I got this from a CAD op.
Valentine's Day 🙌
It's an old wine...
Brown liquor 🍶 and 😵...
Well...
I don't drink old sake very often...
It's a strange sensation...
I wonder if it tastes like caramel...
It was delicious!
Thank you so much!
- I had been somewhat reluctant to buy Yamahai brewed sake, but I bought it based on word of mouth.
The sweetness, sourness and bitterness are exquisite, and it is even richer! Very tasty. ‼︎
Comparison of 2023 and 2024 drinks 😊.
First, 2023.
Delicious 🐴🐴. It's always a rich, mellow, umami taste 🥰. The aftertaste after swallowing is the best. It has a heavy taste, but I never get tired of it. Yes, a winner! LOL!
Next, 2024 Nama Sake.
Mmmmmm 🐏🐏. This one is also very rich! But since it is a nama-shu, there is a faint gaseous feeling and it is very refreshing. It leaves a nice lingering aftertaste. This one is also a winner! LOL!
It is hard to say which is better. LOL!
Brewed by Kikuhime Limited Partnership in Hakusan, Ishikawa
Kikuhime Tsurunozato Nama-nazake
Yamahai Junmai Limited Edition
This is Kikuhime Tsurunosato Nama-no-Mai Limited Sake,
This is a Kikuhime limited distribution sake brewed in February 2025.
(The color of the label is different😆). (The label color is different😆).
It has an overwhelmingly rich, three-dimensional flavor with a lot of volume, as it claims to be a "rich, mellow, umakuchi" sake 😆.
It also has a fresh banana aroma 🟡.
It is a high rich sake 😆.
About 880 yen @ Alpra
Slightly sweet taste
Delicious, but still not the same quality as Kikuhime's Daiginjo.
However, it tastes great!
This deliciousness is totally possible at this price!

Kikuhime was purchased on a trip to Ishikawa.
It is full of flavor and tastes much better with a gradual change from cold sake to room temperature, or even after opening the bottle. I feel that the sweetness increases at room temperature.
It goes well with everything, from sashimi to simmered dishes.
If I visit Ishikawa again, I would like to buy this bottle.

日本酒の低温熟成に取り組む事業を掘り下げるため、前回は、千葉県千葉市の酒販店「IMADEYA」による「IMADEYA AGING」についてインタビューをお届けしました。そうした新たな動きの傍ら、低温による熟成に先行して取り組んでいる日本酒蔵も少なくありません。その中でも、1995年から長期低温熟成酒を商品化し、巨大な低温熟成庫を用意して、10万本余りのお酒を貯蔵しているのが菊姫（石川県白山市）です。低温貯蔵と常温貯蔵の両輪で日本酒の熟成の魅力をアピールし続ける菊姫の現状を探るため、現地を訪れました。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア
