We received another autograph!
This time it is Tetsuya Sakai of the Chiyo Sake Brewery.
This is my favorite Shinomine. I was watching the video all over the place (lol).
I can meet him in person!
I went to Asano Sake Shop in Umeda~!
The store was bustling from noon.
I found Mr. Sakai at the counter! He was talking with a customer.
He went to the cash register with two bottles of Kushira and Shinomine. I asked him to speak to me at that moment.
Mr. Sakai, can you sign my book?
He gladly wrote it for me!
I am so happy! I'm going to brag about it at work!
Thank you, Mr. Sakai!
And the next day, Sunday. We started with the Kushira.
It has a fruity aroma. When I put it in my mouth, I could feel a slight shwashiness. The first sip was sweet, but the next sip was refreshingly dry.
I think I will drink it until it runs out....
It was a very delicious sake!
Hello, Pekkaal 🐦.
Signature! Nice ✨I hope you like Nara sake, both Kaze no Mori and Okura are awesome 😳I'm sure the sake tastes even better when I meet you in person 😊👍.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I'm a Hiroshima Carp fan who loves my hometown, Nara, Hyogo. It's complicated, isn't it?
I started my sake swamp with "Kaze no Mori, Umenoyado, and Mimuro Sugi". From there, I've always been a Nara fan, and Nara is the only place I can win!
Kushira, Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, 80% polished rice nigori sake. I was afraid to open it because the label said to be careful of explosion, but nothing happened and I stirred it by myself.
Although it is a low-polished sake, it has a clean taste with no cloying flavors. The sweetness is moderate with a bitter dry aftertaste. It tastes like a rice cider, and you can't stop drinking it.
The aroma is grain-like and classic.
From the moment it enters the mouth, it has classic acidity, umami, and bitterness.
However, the aftertaste is quite light and not at all harsh.
The body is light, but the flavor has depth.
Modern or classic? Classic?
Exquisite balance.
Mild aroma.
The water has a very soft and soft texture.
Then, the taste of rice comes in with a bitter taste.
The aroma is like freshly cooked rice.
The nose is slightly fruity and astringent, like white grapes.
The citrus-like acidity quickly passes through, leaving a slightly dry taste.
Rounded, dry, umami and spicy.
Good with meals.
Maruyu
Taste 4/5
Purchased at a sake shop
Kushira, another brand of Shinomine, which is one of my favorite brands in Nara.
It's rare to find a place that carries it in Fukuoka...
I found myself on my 700th check-in.
I'm still drinking mainly sake I've never had before ✊.
Chilled a little.
Aroma is subdued
The aroma is modest, but the strength of the sake is strong.
It's not a sharp and powerful sake, but it has the maturity that only autumn sake can have.
It is classic but not that powerful.
Good morning, Eezy!
Congratulations on your 700th check-in 🎉.
It's nice to have a milestone saké from your favorite brewery 🎵.
Shinomine-san and Kushira-san are very interested ✨.
I hope you continue to enjoy the good sake life 😊.
Congratulations on your 700th check-in 🎊Congratulations on your 700th check-in 🎊It's great to have the number 1 or 2 favorite Nara sake 😊I also want to drink Kushira carefully 😋Please buy Shinomine and Kushira when you come back to Osaka 😆.
Hi Eezy 😃.
Congratulations on your 700 check in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉 Kushira-san 🐳‼️ is new to me but it's another brand of Shinomine-san 🤗 Kanji is too difficult to read 😅.
Hello, Nemuchi-san!
Thank you very much 😄I rarely see Shinomine-Kushira outside of Kansai area(?). I always buy it when I go back to my home country 😂.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
I didn't recognize it at first sight either 😂.
It's a sake made from Yamada Nishiki grown in-house in a district called Kushira in Nara 🍶 if you see it, please do!
Congratulations on your 700th check-in, Eezy! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm always learning about your favorite sake 😊👍I've never seen labels on sake, and I'm always learning about the different kinds of sake you drink 🙏.
I was at a liquor store 20-30 minutes away by bike and bought two different ones when I was going to buy another one 😵I noticed it at the register! I must be getting blurry 🤣.
I did get curious when I saw it at the liquor store..,
I bought a bottle of Kushira... which I've never had before.
Shinomine or some other sake from the Chiyo sake brewery.
The company's president, who used to make wine, started making sake with the same sense of grape growing (or not?). They use only Yamada-nishiki, which they grew themselves.
Slightly shwashy taste.
Slightly sweet and tasty? It also has a sourness.
Not a fruity sourness.
Not in a weird way, but a slightly unique taste? How can I describe it?
By the second day, the peculiarity faded, and it became more of a sweet/amami type with a bit of sourness?
It's supposed to be "not too tasty," but it was tasty enough 😋.
Good morning, Takashi 😃I often go to the liquor store and don't buy what I was going to buy, but something different 😅It's strange. I could relate to this very much 😆 "Aim for a drink that is not too tasty" resonated with me 🥰.
Thank you, HinaHanaMama 😊.
It's true, you don't realize it until you see the alcohol lined up in front of you to pay at the cash register! 🤣
I'm sure it was "fate"! I'm just going to keep on going 😙.
Yamada Nishiki.
The fullness of acidity and umami from around the perimeter to the mid-palate.
It has a slightly fresh feel and is released in a refreshing manner.
I arrived in Nara, my favorite city.
This is the izakaya where I first encountered sake.
First, I had "Kushira".
It was refreshing and delicious!
It was a very easy to drink sake~!
