Kurosawa AKIAGARI Junmai Namaishige Hozumi Hozumi
BY6 100% Hitogokochi rice grown in-house, brewed with brewer's yeast
Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree +7, Acidity 2.2, Alcohol 16.5%.
The aroma is full. The mouthfeel is mellow and well-balanced in the mid-palate with a dry crisp finish.
Personally, I usually prefer more modern wines, but this one is a classic type, yet it is easy to drink. To be honest, this is one that I found "delicious" even though it is not my favorite. Calmness and thickness that is typical of Aki-agari
Preference Score: 6.5/10
Aroma: 1.0｜Mouthfeel: 1.0｜Medium: 1.0｜Final taste: 1.5｜Price: 2
*The score is low because it is a modern type standard, but in terms of the degree to which you want to repeat, it is about 8.5 points.
Of the two bottles we purchased on our trip to Karuizawa, this is the one we chose in anticipation of my wife's and father-in-law's tastes.
Now, how do you rate it!
👩🦰 Wife: 9/10 "I want more flavor. →She rated Nichitakami Yasuke as sweet, and Kurosawa Namahashio as not sweet but lacking in umami. She seems to be looking for a fruity rice umami.
👨🦳 Father-in-law: 7-8/10 "Sweet. →Is he sensing the sweetness of junmai sake? Maybe the best is al-soze light and dry...? Hmmm, difficult to say.
Kurosawa Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu 2024
Slightly pale yellow in color.
High aroma, pear-like fureshu, soft ginjo aroma with a slight fermentation.
Texture is light and smooth.
The mouthfeel is smooth, but the flavor is rich and dry.
Slightly spicy and pungent on entry
Sourness, sweetness, and umami, like when you eat a pear, hit you at once.
The bitterness in the aftertaste tightens up the whole taste.
The aftertaste of sweetness and sourness is exquisite.
This is a sake that brings the whole thing together.
Sake alone can be considered delicious!

This one is sour too, but something different.
I thought the sake yeast yeast also has a sour taste. But it's different from that sourness too...
It's basically a slightly smoky sourness, but there's some kind of honey-like sweetness to it...
Among the so-called "sour-sour" types, I kind of like it and it's delicious!
