Last weekend, a brewer came to the basement of Ikebukuro Tobu and let me choose from about 5 different kinds of tastings!
All of them were very nice, but I thought the Junmai sake with a lighter ginjo aroma would go better with a meal, so I chose this one!
It is very soft and beautiful on the palate!
Mild but full of umami!
It goes well with sashimi 🍶.

The name and label, which used to be "ORIGARAMI Autumn Ripening", has been changed to "ORIGARAMI"! I have nothing but high expectations for this one... The Yamaguchi yeast 9H used in this ganki seems to produce a very beautiful acidic sake! Well, what do you think 🤔?
After opening the bottle, the aroma is a light ginjo aroma! It's not fruity, but it has a very nice aroma!
When you put it in your mouth, oh...! The aroma reminds me of ripe fruit and honey, and the light sweetness is immediately followed by a sharp spiciness.
The lingering aftertaste is fresh with an indescribable acidity.
You can't deny the dryness, so compared to other fruity Ganki, you may think it's quite dry 🤔It's better to drink it well chilled👍.
I liked it very much 😘
Nice work Ganki! That's my guess 🤣.
Delicious!
Today is my wife's birthday! My daughter is busy with her pre-tests, so we're not celebrating until the next week... and I'm sad about that, so we'll just have a cake 🎂... 🎂... 🎂... 🎂... 🎂...
Good evening, Mr. Kozo!
Happy birthday to your wife 🎉!
You are a wonderful family, Mr. Kozo who cares for your daughter and your wife ✨.
I'm planning to visit Yamaguchi soon, so I'm looking forward to drinking ganki too 😋.

Good morning♪
I envy you going to Yamaguchi prefecture! I would like to visit not only my favorite brewery but also other breweries such as Amami and Otters, etc. 🤩I have a family and I have to commemorate the occasion even if it is simple...
I bought the first pressing of Ganki!
The toji-san was there, so I bought one of the few bottles left!
It is a robust, solid, but pure rice made from 100% Yamadanishiki. The flavor of the rice is amazing!
We also tasted Gankino-no-ni, which was fruity, but also delicious!
We also tasted a slightly more expensive one, called "Minakagi," which came in a paulownia box, and it was a very satisfying cup, just as it was expensive! It has a beautiful cohesiveness while retaining its umami flavor.
The Ganki was delicious.
Today, we paired it with No.1 and horse sashimi.
Ganki" sake from Yamaguchi, purchased at Tokyo station on return to Kanto from Osaka business trip and Kyoto golf
My wife was out of town during the day, so I cooked dinner by myself, using kelp salt in various places.
Now, what about the "GANKI"?
Yes, it was a hit!
A little fizzy and concentrated with a great flavor and aroma, and it goes down your throat so smooth and smooth 😊.
Is it really junmai sake? Is it really junmai sake? It's about as good as it gets 🍶.
I got a sticker at Tokyo station selling it directly!
The packaging is great too 😊.
It is unfiltered raw sake, but surprisingly refreshing. Nagareki Ganki, easy to drink.
