Lightly cloudy sake
A mellow sake with a dark rice flavor.
The sweetness is quite moderate, with a good acidity and a spiciness that you can feel firmly in the back of your throat.
Delicious 😋.
Sake from a brewery that has been brewed for 200 years in the Kukai district of Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Kukai" is the name of a village in Kusai City, Hyogo Prefecture. Kukai used to be the village of Kukai.
It was the site of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Himeji Naval Air Force.
The remains of the runway can still be seen today.
At that time, there was a factory for SHI-DEN and SHI-DEN-Kai, where test flights and pilot training were conducted.
It tastes exceptional to think that the people of those days would have also drunk sake made by the local Miyake Sake Brewery...
We give thanks and respect to our predecessors.
One of two breweries in Kasai City, Yamadanishiki seed supply area, Hyogo Prefecture.
100% Yamadanishiki from the Kukai district.
Hangs with "QA".
Fairly carbonated and oily.
It does not have the flamboyance of Kuheiji, and is rather flat, but this makes it more flavorful and more drinkable.
The young daughter has taken over the brewery and is switching from a large subcontractor to a small facility that brews year-round.
This is a valuable sake brewery that embodies the terroir, and I wish them the best of luck.
They hope to rebuild the Kiku Nippon brand in the future.
This is my first purchase of sake from a sake brewery.
I noticed this sake brewery when I was driving to Fukyu-Nishiki at the end of last year and was curious about it.
I was going to buy it in person today, but right before I went there, I checked again and found out that the brewery is closed on weekdays only.
I had checked to see if they were only open on weekdays, so I was hoping today would be the day, but I was shocked 😨.
I was shocked 😨 I don't have Facebook or Instagram, so I rely on their website, but I didn't have that kind of information 😭.
I had no choice but to go to a liquor store near that brewery and they were selling it so I bought it.
There was also a sake called "Kue", but I had a gut feeling that this one was better. I bought it on a hunch that it would be better.
Pale yellow in color, the taste is a bit lingering, but it tastes like you're drinking it! I like it.
I like this kind of sake.
This is the fourth bottle of sake I bought at Hyogo Sake EXPO 2022.
The label was originally missing and the brand name was not written on it, so I registered it as Kiku Nihon, a representative brand.
The brother who gave a light-hearted talk said it was his first time to attend the event and that he had never been out of Kasai for 200 years. There was also a petite young woman, who seemed to be the president of the company.
It was thin and cloudy, with a strong acidity that preceded a guttural cemedine-type sweet and spicy taste. The aroma is also a little strong cemedine. It tastes quite interesting, though it is expensive at nearly 3,000 yen.... Usually, you can buy it at a brewery.
( ・・・ω・´)Good morning.
I saw a special on TV or something about a young master brewer.
I wanted to buy some junmai and regular sake because it's kind of cheap, but I see you came to the event.
If it looks good, I'd like to go next time.
Shinjou-san Hello 😃
I know they are offering a cheap one even though it's pure rice. The president has changed and they are doing terroir and stuff, so maybe the lineup will change in the future 🤔.
