Chokki
Kiku-Masamune Sesession
12-13% brewing alcohol 900ml 810yen
Thick, plum-like fruitiness and super mellow sweetness. White malted rice, brewing acidity like wine yeast, but this is CRU2 yeast, Kikumasamune's proprietary yeast. It's like a cheap sake coated with umami ingredients?
I will have to give this to my friends at Kinsho-kai.
I served it blind to the four fierce drinkers.
Three of them said, "This is good! It's a good sake! This is the latest fad, isn't it?" They were fooled, but "Sake Hitman" Mr. F said, "Hmmm? Something doesn't feel right," he said, his eyes shining.
Hitman and I gave it a slightly lower rating, but the others gave it a higher score, so it was ranked 4th out of 15. It easily ranked high among the famous sake brands. It left a mark like Gekkeikan's Katsuki.
However, the sake quality is as good as the price. It is a sake that tests one's ability to discern the truth.
