It tastes like white wine right after it is uncorked... It is delicious... It is left at room temperature for half a month (lol).
It is softened by being chilled....it will be heated up....
It is smooth and delicious with a good accent of acidity.
Here's my 200th check-in ✨
It was sent to me by a friend who I had the pleasure of photographing when I was in Osaka 🥺😍It's one that made me realize that alcohol is a human connection ✨.
The aroma is fresh and apple-like 🍎 when you open it.
The aroma of rice and a hint of ripeness on the palate. The acidity is followed by a firm bitterness. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing ✨.
Classical but fruity.
It has a classical but fruity taste and is delicious many times in one 😍It is also similar to Yuho 🤔.
This sake brewery is owned by a descendant of Ota Doukan, who played an active role in the construction of Edo Castle. It's nice to have a story like that. Sake has a lot of history, horizontal connections, and is a profound thing. ☺️
Congratulations Mamio on your 200 check-ins 🎉🎉㊗️🎊
Huh? You're not one step ahead of me 🤣🤣.
But I've never seen this drink before 👀.
It's interesting to unravel the history of the drink ❣️
Good evening, Mamio 🌃😀.
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins 🎉🎊㊗️It's the first time I've seen this drink 👀✨🍶The connection between drinks and people is a good word 😚👍

I've never seen this brand before 😳It's through connecting with people that we can discover these non-major delicious drinks 😁.
Congratulations on your 200th check-in, Mamio 🎉!
As a history buff, I knew this sake existed, but I didn't know it was made by a descendant of Ota Doukan 😲 Well, that's very romantic 😆 I would love to try it 😋.
Good evening, Mamio 🌇.
Congratulations on your 200 checkin ㊗️㊗️
I knew your name, but you achieved it with a very rare sake 😍.
Sake is the connection between people, I understand that well when I'm doing sakewa: ✌️
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins, Mamio 🎉🎉.
Thank you for the Shiga sake for the Kiri number 😊It seems to have become fruity while I haven't had it for a long time 👍I haven't had it for a long time 😆.
Good morning, Mamio 😃!
Congratulations on your 200 check-in ㊗️㊗️ 🎉Congratulations on your long history and human connection 😌It's great that you can feel that while drinking sake 🥹.
I'd love to have a Utsunomiya photo session 😆.
Thank you very much T.KISO! One step you are too everyday 🤣and since I received a rare sake, I decided to make this one my Kiri number 😁 Sake is rooted in history, the local climate and culture, it's wonderful 🥰.
Thank you very much, Manachie! I got a very rare drink that you didn't even know about 😳It was firm, refreshing and delicious ✨I think you would like it too 😊.
Thank you very much, Maecin-san! There are so many delicious sakes out there, but it's special to have a connection with people and a connection with sake ✨I was happy to taste a sake that I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't received it this time~☺️
Thank you so much, Noodle Sake King! You're right, you know I love history 😳It's romantic that the worlds of books and movies are really connected beyond history 😊It was exceptionally tasteful ✨
Thank you very much, TOMO! Really, I would have never known about it if you hadn't sent it to me, and it was amazing to meet that friend in Osaka in the first place, so I thought that fate is a mystery. ☺️
Thank you very much, 3KAN4ON! Oh you know 😳I'm glad to have such a rare sake ✨It's nice to have a sake that connects people like the edge of sakéwawa: ☺️
Thank you very much, Pon! I unexpectedly received a Shiga sake from ☺️ It's a familiar local brand ✨It was classic and crisp, but fruity when opened 🍎.
Thank you very much, Jay & Nobby! Sake is a wonderful way to feel the history and the land ✨.
Utsunomiya photo session is a must 🥰 There are many photogenic places 📷!
Good evening, Mamio, and congratulations on your 200 check-ins: ㊗️ I'm so glad you are celebrating with Shiga sake, which I never thought you would be able to celebrate with! I'm sure your friend is happy to hear that😊I think we're about to get to this year's Jungin, one step your way.
Good evening, Mamio! 😄
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins 🎉㊗️ You are a maniacal brand! I did not know that! 🤔"Dokan" is another obfuscated brand. 🤣
Thank you very much, Hirupeko-san! Hirupeko-san was from Shiga too ☺️ It was a great time with unexpectedly good sake ✨!
I checked 5 bottles of Ippo Jungin back to back but they were from last year and the bottle of Ippo was from the year before 🤣.
Thank you very much, MAJ! I got something unexpectedly maniacal, a brand that not even everyone in Sake no Wa knows about😁Doukan is also unfamiliar to me, but I was surprised that it came up correctly on my phone's kanji conversion 😲.
Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 2023⑬
■Ota Sake Brewery / "Doukan" and "Koakubutsu", Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture
The Ota family, whose distant ancestor is Doukan Ota, a master builder of Edo Castle, is a general sake brewer that also brews shochu (Japanese liquor) and wine.
The company uses difficult-to-read kanji characters such as "Fujikura" and "Kokoro".
Doukan Ginbuki Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
It has a rich, honeyed flavor, but it is easy to drink.
Doukan Watafune 60 Special Junmai Nama Nama
This sake has a full-bodied flavor with a little bit of umami assertion. It is also rich, but has an easy-drinking quality that does not linger.
We were running out of time, and wanted to visit other places, so we only tasted a few without talking much.
Read as "Fujikura".
Refrigerated storage! The store pop-up says, "Keep refrigerated!
I had it cold.
The aroma is like a clear and refreshing rum.
It has a refreshing taste, but it is strong and nettlesome.
(I thought it was a cat punch, but it was a human punch. (I thought it was a cat punch, but it was a human punch...)
I don't have the vocabulary. I don't have it 😢)
I had it with chili shrimp, soaked okra, chilled tofu, kimchi, etc.
I think it goes well with various meals because of its punchy flavor.
I also felt that the aroma of kimchi was flowing!
Thank you very much!
At Onuma Sake Shop, 1,450 yen (tax excluded)
Slightly sparkling and tasty.
It is a sake that you can drink all the time without any snacks.
So, I haven't stopped drinking since a while ago.
I'm going to have a hard time tomorrow...
Souvenirs of Hikone Day Trip No. 4
This is also purchased at a souvenir shop near Hikone Castle.
It is rare to find it in Kansai.
At room temperature.
Slightly strong aroma peculiar to sake, slightly yellowish in color.
The color is a little yellowish. A little bitterness.
The mellow flavor unique to Yamahai gradually spreads in the mouth.
The ginjo aroma is citrusy and refreshing.
The flavor of rice spreads in the mouth and goes down the throat nicely! This brewery faces the same old Tokaido Highway as the Furukawa Sake Brewery that I posted last time, so it is close to this brewery in terms of distance.
