The aroma is delicious!
When you put it in your mouth, it's an explosion of flavor.
Good sweetness
A hint of bitterness
Delicious!
I need to go to Koshiken
the last two times I've had it.
The last two times I've been able to get it.
Brewed with care.
It's a combination.
Not expensive.
You can't buy it by mail order

Fresh sweet and spicy fancy guy 🍶.
I came across a bottle of Imi Gin-Sen this season 😁.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma on top of the aroma.
This year's sweet and spicy is slightly sweet. Sweetness, high alcohol spiciness, umami sweetness and balancing bitterness. Fresh gas feeling is strong. Compared to last year, the sweetness is weaker and the bitterness is weaker to match, which is more to my liking than last year. 😋😋😋😋
Is this brewed to achieve this balance? Great technique - Merry Christmas 🥳.
Various elements come together in the mouth in an assertive manner 👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Stronger gasiness.
This year's Ginsen is clear and delicious cold after the gas is gone 😇

Hints of haze.
Slightly piney aroma.
No schwarziness, maybe just a slight tingle on top of the bottom.
It's so subtle that it might be the sting of alcohol.
Alcohol tingle in the nose for a moment.
Sweet but with a lingering bitterness, leaving a slight aftertaste like rubbing ethanol in the mouth.
It's like after a visit to the dentist.
The bitterness lingers for a long time.
When I had it with venison terrine, the alcohol tanginess disappeared and it was really good.
Maybe it's meant to be paired with a meal.
Sweet flavor with a little cocoa, a little acidity
The thickness is firm. The sweet and sourness comes out from the strong sweetness on top of a little bit of the sweetness, and it certainly has the feeling of strawberry seeds. Alcohol is coming out through the nose. The alcohol is gone and the taste is pleasant,
The alcohol lingers for a long time and there is a slight bitterness and sweetness on the tongue.
Thick and thick, but not too rough on the tongue.
It's the winter solstice. I will probably have my last bottle of the year with my favorite sake, Imi!
Maybe it's the strength of the 17%, but after the fruity taste, it was rather tangy! It was the spiciest one I've had so far!
I'm not a fan of spiciness, but the fruity aroma is ahead of the spiciness, so I don't feel like I'm not a fan at all! Delicious!
Since it's the winter solstice, I picked up some pumpkin and chibi, chibi, chibi....
I knew I like ebi. I proudly bought it with my Ivy Road cold storage bag (lol)!
And the writing on the back of this one was goofy too! I'm rooting for you! I'm rooting for you, but I wonder how many bottles I can buy this season! I'll do my best!
Good morning, Miuraumi 😃
Is this your last one for this year 😳Iumi, you can tighten it up perfectly👍If it's spicy, it might be our favorite! Take your time and enjoy 👋
Jay & Nobby.
We have a one bottle in the fridge rule, so this will be the last bottle.
I see that you like dry wine! It's nice that it's tangy and goes well with a meal!

The first "shooti".
This is the 600 check-in.
I stopped by that "Koyama Shoten" on a whim,
I couldn't help but buy it! I bought it without a second thought.
It had a raw, unfiltered, and unrefined taste,
The sweetness and umami come through with a shocking sensation,
The taste of the sake is very good, and the 17% alcohol content makes it very drinkable,
The alcohol content of 17% makes it a very drinkable product,
It is a gem that stands out for its individuality.
Above all, it is the label on the back.
The label is a heartwarming reminder that this is the first brewing after the father's departure.
The 600 check-in is still a baby.
Good evening, shogot1978 😃.
Congratulations on 600 check-ins 🎉.
Nice memorial at your first Imi 😍Ginsen I wanted to get one too but I guess I can't! Good timing on your purchase at Koyama Shoten!
Good evening, shogot1978!
Congratulations on your 600th check-in 🎉!
It's a good milestone for you to stop by and get a bottle of Imi 😋.
The label on the back of the bottle is very inspiring🍀.

Thank you for your prompt comment!
I am very happy to hear it: ☺️
It was a purchase that I happened to make, and I was lucky enough to be able to drink it and enjoy it more!
Thank you 😊
Good morning, shogot1978 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins at Fluffy and Imi's ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉.
The back label will make your heart shudder 🥹and your body tremble after drinking 🤗We are still babies 👶🏻 too 😄.
Congratulations shogot1978 on your 600 check-ins✅🎊🎉!
I stopped by Koyama Shoten and found a great 😍Sagami has great sake, but the back label is great too. Keep up the good sake life ✨.
Good evening shogot1978😃 Nice to meet you! Call me Mr. Cat 🤲600 check in 🍾Congratulations on ㊗️ 🍾Pong!
It's too nice to just drop by and meet you and your shooting beauty 💕I'd love to meet you 😆.
Jay & Nobby.
Thanks for your comments!
The shoots have been a lot of fun for us: ☺️
I'm accumulating my favorite drinks for the holiday season, so I'm working hard to reach 700 💪.
Cat.
Thank you for your comment!
My subordinate asked me to pick out some sake for his trip home, so I met him at Koyama Shoten first thing in the morning and we got it 😁Thanks to my subordinate 🙌
Thankfully, I bought the last Ebi of the year!
Looking back, this year I have had the pleasure of drinking white, black, and pink. Each of them has its own unique flavor, giving us the pleasure of drinking the greatness of the sake!
This year's Ginzen Hatsumi
The smoothness of the mouthfeel and the long aftertaste at the end of drinking are excellent. The good parts of Aruzoe are used to make it all come together. It is a masterpiece. I would like to enjoy drinking this sake again next year while reading the label on the back of the bottle.
A very rich and dark sake with a deep flavor.
Very tasty sake with a good balance of koji giving it a nice sweetness and aroma.
I like the koji taste, so this is pretty good.
720ml
First purchase at Zero-subscription online Hitomi Bukuro
No.15, strawberry as the color of the label
When you are aware of it, it smells like strawberries.
When children smell it, they say it smells like lemon.
It's sweet, sweet, sweet!
It is sweet, sweet, sweet!
The acidity is also strong, just like biting into a strawberry.
It finishes with bitterness.

I wanted another drink, so I asked for the master's recommendation and it came out.
Since it was after Shinshu Kamerei, I felt a bit of alcohol on the first sip, but since it was paired with the rich milt, it was perfect from the second sip 👌.
The rich rice 🌾 flavor feeling, the rice eaten at the end of the meal changed to this. I can rarely drink this shooter. Sweet, sweet, sweet 😋.
The first shipment of the year "Ginsen Imi" ✨ was shipped on 12/11 and I was able to purchase it today.
I made love to it on 12/11 and was able to purchase it today!
I've been waiting for it 😏.
I was so excited...
I was so excited... I opened the bottle right away, beating out all the other sakes in the fridge waiting for their turn to be served 🍶.
Wow... the aroma is so good... this is the most gorgeous pineapple ever 🍍🥰🍍🍍🍍.
I could spend 20 minutes just smelling it.
But I don't have time for that, so I'm going to savor it.
✨Sweetness and rice flavor spreading in the mouth....soon sourness and....hmmm? I can also taste a bitterness.
What is it? Coffee? Caramel? It tastes bitter like coffee or caramel.
Personally, I think it tastes good with that, but maybe some people don't like it...
The alcohol content is 17%, so if you drink it while you're on a roll 💦...
Yes, I'll be careful ☺️
It's not just sweet, it has a robust flavor and a crazy fruity aroma that is especially impressive 🍶.
I'll give it a few days to drink up soon...
I might add more if there are any changes?
It's been 10 days since the bottle was opened, and it seems to have become more mellow, the bitterness has settled down, and the umami has been enhanced. ☺️
It's still delicious✨
Well, well, well, before this season's shot is released, I'm releasing the stock shot 🙇.
It's not a special day, but I'm going to open a bottle to show my body how hard I've been working 😍✨.
It's still delicious 😋 that's all I can say 😳🙏.
I'm always looking for new opportunities to get new things. It just so happens that it was near a distributor, so I was able to get it. How about this season?
I'm typing this comment and my dad is drinking his drink 😭.
Wait a minute 😆.
I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the next few days.... 😭I didn't expect to empty it in a day.
That's how delicious it is👍
If it's this tasty and drinkable, I'm going to aim a little bit for this season's Imi-sama 🤔.
It's actually delicious and it's right up my alley 🤗
Good evening, Swiss Su-san 🌝.
I've only seen Imi-san once at a liquor store in Tokyo, but it was restricted to be purchased with others😅.
That's great taste 😋I'm glad your father seems to be giving his stamp of approval👍.
Thanks for the comment, Chirsta 😊.
Not only Imi, there are quite a lot of tie-in sales 😓 as a way to prevent resellers 🤔.
I was lucky to be able to buy it because there was only a limit of one bottle per person 😆 It was a drumstick+taste 😃👌.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki.
I'm sorry to hear that you haven't tasted it yet, even though you've never had it. It is a super rare sake. I'm sure the smallest sake brewery in Japan is no joke. It's really delicious!
I've been a fan of the same one since I was served by Tsubu in early spring.
The rich koji aroma combined with sweet and sour taste is like a sweet and sour drop 🥰The bitter sour aftertaste gently converges 😌I hope I win again this year...
Good evening, Kotori 😃.
Congratulations on your 700 check-in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ with 😪Ragami who rested well after winning 🎊🎉.
I have a feeling Kotori-san will win again ‼️
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐥Thank you 😌Yamimi can only be found at the prefectural meeting (a cool idea by the Tsubasa family🥺) or by winning the election. ☺️ I hope to see you again for a little drink or something in the future. 🖐🏻
Hi Muro-san 🐥Thank you 😃I finally made it to 700 🤗I can't deny I'm running out of luck with the sake win 😂Maybe we'll cross paths at the Yamaokaya 🍜Kaminokawa 🤭May we keep in touch!
Good evening, Tsubu!
Thanks 😊Thanks for this special pure No. 15 🍓I was notified that I won when I forgot 😆I will try to win 🎯 this season 🎯I have no other way to welcome you 😭I hope you have time for a lunch drink or some ramen noodles 😉.
Masaaki Sapporo, good evening 🐥Thank you 😊I made it a rare one that you can only find by winning 🤗I always love the background of your photos ✨I hope we can both enjoy drinking in the future 😉.
