Good evening, Bamboo Crane. Kikuhime is a nice sake with a lot of umami.
Please warm it up to human body temperature to increase the sweetness and umami, and serve it with teriyaki yellowtail.
The sake that was featured in the manga "Mimi Shinbo"?
There is a rumor that there is no better junmai sake than this one...?
I think the flavor is even more pronounced when the sake is heated up. I feel that the flavor is even more pronounced when the sake is heated.

Here's another one to compare 🤗
This sake is from the year 2008 and seems to be a home-aged sake of the liquor store, with "Aged Sake" on the back label 👀.
I wonder if it's a self seal 😆.
⚫︎ room temperature
It has a solid amber color 🟡.
It has a nice sharpness to it with a dark sweetness that is typical of aged sake, with a hint of sourness, making it easy to drink for a matured sake 😋.
⚫︎ warmed sake
The sense of maturity has weakened.
The sweetness has lessened and there is a slight hint of hackles.
Went perfectly with grilled pork skewers 🐷.
Camping.
Kikuhime is an old-fashioned, delicious, awesome sake.
It does not have the alcoholic smell that cheap sake tends to have, and the flavor of the sake comes through with a bang. Goes well with strong snacks. Delicious!
Kikuhime, Ishikawa's famous sake, has a rich, mellow taste that is not a sign of its richness and umakuchi. The umakuchi went perfectly with Kagoshima chicken dishes.
At a nearby bar,
At a sake party where you can compare more than 20 brands of sake.
I had had the same one before. It was mild and tasty with a hint of acidity.
