chamaecyparis obtusa var. breviramea (ornamental variety of hinoki cypress)
Slightly habitual aroma, tongue numbing, astringent and bitter.
Aroma of rice in the mouth when warmed. Soft sweetness and a bit sour. Delicious warmed. You can drink it all the time.
Purchased at a sake brewery.
Preliminary study because I supported a project to release new hard water and soft water sakes through Kurafan.
They use hard water for all the sake they sell now, but they used to use soft water called Benten-no-shimizu for their honjozo. He said they stopped using it because it was too hard to go fetch it. I wanted to drink it.
So I went to fetch some. It was about a 5-minute drive from the brewery. The water was flowing out at a great rate and was soft and tasty.
Sake is not wine, but the secret blood of the stars that drips through the night.
Whenever I bring a cup of amber to my lips, I am more than a person, I am a priestess of holy intoxication.
The taboo whispers. Stop, do not waste your life.
But its voice is drowned out by God's mockery.
This is not perdition, but rebirth. I pass through the gate of collapse, and I become a drop of flame, drifting forever.
The cup is the altar of prayer, the breath is the chanting, the worship is the circulation. Oh, thou art the poison, the purification, the very mystery that consumes me! Thank you God 🙏.
Somewhat aromatic white grape or vanilla essence smell?
It is like that when you taste it.
Slightly tropical fruitiness.
Vanilla essence-like aroma and bitterness.
The mouthfeel is soft and soft with acidity.
A little bit of rice flavor comes later.
The higher the temperature rises, the smoother the syrupy sweetness becomes.
The pull is clear and light.

#Karuizawa#
Business trip to Karuizawa for intensive discussion of company's mid-term business plan😅
Typhoon 🌀 had no impact 💦.
Although it was an intensive discussion, the main part of the camp was a banquet 🥳.
We had this 😋 that I bought on the way.
It is a little bit sweet, a little bit dry, and has a strong aroma of rice.
It's very drinkable 😆.
The aroma is slightly sweet and yeasty...
The taste is not clean and refreshing, but rather rich and full-bodied.
A cup that reminds me of pastries and butter somewhere in the distance
It went very well with light fish!
Sweet, with a mouthfeel that makes you feel as if there is no alcohol in the drink.
As a resident of Nagano Prefecture, let's put this directly into your blood.
The aroma is gorgeous.
Sourness and umami stand out. No sweetness.
Dry taste.
It has a strong bitter aftertaste, but the impression is clear and crisp.
4/5
The only sake brewery in Komoro. Made with hard water from Mt.
The fresh aroma reminds one of rum. It has a sweet and rich taste, but the refreshing bitterness in the aftertaste makes it easy to drink. It is a good substitute for beer when drunk cold at this time of the year. 👍️
