I went to Koike Sake Brewery in Hoshigaoka to look for Aouda Honjozo by Kitaya, but I could not find it, so I gave up.
Instead, I went looking for a sake I had never tried before and chose Kuroryu Ichikyorai Jungin, a standard sake brewed by the Kuroryu Sake Brewery in Fukui.
I heard that it will be renamed from Kuroryu Jungin in April 2025.
The rice used is Gohyakumangoku from Fukui Prefecture.
Rice polishing ratio is 55
The alcohol content is 15.5 degrees.
Sake degree is +3.5
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is discreet, with a hint of orange peel and coconut.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a pale yellow-green color and smooth texture.
The first sip has a smooth, clear mouthfeel. A slight acidity spreads in the mouth, along with a soft and deep umami flavor. While giving a sense of aromatic fermentation, a slight bitterness tightens the taste. The aftertaste is smooth and clean.
The taste is very much to my liking, and I find myself pouring sake after sake. It seems to be excellent as a food sake.
It is of course delicious chilled, but it is also very tempting to try heating it up.
