I stopped by on my way home from work,
I found a Fukkai that I was interested in and bought it.
The sweet and sour taste on the palate is followed by a slight bitterness in the second half.
The weak fizziness makes it more refreshing,
It is very light and easy to drink.
Very tasty.
I wanted to drink it slowly,
but because of its flavor, it was consumed quite quickly.
It is one of the brands I would like to repeat.
Good evening, Shonan Han 😃.
Congratulations on your first Fukkai-san ㊗️ for a good meeting after work 🎉 Indeed, it's one that you can't drink slowly and kill in a blink of an eye 😋.
FUKUKAI No. 2
I don't remember much, so here are just my impressions.
The acidity and sweetness are well balanced and not too assertive, so it can be drunk as a food sake. I don't feel it has much individuality, but I don't feel any particular faults either. Well-balanced. Good.
Rebranding when you have a core fan base is quite a challenge 🦸🔥!
I've never had Fukuda, but I've always been curious about it 🍶.
Ahhh...! Nice popping sound👏👏👏 too!

Shuwa shuwa 🫧 chili chili 🎵
A fresh (not rocky shore) rummy-like ocean aroma 🌊🌊.
It comes in your mouth like a flash, and the little white rabbit jumps around 🐇.
I ran through it while cackling 😆.

Hello, Minosuke 😃.
Fukkai-san's popularity has increased even more due to his stupidity 🤩Fukuda-san's rebranding is a great success 👍.
Change is hard but challenge is important 🤗.
A table that makes the cups go further! Saikoh ‼️
Jay & Nobby. Hello 😊
First time for a drink 🍶 that reminds me of the sea! It was 😋💕
I wish I could explore the brewery 🙌🎵.
I drink at home 🍷 so I would be happy to make some snacks to go with my delicious sake 😆.
I've been curious about this one for a while.
I was even more curious when I saw that it was recently introduced in a Salmon Lab, so I bought it!
It is indeed delicious!
Full-bodied, but not too strong, and easy to drink.
It's like a well-balanced, clean sake.
I bought this sake because it was a rare Nagasaki sake.
It is very difficult to describe, but it was not sweet, but rather refreshing and deep.
Sake is very deep.
This time, the rice used was Reihou.
I am looking forward to the next one.

Next is Omachi, a tangy, gassy wine with sweet and sour tastes, with a slight acidity predominating.
This one is more my taste.
Thank you very much for the meal!

Fukkai often seen at Sake-no-wa these days
It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity!
Is the long T in the third photo a pastiche of the Blue Hearts' CD jacket?
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
I've always been curious about Fukkai nigori😊.
It starts with a pineapple and yogurt-like flavor, then a little stronger carbonation, and disappears with just the right amount of sweetness and a lingering bitter taste...
It's the best 😊
Ki The smell is alcohol The mouthfeel is sweet rice sweetness,
Sei: Slightly fermented, easy to drink, not too strong, not too spicy.
TEN: Melon or something, hard to describe, but easy to drink, maybe a little banana. Not too fizzy, not too strong, well adjusted, good.
Conclusion Dry, with a clean aftertaste, acidic but relatively cool
We received a bottle of Fukkai's Yamadanishiki Nama Sake.
I have seen and heard about Fukkai in many places recently. I had always been curious about it, and at a liquor store at the beginning of the year, I found a bottle of raw sake that I had never seen before and purchased it.
Fukuda Shuzo, located near the southern tip of Hirado Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, rebranded their main brand Fukuda, and this Fukkai was introduced in 2023. The concept is "sake that expresses the sea," and the brand aims to represent the sea of Shidabiki Bay that stretches out in front of the brewery.
Poured into a glass, it looks slightly yellowish, soft, and glossy, as is typical of nama-zake. There are no bubbles or visible gas.
When you drink it, it has a dense flavor that seems to have been condensed. My first impression was that it tasted "right in the middle of the trend," but as I drank two or three more glasses, I gradually began to notice its individuality.
It has a strong umami and is fruity, but not too sweet, and in the latter half, it has a clear and crisp taste with a hint of bitterness and alcohol.
If it were to be fired, it would become a little more relaxed and might be perfect for a mealtime sake.
There are also nigori and sparkling varieties, which I would like to try in the future.
Thanks for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😊.
Fukkai is delicious 🍶I understand that it is a sake from a place you are associated with!
It's possible that you feel the taste on a genetic level 🧬.
