The third bottle.
This time, I chose "Kozutsuru".
The price was 2,310 yen! It is a very reasonable bottle.
Again, we divided it into two and a half four-packs. We drank it cold.
On the way home, I went to the supermarket and bought some karaage (fried food), and I also got a 20% discount on ikaten (squid tempura).
It goes so well with this!
It's amazing!
I put them together in my mouth. It's so good!
The sake is the final secret ingredient! It seems to be the best seasoning.
On its own, this sake is rich and full-bodied.
It does not have a strong bite. If anything, it may be sweet.
Kozutsuru 300th anniversary limited edition sake.
This year marks the 300th anniversary of the founding of "Kozutsuru" brewery in Kozumi, Kami-cho, Hyogo Prefecture! This year, they are selling a number of 300th anniversary commemorative sake, and this is one of them.
This is one of them. It is a mild dry nigori sake with a very calm taste. It has a silky smooth mouthfeel without the bitterness characteristic of nigori. It is not too spicy and too easy to drink, which is dangerous.
Congratulations koge2 on your Kozutsuru 60 chekin 🎉🎊!
Next to Hyogo sake 600, one brand 60, 6 connections is good 😊This is a lot of lees to suggest: ❣️
After I opened the cap, the bottle opener blew out on its own with a "pop" sound a short while later? I thought, "No, it's not sparkling wine. I looked at it and saw that it was a ...... draft sake, but it had been kept at room temperature ...... since February until now... ...
Fortunately, it doesn't taste funny.
The well from which the brewing water is drawn is located in the same town of Kami where the brewery is located, about 8.9 km north of the brewery in Saigeiji, facing the sea where Kozumi Port is located, and even though it is only about 100 m away from the sea, the water is said to be soft without salt.
The brewery's name is Matsui Shuzo, which brews "Fuji Chitose" and "Kamizo" in Kyoto.
It is spicy on the palate, but as you roll it around, you will be able to taste ...... what a fruity taste it has! I said "fruity", but this flavor comes from grains. I could gobble it down, which is dangerous for me.
The liquid is a beautiful light honey color, and the legs are thick and long, with a little bit of thickness.

Kozutsuru also has a variety of
It has a light, smooth mouthfeel with umami and acidity.
The aftertaste is bitter and astringent.
It might be better if you wait a little longer.
Purchased from Asano Sake Shop SANNOMIYA
I was attracted to this sake because it is a limited-quantity product made with serpentine rock rice from Yabu City, but it has an elegant aroma and a clean mouthfeel with a depth and a faint smokiness that comes later.
I'm not sure about the difference in rice, but it's exquisitely delicious with cheese.
Slightly colored
Refreshing sweetness and mouthfeel
So refreshing that it is hard to believe it has been stored for a year
It goes down your throat with a sharp taste.
Gentle yet powerful
I like the taste of this wine.
100% Hyogo Kitanishiki
Kouzutsuru, a local sake from Tajima, bought on the way back from a business trip.
Hyogo Kitanishiki" sake rice from the Tajima area is said to have a heart white as large as Yamada Nishiki.
The aroma of lactobacillus fermentation of Yamahai is mild.
I tried it at room temperature and cold, and I personally prefer it cold!

The sharpness that I felt when I drank the sake by itself made it difficult to drink, but when I ate it with grilled fish and stir-fried meat and vegetables, the sharpness went well together, and both the sake and the food were even more delicious. It is a sake that is more like a food wine.
