My father asked the liquor store he has known for a long time to get a bottle for me 🥹Thank you 🥂.
As you can see on the back label, it has a refreshing aroma of kabosu (citrus fruit) 🥂🥂I took a sip and couldn't get enough of the sweet and sour taste of shinmasa 🥴, while the light aftertaste cuts through quickly, so if no one stops me, it will be gone in no time😇
It's always a great drink... 🍶✨
Following yesterday's Ash, today we opened a bottle of Flax Cat Sparkling 😀.
It's hard to open a bottle of a sake that you can't open often, so you have to be very active to open a bottle 🤣.
All I've been able to get lately is regular Flaxcat, and it's been a really long time since I've had a bottle of Flaxcat Sparkling 😀.
I guess it depends on your taste, but I personally prefer sparkling 😇.
But still, it's a very energetic drink and I haven't had a blowout in a while 😅.
I couldn't believe it was made in a wooden vat with the same raw yeast as Ash, I could feel fruits reminiscent of muscat, probably from the acidity derived from the bubbles😇.
Personally, Flax Cat Sparkling is one of my top favorite sakes from Shinsei 😀.
I also enjoyed today's sake comparison😇
Good morning, Yasbay😃.
We love Flax Cat Spark too 🤗I can't forget that first time I drank it 🥹😌I honestly can't get over that after the second bottle 😅But it's delicious!
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I too was so shocked the first time I drank it that after that I could only comment on how good it tasted no matter how many times I drank it 🤣.
Hi Yasbay 🐦🐦.
The first time I drank Shinsei was with Flax Cat Spark, so it's a memorable taste for me too😊It's not easy to come across this one too, so I might forget to blow it 😆.
But still, it's a luxurious drinking experience 😍.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
I see that Pon-chan did the same😇.
If the first one is shocking, you won't be able to say another word 🤣.
I can't open the bottle if there's nothing to open, on the other hand, when I do, it keeps on going 😅.
Peco from Osaka
Peco from Osaka came for a wild visit. He said he wanted to drink and I could gather the usual mahjong 🀄️ club members, i.e., those who are not of (mental) age. There, Peco, a perverted sake lover and a Masamune hunter approached me and said
Noci, MAJ, Rigel-kun, Hiro, Matsuchiyo-san, Peco, and me.
We had a fun party with 7 people. This restaurant offers an all-you-can-drink unlimited course on Saturdays. Yee-haw!
And I'm posting a bottle of Rigel's Shinsei 😆.
No, because it was so delicious. Thank you very much 😊.
I was worried that Hiro-san and Matsuchiyo-san would be drawn to the Mahjong club, but that wasn't the case at all. Oh, it's a compliment 😄.
Peco was also very flirtatious (maybe she was too tired and excited) and it was a fun time. I wonder how many hours we drank. Did we stay until closing time? My memory is hazy.
Good evening, Ane-san. Thank you very much for your help over the weekend! Well, I don't remember anything 🤣just your faces and names👌I had a great time meeting you all 🤗Thank you all so much!
Good evening Ane-san & thank you for your hard work 🍶.
It's fun to drink sake with other sake lovers and above all, the sake tastes great 😊.
I look forward to meeting you again when the timing is right.
Good morning, Hiro 😃.
I have the photos, so you can give your impressions of what you drank from now on 😉 I'll say this since everyone's age is known, but good adults got too excited (from the photos).
Good morning, Peco 🌷
I was surprised when I was first asked about it, but I'm glad we could hold it safely and had fun💕If you made it back to the hotel, the party was a success! The next day was fun too, I hope you enjoyed your trip to Tokyo! See you soon!
Good morning, Matsuchiyo 😁.
You must have been surprised to see me shake out of my strange talk 🍞. I was able to go home without getting drunk even though I drank a lot when I looked at the pictures. I think it was because we drank slowly while talking.
It's time for new sake, so I opened it to clear out the fridge.
It had been sitting for 2 years since I bought it, but the gassy feeling was still there!
Highly acidic, with a white wine-like muscateliness.
It could have been aged longer.
Shinsei Tangerine is still delicious!
I was really happy to be able to drink it this time, as it was one I couldn't easily buy myself: ☺️
The softness in the mouth and the unique world view of Fukunohana's umami spreading quickly... the fire-brewed "Colors" series of Shinsei is very special. The refreshing sharpness of the tangerine also made me fall in love with it all over again 🍶✨.
I hope we can meet again someday 🙏!
Today was a nice day, so we opened a bottle of KOCHIRA Shinsei 😀.
I've had most of the Niimasa Colors, but this is the first time I've had the all-black label Suiboku 😀.
I've heard that it tastes better if it's aged for a while, so I aged it in the freezing cellar for more than a year😇.
I could not feel any aging at all, in fact, the taste was rather beautiful and I could feel the fresh yeast and wooden vat feeling 😇.
I knew that Shinmasa is a great sake 😀.
Good morning, Yasubeyesan 🌞I've been too luckless with Shinsei to come across it lately 😭I'm impressed that you aged it to improve sake quality ✨I would have let it age on its own because it's too good to be true 😅.
Good evening, Nao888 😀
I heard from sakéwa information that it tastes better if you leave it longer, so I left it for more than a year, but if I leave it any longer, I'm afraid I'll forget about it 😅.
Good evening, Wakata!
I can't open the bottle without some reason, so I'm hoping to open it for something a little better to make me feel better 🤣.
I'm glad you asked about it at Sake no Wa and let it mature😇.
Hi Hiro, good evening 😀
Personally, I like Shinshu Kamerei and Jikin more among the pre-sake, so Shinmasa might not need that much courage to open the bottle 🤣.
I can't open a bottle of 🐢 without a bigger reason 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
If you can't usually open a bottle of sake, you'll miss the chance to drink it if you don't open it for some reason, even if it's just a little bit 🤣.
Hi Yasbaye 🐦.
Opening a good drink on a good day, that's a phrase I'd like to put up as a poster in my liquor store ✨Ash I haven't seen it since I went over budget and passed on it 💦 I'm jealous that I haven't been able to drink it 😍.
Good evening, Pon 😀
Of all the Colors, Ash was the only one I hadn't had before, so I couldn't help myself 🤣.
But now that I've had it once, maybe 2 bottles of Cosmos would be better next time😅.
When the bottle was opened, it had a tangy feeling,
I felt the acidity among the Niimasa.
However, I opened 750 bottles in no time,
I didn't get drunk at all, even though I drank and drank,
It didn't leave a residue the next day either,
It was a happy sake.
Alcohol content: 15
Rice used:Undisclosed
Rice polishing ratio:40
This is a limited distribution sake of Shinmasa for Akita Prefecture.
It is registered as one of the Shinmasa brands because the registration is likely to be buried under "Sato Ubei".
Ubei Sato is the name assumed by the head of the Shinmasa Brewery.
The taste is typical of Shinsei, with a predominant acidity.
It has the same alcohol content as the No. 6 series, and the fruity taste is still the same, making it very clean and easy to drink.
It was a valuable experience.
