Overall 9 (out of 10)
I visited Kakuguchi Sake Brewery in May and made a purchase!
The lady of the house showed me pictures and told me a lot about the brewery, and I couldn't help but buy it!
The sixth generation of the Kadokuchi Sake Brewery is one of the "59 breweries", a unit of five sake brewery heirs born in 1984 in Nagano Prefecture, who brew sake under a common rule every year.

The rule for 2023 is "Kinmon-Nishiki + 59% polished rice ratio".
Delicious 😋.
It has a strong umami of rice, with a slight bitterness and astringency to bring out the messy taste of the rice without spoiling the umami 👍.
I served it chilled.
The aroma I felt was
-Aroma: Aroma of rice 👍
-The aroma of rice and a little bit of a tangy taste in the nose.
Taste sensation
The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum)
-Spiciness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Sweetness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste
-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste
-Bitterness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1
-Rice flavor: 5 at the beginning → 4 in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel I felt】→3
Smaller number = smooth Larger number = thicker and richer
(5 is the maximum)

ぺっほ
It's like a dream come true that several local breweries have sons and daughters born in the same year, and that they are taking on the challenge of creating a unit of like-minded people ✨We can only support these young people who will create the next generation in Japan 🥂‼️

As a show of support, I bought a total of five bottles of 59 brew 2024, one for each of the five breweries😅.
I'm looking forward to comparing them!

Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
Well, that was a really good story 🥺.
I'm sure they will get along well and have friendly competition and I'm looking forward to seeing literally five different kinds of superb sake in the future 😊.
