This is "KURABITO from KOKUZEI" from Kikumori Sake Brewery in Kitakami City, Iwate Prefecture. Please forgive the scratches on the label🙇. Kikumori is a brewery that makes pure rice sake from 100% Iwate rice. They are famous for "Taxi Driver" and although their sake looks sharp, it is very serious inside 🤣. This man, whose eyes are looking at you from a very different angle, is Mr. Tadatsu, a brewer at Shirasugi Brewery in Kyoto! This is a collaboration label created by the 5th generation of Kikumori and Mr. Tadatsu's enthusiasm and groove 😎. The name of the brand comes from Mr. Tadatsu's career as a former IRS official turned brewer at Shirasugi Shuzo 😳. The appearance is a mist white color with a bit of unmelted residues mixed in with the cloudy color. When the bottle was first opened, it had a strong gas feeling 🫧. The aroma is refreshing with a sour koji aroma and a refreshing alcohol release! When you sip it, you first feel the mellow and firm umami of rice, and then the clean acidity spreads quickly, with a slight soft sweetness and a short aftertaste of pulling away with the acidity at the end. On the day the bottle is opened, it has a more refreshing mouthfeel with a stronger gaseous sensation. It is a Han sake that is tight without being dull, leaving an astringent taste on the tongue! It was a real nigori sake, which you can't imagine from the jokey label (I mean it as a compliment 🤣)! Thank you for the treat 🍶.

Good evening, Aladdin. You can see his face from the misaligned eyes 🤣I didn't expect this Shirokikyu collaboration 😳There is also a label for the president of Okuhiroya, so please check Okuhiroya's instagram too 🤣.

bouken-san, good evening 😄I heard from Mr. Tadatsu himself, but his point of view is not correct at his request 😅The collaboration label development of Kikumori's "Viktor-nage to Kneecross-kata-gatame" is called "Viktor business" 🤣.
