Tangy whey flavor. A little tingling effervescence while sipping but no bubbles in the Choko.
Secondary flavor is a little bitter, in a good way.
Finish is a bit alcohol heavy, but this mellows out with the second or third choko.
Pretty good with まぐろ叩き丼 but really good with バームクーヘン with whipped cream and strawberries.

Inherently A little sweet, so it pairs well with savory foods like Parmesan cheese and peppery roast pork.
Not as good with sweet things like chocolate or 栗金時.
(Maybe the sweetness is 蛇足.
Ha ha, Happy new year!)
Hmm I think I’m not going to make it another three hours until midnight.

Reminds me of Sherry but even better!
Dominated the flavor of 帆立刺身
Possibly too strong for マグロ、シャケ
あん肝 味付け玉といくら paired better with this full flavored sake.
Definitely approach this sake like a Sherry or Port.
Chrisbrz
With dessert, it was an acceptable match with まんじゅう(アーモンド、 栗、 梅)
Almond brought out some bitterness
Chrisbrz
Chestnut was neutral
Ume also brought out some bitterness

This Koshu might be “best” on-the-rocks but that somehow seems もうたいない

We didn’t finish the bottle the other day, we are trying it with not-so-spicy Thai curry
Chrisbrz
The curry really brings out Sherry flavors from this Koshu. Both are evenly matched neither dominant
Chrisbrz
Salad with sesame dressing brought out a rich caramel flavor.
Chrisbrz
The Koshu brought out some nutty flavors from the salad’s sesame and beans
Chrisbrz
Very interesting!
I’m really glad to have the opportunity to drink this Koshu.

Slightly effervescent.
Faint greenish hue
Overall The flavor is delicious. We love Kuheiji, so we are biased.
The initial flavor had a sudden Koji / yeasty flavor but the flavor mellowed in subsequent sips with a lip-smacking umami richness.
This Kuheiji develops some citrus flavors as it approached room temperature

The first sip reminds one of a mild fruitiness like banana or melon. The sweetness of koji goes well with white rice. Sushi, onigiri, chazuke (rice with green tea), etc. would be good.
Thick mouth feel, really sticks to your teeth & tongue
Flavor is like melon or unripe banana.
Rather sweet as we approach the bottom of the bottle.
Goes well with fresh peach slices and Nagano Purple grapes.

It has been a long time since I have had this sake, but it is as stable as if I had returned to my old home. It goes well with cream cheese with bonito flakes on it.
Dry, with crisp tangy grassy finish and a bit of an alcohol flavored punch.
Good pairing with sashimi
Too strong for anago tempura, maybe not well suited for the batter
Pretty good with "oyster Yuba ponzu jelly" Oyster Yuba ponzu jelly
