「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」

The umami comes first, then the acidity, and finally the sweetness. The sweetness is not too strong and leaves a clean aftertaste.

Taste & Smell】*It is a hazy memory.
In the mouth, the lightness, weight, sweetness, and spiciness are in the middle, and the delicate flavor unique to Junmai Daiginjos can be felt. Also, by the time you swallow it, you can taste the full umami that is typical of Omachi. Compared to the special junmai sake we drank before, the rice is more polished and the miscellaneous flavors seem to be reduced.

Kikuchi Shuzo has been brewing sake the traditional style since 1878. Their mastery of using Okayama's signature rice, Omachi, has been the product of obsessive production control and desire to brew the best. Its current Toji, Tou Kikuchi, still believes the perfect brew is out there somewhere; and still strives for it. - The Art of Sake
We drank Sanzen!
PS: The best sake, we have drunk to date.

Brilliant first time in Okayama: ✨️
Fruity and sweet aroma.
It is once-hot, but it is gorgeous.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the slight carbonation.
It has a juicy, mild sweetness and a moderate acidity that gradually fades away.
It was quite delicious 🍶✨️

Sweet, fruity aroma with a touch of alcohol.
Slight bitterness in the mouth
A slight bitterness and a sweet flavor like that of wasanbon.
A mix of umami and bitterness with a gentle pungency as you drink it down.
and bitterness,
It flows down your throat,
and a lingering feeling of happiness escapes from the nose.
This is also delicious 😋 Thank you for the food 😋.
It seems like the flu has been going around lately, so
Please take care everyone 😷.

Taste & Aroma
The aroma was mild, but the taste was very impressive. This time it was refrigerated, and perhaps due to the temperature, the first few glasses were watery. There was a cleanness here that reminded me of Hanayuup. However, as it became tepid, the taste changed considerably. The moment it entered the mouth, the sweetness and lightness spread, but gradually turned into umami. This alone is delicious enough, but I think the true essence of this sake lies beyond this point. As it is light up to this point, I thought it would have a nice sharpness, but that was not the case. The complex aftertaste reached its peak in about 3 seconds, and I was able to enjoy the lingering aftertaste for more than 5 seconds. I was very happy to enjoy the change in flavor and the lingering aftertaste.
[Food to be served with
This time, I paired it with Negitoro Donburi (Negitoro Bowl). This negitoro has a strong flavor just before it becomes fishy, and was a perfect match for this sake.
This sake is very light, especially when chilled with ice, so it goes well with sashimi of white fish such as sea bream and yellowtail. Also, when chilled to lukewarm, it has a strong umami and aftertaste, so I think it goes well with sashimi of red meat fish such as tuna and bonito.
