Kihoturu紬（TSUGUMI）-2024 参-

Saga Prefecture, Miyagi County. Motoyama Shoten Limited Partnership.
TSUGUMI-2024
Purchased at Takashimaya Sake Festival. Today is Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day, so I opened a bottle of Saga sake from my father-in-law's hometown.
We will drink it cold.
When I pour it into the glass, there is a little foam on it.
The color is clear and slightly yellow.
The top aroma is mild, but slightly green apple-like.
The mouthfeel is slightly gassy.
The taste is well-balanced with an exquisite soft acidity and a slight bitterness, and it tastes like green apples.
As the temperature rises, a mild sweetness emerges, with a slight spiciness that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
Low in alcohol and with little sake flavor, this is a modern Kihotsuru.
The label is designed to look like a Shinsei Private Lab, but I think they said they put each label on by hand.
My father-in-law's comment after drinking it was, "Isn't this better than Nabeshima?" 😁.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki, a non-standard variety
Polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice, 85% for kake rice
Alcohol content: 13%.

Good evening, Nemuchi-san.
A pint with your father-in-law on Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day sounds wonderful ✨.
I've never seen this sake before, but I'm intrigued by your review that it's better than Nabe's 😊.
It was a good drinking time 🍶.

Hi Nemuchi 😊
I wish I could have gone to the Takashimaya event too 😂.
I drank the 2023 Tsumugi from Kifeng Tsuru, and I remember it was delicious.
The 2024 San also sounds delicious!
Your father-in-law's words make me think more so😍.
