This is the first commercially available Kako, Sansho 2023 Kako, released last year 🍶.
Kabashiko is a native rice that took the Hananoka Sake Brewery about three years to revive from seed hulls.
As the name suggests, it has a characteristic aroma.
It has a strong carbon dioxide bubble, which is called "brewer's foam" in the producing region.
The aroma is gorgeous and complex with restrained tones.
Impressive are the sweetly scented white peaches and white grapes.
Pear, melon, and yogurt whey are also present.
The rice aroma is aromatic, mingling with the sweet white peachiness.
The mouthfeel is soft and vigorous with fine gas.
A moderate sweetness with a pear-like sensation spreads with a transparent cream cheese sensation.
While the gaseous sensation quickly converges and disappears finely, a gentle and smooth acidity accompanies the sweetness.
The clear umami quickly disappears with a mature, bitter complexity.
The lingering aftertaste is pleasantly intoxicating, with a beautifully tightened bitterness and a return aroma like that of white peaches, which is typical of Kako.
It is delicious.
It has a deep flavor.
At the end, the sake becomes lightly nigorigo (lightly cloudy) due to the tailings that have accumulated at the bottom of the bottle!
The flavor and taste is as if you are eating a fragrant child.
This final reward is also the best!
The word "delicious" is not enough, we would like to continue to enjoy the world that only Sansho can express.

Hi Muro 😃
Sorry, I just wanted to arrange the three colors in a squadron-like fashion, and the only one I drank this time was Kako 🙇.
I heard that there is also Kako Gounou brew this season, so you still have a chance!
I hope you will try Kako's sake: ☺️

Hi HIRO 😃
Personally, I thought it would look like a squadron when all 3 colors are together! I think the different rice in the future will be yellow and pink 😁.
Sumiyoshi Sake Sales in Hakata seems to have a large supply of producing rice with the competition from all over the country, so I wish you a good luck!

Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
Aside from the review, the sake was real delicious: ☺️
If you like Kako the most, it's hard to find a better supply than Yamadanishiki or Hozu 😁.
I keep mine in ice temperature, but I think it can be aged for a few years and still be totally good 🍶.

Good evening, Maru 😃.
We had eho-maki and eho-drinking on Setsubun 👹.
I cut up the sushi rolls so they may not be ehoumaki at all 😅.
I usually drink alcohol by itself, but it's still intoxicating to drink it with food: ☺️
