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 🧬.
First Nagasaki Sake
Slightly sweet aroma
Slightly effervescent in the mouth
Slight sweetness, with a hint of sourness and bitterness.
The aroma in the mouth is sweet.
Very easy to drink and delicious
late growing wet-land rice variety, often used in sake production
Gentle microbrews. It goes all the way in and the sweetness spreads in the mouth. Gentle umami. A little astringency and grapes. 87 points
Sweetness: 3.3
Dryness: 2.5
Hints of aroma: 2.7
Acidity: 2.6
Aroma like strawberry. Slightly effervescent, with a rice-like flavor and sweetness. Not too sweet, but just right for me personally 🍶 The lingering aftertaste of rice is also nice.
I haven't had it since it became Fukkai (I believe).
I'm always putting off drinking it because I can always find it at the local liquor store, but I saw a bottle of Omachi Nama Sake, so I bought it!
This one hit the jackpot!
It's not a big bang with a strong umami, but rather a gradual spread of umami in the mouth 🥰.
The umami is soaked in 😍.
It was a waste not to try this 😅.
This is the last time I'll be doing this 😁.
It's been a while 😆.
As usual, it's fire-brewed, but still fresh and delicious 😁.
This is the kind of sake that you would call a fukkai ☝️ ✨
Again, we had a lot of great sake 😁.
I feel happy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Sweet aroma 🍓.
A little tangy and fizzy...φ(．) Memo note
Clear, refreshing and different from the sake I've had until now: ‼️
It's 14 degrees though, even though it's low alcohol.
It goes well with kikurage ponzu vinegar👍
It is brewed with gratitude for all the blessings that the tides bring. It is a pleasant sake with a beautiful effervescence that bounces like the waves of white blue.
The first sip is indeed...a beautiful bubbly sensation rather than a taste or aroma. Indeed...the first sip is not so much a taste or aroma as it is a beautiful effervescence. After that, the umami and acidity of the rice spread out. It is delicious, but in Nagasaki, I think I would prefer it to Hiran (this is my personal opinion).
When I visited Nagasaki City on a trip to Kyushu,
I bought Fukkai, which I was curious about because it had been talked about on YouTube.
I was not able to drink alcohol during my stay in Nagasaki City, so I drank it at home to vent my frustration (lol).
It has a fruity aroma like pineapple 🍍 and a beautiful sweet acidity that finishes with a bitter bitterness.
It is not sharp, well-balanced, and very easy to drink 😊.
I drink it cold, but I got it and had it with a hot set of Tachiikawa Chestnut Manju 🌰.
The day we bought it, there was a lantern festival in the city, so we went together.
Good morning, soumacho 😃.
Fukkai-san got it locally ‼️ It's good to drink at home with a knob to remember your trip 😋.
Lantern festival! I love the bright colors 🤗The real thing looks so powerful!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😄.
I've never seen Fukkai in my hometown, so I was after it ✨.
I haven't been to Lantern in a decade, but the real thing is awesome 😳.
