Sake that changed its name from Fukuda to Fukkai
Slightly effervescent just after opening the bottle
Fruity and quite sweet.
The umami of the rice also stands out.
Long aftertaste
Delightful!
★★★★
This is the first time since the new brand "Fukkai
I'll take it.
It has a light sweetness and lactic acidity.
It's also nice to feel it goes down smoothly 🎶.
After comparing drinks, I wanted to have another glass of Fukkai 🍶, a brand I've never heard of.
It seems to be a new brand.
I ordered it not realizing it was a sparkling 😅 it went well with the zucchini ✨.
Fukuda Fukkai Bangaishu
August 11, 2024
Asahiya Sake Shop
2970 yen
Fukkai was rebranded by Fukuda in Nagasaki. I had previously tried Fukuda Bangaishu and gave it 3 stars, so I wasn't really attracted to it, but I was again attracted to a sake made with rice outside the same range, so I bought it. When I poured it into the chirori, it started bubbling and had a nice aroma like sweet candy. Unlike the image of the aroma, the sour-sweet flavor was subdued and the carbonation added a drier feel. The taste has a hint of Japanese pear, and while it is sharp, it does not have much richness or umami.
I opened the bottle and decided to drink it without thinking, and when I lifted the crown up with a quick "kuikui", the crown flew up to the ceiling with a nice sound 😅.
I got myself back on track and drank it 😊.
It's a little bit light and cloudy.
The aroma is refreshing and sweet, and it goes right into your nose.
Shuwa shuwa ☺️ powerful acidity comes in 😁.
The taste is nothing special to emphasize, and the grape (grape) juice-like flavor spread on the tongue in a wispy way.
Somehow in the aftertaste I think it is probably the taste of Yamada Nishiki rice. It slightly fills the mouth.
I served it with sashimi, and it went very well with it. Wasabi soy sauce is perfect 😋.
This is the first time I have had Fukkai. It is fresh with a weak fizziness. The label is emotional and uplifting. It is made with Yamadanishiki grown without pesticides in the company's own rice paddies, so you can imagine the time and effort that went into the production of this wine.
I even have a Lemacom.
The amount of alcohol in the fridge is never decreasing
Our refrigerator💦.
I can't fit any drinks other than food and alcohol.
It's really annoying 💧.
Let's take it all out for a minute!
I put them on the plastic sheet with Dora.
I put them on the plastic sheet 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 ....
Well... there's a lot!
I was surprised to see how much was in the not-so-big refrigerator.
I was surprised to see how much was in there 🫢‼️ (don't tell me how much there was🤫)😜.
So that's how it is.
I've been drinking some new booze.
I'm going to try to reduce the inventory💪🏻
The first sake we opened was
Fukuda Junmai Active Light Nigori ✨🥂✨.
Melon-like sweet aroma ✨🥂✨.
The sweetness and acidity of the strong sweetness spreads refreshingly
while the sweet acidity spreads refreshingly through the nose.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you may feel it is light
but it is rather rich.
The alu feeling of sweetness and acidity is still left in the mouth.
500ml 1000 yen (tax included)
Hi, Tsubu 🐦.
I went back and thought you were drinking a lot and that's what I thought you were doing 😆 I have a lot of stuff to put in the fridge in the summer and I want to cut back 💦.
The labels are very nice ✨I wish I could meet you Fukuda😊.
Hi, Tsubu 😃.
I thought the Tsubu family fridge was a black hole 🕳️ 😉 I really hope it has a pocket for Doraemon 😆.
Mr. Fukuda reminds me of stained glass in Hirado! Is this a precious one before Mr. Fukkai 😊.
Good evening, Pon😄.
Everyday my fridge is full of alcohol💦I wonder what to do with it... I just have to drink it 🤣but I'll get some more soon😤.
Pon-chan, I didn't see you at Fukuda yet! I hope we can meet 😉.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄!
I really don't want alcohol to take over my fridge this time of year 〰︎💦Doraemon's pocket I want it with all my heart 🤣 This label reminds me of the church in Hirado ⛪️ ✨Now "Fukuda" is a precious sake?
Mowed the lawn today 💦 after taking a paid day off.
I wanted to go out for a beer right afterwards, but I had to hold off because I had to go somewhere in the evening 😬.
I didn't have any beer at home, so I bought some on the way home and put it in the freezer.
I couldn't resist and had it with ice.
The first Fukkai from beer!
It's a very refreshing and acidic beer.
It's quite crisp and acidic 🤔.
I thought it would go in smoothly, but it's 14 degrees.
It goes in like water in a good way 😋.
Hello, Bousuke 😃.
After sweating 💦, you want to go for a cold beer 🍺🤗and the astringent label of Fukkai-san! Slurp 14 degrees sounds gentle and delicious 😚.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I used to drink very little beer, but lately I've been drinking it more often 💦 because it's so hot 🥵.
I still crave sake though 😋.
Fukkai-san, which is made from unprocessed rice, is very smooth .
A lot has been going on at work 😩 Finally a Sunday drink post 🤗.
Last weekend we had our usual 😅J&N split into two groups and visited each other's parents' homes! And as usual, we met again on Sunday evening 😊The sake chosen for the celebration was our second bottle of Fukkai-san ‼️ this time sparkling 🎉.
Carefully opened the bottle and poured the bubbles 🫧 into a Riedel glass 😙 and expectations are high!
The aroma is a bit greefy, but once you take a sip, you'll be surprised how good it is 😋 Dry and crisp, sparkling is always good 😍.
I had a bottle of Fukuda-san's Yamadanishiki Active Light Nigorigo a few months ago and it was like an evolution of that 🤗.
Such was the story of Sunday's reunion...
Weekend Nobby went out ahead of us on Friday, and Jay was late and started on Saturday! I was supposed to check the note 📝, close the shutters, turn off the lights 💡, turn off the air conditioner and check ☝️... and then leave 🤔.
On my way home on Sunday, I had a bad feeling that I had forgotten something 😰 and I had to come home earlier than Nobby to check 💦, but Nobby, who was home 5 minutes earlier than me, told me that the air conditioner was on...😳It was on from Saturday noon to Sunday evening😱I was shocked and drooped! Jay was kindly told by Nobby, "It's good that the room is cooled down and you can have dinner right away 😉" 😭.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
Nobby, you are too nice✨
Well, Mr. Fukuda, you told me about it when I first started Sake no Wa and I have it on my to-drink list, but I haven't found it yet 💧.
It looks like it would be a refreshing summer drink and would go well with many meals!
Jay & Nobby, good evening😊I think it's common to forget to turn off the air conditioner, but I'm sure you're just being considerate because I'm sure you forget sometimes too 🥰 I'm always the one who forgets, so I always get angry 😅I'd love to drink Fukkai 😍.
Good morning Jay & Nobby, ☀️
I haven't had a proper Fukkai, I'd like to try it 😋.
I'm glad to hear that the air conditioner seems to eat up a lot of power when it first cools down lol
Nobby, you are too cool🎊.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
It takes a long time to cool down when you turn on the air conditioner after you get home, and it costs a lot of money for the electricity 😁.
It's great to have dinner in a cool room as soon as you get home ✨.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞Fukkai, I finally bought some since it's quite a hot topic in Sakewa 🙌Ibaraki only has one store that carries it 😭.
We run our air conditioner 24 hours a day in the summer 🌞 ‼️
Hello Jay & Nobby ^_^
Oops, I know you did that 😭
I'm also worried about forgetting to turn it off when I go out, so I keep going back and checking, but sometimes I forget to turn it off 😱.
Hatsufukkai and Yamada Nishiki Hi-ire are waiting for you: ✌️
Jay & Nobby.
Hi...yes, yes, yes! Interpret people's mistakes in a positive way👍This is important! Especially between married couples😘Fukkai is a good name for it👍
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
I knew it was economical to leave it on 😆 I could start my evening quickly 🤗! I actually knew that 😆 I was able to start my evening quickly 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 😃.
Oh, I see you got it 👍I'll be waiting for it to go up 😅! I'm waiting for you to come up👍👋You're right, when I'm here, I'm working 24 hours a day 😅.
Good evening, Koizo 😃.
That's really it! It's important to see everything in a positive light 🤗I want to be a positive J&N 😊I love the Fukkai label too♪
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
Fukkai and Sparkling look delicious, which I've been seeing a lot of lately at Sake no Wa!
Nobby you are so kind 🙏✨I'm sure it's because Jay is always so kind too😊.
Good evening Jay & Nobby!
I was a little curious about Fukkai, but after reading your post, I want to try it more and more 😆.
By the way, how kind you are, Nobby 😭
I have to learn from you 💦.
Good evening, Yutaro 😃.
Sorry for the late reply 😅😅Fukkai, this was my second bottle and it's delicious 😋I guess it's important to have an open mind 😌, even though it's difficult 😆.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🐥I love the sparkling Fukkai in this heat 🤤Air conditioner, but what about turning it off once and then rechecking it [on timer]...? Nobby for your kindness and 🫶🏻 for your two dusty 🥂✨
Good evening, Kotori-san 😃.
Sparkling ☀️ is the best at this time of the year 🤗Fukkai-san delicious! I'm sorry 😋.
I'm so alu alu that I turn it on when I think Jay has turned it off 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. ☀︎
It was released under the Fukkai brand when I returned to Nagasaki in the winter, but I didn't go through with it, so I thought I would make sure to bring it home with me next time I return 💡.
Hi Yoohee 😃
The label of Fukkai is cool too! It's a Fukuda sake brewery, so I'm sure it will be very popular and tasty 🤗Please check it out in your hometown 👋
He said the master had laid it down as a treasured possession.
Now it is the old Fukuda.
Soft and light texture with full rice flavor.
The acidity is gentle and round.
The umami is firm,
It seems to accompany a meal calmly.
It is delicious.
My favorite 4/5
The Vice Sour here is also good.
moderately good
Left photo.
Perhaps because it has been some time since the bottle was opened, you can't feel much fizz. The refreshing acidity and soft sweetness are felt like ripples.
I bought this sake from Hirado, Nagasaki when I traveled to Kyushu in January!
The moment I opened the bottle, it made a nice sound! It sounded so good!
I opened the bottle six months after I bought it, and it was amazing that it had a perfect gassy feeling 😋.
The bouncing fizzy feeling is fun and very easy to drink!
A hint of sweetness
The flavor is soft.
The bitterness of grapefruit gives it a sharpness that I really like!
I drank the whole bottle in no time 🤣.
I first heard of Fukkai through a recommendation from a yakitori restaurant in Kumamoto!
After drinking it at the yakitori restaurant, I immediately went to the liquor store and bought two bottles to bring back to Taiwan!
Thank you so much for letting me meet such a great sake💕.
I actually booked another flight to Saga Airport in December!
I am looking forward to my next trip to Kyushu 🧳 ✈️
Good morning, superbebe!
Thanks for the yakitori shop in Kumamoto 🤗I have a bottle of sparkling Fukkai in my fridge 👍 looking forward to drinking it 😋.
I like your Kyushu trip ✈️! We want to go back too 🥹.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌃
I'm jealous of your Fukkai sparkling 🍾😆.
You always had a nice bottle of sake in the fridge 😋.
I didn't get to visit Kagoshima and Miyazaki at all last time, so I think I'll go back to Kyushu to visit those areas again!
