I had Kurehaaru for the first time in decades.
I was reminded of the time 40 years ago when there was a bar in Umeda that was directly owned and operated by the company.
While it has an authentic taste, it is also a little light and flavorful, making it perfect for a mealtime drink. It is even better if you drink it warm.
I received this sake at a Japanese restaurant that I sometimes visit.
They challenged the 6th, 7th, and 8th generations of Kuroryu to make sake.
All of them were straight sake with absolutely no cloying taste.
My preference was for the 6th generation sake, which was neat and dry, just like the Showa period (?). I think my preference would be the 6th generation sake, which is neat and dry, just like the Showa era.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to taste such sake.
I bought a 2 year old Manju, but it had developed a hiney aroma.
It must have been poorly stored.
It was a pity, but when I heated it up, I didn't mind so much.
I got a new bottle (2023.11) that is a bit old.
Hmmm. It still has a hint of hiney aroma, but it's not good enough.
I guess it would be better if it were warmed up.
Kangiku Meikozo only makes this sake once a year.
It has an outstanding taste. The Kangiku that we usually drink is also very good, but this is something else.
If it were Jyushiyo, the price would be over 10,000 yen. It is an amazing sake.
My favorite new sake from Electric Light was on tap and I bought it immediately.
Pear aroma and taste.
Combined with the gassy feeling, it is the best.
