Pilgrimage to the Holy Land ✨ from
Saitama Petit Drive🚙PART2 ①
Continuing from last week, I decided to accompany Dora-chan on her drinking activities...
(I also say I was forced to go along 🤣)
First, we headed to the holy place ✨Koyama Shoten!
We arrived just before the store opened (that's a long way away from 〰︎💦).
There was a line of people waiting for the store to open 😱.
There must have been close to 100 people...
The parking lot was also full 💦.
Maybe it was because they were selling Hana-yosu that day... 🌀 (the lottery had already ended).
Still, people were lining up one after another😅.
Even when we went inside the store, it was still packed 💦.
After completing the pilgrimage to the holy place, we went on a tour of sake breweries and sake shops in Saitama.
We decided to visit sake breweries and liquor stores in Saitama.
After an early lunch
We were taken to
King Shop Seiya ❣️
He said, "You can have a tasting (for a fee) here.
You can sample while I'm looking at the sake.
So I went 😆 without hesitation.
Let's start with some sake from Saitama!
Kagamiyama's new sake, freshly squeezed ✨.
Sweet and fruity aroma
When you take a sip
Sweet and juicy with a firm sweetness.
Refreshing with mild acidity
It is ♡♡♡ delicious 😘.
Good evening, Tsubuchan😊I like the pilgrimage to the holy place! I've never been to Oyama, but I'd like to go there😊and I've had Kagamiyama before, it's delicious😊.
Good evening, Mr. Sashu 😊.
It was so crowded and hard work 😵.
I hadn't been to Kagamiyama since the scorching pineapple 🍍, but this one was freshly squeezed too 😋♡!
3.5/5 points
The impression on the palate is sweet and fruity like an apple.
It is easy to drink neat when served cold, and as it gets to room temperature, you can feel the sweetness and depth of the rice.
Good performance for the price.
Kagamiyama, a 2024 Maruhiro Department Store limited edition sake Musashi Junmai Daiginjo.
Unlike the sake that I usually buy for around 1,000 yen for a No. 4 bottle, this is a No. 4 bottle, but at 3,000 yen, I wouldn't buy it unless it was a gift at a very rich price! I would not buy it unless it was a gift!
It has a delicate taste and a gorgeous aroma!
It is neither sweet nor spicy and has a light taste, but it is fruity and floral, and the aroma opens up surprisingly!
It is different from the usual image of Kagamiyama.
This is the taste of high quality sake! I was impressed 🥹.
Purchased in Kawagoe
It said it was a very limited edition sake...!
It seems to be a kijoshu, but it was not that sweet,
It was a very refreshing sake 💭💭💭.
I was told that it contains a lot of malic acid.
It has a refreshing acidity and should be drunk in the summer. ☺️
I went to Kawagoe on a weekday off today, ate udon at Musashino Udon Shincha and bought some Kagamiyama at the Koedo Kagamiyama Sake Brewery store in Koedo Kurasato.
It has a nice acidity from the raw yeast, but it is light and crisp acidity.
Kagamiyama is my sake of choice, and I will continue to watch for it.
Junmai Daiginjo🍶New Sake Shiboritate Betsuatsurai✨.
The third bottle of Inariya's original Saitama local sake Shiboritate Hanpukai 😆.
Slightly creamy pear-like 🍐 aroma. The perk is melon cemedine🍈 but it doesn't last long and it's not hard to drink. Fresh and lush, according to my wife. When paired with black soybeans for the festive season, it is nice with a little spiciness and a bit of a horniness. It also goes well with Miyazaki's betara-zuke (pickled radishes) 👍 The moderate acidity is also pleasant. It is sweet and sour. It is a sweet and sour type, and when you eat it with persimmon, it gives you a melon-like feeling.
Purchased at Inariya Espoir Sake Shop @ Urawa, Tokyo 20250105
This bottle was selected by a magazine as one of the 30 bottles to drink this year.
It has a fresh and sweet nuance with a slight aroma reminiscent of unripe bananas.
From the first sip, it is smooth and soft on the tongue with plenty of umami. The sweetness from the robust umami is wrapped and condensed by the acidity, giving it a fresh, sweet and sour mouthfeel with a slightly strong impact. The rich flavor is accentuated by a subtle bitterness, and a crisp, dry finish can be enjoyed.
Kagamiyama Junmai Daiginjyo Unfiltered Nama-Aizan, produced in July 2023" by Koedo Kagamiyama Shuzo, stored in ice temperature.
Aoyama" is called the diamond of sake rice and white malted rice.
The citric acidity of the "Aizan" rice and the white malted rice gives it a punch of freshness.
The citric acidity of "Aizan," which is known as a diamond of sake rice, and white malted rice make it a super fresh and fascinating limited draft sake. The bewitching ginjo aroma of Saitama G yeast gently envelops this cool sake.
