This is the second stage of uploading the sake that I purchased on my trip last week.
After Wada Shuzo, I visited Rokkasen.
After this, I went to Ginzan Onsen and bought the regular sake I uploaded earlier and drank it at the ryokan, but I sent this one home.
2024 Harvest Festival Limited Edition Sake, 100% Snow Goddess
Alcohol 16%, Polishing rice 50%.
I will upload the drinking experience separately.
Rokkasen pole thing.
Ummm, yes? A sweet Junmai Ginjo, I guess...
It didn't have much of an impact, so I was at a loss for reaction. I was expecting a stronger impact from the name.
It's delicious, but...
I was expecting something extremely fruity, or something with a lot of sweetness and acidity, or something that was clear to the end...
Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
The last of the 666 hugely bought
Rokkasen's five-step Junmai ❣️
A sweet junmai that seemed to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from the junmai ultra-harsh that I drank earlier🍶.
Usually the malted rice and steamed rice are divided into three stages to make the mash, but this sake is made using the labor-intensive five-stage brewing process.
The sweetness and mellowness that characterize this sake are well 😋.
But as expected from Rokkasen, it has a sweet but refreshing aftertaste. ❣️This is also a nice salty 👌I was told that it is suitable for warming sake, but I preferred the refreshing taste when chilled, so I kept it chilled until the end (lol).
Sarte: ‼️
Hiroto's Yamadanishiki which was not released last year: ❣️
This year it seems to be on sale 😆.
It doesn't seem to be in stock at my local liquor store yet, but you should definitely buy it.
If you've never had it and you don't mind Hiroto, I highly recommend you buy it 🎶.
It's so good 😁.
Good evening, T.KISO 🌃😀 😀
I haven't had Roku Roku Rokkasen since I drank Bakurai Dry +28😊I would like to try sweet Roku Rokkasen too😍The third one, Hirotogawa, is back in Ishikawa and I got it today at Mizukami-san, a sake shop🥳🤛✌️
Good evening, Maecin-san😄.
Rokkasen is going to be a favorite of mine. ❣️
Hiroto Yamada, you got it right away ‼️😁.
That's what Maecin-san is all about👍!
T.KISO, Yamada-Nishiki is out this year. ‼️ I was sad last year why it wasn't out, but I'm glad to hear it. ☺️ We didn't have it in ours yet either, so I'm hoping to get it next weekend 🙌
Good evening, Mr. Manachy😄.
I don't know why you didn't put it out last year, but I'm glad it was shipped successfully this year!
I'm glad to hear that it was successfully shipped this year.
It looks like it will be in stock around tomorrow, so I'm going out to buy some.
Rokkasen Josen's 6 month tatami sound preservation.
It has a mild caged graininess and a hint of alcohol.
It has a smooth and silky texture with a tangy acidity, a gentle umami and sweetness, and a bitter aftertaste.
It can be served cold at room temperature with a variety of Japanese dishes.
Personally, I would pair it with grilled white fish.
When heated, the sweetness becomes a little stronger from sun to human skin, and from lukewarm to top-heat, it starts to become a little more smooth and acidic, and from hot to hot, the acidity starts to stand up.
At 60°C, the acidity is magked but the astringency is felt.
At 40 degrees, it is a little light and round, with a light acidity,
When slightly warmed at 40 degrees, it is a little light and round, with light acidity, and when slightly tasted, the tangy flavor returns, but with a gentle sweetness.
I haven't tried it cold, but I personally like it cold or warmed.
It has a gentle flavor and is a delicious sake that can be drunk at a leisurely pace.
Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
I bought this for the 666 check-in word.
Rokkasen Junmai Super Dry ❣️
I bought it for the photo 📸 picture, but it's pretty good 🎶.
I'm the type of person who can drink both dry and sweet, but lately I'm realizing the benefits of dry even more 😄.
I'm still a dry wine drinker, but lately I'm realizing the benefits of dry wine even more 👌.
Clear mouthfeel and clean taste💕
There are almost no lingering peculiarities, and it flows through the food it's paired with very smoothly and cleanly👍.
Doesn't have much of an aroma.
I tried heating it up, but I would recommend drinking it crisp and chilled 😋.
The third picture
We went to a ramen🍜 shop that I was curious about!
My partner wanted to eat ramen🍜 with a punch of garlic🧄 (lol).
It is a cosy ramen 🍜,
The restaurant is reputed to be delicious no matter what you eat!
I had the miso leek ramen topped with garlic 🧄.
The white one is the garlic 😅❣️ quite a lot of garlic 😅
But I thought it would be a garlic 🧄, but it tastes easy to eat 😋.
The ginger is quite effective in the garlic 👍.
The chashu pork is good and the noodles are great and frizzy🎶Let's go again ‼️
Good evening T.KISO😄Congratulations on your 666 check-in㊗️🎊🎉The spicy taste is still lost on me...💦I hope I can figure it out soon😆Ramen🍜 sounds delicious🤤Garlic is like magic❣️
T.KISO, congratulations on your 666 in. ㊗️㊗️㊗️ I'm not sure if you understood how good the spiciness is, but I also recently got my heart set on spiciness with Abe Kankan, so I end up looking at it when I go to the liquor store 😆👍.
Congratulations to T.KISO for checking in 666 ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️
It's great to have all 6 at Rokkasen, and not only that, but the sake inside is delicious as well ☺️
Thanks also for the ramen terror 🤤It helps to see it in the middle of the night 🧄.
Good morning, T.KISO!
And congratulations on your 666 check-in 🎉.
I can't believe you pushed for 3 bottles of [6] sake 😲.
Still, I can't buy "No6" 💦.
The ramen looks delicious 🍜.
Hi T.KISO 😃
We too can go for both dry/sweet 😚 but lately we are leaning towards dry! We are exactly the same... I guess you call us drinkers 😆 Rokkasen! I think we'd like this one 😋.
Yay - the amount of garlic 🧄 is 👍!
Thank you very much, HinaHanaMama 😊.
I think it goes surprisingly well with oily food, even if you don't like dry 🎶My daughter, who likes sweet, said it was delicious the other day when she paired it with grilled mackerel 😘.
Garlic is the best👍❣️
Thank you, Wakata 😊.
Abekan is also a good dry sake ❣️
I think you might find out what you like if you try a variety of junmai or honjozo....
It's better to drink what you want to drink though 🤣.
Thank you Aladdin 😊.
My main choice was Rokusyu, but the Rokkasen I bought just for the sake of the word was also delicious ❣️ I feel like I got something out of it lol.
I love ramen 🍜, so I'll keep terrorizing you 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
Yes 🎶I think you two will like the taste of this Rokkasen: 💕︎😊
The garlic 🧄 was more than I expected, but there was also quite a bit of ginger in it 😋.
Good evening, T.KISO 🐥.
666 CI㊗️ congratulations🎊
It's cool that you're going to have them in sixes. 👏🏻 I can't get enough 🧄 of ramen and spicy green onions 🤤.
A mellow aroma that passes through the nose. A perfect match for the best encounter!
Thank you, liquor store!
I heard that this product was developed by young people for young people.
I'm an old man, but it's delicious! I also like the excitement of opening the seal!

In an independent survey and hearing by students, the results showed that many students voiced opinions such as "I don't have a chance to drink sake in the first place," "I don't get the impression that I am a young person," and "The label design makes it hard to pick up. In addition to the above factors, the renewal proceeded in a way that inherited the concept of "sake that changes with the seasons" that the brewery's hidden sake has.
On a trip to Yamagata Prefecture, we were given a tour of the Rokkasen brewery and purchased this sake there.
Although it is sweet, it has a clean aftertaste. While it is clean, it does not feel full and lacking in body. It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink.
The other Junmai Ginjo I bought from this brewery, called MUGEN, is very fruity, so it tastes a bit limp compared to that. Both are delicious!
