Koshitanrei is a cross between Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku rice.
My preference is for Gohyakumangoku, but I like both, so I was surprised to find a sake made with such an innovative rice!
I was so excited to be able to buy a bottle of this sake!
Juicy melon, peach and papaya aroma 🥹.
The taste of rice is mild on the palate, but it is instantly broken by the acidity and bitterness. The aftertaste is refreshing and clean!
I hear that Niigata's sake is often light, but I didn't know that was the case! I thought so!
It is aromatic, yet light and refreshing.
It is different from the local sake from Fukui Prefecture and tastes great 😋😋😋😋😋😋.
