Rubbed apple, lychee, coconut and passion fruit. A lot of information from the nose. On the palate, lychee and muscat, maybe, gorgeous. Mineral and fine, light texture. Juicy, but with an elegant fruity feel. It is harmonious. It disappears quickly and clearly. This is a good sake. Taste 4.5/5

Continuing to pick up some ascidians... Joban Line, the brick tunnels of the old line are still there. I think that after another 20-30 years, it will be a heritage of modernization. It is in such a beautiful state that I think it will become a modernization heritage. This sake has a bitter taste in addition to the sweetness. This bitterness is delicious with ascidians😋. It would go well with a variety of food 😀.

The aroma is just a hint of melon. Starts cold. The first taste of alcohol comes slowly, then there is a sweetness with a slightly ripe pineapple-like flavor, and then it slowly fades away. At room temperature, the sweetness is a little weaker and the sharpness stronger. When heated to 40°C (104°F), it has a strong acidity and a slightly bitter taste. At 50℃, the sweetness comes out a little more. I can't say that I like autumn sake, but this one is well-balanced and goes well with eggplant, pumpkin, nabe (hot pot) and other autumn foods. It looks like it could use a little more flavor.

KAB-san Good evening 😄I like this sake and buy it every fall. It has just the right balance or cohesiveness from sweetness to sharpness. It is a sake that goes well with autumn foods.

Sashu-san, good evening 🌃I have always preferred Zao, but I think it has become sweeter overall in recent years. I would like to try a standard one next.

It is a well-balanced bottle with a gentle umami of rice and mild acidity. In the mouth, the soft umami spreads gradually, with a clean and crisp finish. As the name "Horibe Hatake" suggests, the natural flavor is impressive, with the vitality of the rice and the aroma of the earth.

souvenir It has been a long time since I have had a traditional sake. As soon as you taste the faint sweetness, you are immediately enveloped by the sake-like flavor, with a spicy aftertaste. It would have been better to drink it cold instead of chilled. It was a little harsh for the palate accustomed to modern sake.

Although it is a pure sake, it is light because it is 16%. It was ranked 5th out of 13 bottles at the blind drinking party, Kinshokai. It tastes a little higher than that. They have no sense of taste. Fuyusae" means "bright as a winter morning. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20240312

I was in Miyagi Prefecture last weekend😊. We stopped by Zao Shuzo for some Kura Limited Sake 🩷. shinsaku3 let us try all the Kura Limited Sake and we bought the Autumn Sake and this test brewed sake that was made to be sweeter 👍. Today's menu was Western-style shabu-shabu. I made a sauce with grated onion, olive oil, consomme, and baked focaccia 🍞. Decided on a prototype to drink the one that goes with the olive oil! It's sweet 🥰 not too sweet and rich❣️ but somehow I keep drinking it‼️14 degrees? Delicious~‼️ I wondered if it would go well with olive oil? I wondered if it would go well with olive oil, but in the end the drink itself went down well, the first Western-style shabu-shabu was tasty in its own way, and the soy milk pudding for dessert was sweet and in good harmony, so the result was an okay and delicious supper. ❣️ The impression of the sake itself is by shinsaku3 💕.

Good evening, Mr. Peckho😄. I see that you matched it with olive oil! I wonder if white wine would work with wine, or even sake if it's not too sweet and rich? Soy milk pudding was common... â

Good morning, Pheho ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀. I'm looking forward to finding some sake when I go on an expedition 🥰. I was curious about the sake reviews, but [Western-style shabu-shabu] and [homemade focaccia] look delicious and I'm very curious about them: ✨️

Good evening, Pekho 🦉. I've never seen this sake before 😳I'm excited about what to pair it with when I think it's so rare 🎶. Western-style shabu-shabu seems to go well with wine-like sake! It will come in handy this winter💕.

Good morning ichiro18 from ❤️😃What would wine do for a meal that sometimes has the image of white wine? I think 🧐It's a risky drinking comparison but if I can find a Sogape wine white or other wine I'd like to try it with liquor and wine ‼️

I had to go to Miyagi Prefecture with Pepho on Sunday 🚗, so naturally we went looking for a sake brewery to buy some 😃. I was in charge of the tasting at the brewery 😅. According to the brewery's explanation Zao sake is made with a light flavor so that it doesn't interfere with the taste of light meals, but they wanted to try making a sweeter, richer sake, so they made only 300kg🌾 on a trial basis, but it ended up being light 💦" 🧐. It's delicious 😋 and our favorite 👍. Simple sweet taste, not too light and not too heavy 🍶, that's our image! The slightly low alcohol content of 14 degrees Celsius also helps make it easy to drink 👍 Pairing impressions were made by Pekho 😅 Here is my personal impression😅😅 My personal impression 😅Preference】9(10点満点) Aroma】Aroma of banana🍌 type Taste】5 is the maximum  -Spiciness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste  -Sweetness: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste  -Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste  -Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 1 lingering aftertaste  -Astringency: 0 at the beginning → 0 lingering 0  -Rice flavor: 1 at the beginning → 1 lingering aftertaste Mouthfeel】→2 Smaller number = light Bigger number = richer

Good morning, shinsaku3! I am a sake impressionist, and I have the privilege of tasting sake at a sake brewery. I appreciate your attitude of making things that are opposite to the direction you are good at, and I look forward to your future development: ✨️

Hi Gyve 😃 I was looking at you and Pekho silently for a while in front of the tasting table, but this time I won the right to taste the sake 😅. It seems that they are trying many things, so I would like to watch this brewery!
