Sake series purchased in Saga (1) 🍶.
Shichida's local brand
Iwanokura.
According to the sake shop owner, Saga Prefecture's sake is characterized by the umami and sweetness of the rice.
The sake is made to be as sweet as Kyushu's soy sauce, which is often sweet.
It has a juicy, yet balanced impression with a refreshing taste. ⚖️
A gift from an acquaintance
Shichida's limited distribution Iwanokura in Kyushu
If you come to Kyushu, please visit 👀!
Cold sake
Uri-like aroma
More acidic than usual Shichida, perhaps to match with Saga cuisine
Slightly juicy
Slightly long aftertaste.
I was told that it is a limited-quantity sake that can only be purchased at special dealers in the Kyushu area, so I bought the last bottle at Sumiyoshi Shuhan in Hakata Station during a recent business trip 🍶.
It has a sweet and sour aroma like green apple, a smooth mouthfeel, and a sweet and sour taste that spreads in the mouth and has a nice sharp aftertaste 😊.
The assertion of the acidity that rises especially in the latter half is pleasant!
Right 2: Iwanokura Junmai Ginjo
A product distributed only in Kyushu.
The aroma is reminiscent of apples and white peaches. Delicate and soft on the palate.
The sweetness that spreads in the mouth and the subtle acidity are well balanced.
A junmai ginjo-shu that can be enjoyed with food for a long time.

This is a gift from a sake professional, a local sake from Nanada's place. It is quite precious as it is the first pressing... 🙏.
The aroma is juicy fruity and red apple-like.
The mouthfeel is supposed to be fresh, but it also has a mellow, umami-like sweetness that spreads out and is very drinkable 👌👌.
As a lover of the four seasons, I quite like this type. ☺️
I've heard it tastes great warmed up, so I'm going to enjoy it 😋.
Second glass while eating yakitori
Another brand from the brewery that brews Shichida
It has a nice aroma and goes down very smoothly.
The water seems to be from a place with beautiful water, and it is indeed smooth and silky!
It may have tasted a little different since it was from the restaurant, but I thought it had more acidity than umami!
