During the Bon vacations, I went to Kawamoku in Korien, which is often visited by Nemuchi-san. First visit😊.
They carry Hishiko, Kiminoi, Kure, Murasakiu, Kunigon, W, Yamato Shizuku, Dewazuru, Haneya, Morishima, Ichinotani, Kamikigen, Yamamoto, Kenshin, Aozora, Shimehari Tsuru, Asakura, etc.
I think there are many more. I think there are a little more Ippon bottles. I went there because I wanted some Ichinotani UNO, but they didn't have any 4gou...
Lemon squash or (not gassy) honey lemon-like juicy sweetness. Great acidity and sharpness. I couldn't buy the sake I was after, so I bought it instead, and I'm happy to say it's even better than I thought it would be.
I think there are not many Yamahai in Niigata 🤔.
I wrote that Kubota has a Yamahai 😅.
I feel like it has become more extractive as the days go by. I think it has become easier to drink now that the corners have been removed.
It's been a week and I think the acidity has depth and breadth.
Hi bouken😊
I googled it when you said that and all I found were things I've never seen before 😳‼️
And this sake looks very drinkable and delicious, but it's yamahai 😳
Good evening, bouken🌙
I am very glad that you like Kiminoi.
As you mentioned, it is a rare brewery in Niigata that has been producing Yamahai sake for a long time, and they make a very flavorful sake.
We hope you enjoy the Keishin series as well 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃
I've been wanting to go there since they have a sake that you don't see very often 😊I thought it was pretty sweet and tasty 😋I thought you didn't like yamahai?
Jurian, good evening 😃
Kiminoi has a long history of yamahai 😊.
This store seems to carry Keishin as well, so I would like to try it if I have a chance 😋.
bouken-san, good evening 🌛Kiminoi has recently started to sell their products 🍶I tasted the high-end "Kiminoi Yamahai Junmai Daiginjo" before, which is a 2-year aged Yamahai and was surprisingly elegant 😋It is high-end so please come and try it 😁
Hi Nemuchi 😃
I didn't know they carry it, I was so excited when I found it in the store 😳Yamahai jundai, looks expensive but just hearing about it sounds delicious 😆 I'd love to try it in a tasting 😊.
mellow sake
Almost transparent in color
It is a normal sake, but the flavor of the rice and the firm sweetness can be felt.
Also has a smooth texture, almost like water,
It has a smooth texture similar to water with a slight thickening.
The alcohol taste is tangy and medium-hot.
Pear-like sweetness and a slight sourness.
The rice flavor is sweet, but the taste is not so sweet,
It is perfect as a mid-meal drink because it can be drunk neatly.
It is perfect for a mealtime drink, and will not be overpowered by strong or oily food.
Today is the finale of the Niigata Festival, the Niigata Fireworks!
I enjoyed it from a little distance with my lunch along the nearby riverside.
I would have liked to see the fireworks collaboration project with Hatsune Miku Senbonzakura up close.
It was nice to see the Nagaoka fireworks in a cool place (TV), but it was nice to see them live from afar.
I had a cup of Kimi no I no Kappu to go with it!
The aroma of rice,
The aroma of rice, the richness of the raw sake, and the richness of the flavor....
The 19% alcohol content is not felt.
It is light, refreshing, and easy to drink,
Slightly sweet, with a guttural umami flavor!

It is delicious. It is a "rich sweet" wine. The sweet umami, which is a condensed combination of fruit and rice, spreads over the entire mouth with just the right amount of acidity. It has a broad flavor that is not just a thin scent of gin.
Bought it for a moment with Rusty Cat Rock. Also got Funaguchi Smoked incense!
It has a strong alcohol taste, but it has a sweetness with a tangy flavor and a spiciness that is very strong. Much tastier than I expected.
Niigata Souvenirs Part 2
The last one was a gift from Kimi no Ii, along with the Yukinaka Ume.
Seasonal summer sake ☀️
It was hot yesterday, so I chilled it to the perfect temperature before serving.
It was so hot yesterday, so I chilled it and enjoyed it!
It has almost no aroma and a smooth taste.
The aftertaste is a little bit peculiar.
but the low alcohol content makes it easy to drink.
It is very easy to drink!
It was delicious 😄.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with a sourness that is unique to Yamahai. There is not much bitterness, but a clean lactic acidity. It is 100% Gohyakumangoku and has a refreshing aftertaste. It is a type that seems to go well with Japanese food.
