With my wife at the desk on the balcony.
The brand name is from a sake brewery near my parents' house.
I don't have a picture of it, but the accompaniment was funazushi, a specialty of Shiga Prefecture. The breeze was pleasant and we were in a drunken mood.
If it gets a little colder, we'll have it hot. ☺️
Comparison of different polished rice
You can only do this at the store. You can enjoy the difference between the explanation and the way your tongue feels.
I overwhelmingly like brown rice and 70!
Memorandum
At an antenna store called "Here Shiga" on a trip to Tokyo.
A set of three different kinds of sake.
The richness of the aftertaste was the most impressive.
Choujukinkame Ao90 Hi-ire
Polishing ratio 90(!) Brightly illuminated, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Like mirin or shaoxing sake. #Home #Drinking #Dinner
The 7th Takashimaya Sake Festival 10
It was spectacular to see the Kinkame line up from 20 to 100 (unpasteurized rice) 😁.
I tasted 30 to 70 for a fee for 20.
I didn't go through the 80-100 zone because I've had it before 🤣.
I drank
Ai 40 Nama-nazake (raw sake)
It's gorgeous and maybe the sweetest flavor? No sense of perversity at all.
I like this one the best.
Green F30 Nama-nazake
It's like a more beautiful version of indigo, and gorgeous!
Sake that doesn't lose to ice.
Sake to be drunk on the rocks. Gutsy and a little classic.
Kuro 50 Nama-no-Mazake
Beautiful and mild ginjo aroma. A little spicy.
Green 60 nama sake
The gorgeousness starts to disappear around this point.
I've tasted this before, but 60 seems to be the spiciest.
I forgot to take a picture💦.
Tea 70 nama sake
Different type from the highly polished one, but a little heavier with more sweetness and umami. Forgot to take a picture💦.
Purchased at Takashimaya's Sake Festival
The tasting is too much fun as it is in 10% increments from 100% polished rice percentage!
This time it was Blue 90
Aroma is sour like Shaoxing sake
The color is light amber.
The mouthfeel is smoother than expected, with a refreshing sourness spreading first.
After that, there is a graininess and sweetness.
The graininess that passes through the nose gives a sense of calmness.
The acidity is caused by the koji used for shochu (rice malt), white koji I think.
Thanks to this, it is refreshing and crisp. ✨️
The most impressive thing was the 100% polished rice ratio! Brown rice!
It left a very strong graininess after drinking!
Hi Kurumafu 🐦.
I hope you enjoyed the sake festival😊🎶Kinkame, 90 and 100 are totally different 😆100 also tastes better when heated, but at room temperature it was as reviewed🤣.
It is refreshing, as is typical of summer sake, but has a strong umami flavor.
The umami is not clingy and disappears quickly after drinking, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
It also has a slightly fruity flavor.
Delicious!
I bought this nigori sake at the Kinkame Kura Festival!
This is the sake that got me hooked on sake, and I haven't been able to buy it in a long time because the timing just hasn't been right.
I heard that it is made after December, when the new rice is ready for brewing.
This was the first time I attended the spring brewery festival and found nigori sake: ❗️
It is available in spring, not fall 😊.
It is not junmai sake, but it is an easy to drink sake with a less sake-like taste.
I tasted it at the Kura Matsuri and was disappointed that it was a bit gassy, but I have high hopes for the unopened nigori I brought back!
When I opened the bottle, I poked the hole in the center of the cap with a toothpick and it blew out with a pusch ❗️. I was in a hurry, but it subsided after that and the bottle was safely opened 😁.
It tastes great when it's freshly opened 👍!
I love the feeling of gas and the tingling sensation on my tongue 😊.
Robin, good morning ☀Thanks for your review of Kinkame's brewery opening 😊I was looking forward to seeing what the nigori sake looked like when it was first opened 😊The momentum from the vent looks amazing and delicious in the pictures 😋.
When I arrived at the nearest station after leaving the venue of the Sake-1 Grand Prix, I found that the local liquor store was open, even though it was supposed to be closed on Sunday! I thought it was open on Sunday, which means it was a tasting event.
I walked in like I was being sucked in 🤣.
The wine tasting was mainly wine, but the sake tasting was by Kawashima Sake Brewery from Shiga.
I tasted 3 kinds of Pine Blossom and bought Jun Dai.
(I have already reviewed all but the Jun Dai in the past, so I'll skip that.
I heard they also do whiskey, but I didn't drink it 😅.
The person who came to the store seemed to be the person with the strong sense of taste that Nemuchi mentioned, but I couldn't tell the sense of taste 😅.
I got the impression that he talked a lot 😊.
After the tasting, I found some sake in the fridge that didn't look like they were for sale, so I asked the mom about it and she told me that her son had gone to the brewery to buy some sake as a hobby.
She asked me if I wanted some. She asked me if I wanted some and I decided to try some 😁.
Let's start with Kinkame!
It says it's dry, but it doesn't feel that dry.
It has a nice sharpness with a sweetness of rice.
The taste is light, easy to drink, and will be popular with everyone.
It may be obvious, but the impression is quite different from 80 and 90.
Personally, I prefer the sweeter 80 and 90.
Good evening bouken🍶.
If there was a tasting at a liquor store, all the people of Sakegawa would be sucked in 🤣.
I've only ever had 80, so I can't imagine a light Kinkame 🤔.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo 😃
According to Robin's post who drank from 20 to 90, 50-70 seems to be dry 🤔I was also surprised that it was light because I only know the 80-100 perverted zone 😳.
good evening bouken 🦉.
Tasting after the event🤣I'll have to stop by the local liquor store or something 😁.
I only drank at the tasting but the 60 was not impressive 🙏.
Hello Ponchan 😃
If it was only wine, I would have passed on it, but there was sake 😁.
I tried my best to come up with an impression, but to be honest, I wasn't too impressed either😅.
I have just returned home from the opening of Kinkame Kura and will describe the rest of the story.
Kinkame spring sake
Delicious 😊
Great spring-like good aroma, more like a flowery aroma than a ginjo-shu aroma ❗️
The taste seems clean and easy to drink, a strong sake with a strong character😃.
Nigori Sake
It's the type I like to be careful when opening the bottle 😁.
I drank it at the brewery and it was easy to drink with a good balance of sweetness and sourness.
The one I drank at the brewery was less gassy, but the one I brought home had a very dangerous aroma 🤣.
I will update separately when I open the bottle 😁.
Barrel sake
I have only seen it at the brewery, but you can drink it with a sake cup for 300 yen and refills after that for 100 yen!
I personally don't like the strong barrel aroma, but it has a moderate aroma and is easy to drink with a good mouthfeel. 👍
I may order it again next time. 😁
Also, I don't have a picture.
Asura
I like the sake that has a strong personality with a strong sake feel, surprisingly 🤣.
Junmai Daiginjo Aged Sake
It tastes like an aged sake.
It has little acidity, but I felt it had a strong alcohol taste.
It is expensive, so it is a sake to be drunk little by little with care.
That's all, I was too drunk to take pictures in the latter half of the day but it was a fun day. I was so drunk I couldn't take any pictures, but it was an enjoyable day.
Hi Robin 😀
I see that you attended the Shiga Sake Brewery Festival again 😀.
I haven't tasted Kinkame yet, but as a nigori sake lover, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on home drinking 😇.
Hi Yasbay, ❗️
I went to the Shiga Sake Brewery Festival again 🤣.
I got hooked on Sake after Kinkame, so it's like an annual event for me 😁I'll report back on the drinking at home 👍.
