Kusugikuしぼりたて特別純米 特別限定品 樋の口酒
くま吉
Purchased at a liquor store near Kokura station that was recommended in a previous comment.
The clerk recommended a special limited edition from a brewery that makes a sake called Kyusyu Kiku.
(Just after opening the package)
Drink cold
Slightly yellowish and cloudy.
Slightly sweet, with a sweet sake-like aroma.
In the mouth, there is a strong rice flavor and a juicy acidity that quickly disappears.
Later on, a strong dryness appears, accompanied by a kind of sizzling astringency.
The aftertaste is short, and the aforementioned astringency remains slightly in the mouth.
The astringent taste is quite refreshing in the mouth, so it goes well with salted squid, which has a strong taste, because the taste is not overpowered by the snacks at all.
(5 days after opening)
The astringency and dryness weaken, and as a result, the flavor of the rice can be felt more, resulting in a different taste than on the first day.
Personally, I prefer this one.

Good morning, Kumakichi 😊.
I see you went to the sake shop at Kokura station.
I know they are run by a family member of a sake brewer, so all they have is Kyushu Kiku, right?
Hinokuchi sake is a dry sake and good as a food sake 😆.

Good evening, Tsutsumitate 😊.
So they had a wide variety of sake from the same brewery, including the Zanshin you recommended earlier, that makes sense 🙄 I'd like to buy some Zanshin next time 🤤.
Now I want to buy some Zanshin too 🤤.
