This is the second sake I purchased at Sake-no-Oikawa. I had an image of "Kijo-zake" as "Shinsaku Amasugi", but what do you think of it?
It is not extremely sweet, but it is sweet in its own way, and if I had to say, it has a melon-like flavor that is delicious.
Cold wholesale stored in snow in Echigo. It has a crisp, dry taste that can only be found in Niigata, but it also retains its umami flavor. We enjoyed it with Hiramasa and sea bass sashimi.
Koshi no Homare kiki Junmai-shu brewed Kijoshu
I've had Shinmasa's kijoshu before, but this may be my first time to drink it elsewhere. I bought a packet and it's easy to drink 💕
The owner was busy with customers that day.
I decline and ask him to let me look in the cold storage.
There are many brands on the blackboard that I don't know, so I go take a peek.
What is this cute label?
This is Koshinohomare!
And it's a Kijoshu!
It has a strong sweetness (melon, chocolate)!
The customer next door asked what it was like!
Is it like a dessert sake?
Yes, just as you say!
There are still many things we don't know about this day, so let's attack!
J&N are also trying something they've never had before.

By using "90PINK" as part of the brewing water, the acidity tightens the overall flavor and creates a pleasant harmony.

Sweetness and acidity are central to the flavor, but there is a raw roughness. There is a bitter aftertaste.

It is a dry sake that is crisp, clear, and easy to drink, and you will never get tired of drinking it.
Today's sashimi set meal (bonito, tuna, sea bream), it brings out the flavor of the sashimi and refreshes the aftertaste 😋.

Purchased limited edition sake at Hara Shuzo's brewery.
The white malted rice does a good job of accentuating the sweetness and fruity taste👍.
