I won't say I recommend it, but if you see the planet again at the liquor store 👀 take me to ❣️ to fluffy outer space 🤣.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😃.
For those of us who don't know the details of the flavor, and are mediocre types who drink with sensitivity, this one looks like it would be deeply delicious 😌😄I love the universe🪐 and would love to drink it 😌...
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃Thank you for your comment 😃.
Maybe you two sensitive people can feel the universe🪐s sensitivity 😆 It's not spicy, it's more on the sweet side. Maybe you can try it 🤔⁉️
A fresh and crisp aroma reminiscent of melon, apple and muscat.
The light bitterness is tightened by a light bitterness, clean, calm and elegant.
The slight chili taste is also good, even though it is fire-aged.
Oh, I found this bottle from Shochu Kingdom at Senmaru in Ishiyama.
I found it, concept workers selection.
Thank you 😭, I feel so close to many different breweries.
Now, opening the bottle, there are bubbles 🫧.
But I'm relieved that it's not so powerful that it blows up.
The label says strawberry aroma, but I'm not sure!
Let's drink it quickly!
My first impression is that it is soft and a little sweet.
It can be drunk quietly, and you will get drunk quietly.
The light alcohol content makes you feel less guilty!
And so the night goes on.
(What? I don't know what you are talking about! Are you just a drunk?)
thanks Senmaru (Sapporo Ishiyama, Ezo Province)
Type-A was good, but I really prefer type-B!
The sweet-sourness of Japanese citrus from the mild aroma, the subdued sweetness of Japanese pear and apple. Too good for this season...
This is the one I'll buy a few more bottles of tomorrow!
Maybe Kumamoto yeast is new to you?
I prefer this calmer nuance all the time I drink it.
I didn't realize I liked this so much that I liked the sake I bought so much...
