It seems to be limited to AEON in the Tokai area. It is sweet and tastes good with little miscellaneous taste.
I opened it at the victory party for Grampus' victory in the Levain Cup, but it ran out quickly.
The aftertaste is outstandingly sharp.
Enjoyable with a glass of wine at night.
Today I drink it at room temperature.
It is delicious.
The package
[Name of pattern: Chou-you no Chrysanthemum Flower
Since ancient times, people have prayed for long life on Chou-you-no-Sekku by using chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum coverings. The chrysanthemum has been used in many patterns as a very auspicious and lucky pattern to ward off evil spirits and extend one's life.
The taste is round and refreshing.
The aroma is slightly reminiscent of citrus 🍊.
I think it's a little bit bitter, but that's not a problem.
It was sold at a supermarket for about 1600 yen, but it was a good buy.
[What is different from Zak! What is Zak! ②]
Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten hiyaoroshi drinking comparison.
Following Saku, Suzukagawa 😆.
The top aroma is faintly apple and white bean flour.
The sweetness is less than that of Saku, and the taste is smooth and refreshing at the end.
After swallowing, you can feel the same slightly bitter aftertaste as the Saku, and it is delicious👍.
Unlike the junmai ginjo Saku, this is a junmai sake, but it is even more beautiful and clear than Saku. ✨️
Bottom line, it is similar to Zaku, but it is fun to compare the difference and they are both delicious ‼️

Suzukagawa S Junmai Ginjo
Slightly sweet fruity aroma. Maybe lychee.
Sour astringent taste with a clean aftertaste. The alcohol is moderate and easy to drink. Delicious sake with few peculiarities.
A little bigger than a wine bottle, a little bigger than a four-pack.
It is said to have undergone a renewal in 2024.
The one I drank was before the renewal.
It's not like a crop, a crop!"
I bought another brand of "Suzukagawa" from Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten, which is famous for "Saku" for the sole purpose of saying this.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo with higher specifications than the mass-produced Saku, but I could not tell the difference because I only drank Saku in a glass at an izakaya, but it has a gorgeous ginjo aroma. The taste is slightly bitter but fresh.
I usually drink ginjo-shu in a Riedel glass with legs, but today I used a Tiffany glass. It doesn't have legs (I'm waiting for a standardized comment).
I am glad to hear that you were satisfied with my response, even though it was not a comment, but a response to a comment. However, I don't want to see you go to heaven. Now that you have boarded the Guv, I expect you to perform a jet stream attack or something like that.
Ikaika Iya Sumi-san, my monthly liquor bill is getting bigger and bigger, and although I sometimes come to my senses, I still can't seem to get rid of it.
Junmai Daiginjo from Suzukagawa
Slightly sweet pineapple-like aroma. The aftertaste is umami but clean. The astringency may be less than that of Junmai-Daiginjo. It is also easy to drink with a moderate alcohol content.
I think I will be able to finish the standard lineup of Suzukagawa in a little while...
You know, it is amazing that you can get such a delicious sake in a No. 2 bottle.
It has no cloying taste and a strong umami flavor. The ginjo aroma is not so pronounced.
It's the perfect sake to try as a souvenir.
Next time, I'll buy a No. 4 bottle or something a little bigger...
If you want to drink a little bit of good sake, this is the place to go.
