Ichinomiya Shrine & Local Sake Tour Vol. 34
Higonokuni Ichinomiya Shrine
From now on, I will be posting only about shrines.
We also went to Aso! It was summer, so it was perfect for a drive 🚗.
The Aso shrine was severely damaged by the earthquake once, but it was rebuilt and the colors of the cypress trees were beautiful ✨.
The Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine also had a great atmosphere!
I really wanted to buy some flower incense, but I bought too much in Saga, so this time I went with a substitute sundo 😭.
A bit pricey, but still juicy and easy to drink ✌
I think it's more refreshing than the last time I drank it...? Anyway, it's still easy to drink.
I'll be back next time I'm in Kyushu 🔥.
Thank you very much for your hospitality 🙏🙏.
Today I wanted to let it sleep a little longer, but my sake cellar is already full 😅, so I'm going to enjoy this one 🎶🍶 which seems to be a kijoshu, so I'm really looking forward to it 🤤The color is a little yellowish ❔🤔.
Let's start with the aroma 🎶✨️mmm💕It smells sweet, sour and fruity like a lychee 🎶✨️🎶.
When you put it in your mouth, you first feel a shuwa shuwa 😋, then sourness, then sweetness, and finally a little bitterness to finish. It would be a shame if you don't taste it 😆🍶🍶.
Nama sake ✨Rice produced in the Kikuchi River basin in Kumamoto Prefecture🌾.
On the way back from Kururi Line, at IMADEYA corner bar in Chiba station 🍶.
Kirakkoto ✨Sweet and sour white wine type. My wife says it smells like seme with a strong alcohol content.
What is Go-No-Brewery? I looked it up and found out that it means rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin, sake brewed using the "nama-hashi" method, cultivated without pesticides or fertilizers, and brewed in wooden vats 🧐.

The menu is as follows.
Discreet aroma of green apple and muscat fruits, with a hint of vanilla. The wine has a freshness from the dissolved gas, but the taste is viscous and concentrated, and the lingering aftertaste is superb, making it a slightly dry style.
It is light and delicate, with a gentle sweetness like that of grated apple.
The more you drink, the more your heart will be relaxed, and this is a bottle that is "too good to be true.

Ingredients : Kako, Polishing ratio : undisclosed, Basic Agricultural Regulations : Rice grown in the Kikuchi River basin / No pesticides / No fertilizers / Kimoto / Wooden vat, Alcohol content : 13%.
The native "Higo Kako" rice, which took three years to revive, has a high aroma of rice, as its name suggests, and when steamed, the noble aroma wafts into the neighborhood. This is truly a one-of-a-kind sake, with the characteristic of rice aroma rather than yeast-derived aroma producing a lingering flavor that makes you want to pursue food pairings that have never been possible before.
Basically, fresh and juicy.
Delicious. The greenish smell typical of nama-shu and the languidness of the convergence are disappointing.
After harvesting Hitogokochi rice in Shinshu Sanada, Tozawa area, we had a sake party at Tozawa community center 😅.
The lineup of the fierce people who brought their own sake was amazing 😁 This is really not earth 😅.
I want to go to Kumamoto and Kurokawa Onsen again 😌.
We received this from someone from Fukuoka.
It is a very hard to find sake in Fukushima, so I kept it in the fridge for a while ✨.
This bottle is brewed with Yamadanishiki from the town of Wasui, which has its own philosophy based on the ancient Japanese word "sansuchi," which means "land of birth" or "god of the land.
The moment you drink it, you will be struck by the aroma of green apple and muscat fruits, rice powder-like grains, and yogurt-like aroma. The sweetness of the Yamadanishiki is fully extracted, yet the slightly elevated gasiness is in perfect harmony with the fresh and light flavor.
