Chichibu-Nishiki Special Junmai Nama-shu Shiboritate
18% 60% 1800ml
We went to Yao Honten in Chichibu to buy our favorite Chichibu Nishiki.
It has a thicker texture, and the bitterness from the lactic acidity is like grapefruit. It has a punch and a strong flavor. It has a sweetness, but also has a man's sake feel to it.
The boss of the Kinsho-kai told me that Chichibu-nishiki is a traditional sake, and that it might not be tasty. He praised me for changing his image of Chichibu-Nishiki.
I heard that they have started making a new sake called "Wolf Flame" for distributors, but I wonder how it is. I guess it is a trendy sake, but I am curious about it.

It is juicy with a different taste from the recently released Wolf Flame.
The aroma is cute and sweet with a hint of springtime sweetness and acidity.
When you drink it, a round, fresh sweetness spreads at once, followed by a slightly thick but refreshing acidity.
The sweetness increases in thickness and the acidity suppresses it, giving it a fresh and delicious flavor.
The sharpness of the taste is sweet, but it is relatively well balanced with the sweetness of spring and the freshness of the taste.
Personally, I think strawberries, cream cheese, cured ham, strawberries or a little lemon and balsamic sauce would go well with this wine.
Both were delicious.
The aroma is sweet and floral.
The mouthfeel is soft and sweet, but soon after, one can taste the pungency of alcohol and a slight acidity. The aftertaste is refreshing, but a little astringent and pungent.
However, you do not feel the alcohol level of 20 degrees Celsius.
Alcohol 20 degrees Celsius
Sake strength: high
Acidity Slightly low
Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jarred sake is sake that has not been modified in any way, which has dripped from the press of the mash.
Freshly squeezed sake from the jar 2025. Alcohol content 20 degrees.
The balance of spiciness and sweetness makes you go for it even if the alcohol content is high 😍 #Drinking at home #Drinking with dinner
One year aged sake in a jar.
The first sip of this pale yellowish sake has a full rice flavor. Then the mellow aroma that wafted through my nose.
I have never been a fan of sake that has been aged for a long time, but this was delicious!
