On the second day of our trip to Yamaguchi, we went sightseeing in Hagi by rickshaw, which we love as a couple, and the wind was great and pleasant!
After that, we wandered around Hagi - Iwasaki Sake Brewery - Tsuwano - Hanaizumi Sake Brewery - Furuhashi Sake Brewery - Horie Sake Brewery, which we had longed for, and then on to Iwakuni!
At Horie Sake Brewery, we were excited to meet Mr. Kinjaku, whom we had longed to meet!
After all that excitement, we were looking forward to having dinner at "Seasonal Cuisine Saisai" in Iwakuni!
So, the first drink at "Seasonal Cuisine Saisai" was "Ganki" by Yaoshin Sake Brewery!
This time it was a sparkling sake!
Let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads and it is fresh.
The aroma is also good!
It is fresh and a little fruity.
There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
It is a sparkling wine with a strong taste and sweetness.
When it becomes cloudy, the flavor increases and it is also delicious.
Good morning, ma-ki-chan😃Your trip sounds like a fun and relaxing one. I've never ridden a rickshaw before, but if it's a good one, I'll give it a try next time 😁I guess seeing the Golden Sparrow for the first time got you excited 😊.
There is a fine gasiness and a spiciness! After the piquancy, there is a little sourness and then a sharpness and then sourness again.
It is very tasty.
It is easy to drink, so you will end up drinking too much.
The aroma is slightly fruity with little flavor.
Smooth mouthfeel, rice flavor, and lingering bitterness.
After returning to the bar after drinking a variety of other drinks, it is a good sake that can be drunk easily with a slight acidity in the aftertaste, perfect for a mealtime drink.
One of the bottles purchased at a tasting at the Kagoya Sengawa store.
It has a refreshing aroma of rum, muscat, and apple.
It is an entertaining sake, and the cork is opened and closed several times before it is opened, during which the cage in the bottle turns on its own.
It has a lot of sweetness, but the carbonation is refreshing.
The rice flavor is also present.
It is surprisingly drinkable even when the temperature rises.
I used up a four-pack of sake in one day. (My partner and I drank it together that day.)
drink sake cold
Good aroma before drinking
The aroma and the sweetness are obvious.
After that comes a nice bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check.
The sweetness and umami are just right for drinking cold, but it is not too heavy, and the bitterness comes in a nice way, so the sweetness has a nice sharpness.
It has the goodness of modern sake, and I think it would not be surprising if it becomes more popular.
Delicious sake!
90 points
The smell was very sweet rice flavor, and the mouthfeel was sweet and sour, with a slight, savory flavor, and the aftertaste was milder than the mouthfeel!
A guest is coming today, so I went to the liquor store in a hurry.
I bought it as a toast to the IWC2025 GOLD award! I bought it as a toast.
If two people can open a bottle of sparkling wine
300ml is just right.
I wish they would release more and more 300ml sparkling.
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 🍶.
