February Tasting Extravaganza #2 at Icoma Sake Shop
The last one is Boshimaya, which just arrived
2025 Limited Nigori Sake
It looks like a nigori version of the regular junmai unfiltered raw sake!
It's a little bubbly with a slight effervescence.
It tastes sweeter than the standard one, but it has a taste typical of Boshimaya.
I was interested in Kihotsuru Omachi and Buntaro, but this time I bought Morinori Technique, which seemed to sell out early, and Kihotsuru Haba-Nigori, which I couldn't find anywhere else.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo.
There were a lot of sake I was interested in at the tasting, but the Gaba Nigori is only available at Takashimaya and Ikoma in Kansai, so I prioritized this one 😁.
It will be a little while before I can drink it 😅.
Kowata is a new sake bar near Meguro Station that serves sake from about 43 prefectures.
While there were many famous sakes on the menu, I ordered this one, which I had never had before. It was refreshing and quite easy to drink.
Do you have any interesting new arrivals? Usagi Shin BLACK that came out in
They haven't even opened the bottle yet, so they're not even sure what it tastes like 😏.
I myself had my first Boshimaya ✨
I can't smell the aroma clearly because of my stuffy nose lately...
I can smell the cool, dignified and slightly sour taste.
The fine bubbles on the glass I poured it into got me excited 🆙.
The fine bubbles that come out of the glass ✨ are good.
The sweetness and thin acidity are refreshing, and the bitterness that lingers afterwards is nice!
The alcohol content is 17%, but it is not as alcoholic as I thought it would be, so it is good during a meal.
It's 17% alcohol, but it's not as alcoholic as I thought it would be, so it's good while eating.
Thank you for your comment Manabu. I have no vocabulary and have been feeling a bit stuffy lately, so I'm not sure if I can really refer to it. ⚠️ I'm sure it was delicious, so please drink it yourself and let me know what you think of it 😂🙇♂️
Sake with a fresh taste and slight effervescence.
It is a unique sake with a rough, unfiltered, ultra-dry taste.
It is a bit dry and has a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Gifu Prefecture Tokoro Shuzo Brewery Boshimaya Junmai Super Dry Ori-Garami
It has a juicy rice flavor unique to ogara-mi.
It is quite sharp on the tongue.
The acidity adds to the flavor, making it a finish that you will never get tired of drinking.
The fruity nuances give way to the umami of the rice.
As it is claimed to be super-dry, it has a firm flavor, yet it is wonderfully crisp and clean.

After all, Boshimaya is sour 😋.
From the juicy taste of the raw sake
The dry, clean and acidic taste spreads ✨.
It seems to go well with both Japanese and Western food, so there is a wide range of meals to pair it with👍
