This is the time of year when there is plenty of draft sake, so hurry up and try your first ㊗️ sake challenge ‼️ tonight is Kitajima-san👍. With this appearance, I thought it must be Japanese food, so the lineup included grilled Hokke, a little bit of sashimi of tuna, mekabu with hot egg, fried asparagus, mushrooms and homemade pancetta, and pickles. ‼️ Mr. Kitajima has a fresh, slightly cemedine-like aroma, and a sweet-bitter, or maybe umami-bitter because it's not very sweet 🧐 No, the end result is a peculiar sourness. Not spicy at all! But not sweet! Yeah, it's delicious 😋💕. It doesn't interfere with any of my meals, it's very nostalgic! I'd love to try the rest of the lineup 🥰. I'm in charge of shinsake3 for impressions of the alcoholic beverages on their own💕.

Good evening, Mr. Pekho😄You've been going toward the dry side lately, Mr. Pekho⁉️ Kitajima, from your image it looks spicy💦I think it would be suitable for Japanese food sake🧐On the contrary, it would complement your dishes🥰I applaud your challenge👏.

HinaHanaMama 💕That's a surprise it's not spicy at all ‼️ but the label and name looks spicy 🤣I was worried when I bought it but I trusted the endorsement👍It looks modern, the complete opposite of the image. It's rather smooth and easy to drink 🥰.

Good morning, Pekho-san 😃. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Kitajima-san 😋When we say it's good, you might think it's dry 😅It's really honestly good 🤗It's also great to have a table that Kitajima-san would enjoy 🤗‼️

Hi Pekho-san 🐦 Thank you for choosing Shiga sake. Thank you for choosing Shiga sake despite your worries😊I am also aiming for this sake and would like to match it with Japanese food when I get it! I would like to finish with Yosaku or Matsuri 🎶😁.

Ponchan🩷So true! It was the first liquor store I discovered and they had all the sake from Shiga ‼️ lol Shiki, Matsu no Tsukasa, and Kitajima, I think they still had some. I'm going back to buy some more 👍I think I'll buy some Kitajima and go home 🎵🤭.

Jay & Nobby 🩷Good morning 😃I'm enjoying the sake more and more 🤣I'm dreaming that one day we can all drink together, but first I'm going to go on a sake brewery tour to look for your recommendations👍.

Overall 9 (out of 10) Never had this series + first time at a liquor store. Pekho-san bought it for me after agonizing over it for an hour 😊. This is my first Kitajima 😃. According to the description The description reads: "Aromatic and mellow. Soft acidity unique to Mizukagami, and a pleasant aftertaste. Fresh and vibrant. The description says it all. Delicious ❣️😋 I have the impression that this is similar to the Yamazan we had yesterday👍. Yamasan has a sweet and delicious taste in the mouth, followed immediately by an unctuous bitterness, which is quickly cut off. Such is my impression 😋. We served it chilled. Pairing impressions were made by Pekho-san Here are my personal impressions Aroma Sweet and delicious aroma. Taste sensation The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum)  -Spiciness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste  -Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste  -Sourness: 2 at the beginning → 2 in the aftertaste  -Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 0 lingering 0  -Astringency: Start 1→ Lingering 1  -Umami: 3 at the beginning → 2 in the aftertaste Mouthfeel】→3 Smaller number = light and smooth Large number = thick and rich (5 is the maximum)

Good evening, shinsaku3😄Kitajima-san, you are very different from the image I had of you. ❗️ I thought you were super dry💦I see that Peckho-san was so worried about this one 😆I'll give it a try when I get a chance 🤣.

Yes, I was really worried lol. The image and the endorsement are totally different. ‼️ I drove an hour to get there and spent an hour worrying about it and bought it👍It was worth the effort 💕.

Good morning, shinsaku3 😃! Oh, I see you've joined Kitajima-san! I've never had the -3 Mizukagami from here 🤗I'm sure it has a sharp taste like Kitajima-san 👍Let's drink Kitajima-san together 😋!

Hi shinsaku3 🐦. Mizukagami looks delicious 😻It was worth the trouble 😉I've heard that this one and Miyamanishiki have a softer pungent taste than Subchan's so I keep aiming for it 😁I'll have to drink it!

Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃 I didn't get the impression that this brand is very dry 😊. It was quite balanced with a sweet and tasty finish 👍.

Hi Jay & Nobby😃. It was quite a fresh impression as it was more about the sharpness rather than the midway through the drink👍. I'm interested in your other brands 😃.

Hi Pon 😃 Subchan ❗️🤣 Indeed. The taste that is sharp except for the sweet and tasty, it's sharp but soft. That's my impression 😋. I have to drink the others 🍶.

Tamaei, Junmai, Kamihashirai 30BY/2018 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Polishing ratio 65%, ALC 15 Sake meter degree +11 Acidity 1 Yeast No. 6 First, it was served cold. It is amber in color with a bitter taste in the mouth, and has a strong old sake-like aroma and wild flavor. Next, warm it up. The rice flavor comes out and mellows out a bit, but the wild flavor is still there 😋. Chigasaki Hoshido: 20250318 purchased & opened
