Modern type because it's hot. It's been a while since I bought it, so it may not taste like it should, but it's refreshing, fruity, and just okay.

The mornings and evenings are starting to feel more like autumn 🌃 It's the time for hiyaoroshi and autumn harvest. ☺️ Well, tonight...I opened a bottle of Senkori Senko-hanabi 🎇 yesterday and it was so delicious that it was gone in no time, so I'm going to have a second bottle 😏. This is 💁Autumn breeze 🍂 from my favorite, Ko no Tsukasa, Aichi Prefecture. When you open the bottle, you can smell the fruity aroma of matured apple or pear 🤔. When you take a sip, you can taste the matured rich sweetness, then the umami that comes slowly. ...but I wonder... 💧. It's a little peculiar, like it doesn't have any character 😅. It's not at the level of "I can't stop" like the sparkler I was drinking earlier 😭. I thought I'd try it in the fall too 😞 because it tasted so good in the spring and summer. But I'm hoping for a change in taste, so I'll see you tomorrow ❗️ Day 2: 🗒️ Hmmm... 😟. I still feel the same aged taste.... but the miscellaneous taste has increased and I can feel the bitterness in the aftertaste 😭. I still feel the same aged taste... but the bitterness in the aftertaste has increased 😭. No repeat for next year...

Today, I suddenly had some time to kill, so I went to a corner bar that I had been curious about for a while. They had a three-drink comparison, so I chose these three types: ❤️ I had been curious about Takashi's Natsumirei for a while, but my local liquor store didn't carry it and I thought I wouldn't be able to drink it this year, so I was thrilled when I found this one in the fridge for the kaku-uchi 😍. The taste was delicious, with a soft fruity flavor that is typical of Ko no Tsukasa, but I think the Ko no Tsukasa Tokujun that I had previously tasted was softer and had a richer flavor.

IMADEYA's last is Takashi no Tsukasa! I had wanted to drink it because I had enjoyed it at a yakitori restaurant in Tama Plaza before, and happened to see Hina Hana Mama's post about it, and since it was on the menu, I decided to order it 😉. It has a mild fruity aroma. It has a soft mouthfeel and a moderate sweet/umami taste, but the hint of aroma is slightly melon. The acidity is also mild, and a sweet-tart aftertaste lingers. I found out later that it was dry, but I have notes from when I drank it, but there is no mention of dryness, and I don't know if it's because it's super soft water, but I didn't feel much of a dryness 🤔. Here is IMADEYA's menu for this time. Shinsei was listed on another POP ✨.

Japanese>English

Good morning, ichiro18 😃. Wow, Takashi no Tsukasa dry 🤩. I thought I would never be able to drink this 💦 but with super soft water, it's hard to feel the spiciness ⁉️ that might be a great discovery ☝️ I haven't dared to try it yet 🤣.

Japanese>English

Good morning, hinahana mama 😃. I didn't feel dryness so I think it's easy to drink, but if it's listed as dry, there is some resistance 😁I guess it's because of the super soft water, but Ko no Tsukasa is a sake I would like to drink in various ways 😃.

Good evening, Kotaro 😃. Yes, it's not dry, it's mild and delicious! I see you are going to Sumida ✨I went to Sumida where you can drink from noon since it is afternoon in Ginza.

First time drinking Ko no Tsukasa I don't think it is available in Sendai area. I learned about this brand from Sake-no-wa, and since it is my uncle's name brand, I really wanted to send it to him, but I was hesitant to spend the shipping cost to buy it. There is a certain desire among sake drinkers to give a gift of a brand related to a person's name, etc., and to make a smug face when you see the recipient's face, isn't there? It is a low-alcohol summer sake, with a refreshing sweetness and umami flavor, and a crisp finish. It was even better than I had imagined. I wish I could give this kind of sake to my uncle Takashi. Please don't abuse me. Sake words without my permission. 〜I'd rather connect with people over sake than money. Thank you very much for the food and drink!

Takashi no Tsukasa, Natsumirei was opened 🎉. More and more sake shops are adding fall sake to their lineup 🍂. Buyers in a hurry to consume summer sake... 💦. Sake industry, you are too much ahead of the season! That's why I'm going to drink summer sake: ☺️ This time Ko no Tsukasa will be the third bottle after the winter nigori and the standard sake❣️Natsumarei is a happy nigori🥹. The winter nigori was really good, so when I heard the summer sake was nigori, I got it 👌. Now let's have some summer nigori 🥂. First of all, the aroma! Slightly sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the refreshing sweetness spreading in the clear and refreshing water! In the second half, sourness and gasiness appear, and it goes down smoothly. There is no bitterness, pungency, or astringency. When mixing the cork The refreshing sweetness is reduced and becomes slightly milder. The rest remains the same, I don't think there is much change whether it is mixed or not. Anyway, Ko no Tsukasa has beautiful water🤩. It is said to be the divine water of Aichi, and because it is made of super soft water, it permeates naturally into the body. It soaks through without resistance🤤. Sweet, sour, refreshing, juicy and crazy easy to drink ❣️ Xia Ling, delicious 😋😋😋😋. I think I like the winter nigori better because it's sweet and sour and milky 💕Natsumarei is refreshing sweet and sour 🥰. Both are highly recommended nigori 🤗

ぺっほ

HinaHanaMama 💕Good morning! It is true that Aichi has soft water! I was surprised at the hardness when I moved to Saitama: ⭐️ The quality of the sake is the water 🧐I think drinking sake from all over the country makes the difference even more enjoyable and delicious 🥰Sweet and sour tastes good~‼️

Hina Hana Mama Hello! I have never heard of Ko no Tsukasa 🤩 It seems to be an easy to drink sake brewed with super soft water! As I told you before, I think it's great that you can sense the water in sake 😍.

Japanese>English

Hi Pekho 😃Thanks for your comment 💕Pekho grew up with soft water and misses the water in Aichi 💕Saitama is hard water 😳I guess hard water is better for cooking 😉Water changes a lot of things 🥰.

Japanese>English

Hi, Kojo 😃Thank you for your comment. If you drink Ko no Tsukasa, you will understand the meaning of soft water. ❣️ It is really gentle 🥰If you compare it with the sake from Hyogo, you may understand more. ☝️ Please give it a try 🤗.

Japanese>English

Hi HinaHanaMama 😃 I've been curious about this summer sake too, but after reading your review, it looks delicious 😍I'm confused by the many sake I want to drink 😅.

Japanese>English

Good evening ichiro18 😄Thank you for your comment... Summer Ling was sweet and sour, clear water and easy to drink summer sake 👌I would like to repeat it next year 🥰 but I would recommend the winter nigori more because it is ❣️ quite exquisite 😍
