I had a chance to stop by Kinoshita Shuzo, so I bought it on impulse. (Even though I just bought Junmai Ginjo (Celebration) at a mass retailer the other day...) It's a limited edition in the brewery. I'm weak to "limited". It's also unfair that the production number is stamped on it! The weather was fine and warm, and the signboard cat was out of bed.
The rice polishing ratio is 60%, and the alcohol content is more than 20 degrees and less than 21 degrees.
<Cold sake...
It's delicious. The elements do not stand out too much, but come together in a cohesive and powerful way.
Fruity. I think I understand the description of sake as "melon like".
When you put it on your tongue, you can feel the foam. The cork is tighter than usual.
Naturally, it's dark because it's undiluted sake. Easy to drink, but dangerous!
I tried it with cheese and it was good. I want to learn how to pair it properly.
I think it would be better to use "Junmai" to give it a more premium feel, or to tickle the maniacs' fancy, but this sake is made as an aluzoe honjozo because they are serious about the taste.
If you know more about it, please let me know.
(I love Honjozo)

It's easy to drink on the rocks, and it goes down easy.
