<Sweet Al, hard, three times as hard. Sake made by removing only the water from junmai sake through a special membrane. The aroma is a gusto of alcohol! Sweetness! The mouthfeel is thick and suddenly hit hard by the sweet alcohol. The sweetness explodes, and the bitterness is also present. This bitterness seems to be derived from alcohol. At 30 degrees, it should be twice as much as regular sake. But both the sweetness and the alcohol taste are more than three times the normal level. Is it Shah, or just Zaku? Especially the alcohol feeling stings more than whiskey over 40 degrees. If you ask me if I like it, it's not a drink of that dimension. It was a crazy interesting experience, though. To use a Ghibli analogy, it's King Vu from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". He is the king of Tolmekia, who appears only in the manga version. In other words, he is Kushana's father. He is not very beautiful in appearance, and what he is doing is very cruel, and he is a tyrant no matter how you look at it. But, when I thought he was a foolish king, I was surprised to see him play a big role in the last half of the story. What's more, what he says is strangely philosophical and deep. Degree of liking: ★★★★ I will post the full version on my blog. If you like, please search for "Korune Sake" or visit us from the link in the profile column.

<White grapes with a smooth acidity and a slow umami taste. This sake is No.12, which is derived from the same yeast number as Shinmasa No.6. The aroma is of white grapes. It also has a slight alcohol taste. The mouthfeel is fruity with a smooth acidity. Then the umami comes in slowly. The acidity is gorgeous and the umami is firm. The acidity and the fragrance that is part of the acidity fill the mouth with a full-bodied aroma. The umami is firm, but the aftertaste is clean and beautiful. However, it has a clear alcoholic taste, so it is not recommended for those who are not accustomed to drinking it. If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Yuko from "Mimi wo Sumeba". She is the best friend of the main character, Shizuku, who likes Sugimura, a member of the baseball team, but is heartbroken. The sour-sweet of adolescence. Degree of liking: ★★★☆☆ The full version of the story, complete with character images, etc., will be posted on the blog. If you like, please search for "korune sake" or visit us from the link in the profile section.

<A rich, aged zugga gaga, but refreshing. This is the 5th Iwate special. The aroma is of matured acidity. The label on the back says, "Heisei 29th Sake Brewing Year Production (May 2, 2008)". Well, Heisei 30 is 2018. 5 years aged. The mouthfeel is mildly sweet and sour. But the moment the sake touches the air in the mouth, the sense of maturity is all at once zugga-ga-ga-ga. Lactic acidity and sweetness. In addition, the sense of alcohol is also zuban! Delicious! The sake is as perverted as one would expect. The acidity swells and swells. But strangely enough, it is not unpleasant at all. The aftertaste is rather refreshing, with only a little acidity and bitterness...is that too much to say? If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Dora from "Laputa: Castle in the Sky. A strong matured female air pirate. She has her own quirks. But she is surprisingly a good person and I like her in the end. Degree of liking: ★★★★ *I will post the full version on my blog, supplemented with character images, etc. If you like, please search for "korune sake" or visit us from the link in the profile section.
