It was a little astringent at first, but became fruity from the second day.
This is the kind of sake I learned to drink when I worked in Yamagata, and while there are many sweet sake, this kind is just fine!
It is also cosy and is a brand that is rapidly gaining popularity.
Full expression of unfiltered unpasteurized sake
The label is always a little noisy lol.................................
Maybe my own taste has changed, or maybe I don't like the sweetness as much as I used to.
The last of the sake purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
The first half is fruity and sweet, typical of Eiko-Fuji, but the second half is bitter and complex.
I think it is less sweet than other Eiko-Fuji, and the taste is a little different from other Eiko-Fuji.
Maybe because it is made with Jinriki, it has a little bit of the atmosphere of a strong sake from the Himeji area, like Ryu-ryoku or Yukihikozan.
Rice: Yuyamanishiki (Toyama Prefecture)
Polishing ratio 50%.
Yeast: Yamagata yeast

The first glass was made by Kangiku, therefore, this is the second glass, aromatic but clear! Water!
Yet it is also acidic and enjoyable.

Eikou no Alchemist
Eiko's Alchemist has a graceful, smooth flavor and a fragile yet dignified brilliance that can be felt in the aftertaste. In the center of the label is the "Sefirot tree," the "concept of the world" in Kabbalah thought, with Eiko-Fuji in English beside "Hod = Eikoh" in the lower left, the eighth sefirah. This is the work of an alchemist who has refined the best sake rice, Yamada-Nishiki, into the finest junmai daiginjo!
This gem is brewed from Yamada-Nishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing.
While aromatic and refreshing, it also has a dignified body and will go well with a wide range of Japanese food.
Tomorrow will be my 9th consecutive holiday 😊.
But I don't plan to do anything in particular _(:3)_.
So we opened this bottle to celebrate the joyous occasion before the holidays 🍾.
According to the brewer, it's for celebrations and joyous occasions, so I thought now would be the perfect time to drink it ✨.
The first thing I smelled was a calm, fruity aroma (I couldn't really detect the specific fruit aroma 😅).
First sip, I felt the acidity has a strong impact 🤔.
Then immediately after, the beautiful sweetness and fruity aroma spread, and the weighty sweetness and acidity are well balanced and elegant 😋.
It has the umami of rice, the aroma of koji (malted rice), and the feeling of chili gas, but it is not too heavy nor too light. It is a well-balanced and beautiful sake, and the last taste is clean and beautiful without any bitterness or miscellaneous tastes!
This is delicious!
Eikoufuji, I became a fan at once 😊.
They seem to have a variety of sakes, so if I get the chance, I'll be sure to target them in the future 👀.
Good evening, Chirsta 😄.
I actually like Eiko-Fuji too 😍Sweet and sour, juicy and fruity, so many of them are ❣️
I especially recommend the nigori type in winter👍.
Please try to drink a variety of them ☺️
Enjoy your 9 consecutive holidays 🤗
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
The label is stylish and sweet and juicy and great 😋.
I see what you mean, it's nigori! Thank you ✨I'm rocking it 👀.
Looks like we'll just be going back to my parents house in Nagasaki for 9 straight holidays 😂.
Hello, Chirsta!
9 holidays in a row is a moderately long time 🎵
I'm sure you must be excited to see what kind of sake you'll be drinking 😁✨✨.
Eikoufuji seems like a beautiful sake 😋!
Sake with a good balance is always good 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌝.
It's nice to have a break, but I have no plan 😅I'm not sure if it's a good balance, but I think all the drinks I've had so far that tasted good were well balanced 🤔.
It is a very local product, but it does not seem to be a local product.
The aroma is mild but fruity, with a hint of kiwi or muskmelon.
When you drink it, it is a little melon-like, but it also has the umami of rice, and the alcohol is not prominent.
As it nears room temperature, the rice flavor and sharpness are present, and it approaches a mellow feeling.
It is good. It is like a light, orthodox, ordinary junmai sake, and has no alsophilic feel.
Our standard, stable Glorious Fuji
It has a fruity aroma with a refreshing flavor and sweetness.
It is a sake that you sometimes want to drink in a wine glass instead of a cup.
Serve with sausages
A few days with a lot of forgetting to raise. Tired?
Limited! So many "Eiko-Fuji" again!
Still, I'm going to drink...gorgeous ones!
The aroma is fruity, but it has a clear, luxurious feeling.
Lychee or passion fruit?
A clear, dewy drop.
It has a full yet smart mouthfeel.
Although I think it is sometimes said that it is a "good sake," it conveys an air of sophistication,
It conveys an atmosphere of sophistication.
Taste 4/5
