Timeline
まつちよThe first saké I had last time was a clear saké of Yumeginko from Bishu Kotobuki with No.7 yeast.
It is a draft sake, but it was stored at room temperature at the store, so we served it as it was.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of banana and ripe melon.
In the mouth, the sweetness and umami are again like banana and ripe melon.
The flavor profile is even clearer than last time, sweet and delicious 🥰.
I think this sake tastes better if you let it sit for a bit after opening.
It was delicious 🍶✨ まつちよBishu Kotobuki: Yume-Ginko with kura-associated yeast.
This time it was a clear sake, as I had drunk the ogara-mi last time.
I had the first sip.
First, it was served at room temperature.
The first aroma is faintly sweet.
In the mouth, it has a slightly ripe banana-like sweetness and umami.
Next, warm it up.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of alcohol.
On the palate, it has a sweetness and umami that is slightly like ripe bananas and ripe melon.
I think the flavor profile comes out more clearly when it is warmed up.
It was freshly opened, so I will make a final judgment after drinking it again at a later date, but this time, the sweetness was better when heated. まつちよKame no O🐢 from Bishu Kotobuki.
I drank the ogara-mi last time, but this time it was a clear sake.
I had the first sip.
First, it was served at room temperature.
The initial aroma was faintly sweet.
In the mouth, there is a mild acidity with a slight melon-like sweetness and umami.
Then warmed.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth, it is dry, perhaps too dry due to the fact that the temperature was raised.
It is a bit flabby.
I think it tastes better at room temperature.
It was freshly opened, so I will make a final judgment after drinking it again later, but this time it tasted better at room temperature because of the sweetness. まつちよFinally, we had a bottle of Yumeginko +7 Sumi-shu.
This was also freshly opened.
First, it was served at room temperature.
The first aroma is faintly sweet.
In the mouth, there is a moderate acidity with a hint of sweetness and umami like banana or ripe melon.
The flavor profile is clear, probably due to the lack of orikura.
Then warmed up.
The first aroma is faintly sweet.
In the mouth, it has a sweetness and umami like banana and ripe melon.
The moderate acidity adds a nice accent.
Both cold and warmed sake were delicious.
I think this was also the best of the three.
They have 2 types of Sumi-shu and 1 type of Oragara-mi that I haven't tried yet, so I have to go drink them 😋. まつちよNext is Bishu Kotobuki's Kame-no-o + No. 7 Orikarami.
This was also freshly opened.
First, it was served cold.
The first aroma is faintly sweet.
In the mouth, there is a slight acidity, umami, and sweetness.
It gradually finishes with a slight astringency that is typical of Kame-no-o.
Next, it was served warm.
The first aroma is faintly sweet.
In the mouth, it has a slightly robust umami and sweetness.
The taste is slightly astringent, which is typical of Kame-no-o, and it gradually fades away.
It tastes better when heated up too. 
まつちよI have never had Kikutaka, but I heard that Bishuju was made as a successor to Kikutaka at the request of a certain liquor store.
There are three kinds of sake,
Yumeginko +7
Kame-no-o +7
Kame-no-o +7, Yume-Ginko +14 in-house cultivated yeast
Each type of sake has its own unique characteristics.
The in-house cultivated yeast is said to be No. 14 plus the brewery's own No. 7 yeast.
This is the first time for Bishu Kotobuki.
I had a freshly opened orikarami of Yumeginko + in-house cultivated yeast.
First, it was served cold.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
On the palate, it has a slightly sweet and umami taste with a hint of banana and ripe melon.
Next, warmed sake.
The top aroma is sweet with a hint of alcohol.
In the mouth, sweetness and umami like banana and ripe melon.
The slight acidity adds a nice accent.
When heated, the sweet and umami flavors open up and become quite sweet and delicious.
I wonder if it will grow more since it was just opened 🤔.
I will have to go back to drink it again.
It was quite delicious 🍶✨ boukenGood evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo😃
I've never had Kikutaka either, so I'm curious about this one, but like Kikutaka, they only sell one bottle, so it's a bit of a hurdle 💦. まつちよGood evening bouken🍶.
That's right!
That's why I went drinking 😆.
They only had one bottle of Kikutaka too 🤔. まつちよBy the way, it looks like Bishu Kotobuki will be at the Sake no Omune event in Kobe this weekend.
I'm jealous of Sanko, Kaijin, Raku no Se, Okura, etc. 😄. boukenI thought it was great that a private liquor store could host an event of this scale 😁.
Omune is a fun place with a treasure trove of weird sake 😊The owner is also very unique 😆 I'll try my best to buy some Bishuju 🤔. まつちよYes, it is true.
Is there an event store involved 🤔?
Can you buy alcohol directly at the venue? boukenCan't be sure, but it doesn't say it's available for purchase, so it sounds like it's only food and drink at the venue 🤔. きれじろうSake recommended for hot sake きれじろうPairing with food at a restaurant specializing in hot sake RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
