Polishing 55
When the bottle was opened, there was a fizzy feeling? There was a bubbling sensation when the bottle was first opened.
When you put it in your mouth, it's a dry, sharp taste.
It has a strong flavor and a strong alcohol taste.
When paired with chanja, the taste is slightly refreshing, but it has a long sweet aftertaste.
New Development
Polished 55
Classic yet refreshing flavor.
A light and pale beauty.
It seems to go well with western food, too light for the liver!
It makes me want to eat carpaccio.
Newly opened near the Shinkansen exit of Kumamoto station
Eki-no-Hyakahachi Yokocho" is a newly opened restaurant near the Shinkansen exit of Kumamoto Station.
Eight stores line the street.
A one-day business trip to Kumamoto that was decided on short notice.
It was a hectic day, but at least I got to enjoy the train on the way home 😉.
I'm going to drink 😅
My partner this time was Junmai Ginjo Soinier (Tsuijun Shuzo).
Surrounded by wrapping paper, it's kind of stylish❗️.
Soignier" is a French word for a guest who is cherished and wants to come back again!
I wonder how I am...
I'm not sure 🤣.
But that's beside the point 😅
Bon appétit ❗️
First, the aroma
It has a modest sweetness derived from grains, and a solid umami flavor.
Aroma that is rather common to Kumamoto sake
When you taste it, you'll be surprised ❗️
Acid=Sweet<Smart
All of them have a lot of core umami after the moderate sweetness and acidity, and the alcohol rushes in at once.
It is sharp and the more you drink, the more spicy and bitter it is ❗️.
But I don't dislike this spiciness and bitterness 🤗.
It goes perfectly with the mustard lotus root tempura 👌
I'm always in a rush when I'm out in Kumamoto these days...
I'm exhausted after having to go around so many places at a moment's notice 😵.
I wish I could have a drink with Honda and everyone in Kumamoto sometimes😅.
Haruei Chichi, good evening 🌙Good evening 🌙Thanks for your business trip to Kumamoto 😊I'm sure you must have been fired up for work looking forward to the drinking train on your way home 😁The combination of sake and mustard lotus root is perfect and soothing 🥰Kumamon is cute💕.
Haruei Chichi-san konbanhaa ¡Thank you so much for your kind words.
You are all cherished at Sake-no-wa 😆.
Speaking of Kumamon, the red bean paste and sweet potato buns were delicious 😋.
I'll look up the recipe for mustard lotus root too 🎶.
Good evening, chichi brothers!
The vibe this wrapping paper gives the bottles!
Something fresh 🍄.
And "Come again!"
I feel like I'm going to go back 🤣.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi ⭐.
Being in Kumamoto, it's hard to get my hands on this kind of stuff 😅.
I hope we can have an offline meeting in Kumamoto 😁.
There's a lot of Kumamoto sake tonight 😅.
Eirin's buns are "ikinari dango".
Good evening, Haruei Chichi! I'm so glad to see you here 😄
I too was in Kumamoto yesterday and today on a business trip! By car, but I was in Kurume in the evening, so I couldn't stop by the liquor store. 😭
Yu🎶, good evening 🌆.
It was the perfect drink size for the 40 minute ride ❗️.
I'll be in Kumamoto next week, so I'll take lots of pictures of Kumamon 😁.
Good evening, Eirin 🌇.
I'm really grateful to everyone at Sake no Wa for lifting me up 😊.
Both ikinari dumplings and mustard lotus root are delicious👍.
Good evening, tomo_loves_junmaishu 🌆.
My ideal is to hold rotating offline meetings in the 3 ordinance-designated cities in Kyushu👍
I'm looking forward to seeing you in Kumamoto❗️
Good evening, a.ys.sake 🌇.
I couldn't help but notice this label 😊.
I guess it's important to be visually appealing ❗️
The mustard lotus root was warm and delicious👍
Good evening, T.KISO 🌇.
Yes, it doesn't feel like sake 😁.
It's more like a high-class shochu.
But it was a genuine sake, and a beautiful sake at that 👍.
Comrade Manachy, good evening 🌇.
The mustard lotus root chigiriten is perfect for both as a side dish and for rice ❗️.
I'll be buying some on my business trip next week 😁.
MAJ. Good evening 🌆.
Thank you for your hard work on your daily business trip to Kumamoto❗️
It's really hard because you can't drink when you drive ❗️.
Oh, I also have to go around Saga prefecture by car tomorrow 🤣.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi!
Good job on your business trip 💦 and tomorrow too? Hard, hard work 😵 What a stylish izakaya shinkansen ✨Thanks for the reward👍.
Good evening Pon, good evening 🌆.
Thank you very much 😊.
I'll be driving tomorrow, so I'll be even more tired than today 😅.
We'll pass by Koeikiku Brewery, but it will be difficult to make a side trip since there will be 3 of us going around 💦...
Haruei Chichi.
chikumo you drank soigner too 👍️I thought I told you it didn't taste particularly great except for the looks, but you got your hands on it 🤣.
If I had known that, I could have given you a yuiui at the station...
Good morning, honda 😃.
I see, that's what chikumo-san was drinking ❗️.
I'm going on a business trip to Kumamoto next week, so I might ask you to deliver it to the station 🤗.
Good morning, Haruei Chichi ☀️.
Thanks for your sudden business trip 😊.
Stylish wrapping paper✨The sake and the mustard lotus root matched perfectly and you enjoyed the drinking iron😊 ♫
Hello 😃
Thanks for your business trip 🙇♂️.
I've never seen such a stylish wrapping paper for a sake 😍.
I'm interested, please bring me a bottle as a business trip souvenir 🤣.
Hi, Tsubu-chan 😃.
I've been driving around Saga Prefecture since this morning 💦.
Today I am more intensely tired than yesterday, so I must have a glass of wine with dinner 😁.
Haruei Chichi 😆 When I first started drinking sake, I bought some as a souvenir when I went to Kumamoto 😆 The packaging was so stylish that I imagined it would taste fashionable and drank it, but it was just sake and I was surprised by the gap 😂.
Sweet.
Not much acidity, so the sweetness comes straight from the bottle.
I was told at the sake shop that it was spicier than it looked, but it is sweet!
It was my first trip to Kumamoto, and I drank many kinds of sake, but most of them were sweet and strong.
It's good for a strong taste.
Because I got the information that the third special opening to the public of Kumamoto Castle begins
I went to Kumamoto Castle in July holiday.
Kumamoto is known as the lap of Mr. Honda no Tono 😂.
Tono! I'm going to enter the castle!
I found a signboard for "Local Sake" at the Sakura no Koji (souvenir shop) attached to the castle🙆I immediately went for it of course!
When I entered the shop, I was surprised. The pressure of shochu is strong😆.
I know, Kuma Shochu is famous.
We fought against the pressure of shochu 😅, but we chose this one because of the size of 300ml and the stylishness of the label
Opening the bottle!
It smells like rice.
When you taste it, it looks like shochu. It looks like shochu 😆 .
One more sip, hmm? It looks like rice shochu. Shochu?
Did I buy it by mistake💦?
The label says, well, yes, it's sake, right😆.
As soon as you take a sip, you can taste the sweetness of the rice, but from the middle, you can taste the alcohol!
After drinking it for a while, I remembered
When I was a student, I used to work at an izakaya.
I guess it's a classic flavored sake😆.
It was very strong and solid.
It was delicious with Camembert cheese.
a surprising discovery!
I'm going back to Kumamoto again!
I would recommend Josaien Sakura no Koji for the freshly fried horse meat menchi!
There's also a shuttle bus to Suntory Beer Garden that departs from Josaaien, and I'd recommend a tour of the brewery with three beer tastings.
From Bakadono 🙃.
Tono❕馬肉メンチ didn't notice that 💦I'll eat it freshly fried next time 😂.
I also love the beer garden factory tour🙆
I love Kumamoto castle and I always time out when I go there 😆.
I would love to stay overnight and enjoy Kumamoto!
Good evening Rika,🌆
I went to Josaien in July and it was closed because it was too late😅.
I would love to go there in private when things settle down 🤗
Haruei Chichi, I'm sorry to hear that 😆.
I stayed at Josaien for quite a while, filling my stomach and buying souvenirs.
I still haven't ridden the Kumamoto tram yet, I want to someday ⤴️!
Maa.-dono 👮I entered the territory without permission and scouted without greeting the chancellor first😁.
I'm worried I'll be charged with raiding his territory 😆.
If I'm ordered to commit seppuku, I want Maa-dono to lose his head lol
Baka-dono will judge you 🙃
Josaien, you will be sentenced to a nose hook dragging ❗
Maa. please intercede for him so he doesn't cut off the nose hook 😉.
