Kinkame長寿金亀赤生原酒
3GAwKwm5YK
The sake is made with brown rice and is unpolished.
Fairly yellow liquid color
No schwarziness
Old sake-like habit and mildness
When you put it in your mouth, it has a peculiar taste, but it is mild and not harsh.
Chestnuts? Honey? Mild sweetness with a hint of chestnut or honey, but it has a peculiar old sake-like taste.
It's not my favorite type of wine.
It's okay in small quantities, but it's hard to drink a glass of it.

Today is the first day of a 4-day/3-night trip from Kitakyushu to Kyoto and back, taking a vacation and touring the San-in region. I procured a kinkame and assorted sashimi in Kyoto and am enjoying my evening drink on board the ferry. 🍶🤣🤣
This is my first time drinking this Kinkame. It has a light amber color and a rich, mellow taste, but it has a sharp, clean aftertaste, and surprisingly, I never get tired of drinking it. I think it goes well with sashimi👍.
The night view from the sea of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is also wonderful and I am looking forward to my future trip 😊.

Good evening, chichi!
What a coincidence 🎵I'm also in Yamaguchi on a trip starting today🎵.
I'm looking forward to drinking while traveling 😋.
It would be nice to have a drink while watching the night view ❣️
Have fun 🤗

Good evening ma-ki-san!
I'm staying in Hagi today, and I got 3 bottles of sake and a Hagiyaki flat cup on the way 🍶🍶🍶.
Tomorrow I will continue walking towards Kyoto in search of more sake: 🙇♂️

Kinkame白80 火入酒
やっぱり酒がすき
I was a little disappointed because I thought it would be sweet and light at room temperature, but when I warmed it up, it was delicious!
But when I heated it up, it became delicious! Gentle and sweet 👍
Warming it up is a good idea!

Purchased at Takashimaya Sake Festival
I was curious about this since it was previously featured in a sake magazine 👀.
Too bad I couldn't go to Okamura Honke's sake brewery opening last week due to some errands 😢.
Cold sake
Aroma of nuts, mushrooms and aromatic wood
Slightly refreshing on the palate
Good balance of astringency and umami
Crisp aftertaste with not so much boldness.

Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu 2025⑰
The Okamura Honke/Kinkame booth.
What caught my eye more than the usual lineup of Kinkame-style sake was the label, which I don't usually see.
Omi-no Honjozo Nama-nazake Shiboritate
This sake was freshly squeezed three days ago. It is neither glamorous nor trendy. It has a mild umami and sweetness from the rice. Wow, what is this? This is the sake that made me roar with delight. An everyday evening sake that you can drink all the time.
◉Kinkame Autumn Sake Dry
The rice polishing ratio of 60% makes this a refreshing sake even though it is a hiyaoroshi (cold sake).
Kinkame Autumn Sake - Sweet
The 70% polished rice has a sweet and bitter taste with a slight astringent aftertaste.
I told him that I was thinking of Kinkame's colorful lineup of sake, sorted by rice polishing percentage, and he told me that they also offer seasonal sake.

Good evening Nemuchi🫶🥹.
Shiboritate looks delicious 😊
I'd like to try some nigori sake too 🤔.

Hi, Matsuchiyo 😆🫶The freshly squeezed hot sake made 3 days ago was exceptional 😋I only had an image of Kinkame as a series of different rice polishing ratios, so I wanted to try many others 😊Nigori sake also looks delicious 😋.

Kinkame by Okamura Honke in Toyosato-cho, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
A sake brewery that makes all of its sake by hand, using the old-fashioned wooden sack pressing method.
The summer sake has 60% rice polishing ratio and 17% alcohol content, which is a little high, but the taste is so light that you do not feel the alcohol content of 17%.
Since it is a summer sake, it is recommended to be chilled and served with soda, but I tried it on the rocks.

The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (5)
Kinkame had a brewery sister who handled the excellent tasting order at the Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival, but this time it was handled by a different person.
As at Kyoto Takashimaya, all the sake was draft.
◉Kuro 50
Slightly refreshing taste.
Green 60
Slightly dry, yet refreshing.
Tea 70
The low milled rice from 70 upwards is Nipponharu rice, which is used for its flavor. It has a full-bodied and tasty flavor with a bitter aftertaste.
White 80
A very well-balanced sake, with a good acidity and a sweet umami taste. A very well-balanced sake.
Blue 90
A very balanced sake, with a very sour and sweet taste.
Red 100
A different kind of strange wine. Caramel, grain and mellow. It is a very good sake, but it opens up when warmed up to lukewarm.
Green F30
A very refreshing, yet elegant and full-bodied sake.
I'd put aside the 100, but I still prefer the 80.
I couldn't take a picture of the highly polished sake because there were other customers there. The picture was taken only from 60 and above.

I visited Okamura Honke.
We tasted a lot of sake, mainly fire-brewed sake, summer sake, and brown rice sake.

As the label says, it is a reasonably priced junmai ginjo, but it has the taste of a Japanese sake that is loved by professionals.

Summer sake. Mellow and sweet, easy to drink. The aftertaste is pleasant.

ペンギンブルー
Made in wooden vats, powerful appearance at 17°F.
It is refreshingly spicy in the mouth.
If you include a lot of it, the alcohol will leave the nose,
It is not as peculiar as expected and has a neutral mouthfeel.
It has a slightly dry graininess and good acidity.
Taste: 3/5 stars.
