てふ純米大吟醸

Kab
Kunigon was undrinkable, perhaps because it is always available. From cold sake, close to room temperature. It has a rather sweet rummy aroma. When you drink it, there is some minerality and green apple honey-like sweetness, but the fruitiness gradually recedes and becomes sugary, and the bitterness starts to kick in with the alcohol feeling. It is a pure Dai, so there is not much expansion of umami, and it is more about sweetness and perfection. The bitterness is less pronounced when cold, and it seems that it would be better to cool it down. It is priced at just 2,000 yen without tax, but the level of perfection is quite high, which is a nod to the fact that it has the same level of specifications as the sake on display. It is a cosy brand with some typical Fukushima sake characteristics.
