One of my favorite bottles of Jikin, which is my personal No. 1 or 2 favorite among all Jikin bottles.
Last year I was not selected in the lottery, but this year luck was on my side!
Since it was left in the fridge for a little while, I could feel the smooth sweetness and flavor of Sake Mirai more intensely, and the elegant aroma is still there, so it is very addictive!
Hi, ma-ki-!
I am lucky if I win Jikin once or twice a year by lottery every time, so I am glad that I won the sake future. I would like to compare the sake at any izakaya that sells Jikin.
It has a fruity aroma, a soft mouthfeel, and the flavor of rice.
I think it would go well with chicken dishes, although this is partly because my pick-me-up happened to be a charcoal-grilled chicken salad.
This year's Jikin is also good 😋.
Sake of January. We opened a bottle of Jikin, which we had kept in stock. It is fruity with a hint of sourness. The taste is stable. Sashimi of Shirakawa sea bream and steamed mahata with sake were served as snacks. It is the best.
For the record. I used this place for a meeting of the association. It is "Harunari" in Kokubuncho. This app did not allow me to choose the location. It was my first time to visit there. I heard it is a restaurant that does not accept first-time visitors. An object like a door that you can't enter? It was a little strange, but the food and drinks were delicious.
fruity flavor
Fruity aroma, smooth attack. Taste: fruity and delicious. It goes in smoothly and is light and full-bodied.
Whenever I am told that Jikkai is available, I automatically order it.
It was my first time to try Jikin! It was very juicy and fresh even though it was fire-aged. ♥️
It is moderately rich and has a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness!
I was going to drink it carefully, a little at a time, but it was so delicious that I finished it right away😍 lol

This sake has a very good balance of the five tastes. The taste is clear and clean, although you can enjoy the umami of the rice without any of the flavors being assertive.
I had a chance to drink it at home. It was a very satisfying sake even if you consider it as a 3,000 yen jun-dai, but I guess the overwhelming brand power along with Jyushiyo makes it an explosion of satisfaction. To put it in a colloquial way, I am drinking the sake that everyone wants at home at a fixed price, and it makes me feel good.
I have the impression that I have only seen the Chinese character for "而今" in Chinese characters, but on a smartphone, you can find it more quickly by searching for "じ" (じ).
