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

Looks like the rest of the world will be on vacation tomorrow... but I'll be 🍶charged for work ✨. Before that... yesterday and today our town held its annual Sake Festival 🍶. The main attraction for drinkers at this festival is the ticketed sake plaza where you can drink about 900 brands from all over the country 😅I haven't been to the plaza for a long time 😅It used to be a dream place where you could drink all you wanted for about 2,000 yen for an advance ticket...now it seems rather expensive 😭 Well, I'm sorry for the long preamble, but tonight we will be drinking our first sake from Okayama 🌃 brilliant✨! It's one of the few draft sakes available this time of year😍. When you open the bottle... it smells like muscat, melon🍈, and strawberry🍓 in a good way...grin ✨ lol I will have a sip from the first sip 😋. It has a light, sweet taste with almost no bitterness or other unpleasant flavors 🥰. The sweetness quickly recedes from the aftertaste: ❗️ It is very easy to drink and has a high degree of perfection without being too rich. ❗️ It's not a flaw, but it's a little high in alcohol content because it's a pure sake, so it might be tough for weak drinkers. And...I was expecting a little bit of the freshness and sizzle that comes with nama-shu, but I didn't feel much of that at all💧. I think it would go well with vanilla ice cream 🍨 after dinner 🤤. Day 2: 🗒️ I thought it would increase the flavor... but it didn't 🤔 I think it got a little thicker ✨?

Okayama Prefecture's local sake, Brilliant. It is not too much to say that you can always find it in local sake stores in Okayama. My impression was that it tasted more modern and refreshing than I expected. I thought it was a good sake from Okayama to buy as a souvenir 🍶.

Moderate flavor, sweetness and acidity are weak, It has a bitter taste with a hint of sweetness and acidity. Perfect as an in-mouth sake for Japanese cuisine.

Purchased at my usual liquor store. I thought that the frequency of purchase was not good, but I bought more to cherish the ones I had already purchased. The aroma is like muscat, which is typical of Okayama. Fruity. The taste is sweet. There is no bitterness in the aftertaste, and it is perfect for those who like fruity sake. There is a light effervescence. Alcohol 16%. Rice polishing ratio 65 Color Colorless

Slightly ripe rice smell. When you take a sip, you can feel the graininess. Full flavor. Pungent and tangy. The acidity is grainy and has a sharp and crisp feeling. This is delicious, cosy, and well-balanced in autumn. 4/5 stars for my taste.

The first sip is refreshing, but the density that lingers on the tongue is gorgeous without being too thick!
