Purchased at a liquor store in the mountains of Yokohama.
A sassy sweet cider. Refreshing and tasty on its own.
Is it typical of Niigata? The aroma and bitterness are followed by a slight carbonation.
When paired with raw oysters, the aroma of the oysters and the sweet sake flavor went well together.
It was a refreshing sake. I will buy it again.
The mouthfeel is coarse and the impact on the palate is tremendous. It is truly a raw sake. After that, the fruity flavor of green apples with a hint of oak and sourness spreads. The finish is slightly refreshing. Easy to drink, but be careful not to drink too much. ⭐️4.3
Koshinohomare Kijoshu kiki
Rating 4.3
Rice from Niigata Prefecture, 15% alcohol by volume, 70% milled rice, -14% nihonshudo, 1.97% acidity, 0.92% amino acidity.
The deep aroma reminds of melon and chocolate, and the sweetness and richness of kijoshu are harmoniously blended into a pleasant drinking experience. 90PINK", a low-polishing junmai sake, is used as part of the brewing water for junmai sake.
The acidity of "90PINK" tightens the overall flavor and creates a pleasant harmony.
The product name is derived from the first letter of both "kijoshu" and "90. It is a cute illustration of a golden-haired fox lady symbolizing the rich autumn harvest♪
I wonder if the bitterness is harsh from the I feel cacao.
The palate has a very strong sake flavor and a slight woody aroma all over, but the aftertaste is incredibly refreshing, and the difference in the highs and lows of flavor is tremendous.
I was impressed by the degree of perfection.

This is the first new sake of the season.
It is 90% sake, but unexpectedly it is not peculiar.
The acidity is quite strong, but there is also a robust flavor that does not lose to the acidity.
It may be the character of the rice...but as the amount of sake goes on, it becomes a bit hard to drink.
90YELLOW💛 of Koshinohomare
This is 90% polished new rice new sake.
We got the bottom of the bottle🍶.
It has a sweet aroma with a hint of acidity.
The palate has a mild juicy sweetness with a hint of acidity.
I often find the taste of low polished rice to be cloudy, but I have never had such a beautiful sake with 90% polished rice.
With this, 90% polished rice is also welcome 😊.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Koshinohomare, a recent favorite. It has a cute label and is a kijoshu.
It is easy to drink, not too sweet, and I like to drink it with chocolate.
I'd like to drink it with chocolate.
The last sake of the day, Koshinohomare
Last but not least, a cup of sake!
This sake is a little more peculiar than the previous ones!
But it is also delicious and perfect with local food!
That's all for today, as I have a business trip tomorrow!
By the way, the red train is a resort train called "Setsugetsuka".
I would like to ride on such an expensive train someday!
