Refreshing sake to have on a Tuesday dinner. It has a nice aroma on the nose, fruity mouthfeel and ended with a crisp dry finish. Wonderful!

This is the first freshly squeezed, unpasteurized sake that was successfully commercialized in Japan. The aroma is fresh and fruity, and the mouthfeel is sweet with an immediate spiciness from the alcohol. It has a sweet mouthfeel with an immediate spiciness from the alcohol. The spiciness lingers in the aftertaste, but it is clean and light. Alcohol content 19%. Sake meter degree -2 Acidity 1.6 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Quote from the manufacturer 　This is "Jun-Nama-Hara-Shu", which is freshly squeezed sake without heat sterilization or watered-down water. Because it is unpasteurized sake without adding water, it is packed with the full flavor of sake.

It has a clear and sharp taste that can be called the standard of "light and dry".

Winter punch was empty in two days, but I didn't want to open the next bottle. So I opened it. I like the taste of this brewery.

I drank new rice and new sake the other day, so I drank this one too. I wonder if this one is more refreshing. I'll have to drink them at the same time to find out.

The quality of the sake is firm and thick. I would say it has the freshness of new sake, but I could not distinguish it from the regular Funakuchi I drank before. I should have compared the two.

The mouthfeel is easy to enjoy. The richness and spiciness come on slowly. The taste is well worth the price.

The white can was usually a nice, refreshing sake, so I went back to the standard Funaguchi Kikusui can. Released in November 1972, it is older than I am. It is a masterpiece of sealing a mellow, fresh, delicious sake in an aluminum can, a product that will go down in the history of sake. More than 300 million bottles have been sold. It is also called the strongest sake in convenience stores. Tonight I got it at a 7-Eleven after work. I tasted it again, and it is a masterpiece that combines freshness and richness. I don't think it's a food sake, or a perfect accompaniment, Tonight's (late at night, 😅) snacks were my favorite menu items, such as simmered pork cutlet, grated salmon roe, and fried horse mackerel, so the full-bodied Funaguchi Kikusui can was a good choice. Thank you for the food!

Glenfiddich 12 year old 🥃. 2,300 Check in.

Thank you, ma-ki-😊. For what it's worth, I often choose Niigata sake for my milestone sake. Glenfiddich - it's delicious 🥃. I'm new to whisky and I'm learning by drinking the standard whisky at home first.

Japanese>English

Thank you, bouken 😊. Chocolate goes well with whiskey🥃. It is a different world from the compatibility of sake snacks There are many discoveries. White cans do not have the same impact as Funaguchi, but they are preferable.

Japanese>English

Thank you Duke 😊. I actually managed to prepare all the drinks and snacks myself when I got home 😅. Thanks to my wife.

Japanese>English

Thank you @Mizuhashi😊. What a great idea, Kikusui, I'm glad you liked it. It doesn't have an impact, but I would say that it is good as a normal, evening sake. In a sense, I felt that it was a good example of Niigata's sake.

Japanese>English

Thank you very much, kozo😊. I'm afraid I'm a hermit😅. My posting pace has slowed down somewhat, but I am thankful that I have sake in my daily life and that I like and enjoy it without getting bored 🍶.

Japanese>English

Thank you, Pon 😊. I thought it was a pretty good choice, as each of the snacks and drinks matched each other. Cheese and tomatoes are somehow good snacks to have in the fridge.

Japanese>English

Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊. Just a couple of days in a posting streak that has been piling up for a few days now, so the celebration is now a double 👍.

Japanese>English

I also gratefully accepted the message from Mr. Novy. I see that you are a white can user. This is the first time for me to try it, and I thought it was a good product, different from the impact of FUNAGUCHI, as expected of Kikusui.

Japanese>English

Thank you, Director T.KISO 😊. It's going by so fast, 😅 Speaking of which, I have a suspicion that I have been slacking off in my club activities (Hirotogawa River) lately, I will revive my activity.
