My usual junior brought it to me on Sunday ☺️ so! He said he still had a few bottles in stock 🤤 and said, "Let me know when you're ready. I'll open it for you." So I couldn't wait until the weekend and drank it flying 🍶.
The first aroma is fruity and clearly pineapple 🍍but not too strong ✨The sweetness comes on the palate but the acidity and bitterness from the umami boosts it up and gives it a nice kick 😋The immediate impression in the mouth is that it could stand alone but the dry bitter acidity in the finish reminds me of a food wine 🤔and then you taste the sweetness again. I want to taste the sweetness again and ask for the next cup 🤤It's still delicious ❣️
Hi Nao888 🐦.
Here it is! Jikin-kun 😆 still awesome as always 😳Great junior ✨.
I like a lot of Hachitan-Nishiki sake, so I'd like to try some of Jikin's 😻
Sieg Jikin❣️
Hi Nao888!
There you go again - your ability to get juniors is truly amazing 😲.
I can't forget the shock I felt when I first had a taste of Jikin's Hachitan-Nishiki 😋.
I can't stop drinking Jikin-sama - Jikin Jikin ❣️
Good evening, Nao888😄.
Interesting that you bring half 🤣.
I wonder when I will get mine 🥺.
I've been thinking lately...
Jikin-kun, I think you might be the toji of Jikin's brewery 🤔.
Hi Nao888 😃
Nice teacher-disciple love as always 🥹.
If it comes to this 🤔 half Jikin followed by... 30% Shinsei and 20% Kamerei might be possible 😅.
We are 100% Tochigi sake 🥰, we can deliver it to you 😆.
Hi Pon-chan 🌞He's a really nice guy. ☺️ I think this is my first time drinking Hachitan-Nishiki sake, but I found it to be very refreshing and umami (flavorful) 😋.
Hi ma-ki-San 🌞You're right, the first sip of Jikin-sama's Yatan-nishiki is quite a shocking level of deliciousness 🤤I'm too grateful that you're getting it at the right time even though I didn't state it 🍶.
Hi HinaHanaMama, 🌞He said the reason why it is half is because he has to tell the liquor store what he thinks of it ☺️ He is not a toji but a father and son second generation drinker who is in love with the liquor store 😆 He is a nice guy so maybe it will reach HinaHanaMama soon 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞I'm like an apprentice in sake, so I feel like I'm receiving charity 🤣30% Shinmasa and 20% Kamerei is a charm 🤤 and Manma Tochigi sake is even more charm🤤💕.

It has a mild yet refreshing aroma with a slight pineapple and citrus flavor. The convergence is also moderately sharp.
The "now" of the moment.
After two years of sake brewing under Tajima Toji, the 6th generation brewer named the sake "Jikin",

The word "Jikin" means "now" in Japanese,
The word "Ji-Kon" means "to live the present moment to the fullest, without being bound by the past or the future.
We cannot change the "past" that has passed, and we do not know what will happen in the "future.
However, there are times when we can change and understand. It is "now," this moment.
For weekend drinking at home... I will open a bottle of Asahi🌅 from my personal Hall of Fame brand Jikin😁.
Actually, I've had a lot of Jikin, but this Asahi is the first time for me 😅.
So...with high expectations✨
Open it ......?
The aroma doesn't seem that strong... 💧.
I've drunk many different kinds of sake, including Omachi, Hachitan, Yamadanishiki, Sake Mirai... but none of them had the same aroma as "this is it! I drank many of them, but all of them had "Jikin" aroma...but I wonder if Asahi is more reserved ❓😓.
The aroma is not so strong when poured into a glass 🤔.
I'm going to take a sip 😏....
Here it is... ‼️
Among the many Jikin, it has a softer flavor with less assertiveness...it's like it's something else 🥰.
A moderate apple-like taste 👌.
The quality of the sake is clean and doesn't interfere with the flavor of the food itself ✨.
And yet, the aftertaste and sharpness that disappears soooo quickly is unstoppably delicious 😍.
Jikin has always been my favorite brand, but this Asahi is something else. 🙂↕️
I have an image that it is generally gorgeous and has a strong aroma and sweet taste, but Asahi has a feeling of elegant taste with a refreshing finish 😋.
After all, Jikin... is delicious ......🤤
Day 2: 🗒️
The sweetness and umami that is typical of Jikin has skyrocketed ⏫.
The first day was calm and refreshing on the first day, but it changed drastically on the second day 🥰.
Hats off to you ✨!
Good evening, Mr. Koiing Gull!
The review of Jikin-sama's Asahi - it looks too good to be true 🤤.
Jikin-sama's aroma and taste are all blissful 😋😋.
I always say "yum" when I drink it 😁✨✨.
I would love to drink Asahi again 🤗
Good evening, ma-ki.
The great thing about Jikin is that no matter what you drink, it's always consistent 😁.
In my opinion, it is one of the brands I would recommend especially to those who don't usually drink sake 🥰.
After work, I was wandering around by myself and found an izakaya where you can drink Jikkai ‼️🍶.
I was sucked into the bar and ordered it. It had a melon-like fruitiness! Easy to drink and goes well with any food. It was a very good sake!
