The 19% alcohol content sake with a strong aroma and a strong taste that does not disappoint.
It goes very well with the equally peculiar Inari rice cake.
This was also the first time I saw this one.
There are still many sake that I don't know about.
The person next to me was a fan of Omachi, so I was hooked and tried it, and it was very good.
Kiri kiri Western style
The aroma is reminiscent of Western-style sweetness and alcohol. The sharp mouthfeel, along with dry spiciness, is harmonized by the overtone aroma as well as the overtone aroma, maintaining a sense of balance. It finishes with a lingering sweetness and fragrance.
Although it has a slightly classic feel, the overall aroma is well formed with a sharpness and aroma similar to that of Western-style sake. It is better chilled and sharp than at room temperature, or warmed and mellowed.
It is a very good wine.
I've been drinking this sake regularly since I had a corner drinking session at Kimizimaya in Ginza, Tokyo.
It has a high level of thickness, umami, and elegance, and is well balanced.
I love it.
Junmai Ginjo, Sankan, made with Asahi, Okayama's sake rice, to be drunk in Okayama. I finally got to drink it.
A food sake with a subtle aroma and flavor that is not too assertive.
Drink it cold.

I found a sake I had never seen before at Takimoto, so I bought this one from among several varieties they had.
There were very few bubbles in the glass. But there was no gassy feeling.
The initial aroma was of rice and a trace of melon. It has a graininess and a trace of sweetness and spiciness. It's more refreshing than I expected. Maybe it is the type that is better served warmed?
The bitterness and astringency seem to stay in the mouth for a long time.
I think it's better to drink it a little later than when it's fresh out of the fridge.
It's basically dry, but not the type I don't like.
It's great with food.
It is easier to drink after a few days as the bitterness becomes less pronounced.
I thought it was more like a classic, as Kotori wrote in her review.
I was a little worried 😅I didn't try heating it up for a few days to find out what the bitter and astringent taste on the palate was... but I guess it's possible if it's a food sake 🤗.
Hello Kotori 😃
The one I bought didn't have the date on it either 🙄 so it's a mystery if that's the policy or they forgot to print it 🤔.
In the end I didn't try heating it up either 😅
Personal preference 3.5/5

Ichinomiya & Local Sake Tour Vol.15,16
🚢Three-day ferry trip 🚢.
The 4th and 5th shrine is
Bicchu-no-kuni Ichinomiya Kibitsu Shrine
Bizen Province Ichinomiya Kibitsuhiko Shrine
Both shrines are dedicated to the model of Momotaro.
These two shrines are about 10 minutes away from each other by car, but they are both the first shrine of different countries.
This time, we had a bottle of Kibi sake to soak up the memories!
Sankan-san's unfiltered unpasteurized sake!
The color is not so much, and the aroma is a little bit on the nose!
The taste was a heavy type 🍶.
Although it says it is unfiltered unpasteurized sake, I think it is better to drink it with a strong flavorful side dish.
So I had it with yakitori (grilled chicken).
It goes well with yakitori! Thank you for the drink!
Good evening, Ofuji.
I didn't know these two are the first shrines of different countries 😳I only visited Kibitsu shrine 😢I want to visit both next time I go to Okayama and drink this sake too 😁.
Good evening, Ponchan 🌛.
Yes, that's right! Long time ago, there was one in Kibi Province - you've been there 😊I gave up on the fortune-telling of the cauldron because I didn't have time 💦Takimoto-san sells it ✌️
