Hosetsu purchased this year without fail: ❗️
Our family's favorite winter sake😊.
Now it's time to open the bottle❗️
Allegedly ‼️ not very healthy 🤔.
I was expecting the usual gassy feeling.
It's calm 🥲.
It's sweet, but soon it's bitter.
It's the type of beer that gets a kick out of bitterness. ❗️
Definitely tasty though.
It doesn't have the pizzazz like some of the others that have posted 🥲.
It's not as fresh as some of the others. ❗️
I've been keeping it well in the cellar.
I'm a little disappointed 😢.
I was going to buy another bottle because it's absolutely delicious.
I was going to buy another bottle because it's absolutely delicious, but this year I'm not going to. ❗️
Well, the fact that it doesn't taste exactly the same every year is one of the charms of sake.
I'm sure it's the charm of Sake 😅.
Sake that I drink for the first time continues.
Kame no Kai, Hosoyuki.
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake.
¥1,760-.
The aroma was impressive, the balance of sweetness and moderate acidity was wonderful, and the gasiness was just the way we like it.
This is another sake we would like to have on hand.
The other day the sake from Nagano was a little too high level for our couple to understand, so we went for something a little more common lol!
We found it at a liquor store😊.
Nice price too.
Fruity aroma, thick sweetness. Chilli a bit gassy. Alcohol through the nose is also fruity😊.
If you ask me if it's apple, it's a bit more sweet. If you ask me if it's melon, it's a bit more sour. It seems to be my mom's favorite flavor 😌.
Anyway, Nagano ✖︎ Hitokochi, still the best ❗️
On the second day, the cork popped and the bottle was opened.
It's even richer and better⭕️
First visit to CHUIN-san this year.
The third sake is Sasameyuki (fine snow) from Kame no Umi.
I first tried it at chuin last year and liked it a lot.
I had planned to buy it this year, but due to storage space issues this time of year, I was unable to do so after all.
I had the last of the bottom of the bottle that was just barely left.
Perhaps because of the time that has passed since the bottle was opened, the aroma is mild and rather rich of rice.
The taste is refreshingly sweet with a sudsy feel.
Sourness with a hint of stimulation.
The clear umami has a slight bitterness, and it finishes smoothly and comfortably.
Yes, after all, Kame no Umi is intoxicating.
Hosoyuki is also not flashy, but I like it because it has a beautiful and gentle flavor that is also fragile: ☺️
It might have been fresher when it was opened, but this calmness is also intoxicating.
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
First time chuin you have a great lineup ✨I remember drinking it last year and enjoying it very much 😻.
I recently started going to say hi to a liquor store I'm familiar with 😆 I hope to continue our good relationship ❣️
Good evening, Pon 😃.
The lineup made me want to go and greet the new year 🍶😁.
Familiar liquor stores and drunkenness, I admire it 🥰.
Pon-chan, please find an opportunity to visit chuin this year 🍶☺️
New Year's sake review. At my favorite store in Nagano city.
A sake that very few of my favorite stores in Nagano carry. Unlike regular Kame no Kai, it is not fire-aged!
Already, the juiciness was totally different even in Kame-no-Kai. Because it is the top model of Kame-no-Kai, there are not many of it left, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so the more I write about it, the more I regret that I can't drink it. ......
At my parents' house for New Year's.
This is...peculiar!
It tastes exactly like a Shine Muscat. It's not sweet, but this is almost like a dessert wine anymore. I thought it was amazing that sake could remove so much of the sake feeling. A sake to remember.
At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City.
The first drink of the new year. Usually I start with "Akanesu Nouveau", but this year I chose Kame no Kai by Tsuchiya Shuzo, the same brewer. The first attack was gorgeous. It reminded me of pineapple. The first attack is gorgeous, with a hint of pineapple and a touch of gas, and the tanginess is impressive. The umami gradually took effect, and the sweetness was followed by a moderate acidity and richness, and then the aroma of peaches and bananas and the richness changed to a lingering feeling at the back of the bottle.
The sinking feeling when drinking this cup is unforgettable.
It is limited to the brewery store and has a nice Mt. Asama etching. It was very easy to drink, paired with any food, and complemented our meal.
It reminded me to be modest and humble at the start of the New Year.
☀️
They called it "fine snow" because it is thin and cloudy. It sure looks like snow falling in the bottle... fashionable name 🤗.
The aroma is sweet.
It is a sweet aroma, which is common in mellow types, similar to that of Akabu 🙄.
It has a strong sweetness and a subtle bitterness. The sweetness is diffused by the slight carbonation and then squeezed by the bitterness.
After that, you can enjoy the lingering aftertaste with mellow ginjo aroma 😊.
Hello, Hiro-san.
I know you are interested in this one: ⤴️
The sweetness and bitterness, and the lingering mellow aroma - I feel bliss just looking at your review ✨.
I'd love to try it someday 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-😄.
It was my first drink too and it was even better than I expected 😁.
It may be unique to Hosoyuki, but I think Kame no Umi is worth a try 😆.
Yamada Nishiki is produced in Hyogo Prefecture
Elegant and smooth on the palate
It is an excellent sake with a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and spiciness. ‼️
Delicious 😋.
Kame no Kai Hosoyuki Junmai Ginjo
Straight pumping unfiltered raw
This bottle was recommended to me at a sake shop.
Last year it was quite light, but this year it was a bit heavier than last year, so I bought it with high expectations.
I didn't find it very rich, but the sweet aroma made it easy to drink.
It was delicious!
Akanesusu in the turtle sea🐢🌊.
Another first drink.
The ginjo aroma rises from the opening of the bottle.
In the mouth, sweetness and acidity like strawberries.
It is delicious, too delicious.
The top level of sweetness and juiciness.
It's great, Kame no Kai.
No matter which one you drink, you will not be disappointed.
Let's go after it again next year.
Price: ¥1760 (720ml)
Thank you for your comment, kata-san. Sake, in particular, shows regional differences, doesn't it? It is not always easy to find brands from western Japan.
I thought I'd try some local sake in Karuizawa and have a smoke 🍶´-.
I remember feeling it was a bit sweet, but I'm sure it would have tasted even better if I had chosen a meal to go with it!
