Kyokuho純米酒こしひかり 無濾過生原酒
けいけい
I bought this sake, though not in celebration, because it had won the highest gold medal at the Delicious Sake in a Wine Glass Awards.
I was looking forward to seeing what kind of sake it would be, as it is a junmai spec sake brewed with koshihikari rice. Immediately after opening the bottle, which was thoroughly chilled, I was impressed by how clear the flavor could be without relying on acidity or gassiness, even in junmai sake🥺 It was not too sweet or too umami, and I liked the balance of the flavor.
After the second day, the spiciness and alcohol strength came to the forefront a bit, and I was not as impressed as I was on the first day.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.
Sake brewed with food rice makes me nervous about the future of sake brewed with food rice, considering the price increase of white rice.
