Ingredient rice: Naturally grown Koshihikari rice Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 16 Sake degree +0.2 This sake is made from Koshihikari rice grown in no-till cultivation, where the rice is grown in a natural state without tilling the fields. I had tried Tsunan Brewery's Koshihikari sake (GO GRANDCLASS Uonuma Koshihikari Edition) and really liked it, so when I was on a trip to Niigata, I happened to find a Koshihikari sake made by Kitayuki at a liquor store on Sado Island, which I really liked. I was so intrigued that I delivered it to my home without even tasting it. The first sip of the cold sake was unexpectedly sweet, and my first impression was that it was my favorite type of rice. I would exaggerate to say that it was as if there was honey in it. (Of course, it is not that sweet.) It is not only sweet, but also has a complex flavor, sourness, and bitterness. However, it is dry, or rather, it has a strong mineral taste, and it runs away very quickly. My palate is not that sensitive, so I can't really describe it in words. If you want to taste it carefully, it would be better to drink it warmed.
