This sake has a soft sweetness and a wonderful acidity that seems to seep in gradually.
Yes, it is a delicious sake.

もみたそ
I bought this sake as a souvenir from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The owner did not recommend it, but I bought it because of its name and appearance. It is a pure sake, so it is not crystal clear and leaves a strong aftertaste, but that is what makes it so good. But it is good. (How can I say it is like a "Kaimo" shochu?). It is easy to drink because of its refreshing taste.

Izakaya Shinkansen
After three days of work in Yamaguchi, and a good response from the customers, all that's left is to enjoy Izakaya Shinkansen 🥳.
But, as I had feared, there was no time for shopping 😱.
All the box lunches in the souvenir shop were sold out!
In the end, I got almost everything at the Seven inside the ticket gate.
But since I could predict this situation, I bought a bottle of sake at the supermarket the day before yesterday.
I usually go for two bottles of Sandesi, but I decided to go for one because I drank too much the day before 😝.

SANTOUKA Honjozo
I've had a few santouka, but this is my first!
It's very robust.
It leaves a tangy taste on the tongue.
The alcohol content is only 15%, so it feels a little stronger.
Does it have a hint of alcohol? But it's also a little bit strong.
I'm closing up store in Shin-Osaka today 😂.

Hi Takashi 😃
Thanks for your business trip 🙇♀️ Izakaya Shinkansen, I didn't have time to comment now 🙏 Even with the Seven procurement, a brilliant table overhang! Great list of dishes too 😆.
Looking forward to the next Izakaya Shinkansen: ❣️

Hi HinaHanaMama 😊.
It's great to get your comments, but you don't have to push yourself so hard when you're that busy 😘.
When I think it's almost 23:00 when I get home, I buy a lot of things, thinking I might not have enough 🤣.

Hi Pon 😊
The reason I wrote "almost all Seven" is because I bought only this bract cake at the souvenir shop outside the ticket gate 😘I found it at a Uiro store, a famous Yamaguchi confectionery. I don't know if this one is famous or not 🤣 it was gone in one bite!

We were allowed to drink it at a product exhibition in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Sake meter value is +2 and acidity is 2.0, but the aftertaste is crisp and easy to drink!

I didn't realize how close the Kanmon Strait is 😲I had a one-cup of Yamatohka for lunch 🍶I love being drunk from noon on 😳.

Hi, Mr. Noodle Sake King 🌛.
Is this [Mojiyaki Curry]! As a curry lover, I can't miss it 🥰.
It's so nice to have a "santouka" with a view of the sea, which is different from Hokkaido 🤣.

別府の酒飲み
Private brand of Fujimura Sake Brewery in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture
The sake is named after a local poet and the owner of the brewery.
We bought a 300ml bottle to try, as it is a traditional brand that has been commissioned to be brewed continuously for 26 years.
The ginjo aroma is mild, and you don't even notice it on the palate.
But I did not expect to find such a beautiful sake in Yamaguchi.
Toyo Bijin, Tenbi, and other gorgeous brands are popular,
This sake is a perfect representative of Yamaguchi as a food sake.

If you see a brand you have never had before, you are sick of not being able to stop drinking it.
◉Santouka Junmai Ginjo
This one also has an impressive sourness and acidity, which later tightens up with acidity, followed by a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
I knew I was going to get too drunk and feel dangerous, so I decided to use a dispensing cup. It was nice to be given a paper cup (vomit container) to hang around my neck.

We are going to drink thoroughly unknown breweries 😁.
Yamaguchi City's Kinko's Yamatohka
Polishing ratio 55% Yamadanishiki 15
Sake degree -1.0, Acidity 1.8, List price 1600 yen
It has a clean, classic taste, but it is easy to drink without any habits.
It is good during a meal. It tastes like it won't interfere with a meal.

Went to a sake brewery in Yamaguchi last month and bought it.
(Thank you kindly even though I went there almost out of the blue 🙇 )
Bought this year's freshly made, but it's been a while (not that freshly made doesn't taste great)
SANTOUKAI Junmai Ginjo
100% Yamadanishiki
Soft with a hint of acidity.
Because it's a cold sake, it's clear and refreshing.
It is quite gentle.
Slightly sweet
It doesn't interfere with your meal.
The atmosphere of the brewery and the people who helped me were unpretentious without being overbearing (my own image 😁), but the sake also seems to be a little similar 😆 (my imagination 😝)

Shin-Yamaguchi business trip (3) Shinkansen
On the way back from Shin-Yamaguchi, I visited Izakaya Shinkansen after a long time 😆.
Drinking Sandesi that I got yesterday at Kinko's Sake Brewery,
I asked if they had 300ml of this at the brewery yesterday. I asked if they had a 300ml bottle of the Junmai Ginjo that I bought in a 4-quart bottle, so I asked if they had a different one. The one they brought out was still freshly made! The label was still fresh! I was so excited 😁.
I told him it was fine if it didn't have a label on it (it's rare), but he said no, he called someone and went to the trouble of putting it on (thanks 🙇 ).
mountain travel, water travel, and water travel
A little sweet and sour.
I remember that the last time I drank it, it was a little more dry and refreshing, maybe because it was cold sake.
But this one is not so called sweet, but I can feel the sweetness of the rice.
It's a nice taste!
This time, I brought a glass (ochoko size) as a strong helper 🤣🤣.
The possibility of having someone next to you increases as you go from Hiroshima to Okayama to Kobe. I'm a bit nervous😅😅

Shin-Yamaguchi business trip (1) Kanemitsu Brewery
The day before, I had no special plans, so I arrived in Yamaguchi a little early and went to the Kinko's Sake Brewery (one stop from Shinzanguchi), which I thought would be a good place to visit.
I was allowed to sample some 🍶 and was told to "take your pick from this list" 😆! I was so excited 😆.
Nigori
First impression, dark! This cloudy dark!
Of course it is sweet!
Junmai Ginjo
Beautiful, delicious, soft acidity and sweetness!
ZORRO
This is another beautiful sake, but a little different from Junmai Ginjo.
It has more acidity and fruity taste than Junmai Ginjo.
Daiginjo
Even clearer and more beautiful.
I had called in advance (but an hour before) and felt bad that the person at the brewery had to deal with me. But they treated me well! 🙇.
The nigori and junmai ginjo are new sake, and the other sake are this year's. The bottles are ready, but will be bottled after tomorrow. It's ready, but they say it will be bottled after tomorrow. I bought a freshly made Junmai Ginjo because I wanted to try it. There were also some other rare sake (aged sake) that I couldn't decide which to buy..,
I also bought a 300ml bottle for the Shinkansen at Izakaya. I also bought a 300ml bottle for the Shinkansen (bullet train).

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
When you have so many bottles lined up for you to choose from, you'd think it was an all-you-can-drink place 🤣 (not true!).
It's a bokkiri, but it was a kind brewery 🥰.
