First Fukuoka sake on my new account.
It is Ikegame from Kurume 🐢.
The label is a cute goldfish: ❤️
This is my first time drinking Ikegame, and while it is a junmai sake, it also has a bit of ginjo aroma, which gives it a nice cosiness 😙.
It has a refreshing and crisp summery taste, with just the right amount of sweetness and umami that won't interfere with your meal 😋.
It went well with meat, fish, and vegetables👍.
Thanks to the sake brewery and the store that recommended it to us 🙏!
Purchased at a liquor store.
Ikegame is a local sake often seen in Fukuoka.
Outside of the prefecture, you may not see it so often.
The label with a goldfish, which is reminiscent of summer sake, is cute and makes you feel cool.
Serve it cold.
It has a fresh aroma like cucumber. Some people may have different tastes.
In the mouth, it has a crisp taste like a ginjo-shu, but gradually changes to a fuller, more complex flavor that is typical of junmai sake.
The aftertaste is slightly longer than normal.
At about 1,300 yen for 4 gou of sake, it is probably more cost-effective than other summer sakes.
Recommended for intermediate-level sake drinkers.
First Ikegame. 20 years bottled, BY unknown.
Cheese-like aroma. There is no sense of maturity on the palate, and it has a smoothness that is typical of 50% polished aluzome. When it is cold, it is too refreshing, but as the temperature rises, the sweetness and deliciousness come out.
At Hakata Station,
I had it as a tasting.
It has the taste of summer.
The label is also cute,
The label is cute and makes you want to reach out for it.

🌾-/Polished 75
Gorgeous and elegant gin-ko🍎🍏.
Such an intoxicatingly good aroma that you can't take your nose away from the glass ❣️
Texture is light.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweet and umami taste of rice spreads out and it is not too dry.
It is not too dry, but has a good acidity that quickly disappears.
There is almost no bitterness, and it has a balanced light and umami taste.
It goes well with meals, and one chopstick after another and one cup after another will not stop.
I'm going to reserve a space for her again for a hot-weather getaway. ‼️💪I'd like to teach this sake to food drinkers 🍶.
Ji's Restaurant 🚩 on Sake Bar Street!
Thank you for your always delicious food and drinks 🍶🍶.
Good evening, Mr. Chidori!
Delicious looking dish - I couldn't help but look it up!
I had to look it up lol
✨Fried freshly seiage⁉︎✨is that right? ⤴︎
Delicious Sake & Namaage!
I think it's the best 😆👍
Good evening, TOMO!
Good sake and snacks make me want to visit... 😋.
Hatsu🐢San, it was delicious 🐢I have to go to the liquor store to scoop goldfish 😆 Kamikame too!
This sake is made in Miyama-cho, Kurume City, along the Chikugo River, one of Fukuoka's most famous sake brewing areas.
Because it is unpasteurized, the alcohol content is a little high at 16 degrees.
It had a very fruity aroma and was so gorgeous that it could have been a Junmai Daiginjo.
A gift from an acquaintance in Fukuoka Prefecture🍶.
This sake is made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The aroma is mild with a hint of green apple🍏.
Voluminous rice flavor: ☺️
The Classic Sake 🍶.
It was delicious.
Thank you for the food.
This daiginjo has a taste that you will never get tired of drinking, with the umami of the rice spreading out!
I feel lonely drinking alone after all...
I saw this at a FUK store.
Kurume Sake
A bottle using black malted rice
Sweet aroma with a soft fragrance
Sourness with a soft texture on the tongue
Richness that passes through the nose
The lingering aroma is like strawberry.
It changes seven times in a moment.
(Yum!
(Wow!
Lunch at a long-established Chinese restaurant with my mother and sister who live nearby, in addition to my family of four, to celebrate my two sons' going to school.
The first toast was beer 🍺, but the next was sake 🍶.
We chose the local Ikegame dry junmai sake!
Fruity aroma with a hint of dryness!
Umami bitterness spreads on the palate and is quickly quenched.
This sharpness goes perfectly with strong flavored Chinese food👍.
It was also a perfect accompaniment to shark's fin and stewed pork 🤗.
Good morning, Haruei Chichi 😃.
I haven't had real Chinese food for a while 🥟🙄I sometimes want to have it 😋 even with Chinese food, sake 🍶 is a stone's throw 👍
Good morning, Chichi 🌈Wow, what a luxurious lunch party ✨We are celebrating W, so I'm sure everyone was delighted 🌸Congratulations 😊A sharp and dry taste for Chinese, you are right 🙆♀️
Good morning, Haruei Chichi 😊It's wonderful to see you and your family at a dinner party. I am always healed by how close your family is. Your mother must be happy to see her grandchildren growing up. The shark's fin and the stewed cubes look delicious 💕.
Good morning, Brother Haruei Chichi 😃.
Happy celebration for your higher education ✨The authentic Chinese food looks delicious 🤤I thought it was Shaoxing sake, but you are drinking Sake 😁A Chinese restaurant with full Sake service is wonderful 😊.
Hi Haruei Chichi 😊
I've only come across Ikegame's Kurokabuto at the right time, and I'm really curious about the dry one! I love that it goes well with Chinese food! I want to drink it 😆.
Hello, Haruei Chichi ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
That's a magnificent shark's fin ✨The black vinegar in the kakuni looks so good and makes me hungry😁.
I haven't done much Chinese x Sake, but the local familiar heated sake seems to go well with it 😆.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi😄
Congratulations ㊗️ Chinese ‼️ I had the unraveled shark fin soup 😭
The figure stew looks so delicious 😋💕 but it's too expensive to order -----😭😭
Good evening Comrade Manachy 🌆.
It's been a long time since I've had shark's fin 😅.
It was a very satisfying dish👍
Ikegame was surprisingly perfect with it too ❗️
Good evening, Yukachin 🌇.
I was pressured by my mother to get excited ❗️
I think it's been a while since I had a proper Chinese meal 😁.
The shark fin was mouthwatering👍
Good evening, good mr. good mr. good 🌆.
Thank you 😊
I got quite excited 😁.
It's a celebration for two, so it's an occasional luxury ❗️
The price was reasonable, but the food and drinks were satisfying enough👍
Good evening, Haruei Chichi 😃!
I've never tried Sake 🍶 with Chinese food but it looks like it would go well with dry 🤗 but you're right, the shark fins are magnificent 😳 I'd love to try the ones that haven't come undone 😆.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi!
Chinese✕ Japanese sake, dry Ikegame goes well with it 😊.
I have only ever paired it with 🍺 or Shaoxing sake. The splendid shark fin looks delicious 🤤.
Good evening, Brother Noodle Wine King 🌆.
Shaoxing wine was not an option 😅
It was a bit chilly day so I was thinking of heating sake 💦.
Ikegame was a perfect complement to the Chinese food 👍.
Good evening, Mr. Tsutsumate!
Ikegame was so sharp that it could catch the fat of Chinese food and washed it away nicely 👍.
Please try it, Tsukitate-san. ❗️
Hi Gyve, good evening 🌇.
Both the shark's fin and the pork belly stew were delicious 🤣.
Ikegame's dry sake is perfect with authentic Chinese food ❗️
It washed away the fatty taste nicely 🤗.
Chichi, my best friend forever, also here: 🙇♂️
The pork stew looks so tasty and the sake is so good 👍!
Shark's fins are the best ✨ and they look great too!
I'd love to try pairing shark's fin with sake ✨☺️
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
If it's dry sake, it goes well with Chinese food there: ❗️
It's been a while since I've had shark fin, but it was worth it👍.
Good morning, Tsuyodai 😃
Well, I don't drink that much so maybe it's not my image 😅...
As I drink more outside, I naturally have more chances to drink local sake. ❗️
Good morning, Manta, my best friend forever 😃.
The pork horn and shark fin were both well seasoned, but the pond turtle was no slouch either: ❗️
It was a great way to take in the food and reset my palate 🤗.
Good evening, Chichi!
I didn't know they serve sake at Chinese restaurants 🤭, but even I look for sake on the menu at restaurants that don't seem to have it 🤣It was a wonderful celebration with everyone including your mother and sister 😊.
Good evening, noble lady Yu🎶.
Yes, I know...
I would have passed if they only had sake from major manufacturers, but fortunately they had local sake on hand so I had to ask 😁.
I think my two sons and of course my mother were happy👍
Haruei Chichi, 😀
What a wonderful time for a family lunch!
The shark's fin is magnificent, and the taste is so delicious!
I would love to try it!
I'd love to try it 😆 and the sake to go with it 😁.
