First series in ten years
I don't think I've ever been so excited about this, but..,
Gassy and sweet! The aroma is strong.
Moderate acidity, fruity, delicious!
It has a happy aftertaste!
I see, this is Jikin!
I like it!
The winners are fried chicken wings (rice flour 3:potato starch 1) and shrimp crackers!
I know this is back and forth, but today is my birthday and I would like to finally get my hands on my Jikin collection 😋.
I was lucky enough to buy two more bottles of another kind recently, but I remembered the only one I had dabble in, Hakutsuru Nishiki, and pulled it out of the collection freezer 🥳.
The aroma is quite to my liking, with a gentle muscat and pear-like ginjo aroma 😆.
Here's a sip!
It's mmmmmm... ‼️ It seems to be mellower than when I drank it before.
It has a clean and refreshing mouthfeel, with a refined sweetness of rice spreading on the palate, and yet it also has a fruity taste like muscat, and the acidity finishes it off....
One word to describe this wine is "wonderful".
It's not too sweet, but has a strong acidity, and I personally think it's great as a mealtime sake or on its own.
It's like a similar sake to my favorite Oumine-san? 🤔
I'm still going to work hard on my sake drinking even though there are only a few days left in this year 🥳.
Good evening, Ofio 😃.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉
I went to buy the Hakutsuru Nishiki Jikin once but it was sold out 😅That's great that you have a tab for it 😍Let's have another year of good sake life!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Afio 🎉!
Isn't it great to celebrate your birthday with Jikin👍!
Hakutsuru-nishiki is available once a year, though I also have a chance to get it. It's the best birthday present to myself 😆.
Good evening ichiro18😊.
Thank you 🥳.
I happened to win the lottery twice this year so I dabble 🥰.
I probably ran out of luck for next year😇 lol.
Let's try to get each other drinking again next year ‼️😆
Good evening, Swissisusan: ☺️
Thank you 🥳.
I wasn't sure what to drink, but I opened it because I wanted to celebrate my birthday with Jijin 😆✨.
Hakutsuru Nishiki is a rare find, isn't it?
It was the best birthday ever ✨
Happy Birthday, Mr. Afio 🎉🎂🎂!
You celebrated with a nice sake 👍Hakutsuru Nishiki itself is rare, so two bottles of Hakutsuru Nishiki is great 😳I wish you luck with sake in this year too 🙏✨.
Happy birthday 🎂, Afio 🎉!
This is the only day to open a bottle of Jikin! It's like ⭐️ good sake and good celebration ㊗️ let's enjoy another year of sake life 😊!
Happy Birthday, Afio 🎂🎉🍶!
I can't wait to celebrate with my very own Jishin Hakutsuru Nishiki 🤤!
I just realized that there are only 3 months left in this year😳!
Let's continue our drunken drinking activities until the end of the year! 😊🍶
Thank you so much, Pon 🥳✨
I happened to be lucky enough to get the second one, so I took the plunge and opened it: ☺️
I hope I win the lottery next year too😱 lol
I hope we both have good luck with alcohol this year and next year ☺️✨
Thank you, Hiro 😆✨
I opened a big bottle of it because I was saving it for this day 🥳.
I'm still going to be doing sake activities this year as well.
Let's enjoy each other's company 😆👍
Thank you, Aladdin. ☺️✨
I didn't have the courage to open a bottle of Hakutsuru-Nishiki, but when I did, I'm glad I did because it was the best I've ever tasted 🥳.
There are only a few days left, Aladdin, but let's finish the year with a drunken drinking activity: ☺️👍
Good evening, Mr. Afio!
Happy Birthday 🎉!
Celebrating with Jikin-sama's home drinking 😁✨✨.
And your review looks too good 🤤!
Let's continue to enjoy drinking 🤗
Good evening, ma-ki-😌.
Thank you ☺️✨
I thought it was extravagant of me to celebrate with Jikin-sama 🥳.
Unlike the last time, this time I was able to savor it more fully so I could write about it in detail 😋.
Let's have a lot of fun 😆✨
Modest, elegant, delicate, fruity aroma.
The acidity is quite strong, which is not found in other Jikin, and it disappears after the mid-palate (after a few days, the acidity at the mouth is quite mild).
The sweetness and umami are mild throughout, and the back palate has a strong umami with depth, which is typical of sake.
I feel that this is a sake that should be paired with expensive kaiseki dishes.
Without any preconceptions, it is a sake that adds color to special occasions.
It is expensive, so even if I could buy it, I wouldn't repeat drinking it at home.
4.50
The balance of sweetness, depth and fruity is as good as it gets! I love the sweetness of the rice when you drink it, including the feeling of not having a nasty sake taste that lingers on your tongue!
Luckily, the second bottle of Jishin is on its way home!
I will have it with sushi on a good day.
The elegant mouthfeel makes you feel like you are drinking a top quality sake. The deep flavor of rice disappears as it seeps into your throat, and if you eat sushi with it, there is no need for words.
I wish you another good day 🙏.
I tried drinking trendy Japanese sake.
Fruity with a hint of muscat
It is very easy to drink with its elegant sweetness.
The sweetness does not linger on the tongue, so I finished it right away!
