Smooth on the palate. and a firm sweetness. The freshness that only unpasteurized sake can provide. As the label says, "sparkle degree MAX". It is a perfect taste for summer. It is made from Omachi rice grown in Okayama and polished to 50%. The alcohol content is 17 degrees.

This is the "3000" Sanzen Aroma Special Junmai Sake Omachi Hi-ire, which I received from SakeShop Kairindo through their Twitter sweepstakes. It is a delicious sake with a mild but gorgeous aroma and a robust flavor 🍶😋.

「燦然（さんぜん）」「木村式 奇跡のお酒」で知られる岡山県・菊池酒造はこれまで、五代目蔵元の菊池東（とう）さんが蔵元杜氏として酒造りをけん引。大吟醸、吟醸クラスの商品を中心に根強いファンを獲得してきました。 東さんの長男・大輔さんは、蔵に帰った2010（平成22）年から国内外の市場に販路を拡大するなど営業面の強化に奔走。蔵内の設備や体制面の整備にも力を入れ、売り上げの拡大に貢献するとともにブランド力の強化にも尽くしています。 そして2023（令和5）年9月には大輔さんが代表取締役に就任。東さんは会長に就くとともに、引き続き杜氏を兼任する形で今酒造年度を迎えました。今後の動向が注目される中、大輔さんは六代目としてどんな蔵の未来像を描き、経営していくのでしょうか。これまでの軌跡とともに紹介します。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア

Brilliant today. This may be the first time in my life to drink sake from Okayama. Omachi is the most famous sake in Okayama, isn't it? I had it cold. It is 100% Omachi with a rice polishing ratio of 65%. The alcohol content is 15-16%. The sweetness level is slightly dry. It was brewed while listening to Mozart. The first impression is a clean and sharp taste, followed by a full-bodied Omachi-like flavor. The bitterness lingers in the aftertaste, and it seems to have more punch than its alcohol content. It seems to be delicious even when heated. Only 5 prefectures left to conquer in Japan!

Hello, Shikatarou! Five more prefectures to conquer in Japan is awesome! I like Omachi the best for sake rice. I haven't had a bottle of Sanzen yet, so I'd like to try it 😀.

Yes, I'm still comparing various drinks as there are still so many things I don't understand! I'll try to pick up a bottle of Sanzen when I see it!

It is served at night in Kurashiki. This sake has a strong sweetness. It doesn't flow smoothly, but strangely enough, it doesn't seem unpleasant. It is so rich that it is just right with soda. However, most of the sake sold in the Bikan Historical Quarter is 500ml in size, and has a tough-looking font.

We had a bottle of Sanzen Yamahai by Kikuchi Shuzo in Kurashiki, Okayama. It has a slightly sweet taste, but it has a slippery sake character. Today it was served at room temperature. Tomorrow I will try warming it up a little.
