This is an outstandingly delicious sake, and my friend purchased it around April of this year. It was kept at room temperature for a while, but after refrigeration, the wonderful flavor was enhanced and the taste was clean yet robust. It is indeed a tokkagami omachi!

This Daiginjo-shu won the gold medal at the 2024 National New brew of sake competition.
One sip and the delicate aroma and rich flavor will brighten your senses. Yamada-Nishiki, sweet and mellow. To the elegant sugar candy style. Delicious in an orthodox way.
I have wanted to try this sake for a long time. There were only a few stores that carried it, and I was finally able to find it. It was advertised as having a juicy flavor, but I was not that impressed, and the sake had a natural taste.

It has a clear, mature sweetness that reminds me of ripe fruit or cotton candy 😊.
It is balanced by a slight bitterness at the end, and the sweetness is not all-encompassing, which is typical of Jikkoman. ☺️

Mouthfeel is sweet and fruity. Fruity and lingering finish is deliciously astringent. Firm. Delicious.
The last drink. The proprietor served each of the three of us a glass of premium sake. I had the Jikin. Asahitaka, Akabu Kohaku, and all of them were great. They must have been delicious. That was the end of the party.
Today is the supermoon🌕.
But I can't see it because of bad weather.
Last year's Jishin no Nabari ‼️
It's hard to open good sake, but it's a full moon 🌕👍
It's too good to be true: ‼️
It has a nice aroma and just the right amount of sweetness. It is a well-balanced sake that does not interfere with food as a food wine, but it also asserts its flavor. It is a bit pricey, but the quality is well worth it.
The taste is sweet and spicy at the same time! It's sharp on the tongue, yet sweet like a muscat. The taste is sharp on the tongue, yet sweet like a muscat. Delicious 😋🍶.
It has been a long time since I have tasted Jikin.
The aroma is fruity and gorgeous, with a pear-like ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is soft and juicy, with a good balance of umami and acidity. The aftertaste is crisp, but the umami remains. It is delicious.
KENKEN-san Jikin-sama's Tokubetsu Junmai is delicious 🤤The aroma is irresistible as well as the taste, isn't it? And the balance of the sake is also great 😋😋.
