Old wine over 4 years old, is it blended?
It is old, but not too old.
It is said to be good when heated, but I am not sure if I can ask for it, and it is almost gone.
Sake degree -4
Rice used: Kitsushizuku
Rice polishing ratio 65
We served it at room temperature.
I had a hard time choosing the first hand. Not too spicy and packed with flavor (vocabulary?). It has a good aroma and a smooth taste.
It has a unique Junmai aroma that passes through the nose and goes down the throat.
A limited edition sake for the April festival, it is calm and mellow, with a slight acidity that gives it a refreshing taste, but a full-bodied umami comes through.

Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Kuriyama-cho
Kuriyama-cho is where Director Kuriyama moved to?
Polishing ratio 50%, Ginpu 16%, Sake degree +6, Acidity 1.5, 2068 yen
Sake with a strong rice flavor and a refreshing taste.
I thought it was similar to "Kinpidake".
There is also an unfiltered raw sake version, so I'm interested in that too 🤔.
I forgot to take a picture 💦.
The closing drink is "Kitano Nishiki Shinaginari" from Yubari Kuriyama-cho. This local sake is made from "Kitashizuku" sake rice produced in Kuriyama-cho. It is a deeply flavored sake. It goes well with simmered octopus.
