Sake My Life
I raised the light intensity of the photo too much. The aroma is the same as usual, a little fruity. You can also feel a beautiful alcohol taste. The taste is one word: "delicious. Despite its richness and fruity taste, the high alcohol content of 19 degrees Celsius is not felt that much. It is a very good example of the technical skill to maintain this level of richness while still being able to express a fruity taste. This is exactly what I want when I want a sweet, dark sake. The usual dullness of Funaguchi cans that you can see when you drink it? Or rather, the feeling of being told, "You can do it if you put your mind to it. I can do it! I often buy canned Funaguchi because I sometimes want the rich sweetness of the regular canned Funaguchi, but I honestly can't go back to the regular canned Funaguchi if I'm served this. According to the manager of the liquor store (Hasegawa-ya in Niigata) where I bought it, they can't buy it anymore. I know it will cost a lot of money to make this the standard, but I really hope they do it. I believe that Kikusui Brewery has the capital and technical capabilities to develop the modern sake often sold in Japan, but they must have grander ambitions, such as overseas expansion through an American corporation or a fermentation theme park. I often see Kikusui's higher-priced sake, but let's drink it.
This is probably the first time I have written this long, but I guess that is how much I personally liked and was surprised by the sake.
Please try it.
