Fried rice with snow crab and pickled vegetables were served!
The other customers were having a great time, and Waka was as busy as ever!
I had Jikin for the last time and it was time for me to go home!
I found a bottle of Jikin Nama on SNS that was in stock today, so I'm going to pair it with Toyo Bijin!
I had a bottle of Jikin Hi-ire the other day and it lived up to my expectations even more than that!
Delicious!
We stir-fried rice and told Waka that we would be back next year!
The new year starts on the 5th!
I'll have to schedule my visit as soon as possible!
He also told us that there would be sake on offer!
Thank you very much for your hospitality!

I just happened to get a bottle of Jigokin Nigori 🍶(*^^*) Last year I won the lottery and got a Shigou bottle! This year, for some reason, I got a bottle 😁This is one of my favorite sake among all Jigokin ❤I'll spend some happy time for a while _(. _.) _
I bought this in Hong Kong’s Sogo departmenr store, again this is very sweet and stronf aroma kind of sake, with long mellow. It is not easy to buy this these days. ❤️

This Daiginjo-shu won the gold medal at the 2024 National New brew of sake competition. (Intention of the name "Yanase") Jikin's "Daiginjo Yanase" is named with the desire to pass on the history and climate of the region to future generations. Nabari in Mie Prefecture is called Yanase.
A very small amount of brewing alcohol is added to bring out and harmonize the aroma and flavor.
The next one was
Tojo Yamadanishiki🍶 from Jikin
The moment I took a sip, I felt a slight sweetness
and spicy with a hint of sweetness.
It is crisp and clear!
As the temperature rises
As the temperature rises, the acidity comes out and it is refreshing with umami acidity!
A fine shwash~.
Gorgeous and cool aroma like pineapple and green apple.
The sweetness is clear and the acidity is fruity.
The taste is juicy and delicious,
There is a creamy texture on the tongue, which may come from the origami.
It has a light pull with a hint of bitterness.
It is light, creamy, and delicious.
Taste 4/5 stars.
Jikin Daiginjo Yanase
The next one is Yanase.
The liquor store delivered it to us while we were drinking the active sake and we ordered it without hesitation!
We were able to have the first sip 🥳🎉.
The Yanse was poured into a glass and the mellow fruity aroma of apple and pineapple swelled up and the tension went up.
The lonely gourmet in my heart goes wild, saying that this is what I've been waiting for. ☺️
The flavor is a wonderful apple chili with a hint of alcohol 🍎.
The flavor of the rice is so delicious that it lingers on the tongue 🌾.
The balance of sweet and sour is perfect and the sharpness is just like a daiginjo٩٩³(ᐛ )و
I drank it all up in no time at all, and while I still felt like I hadn't had enough to drink, I was heading home hoping to win the lottery.
To my surprise, I won the lottery later that day.
I'll put it in the fridge for the coming day 🥳.
Good morning, Afuio 😃.
Congratulations on your win 🎉I've never had active sake or Yanze, so I'd like to try them once. I have applied for the lottery for Yanse but I guess I won't win 🤔.
Good morning, Afuio!
Yanse from active sake ~ 🎵.
And congratulations on your wish come true and winning 🎉!
I had my first weirse last year and it is a delicious sake 😋.
Good morning ichiro18 😌.
Both the activity and the fish weir were delicious in another vector 🥰.
I was twice happy to have won the bottle from Starbucks 🥳.
The manager said that at Starbucks, a liquor as expensive as fish weir is less likely to be entered!
Good morning, ma-ki-😌.
The activity - weir combo was great 🥳.
I had a good time at Starbucks and after I left, I had a W good time at the winners: ☺️
Weirse is soooo good ‼️
Looking forward to drinking at home✨
Jikin Mie Yamadanishiki Active Sake
I went to drink it the next day after I saw the notice of the opening of the bottle!
It was my first time to drink Jigin, so I was excited to order it 🥳.
The aroma is a modest ginjo aroma.
The aroma was not flashy and drifted softly, and I was worried about my sense of smell because I couldn't feel the gorgeous and fruity aroma typical of Jikin.
After taking a sip, I thought it would be sweet and delicious, so I took a sip.
What is it? It has a light taste.
It has a slight sweetness on the palate, and the sweetness is quickly replaced by a sourness 😳.
I ended up with a bitter finish 🫥.
For some reason, I was in the mouth of sweetness on this day, so I drank it down feeling sorry for the mismatch between the flavor and the sweetness!
I'd like to try it again on a day with a paler mouthfeel: ☺️✨
When I drank it as a food sake, my opinion of it changed completely!
The flavor is quite easy to pair with meals 🍴😋🍴.

Jikin Tokubetsu Junmai Nigori Sake Nama
I drank it again this year because I came across it!
It tastes sweet and "nigori"! It's a very sweet and "nigori" taste!
