This is what I drank on my father's birthday the other day! A special Junmai sake from Sake Tomo, a friend of mine gave it to me😄I am happy to have this for such a special occasion.
The aroma is fruity! Peachy, apple-like, with a hint of sourness. It also has a hint of refined sugar. When you drink it, you will find that it has the unique "sweet, delicious, and fruity" characteristics of Imi. The sweetness is more like syrup than sugar. The sweetness is not so sweet with some bitterness and sourness at the end. The aftertaste is well balanced. My father was also pleased with it.
On the back label, there is a note that the current Toji's father passed away... I wonder if it is some kind of coincidence that I drink it on his birthday. I hope my father will live as long as possible.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu 😊.
Happy birthday to your father 🎂🎉!
Special pure ✨ of the shot beauty ✨I'm glad your father is happy too ☺️ this back label...my father passed away suddenly too and it's like how my brother felt at that time 🥲....
Thank you, Tsubu! I'm glad my father enjoyed it. It's sweet, but not too sweet. And I see that Tsubu-chan's father was the same way... I know you write a lot of thoughts on the label of the Imi.
Happy belated birthday to your father 🎉🎂🎂!
It's nice to have a toast with your father with delicious sake 😊Please share many drinks and make lots of memories 😌.
Fruity aroma. The moment you put it in your mouth, the rich sweetness spreads, is it too sweet? I thought it was too sweet, but then the acidity came in and it all came together.
A very tasty sake that I hope to encounter again ✨.
Opened for my mother's birthday and the first anniversary of her passing last year!
It is sweet and fruity. I've tried three different kinds and this might be the sweetest one I've ever had!
It tasted sweet to match the color of the label!
I thought it would be more sour since it said it tasted like strawberries. I was expecting it to taste more like strawberries, but I didn't notice much sourness. I thought it would taste more like strawberry, but I didn't feel much sourness.
Regardless of what you think, it is very tasty!
I can't wait to see how the taste changes from here!
Jay & Nobby.
The year is going by faster and faster.
But it's not so bad when you think that the sake you missed out on this year may be available again after a year has passed in the blink of an eye (laugh).
We opened a bottle of Ichigo🍓, a so-called "Strawberry" from Imi that we were able to get last month.
When you pour it into a glass, it has a sweet aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, the moist and extremely sweet flavor spreads out, and the sweetness with a second sourness lingers after it passes the throat. The aftertaste is exactly 🍓. There is no alcohol stimulation at all, and the mouthfeel is smooth. This is irresistibly delicious 🍒 and recommended for sake beginners. Well, it is difficult to obtain, but I want to let many people know how delicious it is.
Cork Opening Festival 🥰.
Top of the list is here 💁♂️ which I had given up on after missing the lottery.
We received this bottle from our dear sake friends and sake activity pies, T&D 😍❣️
I told him it was too good to be true, but he told me to just open the bottle and I'm happy 🩷.
It was like a strawberry 🍓, even the wife of my younger colleague who doesn't usually drink sake said it was "✨umami✨" and drank it 😁.
The fruity ‼️ the 🍶‼️
The sweetness is gentle and has a strong umami taste,
It was a sigh of deliciousness 😋.
Thank you T&D 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Muro!
I like the taste of the turtle in the 🎵.
I'd like to drink the sweet and tasty Sagami-san 😋.
I'm sure the whiskies are all very nice and a feast for the eyes 😊.
Hi, ma-ki-San 😋.
I enjoyed the sake and the turtle 😋.
My junior is into whiskey, so I was able to accompany him 😅I guess it's a synergy effect when you drink whiskey after sake, both are even more delicious 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Muro😄♪
Did you start with the 🥂🤗
Isn't it delicious 😘 strawberry 🍓.
I think it's easy to drink even for sake beginners😊.
I'm glad you liked it: ☺️
Good evening, Tsubu!
It's just great 🩷I had given up after missing the lottery.
I'm already so impressed, I opened the bottle first 🥰.
Thank you 😭💕
I got the example liquor in 😁👍 my junior brought it to me: ‼️
Sagami White.
Aged for one year in ice-cold storage.
It has a sweet, pear-like aroma from the Sugihara Shuzo brewery.
The smooth texture is pleasantly tangy and acidic with a hint of bitterness, and the well-balanced umami and sweetness spread smoothly and smoothly.
The sweet and sour taste from the mid-palate is good, and while fading out nicely, it leaves a deep flavor in the aftertaste.
Although the brewery is thought to have a lot of rich flavors, the white malted rice eases the taste and makes the sake well-balanced in terms of drinkability.
It starts out sweet, and then the bitterness and acidity kick in.
The white malted rice is used, so I think it is a little different from the image of Imi that I had heard.
As the description says, it is a food sake.
It was very tasty.
The taste is very good.
Sashi-Drinking with Mr. Jaive (3)
I didn't see it on the menu, but the owner said they also have pink 😁.
Pink, which seems to have been released for the first time in 6 years.
Slightly oriented. Sweet and a little bitter. I like it sweeter than black.
I was looking forward to 🍓 but I don't know if it's because it's been open for a while, but I couldn't tell the 🍓 feeling...
☀️
It is indeed a strawberry 🍓, as the endorsement says.
It is a sweet, sweet strawberry🍓 with low acidity.
When I was drinking it, I thought the smell was strawberry🍓 like as well.
I thought the story on the back of the bottle was very Hiroshi Fujioka-like: ☕️
Sweet...slightly sour...no tangy taste...delicious...🍶Sagami and Kinjaku are two of my favorite sweet sake 🍶It's been a year since I've had a sake like that... 😋.
One-day trip to Osaka ④🚃.
So far, I ordered the same thing as [bouken], but from here on, we ordered different things 🎵.
I ordered "Kahayo Yoku Premium", and bouken-san ordered "射美 Pink", and what came out was "射美 特純 15号"!
I ordered "Hahoriyokyu THE PREMIUM Hachitan-Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo, Polishing 40%, Unfiltered Nama-shu".
I had drunk it in the past, and this time, I reviewed the "Imi Pink" which I was given in exchange for a little bit of the "Imi Pink".
ikumi tokun jun 15
Distinctive but indescribable aroma, clean sweetness on the palate.
The taste is much easier to recognize than the black one.
The "Huahiangyoku" has a sweet pineapple flavor that does not betray its Huahiangyoku-like character.
6300 yen for the two of us after drinking so much premium sake and ordering food.
That's too cheap!
After this, we went back to Namba station to say goodbye to bouken-san and went back to Umeda for shopping.
Hello, Mr. Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
Thank you so much bouken for taking us to the liquor store we wanted to visit ✨
We were able to choose from 7 different types of "Shinmasa" alone 🥰They are also opening "Jyushidai" and "Shinshu Kamerei" during the GW!
One-day trip to Osaka (2)
I met up with bouken-san, who had asked me to exchange sake at Namba's EDION, and we went to the sake corner, and then to Nikomaru Shuhan in Kouhama.
To my surprise, I was able to get a bottle of "Sentoku" that I had been looking for, which had just arrived.
I was also able to buy a bottle of Oita's "Hanashimi" 🎵.
From there, I went back to Tennoji and had a drink at Tesho Sake 🍶.
They had a lot of premium sake on tap during the GW period, and I was wondering which one to order, so I started with this one!
Imi BLACK"!
There was also a WHITE sake, but I chose this one because I have had it in the past!
It has no characteristic aroma, a complex taste that can be taken as umami, sweetness, or sourness, and a bitter taste that lingers on the tongue after it finishes.
Hmmm, it's hard to evaluate 🤔.
Hey Gyve, hi 😃.
You came from Fukui to Osaka and got Kyushu Sake👍Great 👏You were aiming for it?
It will be fun to join you and bouken for the premier sake festival😍🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby, hello here too ☀.
All 4 of the bottles, including the one we exchanged with bouken this time, were all firsts for us ✨.
It's great to be able to get sake from a difficult province that will be wallowing in the second week of the nationals, and also to drink pre-sake 🥰.
