Kanemitsu Shuzo, the brewer of my favorite brand, Kamo Kanehide, also brews a brand with an alcohol-sweetened name "Sakurafuki".
I usually don't like to drink alky sake, but when I went to a direct sales place yesterday to buy something for a friend, I accidentally bought it because of its cheap price 🤭 (less than 1,200 yen for 720ml).
I drank it last year, but I had forgotten how it tasted 😅.
When I opened the bottle again, I didn't smell that much aroma. When I take a sip, I feel the sweetness, but it is only because it is alky. It goes in smoothly and has a clean aftertaste👍.
It is a very easy to drink sake and does not disturb as a food sake 🙌.
However, this one is not made with a piquancy feeling, which is Kamo Kanehide's specialty, even when hi-iring... I didn't realize how different they are even if they are from the same brewery! It was a new discovery for me 💡.
The most important thing is that it's very cost-effective, which is great for drinkers 🥰.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I usually have one beer 🍺 followed by cheap shochu 😅...but since it's the end of the year, I can't save any more 🤭.
It would be fun to rank the drinks under 1,500 yen: ❗️

Purchased at the sake brewery of Nonta in Saijo Roadside Station. It has a sour and sweet taste, but like other Saijo sake, it is not harsh and has a clean aftertaste. The cat label is also nice.

This "Sakurafukiyuki" is a brand created in the Meiji era, and is more cosy than "Kamo Kanehide" from the same Kinko's brewery 😀.
The aroma is subtle, and the fruity sensation flows quickly in the mouth, with a mellow, umami aftertaste. It is a little more classic, and is very typical of Japanese sake 🍶. ☺️
Sweet and sour taste followed by bitterness and alcohol. It has no characteristics, but it is honestly delicious. Good cost performance. Can be bought at supermarkets for 1,400 yen.
This is a memorandum of my visit to "Ikki" in Yokogawa.
I came to Yokogawa's "Ikki" for the after-party of a farewell party after a long time 🍶.
The first drink was "Sakurafubuki" by Kinko's 🌸.
I love "Kamo Kanehide", but "Sakura Fubuki" is also great 🤗.
