Well, well, well, well... We never miss it at Nigori every year, and we definitely aim to get it at home. Sieg Jikin👍!
I'm so happy to be able to drink Jikin at home from the New Year 😀.
Finally, it's the last day of work. I don't know when I took a break 🤣Well, it was a long time. I was so absorbed in work that I don't know when I took a break.
Well, I never forgot to drink sake even for a moment 🤣.
I got this from my boss for working so hard on a daily basis. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not 🙇.
He gave me a rare sake like this 🙇. My executive director, who is very well-connected, always gets me the most amazing sake, wine, etc.
I'd love to know about it 😆. I'd love to know about them 😆🙏.
But even if I open a bottle, I still have the same one I got at home this year waiting for me, so I'll open that one in a little while 🤔.
I had an intoxicating experience 😋.
Of course, it was the most delicious muddy sake I've ever tasted 🍶.
I bought it when I visited one of my favorite liquor stores at the end of the year 😊.
I never thought I'd see the day when I could sip it at home. ‼️
It has a light acidity with a sweetness that is not unpleasant.
It had a freshness to it that made it so delicious!
I wish you all the best this year 🍀*!
Work starts tomorrow.
The last of the year-end and New Year vacations will be concluded with a metaphysics.
Jikin has a fruity image, but this one gives the impression of being relatively calm.
It is suitable for a mealtime drink, I guess.
It is a draft sake, but I would like to enjoy the change in taste after a while.
☀️
Since it's New Year's, we opened a bottle of Jigokin, which we had carefully kept warm... or rather, carefully chilled 🤗.
The sweet aroma is clear from the moment the bottle is opened.
On the palate, a light sweetness with a noble taste. ☺️
It is sweet like melon🍈 or white peach🍑.
Thanks to the slight carbonation🫧, it is mild and refreshing.
The ginjo aroma is also rich and the aroma is very satisfying.
As the temperature rises, the mildness comes forward and becomes more rounded.
In the calm time of New Year's, I could enjoy Jikkom to my heart's content 🤗.
Hi ichiro18 😃
Was that a great quote 😁 thanks to the calm time of New Year. I feel less guilty if I drink during the daytime, so I can face my drinking properly 🤣.
Happy New Year, Hiro-san! I would like to pay my respects to Hiro-san's Masamune Hunter. Ishikawa has Fuku Masamune and Tedorigawa Masamune. I will try to find out if there are any others. My hidden theme for this year is to look for cranes and turtles. Thank you for your continued support.
Happy New Year, WOM 🎍 I look forward to working with you in the future as well 🙇♂️
It is an honor to be respected by Masamune hunters 😌.
The cranes and turtles seem to have a wide range 😄.
Hi Hiro, good evening 🌙
I got a chuckle from the first sentence 😆I'm not sure how to express myself there 🤣.
I want to open a good one and enjoy it because it's New Year's when I can relax more than usual 🥳 but it looks delicious 🥳 ‼️
Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
I was warming up in terms of feelings but cooling down in terms of drinking 🤣I'm glad you can relate Kotaro 😆.
I was able to relax at home on New Year's, so I had a good drinking time: ☺️
I had a glass of Nigori.
It is mild and fruity.
It is delicious cold again.
Nigori with Jikin.
It must be good.
I think I used to think nigori was delicious even when I was not so good at sake.
Happy New Year!
I had a glass of Jikin nigorizake raw.
Delicious, so delicious, so delicious...,
I've had a lot of nigorizake, but this one has a really good balance!
Good aroma in the nose and a very good balance of sweetness and umami!
I'm glad I stood in line for 3 hours from 7am...
I'm glad I happened to be able to drive there to get it 😆.
Happy New Year, haru🎍.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Jikin-sama's nigori is really delicious 😋.
Three hours is a lot of work 💦.
I'm looking forward to another year of great sake encounters 🤗.
Encounter at the Holy Land
Sweetness ahead, full of umami, a little sourness
Delicious sake!
Personally, I prefer this to the Aizan Junmai Ginjo I had the other day!
Delicious!
The intense sweet-sourness of the Muscat class rushes in, but in the second half, a sharpness like a flash sweeps everything away.
This gap between "dense flavor" and "super-fast withdrawal" is the quintessence of Jikin. Once you drink it, you will never go back.
Specifications
Brand name: Jikon Special Junmai Orikagarami Nama
Sake Brewer : Kiyamasa Shuzo (Nabari City, Mie Prefecture)
Here is what makes it so special! This is a super-fresh bottle, manufactured in December 2025. The rice composition is 80% Gohyakumangoku and 20% Yamadanishiki. The gorgeousness of Yamadanishiki and sharpness of Ihyakumangoku are perfectly combined by "ori".
Pairing Suggestion: This "strong sharpness" is best served with dishes that have a slightly salty or mineral flavor. Oysters marinated in oil, crab miso, or, from the atmosphere of the snacks in the photo, saikyo-yaki grilled white fish, would pair perfectly with the sweetness of the oriki!
Yesterday, we watched the annual Hakone Ekiden near Yokohama Station 👀the first sale around the station, then returned home and paid a visit to a local shrine for the first time 🙏 and had zoni in the evening.
I make it Kanto style, soy sauce based, with boiled rice cake instead of baked 😊.
And then we had some 而今 nigori that I won at the end of the year in a raffle ✨.
When opening the bottle, the gas was so strong that it spilled a little 😅.
You can smell the mild sweet fruity aroma and the aroma of rice. You can feel the gas, and the fruity sweetness gives way to a full-bodied umami, mild acidity, which disappears along with the gas.
The aroma is citrus and banana🍌. My impression is almost the same as when I drank it outside 🤔.
I'm going to try heated sake as well since it's a house drink.
Lukewarm Warmed It has a mild sweetness that spreads, but it also has a sharpness to it. Makes my throat hot ✨.
Hot sake: After the sharp sweetness, it gets zingy, but loses its sharpness.
It has the same mild sweetness as the lukewarm sake, but it has no sharpness. The aroma has a banana-like quality.
I'm going on a two-day/one-night car trip to Fukui starting at midnight today, and I'm worried about the snow, but I'm going to enjoy it ✨.
ichiro18, Happy New Year 🎍.
I see that you were able to watch the Ekiden. I also watched and relayed the race to my classmates in high school and college in several places. It's great to start the year 🥳To Fukui, take care 🤗.
Hello ichiro18😃
Jikin nigori heated up ♨️😳The luxury of drinking at home 😁It seems that good sake can be heated up 😋.
Have a nice trip to Fukui, be careful of the snow ❄️
Hello, ichiro18!
Oh, it's good to watch the Hakone Ekiden live 🎵
And the Jigokin Sake Nigori 😍You've enjoyed it in many ways this year too 😋.
I hope you have a safe trip to Fukui and enjoy your sake activities 🤗.
Happy New Year, Takashi 🎍🌅I'd love to be there to watch the game on site 👀It would be fun to find my classmates on TV 🎍🌅Thank you for the great opportunity to open up 而 now too✨!
Hi Hiro 😃
I knew I had enough to try different kinds of sake, even jikin I made it heated 😁 it tastes good even heated 🥰Thank you 😊I will be careful not to have any accidents only at the beginning of the year👍.
Hi ma-ki-😃
Watching the game there is fleeting as it goes by so fast 😁Nigori is delicious even when heated so I enjoyed the luxury of trying it 🍶I would love to do some sake activities but it's with my family so I'll buy it when I can stop by 😊.
ICHIRO18, drinking Jigokin Nigori Sake at home‼️ quintessence👏✨Thanks for watching the Hakone Ekiden, on site! Aogaku is too egregious🏃♀️I guess there's some drinking waiting for you in Fukui, too! Take care!
Good evening, Afio 😃.
I did it thinking I could do it if it's special pure 🍶It's been hard to hit the metaphysical now but finally 💦I wonder how many bottles I can drink this year🤔Thank you 😊I'll go there slowly!
Good evening, Shikatarou 😃.
I was able to drink 2 bottles at home during the New Year's holiday, so I would like to drink again if I have a chance 🍶Hakone is still strong for Aogaku 😳I will drink alone in Fukui if I have a chance 🍶I guess taking out is more reliable 🤔.
Good evening 🌙, ichiro18!
Congratulations on your winning house drink 🎊 As expected of ichiro18, it was well reviewed and reminds me of how delicious it was: ☺️
I hope you enjoyed Awara Onsen as well 👍✨.
Good evening, Kotaro!
Thank you very much 😊I know it's not the best way to describe it, but I tried it 😁I knew it would be delicious 😍Awara Onsen was a good hotel thanks to you ✨I finally made it home just now 😅.
Jikin Junmai Ginjo Hachitan Nishiki Nama
Rating 4.5
Rice: Hachitan-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima, Polishing ratio: 50%, Alcohol: 15.5%.
Hachitan-Nishiki is used as the raw material rice, and its unique charm of a medium type sake stands out.
The palate is filled with fruit nuances such as tangerine, white peach, and mango, which stand out among "Jikin", followed by a beautiful sweetness and umami. The moderate acidity adds to the taste, harmonizing perfectly with the complex flavor of the rice itself.
