Chokki
Kuromatsu Kenrishi Special
17% brewed alcohol 1.8 liters 2816 yen
This is a standard sake often seen in supermarkets and purchased as a return to its origins.
It has a yellowish color because it is not filtered very much. It has a unique flavor, with a rich, umami-kuchi taste and a slightly caramelized sweetness.
It is good at room temperature or warmed.
I can understand why some people don't like Kenrishige. It's a bit sticky and cloying.
I try to drink my old favorite sake on a regular basis. My taste buds may change with age, or the quality of sake may change.
