Here is the eighth bottle to close the Ponshu club meeting. Kurogyu, which we drank at New Year's, is very heavy. It has a lot of volume. The umami flavor wraps around the tongue. The alcohol content is 18 to 19 degrees, and the rice polishing ratio is 50% for koji rice and 60% for kake rice.
The 6th bottle of Ponshu club. The second bottle is dry but has umami flavor. This one has more acidity. Enjoyed with potato salad with boiled egg. Alcohol 15%, Polishing ratio 50%.
This is the fifth bottle of Ponshu club. Recommended as a dry but tasty sake. This is delicious. The balance between the sharpness and the umami of the rice is great. Best with Kampachi no Namero.

The fourth bottle of Ponshu club is a limited edition. The beckoning cat label is cute. In addition to the freshness of junmai ginjo, you can taste the flavor of rice. Serve with ume crystal. 100% Omachi, 15% alcohol by volume, 56% rice polishing ratio
