A friend of mine from college found out about my daughter's marriage through a New Year's greeting card and went out of her way to bring it to me.
I will have it with my father.
I tasted it at the Kobe Hankyu event with Nemuchi-san and pyonpyon-san, and was most impressed with Sakura Masamune.
At room temperature. The aroma is classic. The aroma is classic and the mouthfeel is soft and gentle. I guess it is very refreshing when chilled. It is a sake to drink while eating.
Not in a negative way, but the top aroma and taste is like that of an alcoholic honjozo or regular sake.
I thought it was a bit sweeter when I tasted it 🤔.
I thought I could buy it anywhere, but surprisingly, I couldn't find any bottles of it at ●Maya, and only department stores carry 4-gou 💦.
When I drank it again, it had a soft sweetness.

First Sakura Masamune
I bought it at the supermarket, so I opened the bottle without any expectations.
It is very spicy.
No sweetness anywhere😅.
It comes in the order of hot, bitter and spicy😅.
This was the one that didn't work for me as it was spicy even when the temperature was turned up 🤣.
Good morning tomo 😃
I've tasted this sake but I didn't like it because it was too pungent 💦I think Sakura Masamune has a classic sake quality in general🤔.
🌸
Ingredients:Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 13%.
I wanted to drink some more, so I had a glass of Sakura Masamune, which was given to me by Mr. Umaime at the Nagoya camp of the Mahjong Club in the summer.
It is made with Ichiai yeast, the yeast from which Sakura Masamune originated.
It is very acidic, bitter, and has a very harsh taste. It's like waking up and feeling crisp. This has an alcohol content of 13 degrees. It is interesting how different yeasts can make such a difference in flavor.
Thank you very much 💠.
I want to drink something sweet when I drink bitter, but today I've already had my oshimai.
Good evening, Ane😄.
That 💦.
It looks small even though it's a bottle 😱.
Ane-san, you are finally becoming Ultraman!

Good evening, T.KISO 🌇.
I guess I should have held it like I was picking it with my fingers 😆.
o(o|o)/schwatch And I want to say I can only work for 3 minutes 😆.
Purchased at Sakura Masamune Kurabiraki. When the bottle is opened, it has a nice aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the crispness of the mouthfeel. The spiciness comes later. If you drink it as it is, it is quite spicy. The spiciness does not bother me if I drink it with a meal. We had it with yellowtail shabu-shabu, and it was delicious.
Warmed to lukewarm, the aroma of rice spreads to the nose and palate, and the umami is also strong. The aftertaste is not too spicy, so you can enjoy it as much as you want.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2023" 10
Ltd. "Sakura Masamune"/Higashinada-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture
Sakura Masamune was first brewed in 1625.
The yeast used in Sakura Masamune is Association No. 1 yeast.
The "Taki Koi" brand and brewing method of the Kimura Shuzo, which went out of business, have been inherited and continued.
Sakura Masamune Yakikin Nama Ippon
The cheapest but most delicious. The demon of cost performance. This is a top quality sake that was branded with a rare brand in the Edo period.
Sakura Masamune Miyamizu no Hana Special Junmai
It has a gentle flavor with a light, refreshing taste.
Sakura Masamune Aki-agari Junmai Genshu
Mellow and mature, but a little bitter.
Forgot to take a picture 💦.
Sakura Masamune Junmai Daiginjo Kyokai Ichi-go Yeast
Junmai Daiginjo, but it still has a strange unpolished feel to it.
Sakura Masamune Junmai Ginjo Kayajunokai Namikyo yeast
This is a sake made exclusively in Hyogo and Osaka. The acidity spreads gently to the umami.
Sakura Masamune Kinmai Junmai Daiginjo 40
This is a Kinmiki that costs about three times as much as Yaki-iki. It is simply a delicious drink.
I like drinking sake made with Association No. 1 yeast because it has a primitive or unrefined image.
There are many brands with the name "Masamune," but Sakura Masamune is said to be the original.
No, it is the opposite of what is popular today.
It is the opposite of the current fad for a clean, fruity taste.
It has an old-fashioned sake taste that old men can't get enough of 😊.
