I visit the Kyoto store often, but this is my first time at the Umeda store.
Kikuhime after a long time
At room temperature
Pale topaz color
Aroma of austere woody aroma and lactic acid like sour cream.
The deep umami is followed by the unique sourness and richness of Yamahai.
It has a long aftertaste.
It becomes fuller and sharper when heated.
From September 28 to 30, the owner of my favorite yakitori restaurant, his staff, my wife and I went to Korea!
It was our first visit to Korea, and it was hard work, but we had a great time eating and playing casino for the first and last time in our lives. I had a great time at the casino for the first and last time in my life!
We stayed at a hotel near Kansai International Airport for an early flight, and had a dinner at the first Kura for the first time on Saturday!
Kikuhime by Kikuhime Limited Partnership!
This time it was a junmai sake brewed in Yamahai style!
Let's start with the sake!
First, the aroma. The aroma is refreshing, but it smells like old-fashioned sake.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the traditional sake-like taste, and then you will feel the fruity taste with a hint of sweetness.
From there, it has a lingering aftertaste with a complex flavor like richness.
It is easy to drink and very delicious!
The third picture is a dinosaur that greeted us at a strange hotel near Kansai Airport!
Hi, ma-ki-san 😌.
I've only had hiyaoroshi Kikuhime, but the yamahai looks delicious 😋.

Kikuhime, I had a drink about 10 years ago and I have the impression that the heated sake was delicious 👀.

You drank hiyaoroshi, didn't you?
Yes, it was a bit dry at first, but it was a very tasty sake. I thought it was dry, but it was a delicious sake 🤗.
Dinosaurs can talk 😁✨✨✨
Thank you, Cheesta!
It was my first time to try cajun, but the sauce was so good I was screaming for sake 😁✨✨!

Kikuhime's nigori also looks delicious ⤴️
This was a great sake that went well with the meal too 😋!
Thank you, Mr. Muro!
I can't thank the owner and the staff of the yakitori restaurant enough ✨.
The food tour was a lot of fun too 🎵
I'm curious about the dinosaur in the weird hotel 😁.
Thank you Nao888!
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be traveling with the generals, so I think it's great for me 😲.
In Korea, I was screaming while eating that I wanted to drink sake 😁.
I want to drink nigori!
Thank you very much, Bosuke!
I too am amazed at how great it is to travel with the store owners 😲.
This time we ate every 2 to 3 hours 😁.
I'm sure you'll have a hard time finding a good variety of sake in Ishikawa Prefecture 🤗.
Thank you, ichiro18!

Thank you, Jive!
It was a gratifying trip to Korea bombing that was made possible by the personality of the owner and staff of my favorite yakitori restaurant: ✈️
I never knew about the strange hotels before, but they are actually breeding all over the country 🤣.
Thank you Kano!
The trip to Korea bombing food was great ⤴️
I know - it's hard to travel when you have a family 💦.
I had a sake before I left because I knew I wouldn't be able to drink sake for 2 days 😋.
Thank you, Yuki!
I went to Korea for the first time ~ ✈️
This trip was a culinary explosion, with meals every 2 to 3 hours, guided by the owner and waitstaff, but everything was delicious 🤤.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃!
Traveling to Korea 🇰🇷 with your favorite restaurant! What a great relationship 🥹I might want to go to the casino 🎰 dreaming of winning a bomb 😆.
Thank you Jay & Nobby!
I never thought I'd see the day I'd get to travel with the generals too🎵
It's all about the generals' personalities🍀.
The casino was fun 💰️
You should definitely go there 😁✨✨!
Sake-like sweet aroma
Liquid color is light yellowish.
It does not have a strong smell of alcohol.
Slight sweetness in the mouth with a bitter aftertaste.
Sourness is just a little while drinking.
The taste is light, but it has a strong flavor.
It has a sharp aftertaste and disappears quickly.
Taste is in the lineage of what I like as a food sake.
Serve with sushi.
It has a strong flavor and goes well with sushi.
☀️
It is hokuhoku with sweetness, umami and ginjo aroma. ☺️
The sake is mellow, but each piece is well-made and carefully crafted 🤗.
Even though it is mellow, it went perfectly with sushi 👌.
This is indeed Ishikawa sake 🍶😊.
