「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燦然 特別純米酒 雄町(菊池酒造／岡山県倉敷市) | 日本酒専門WEBメディア「SAKETIMES」

Father's Day present from my eldest daughter😭
And first time in Okayama Prefecture
All of them have a very fruity aroma in common 😆.
It's a sweet and delicious type of wine that is close to a classic.

Classic sake aroma
Classic taste, with a delicious rice flavor and a refreshing taste.
I heard it's aged, but I can't really tell with my stupid tongue😅.
I wonder if it's the fact that it's somewhat peculiar 🤔.
Delicious sake while eating, thank you for the food 🙏!
By the way... have you been able to buy rice?
I ran out yesterday and when I went to the supermarket they were out 😱.
The other one was also out 😱.
I thought I'd eat some sticky rice, but I found it at the third supermarket: 😮💨
The shortage of rice is said to be one of the reasons for last year's poor harvest.
I hope that this year's rice and sake rice will be harvested safely 🙏.

Hi, Pon.
Is it an aged sake? ⤴️
There are so many different kinds of sake 😲.
Sake that goes well with food is one of the best parts 🎵.
I know rice is in short supply, and the local supermarket was certainly empty too 💧.
I really pray for a safe harvest!
Japanese>English

Hi ma-ki-🐦.
I didn't know if it's because I haven't had a regular drink, or if it's because I couldn't tell how matured it was 😂.
I was in a hurry to get the rice 💦 and the one I asked for didn't come 💦 I wonder if it will be ok in this hot weather this year 〰😰.

Hello Pon-chan ☀☀☀

Hello bouken 🐦.
That's... 🥺.

Hi Pon 😃
The availability is mixed, some stores have empty shelves on the sales floor and others are selling them normally, so it doesn't seem like they are completely out of stock 🤔.
I'm praying daily for no high temperature problems this year 🙏🌾...

Hi Pon. 😊
Honjozo fresh stored sake, 😍I think I'm going to go for it. I'm sure it will 😫.
The rice is still rattling. I'm not sure what to do 😓.

I wish I could 😢.

Hi Pon 😊
Sandesi, the quantity is just right and convenient.
Rice, we really don't have any 😱.
Triple punch of extreme heat, inbound demand and earthquake hoarding 😅.
And even if they sell it, it's expensive 💰 I'm worried about sake too😔.

Hi Maru 🐦.
I'm sorry to hear that there are so many reasons 😰It's been a while since I bought some rice, and the price was high quality rice 🤣I should be happy that I was able to buy some 😂.
I heard many times from liquor stores last year that there was a poor sake rice crop, so I'm worried about this year too 🥺.

Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
Yesterday I wanted to eat rice🍚 and went to the local supermarket, but they were out of it.... I was so disappointed 🙁 .

Good evening, Pon-chan 😃I didn't pay much attention to it since rice is delivered to our house from the country of rice (my parents' house), but I see. I have often heard that the price of rice is getting higher, but it is a vicious situation that things are not on the sales floor 😱.

I see you bought brown rice because you didn't have any 😰It's interesting how different people buy different things next time (excuse me🙏).

Good morning, Shinjo-san 🐥.
It's very rare to find a freshly stored honjozo, aged, isn't it? Maybe that's why you gave it to me as a souvenir 🤔.

On the last day of the holiday, Kaorin and I walked to the Expo Park 🚶♂️
We had our usual lunch at the Japanese Garden in the Expo Park 😀.
Today's lunch was accompanied by a special Junmai cup of Sanzen sake that Kaorin bought on her business trip to Okayama.
It's a crisp, dry and sharp sake that went well with the rice we had for lunch 😇.
The dry sharpness of this sake is perfect for dishes with strong flavors 😀.

Hi Yasbay & Kaorin 😃.
I tend to stay at home and just hang around 😅I'd like to learn from your healthy lifestyle 😅.
I don't think you can drink too much if it's a cup of sake, but please drink a lot of soothing water etc. 🏃 as you might get drunk in the heat.

Hi Yasbay 😃.
In this hot weather 🥵, it's a discipline in the name of walking 😅I'm sure you'll get through it and have a perfect lunch box 🍱 and dry sake 🍶 at the oasis garden.

Hi Wakata 😀
Well... it's really hot 😅.

This is one of the Okayama local sake series that I received as a gift.
It is said to be slightly sweet, but it also has a dry taste. It has a good balance. It has a peculiar flavor and sweetness like mango.
I like sake with a peculiar taste!

Mellow and mild. Yet, there is no lingering peculiarity. It is an easy-drinking, mellow type of sake. I like it cold, but it also goes well at room temperature or warmed.

Sanzen香り 純米吟醸 原酒 夏酒
ペンギンブルー
Sour and fruity aroma of apples and other fruits.
When you drink it, it is totally rice in comparison to the aroma.
After a soft sweetness, it has a firm graininess.
The alcohol is slightly spicy.
There is a sharp bitterness at the end, but it has a good sharpness.
When it is lukewarm, it tastes a little bit like a messy taste.
But it is delicious.
Taste degree ☆3/5

Sake ordered by Umaisan.
Unlike the Kirameki Sanzen series, this sake was not fruity, but had a slight sweetness and acidity.

Report on the second day after opening the bottle. I bought this bottle because I was attracted to Omachi. A wonderful ginjo aroma. A juicy and gorgeous aroma. The firm sweetness is nicely balanced by the acidity. Delicious♪ I love fried pea pods. Salt and pepper accentuate the sweetness, and the sharpness of the oil drains away. The shimeji mushrooms and mozuku-zu vinegar go well together. The pork and vegetables stewed in milk is also peppery and brings out the flavor of the sake. Yesterday, I paired it with a Taiwanese delivery, and it went well with the spicy flavor. It was a delicious sake.

Today, I'm drinking Sanzen❗️ its Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu❗️❗️ from Kikuchi Shuzo in Okayama Prefecture.
Personally, I think it is okay to drink at least one of the four items of junmai unfiltered nama sake at an izakaya, so this is a sake that I feel is a good sake by its name ❗️❗️, even though I am drinking it for the first time.
The aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of ginjo. A sip of this sake is refreshingly sweet with raw acidity on the tongue❗️It is also a good sake as a food sake❤️
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Store Drinking.
The color appears to be slightly amber.
Smell is that of banana flavor🍌. It has a gentle sweetness.
When you sip it, it still has a banana-like sweetness.
The aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
The ginjo aroma is subdued and does not interfere with the cleanliness.
As the name suggests, it certainly evokes a glowing image ✨.
A sake that will make you feel refreshed when you are down 🍶⭐️
