KAMIKAI MIZUHASHIKO KUGOU
Yes, it's from the Kamikai family 👕.
GW is still a weird sake with a taste called rare cheesecake or pineapple yogurt 🤣.
I will drink it cold.
The color is clear with a hint of yellow.
The initial aroma is a very unique sour alu aroma.
The mouthfeel flows smoothly. Maybe a little viscous on the tongue.
The taste is impressively sweet and sour.
The aroma on the nose is lactobacillus-like and for a moment seems like cheesecake.
Rather than sweetness, the presence of dense acidity leaves a mass of sourness on the tongue until after swallowing.
The description says "Sake brewed with brewer's yeast using a 500-year-old brewing method," but I was frustrated that I couldn't use "Bodai yeast..." because it is a water yeast with a natural lactic acid fermentation process.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)
Polishing ratio:60
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
Alcohol content:15
Sake mother: Mizu-hashiroshi
Sake degree / Acidity: -22 / 3.5
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛Yes, it is officially approved by the brewery(?). I am a member of the Kamikai family 😁Kamikai has been sitting in my fridge for a long time 🤣Bouken-san also rated it low in perversity, so I think you can drink it surprisingly easily👍.
Oh! That's right, it's a pervert's drink!
Hi Nemuchi 👋
I guess it smells like that ......?
I also smelled a slight aroma of Hanaboe's mizu-hashiroshi, but if it's sweet and sour, I wonder if I can drink it 🤔?
Good evening, Sake Run 🌛The aroma was totally fine in my opinion 🙆♂ It's supposed to be a legitimate kinky sake, but it's slightly less kinky 😁 But you might want to sample Kamikai in a department store before deciding to buy it 🤣.
Musuhi is still drinkable 💧......... but the ministry
I finally used up all of it after more than a year of work (i.e. cooking sake. I couldn't really drink that one 😭💦💦.
Drinking at home.
The aroma is like that of apricots. It has a slightly thickened, apricot-like sweetness on the palate, which disappears with a moderate acidity. As the name suggests, it is sweet and sour, with an image similar to that of Koei Kiku no Ikubou.

KAMIKAI HATADA ☆ SQUASH
A limited-edition sake brewed with sake made from noble sake.
Mr. Hatada said he adjusted the bubbles to prevent them from spurting out, but we opened the bottle with trepidation.
I opened and closed the bottle for about 2 minutes, loosened the cork until the bubbles just stayed on the surface of the water, and left it for a while.
Then the surface of the water rose and fell on its own... 😳
I've never seen anything like this 🤣.
But please don't use blue bottles because it's hard to see 💦.
Serve cold.
The color is quite milky white with some ori.
You can't see the bubbles that were spewing so much.
The aroma is of freshly cooked rice with a hint of steam and yogurt.
The mouthfeel is light and light. Yogurt-like sourness and flavor. After swallowing, there is a slight citrus aroma that passes through the nose and a bit of bitterness on the tongue.
The sake is -30 on the sake scale, but the high acidity makes it feel refreshing.
Not too much like a perverted sake 😁.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), sake (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio:70%.
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki
Alcohol content:16
Sake degree / Acidity: -30 / 2.6
Good morning, Nemuchi-san: ☀️
Congratulations on opening the bottle 🎊
I was scared to open the bottle myself, but the screw cap helped 💦.
That was a delicious drink👍.
Good evening Robin 🌛Thank you 🙇 We were able to open this one without too much trouble 😁This time I appreciated the screw cap 😊I also talked to Mr. Hatada who made it so it was twice as delicious 🤣.
It's GW in the world, and I don't have much to do with it because I'm working, but the only GW feeling I have is that the traffic on Route 8 is heavier than usual when I commute to work💦.
Well then, let's continue at our own pace tonight with a glass of sake.
Shinkai Junmai Ginjo Harusame
Again, we compared the sake with a guginomi and an oinokuchi.
［Gulping down the sake]
A faintly fruity aroma, a full-bodied umami and acidity that finishes with a lingering bitterness in the back of the throat.
［Inokuchi]
Slightly sweet aroma, clear flavor and acidity, and a pleasant aftertaste that lingers in the throat.
As you get used to drinking it, the light aroma that escapes through the nose, the sharpness of the umami and acidity, and the bitterness at the end fit well with the image of Haruna.
I bought this sake at the sake corner in the basement of Hanshin Department Store when I dropped by there before the off-line meeting of the Sake-no-wa Kansai at the beginning of March, when the brewer came and held a sake tasting.
At that time, I felt a little more sweetness, but maybe it was because I compared it with other sakes 🤔.
I served with sashimi of striped horse mackerel, smoked salmon and Engawa yukke (Japanese style yukke) that I bought at a Hokkaido product exhibition.
The fourth one is the new Kirin beer I've been into lately [Harukaze], which has a delicious sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste.
The beer was served with Nagara Foods' Horumon-yaki (grilled hormone), which I found at Lawson.
Hi Gyve, hello.
It's been a while since I've had a chance to take a slow look at your site, and as usual, your photo layout is wonderful 😁.
Looks delicious with beer, sake and snacks✨
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
The dinner set is still beautifully tailored ☺️
Is the sakagashi stone sceptre? I'm curious to know the difference between ceramic, porcelain, tin and wood 🤔.
It's getting hotter and beer is good 🍺.
Good morning, Jive 🐥.
I see you bought this sake! It's easy to drink and tastes great ❣️ I can suggest a fruity gulp, but I've been loving the lingering taste lately 😁.
I love the matching coasters ✨
Good morning, ma-ki-san!
I've been trying to arrange the dishes with reference to Kazuhiko Ota's book, but if I don't position them quickly, both the drinks and the food will get cold, so I usually end up with the same composition 😁.
Good morning, Aladdin!
［The sakagomi, the boar cup, and the coaster are made of sakotani stone 😁.
The difference from other materials is the aroma, the texture, and the color change of the part where the sake is poured when it gets wet ✨.
Good morning, Pon-chan!
I bought sake from "Chiyomusubi" and "Sawanoi" who were having a tasting event together and decided not to buy only "Kamikai" 😁.
After tasting a few different types, I personally decided on this one✨.
Limited edition sake for the first time at the kurabiraki (opening of the brewery). Made with Kijo sake.
This sake was also purchased by Kyukura and Nemuchi, who went to the Kurabiraki event together.
Hatada-san said he was adjusting it, and it is actually quite better than HATADA☆SHAKE, but it is the type that spurts up a lot 😳.
It's a solid sweet and tasty schwarz, but it also has a strong sake taste.
Good morning bouken 🐥.
I was wondering if it spurts as much as the shake, but it doesn't 😳 It looks so delicious and shwirly 😭I regret not buying it 😅I also like to drink shakes sometimes 😅
Good evening, Ponchan 😃
I guess if you spew that much in 500ml, you'll run out of drink 🤣It didn't have the sludgey feeling like a shake, it was more like a normal active nigori 😊.
This time it is HATADA☆SQUASH.
This sake was brought back to Koka and Konan at the time of the opening of the breweries.
When we opened the bottle, it did not blow at all.
It has a foamy bubbles and a solid nigori.
It has a yogurt-like aroma of young bamboo.
When you take a sip, it is lighter than expected, with a refreshing yogurt taste from the shwashy mouthfeel. The yogurt-like sweet and sourness flows down the throat like dried fruit, and the lingering sweet and sourness is followed by a taste of rice flour like white bean flour.
It is refreshing with a strong shwash and deliciously drinkable.
The sake has a sake strength of -20 and an acidity of 2.6, which is a very good spec.
This time I prepared bulgogi and ham katsu for pairing.
The refreshing, shwashy sweet and sour taste goes well with these sweet and oily side dishes 😊.
Looking back at the photos in my phone,
I remember taking a picture with a Peruvian food vendor who had a stall at Jinkai 😅.
I was also forcing a picture with the beautiful sisters nearby 😅💦.
You were forcing me to take a picture of the sake I bought in the middle of the rice field😅💦.
Tokaido Spring Sake Brewery Tour was a fun adult field trip 😆🎒🍶✨
Peco, good evening 🦉.
I stopped buying it because I thought it would be difficult to open the bottle if it was like the Hatada Shake 💦I wanted it if it didn't blow 😂 Looks delicious ❣️
The Peruvian guy was funny 😆I guess he had a lot of fun 👍
Good morning, Pon-chan. ☀️ Peruvians worked hard to call out the loudest at the God's opening 🌈This drink was surprisingly spurts-free and out of sync, but I appreciate that I can drink it safely without spilling it 😊.
Good morning, Miss Peco!
I can tell from your photos that you had a lot of fun and drank quite a bit🤣.
The yogurt strong shuwa shuwa, looks very delicious👍.
Hi, Hirupeko 😀
I think the Shiga brewery opening was a really fun field trip for adults because of the great weather😇.
I was interested in this sake, but had to give it up because there were other sake I was interested in 😅.
Good evening, Maru-brother. Well, we already had a good time, and since this was the third brewery of Kamikai, you were very drunk 😆 It was a delicious sake, easy to drink like the picture on the label 😋.
Good evening, Yasube-san. I was wondering what to take home with me since all the sake breweries at the brewery opening were so attractive 😫 I regretted buying that one afterwards... I will have to go back next year 😁.
Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in Spring (3)
It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Mitomiku's to get there 👣.
More homey than the previous two breweries.
Children who asked, "Would you like some sake?
and the children who asked "Do you want some sake?
The tasting system here is to pour the sake yourself.
I drank a variety of sakes, but the one I liked is in the upper right corner.
The one on the left is Mizumoto.
I liked the slightly peculiar lactic acid sweet and sour taste. I guess there are different tastes 🤔.
Right side〈Koji Masamashii
I liked it the most because of its sweetness. ❣️
I wanted to change my taste buds, so I ordered the sakeglia on the lower left side (charged).
Sangria is a sangria made with sake and various fruits. Delicious to drink while eating fruit!
After this, we took a shuttle bus to the Kisegawa site.
Eleven breweries offered sake tasting. I liked Hatsuzakura's Hatsukoi and Laughing Four Seasons Retro Label.
Here I ran into a group of Kyuzo, bouken, and Nemuchi!
I thought I might not see them again, so I was very happy to see them. ❣️
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood after visiting so many places 😆.
I bought taiyaki and ate them at the kitchen car at the end of the event. It was delicious 💕!
Good evening, Pon-chan. I was just uploading the same Kamikai. Yes, it was cute when the child explained to me that this is the sake they recommend 😊It was a lovely brewery with a homey feel 💕.
Good evening Peco 🦉.
Hatadasquash, I see you got it 😆 I will take my time to look at it 🙏.
I'm sure it's the whole family! The Peruvian vendor was very excited and funny too 🤣.
Pon, I'm so glad you're here 😃.
I'm so relieved to see your kids helping out: ☺️
20-30 minutes between breweries 😳I was wondering how much walking you did in one day 😅I see you also had a shuttle bus! Great to see you and your friends 🤗
Jay and Nobby, thank you so much for your support 😊.
I'm ready to drink, but it's nice to hear you say that. ❣️The kids did a great job guiding us ✨.
I feel the need to work out on a regular basis for the brewery tours🤣.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
Did you walk to Kamikai-san? 😳
I couldn't make it on the first day because of the timing of the shuttle bus 💦.
I would have loved to have tasted many things 😭. 😭
Good evening Robin 🦉.
Last year there was a shuttle bus schedule, but this year there was none 💦It's a problem because they don't come at equal times 😭It's not worth the time it takes to walk 😂I hope next year will be better!
I bought some sake from Kamikai-san at the time of the brewery opening 🍶.
We only drove there to buy the sake that day so no tasting 😭.
I was so worried because I had decided to buy one bottle from each brewery to buy from other breweries as well 😊.
I decided to buy this one because it was a limited edition sake and because I like strong fizzy sake.
Finally the day of drinking at home!
I was told that the fermentation in the bottle was strong, so I opened it carefully and was right: ❗️
If I wasn't careful, it would have spilled out 🤣.
The taste is refreshing, with just the right amount of acidity and sweetness that I liked.
It was 500ml and it ran out quickly 😁.
Hi Robin 😀
I'm glad you were able to drink it properly and without blowing it safely: ㊗️
I bought a bottle of Yuki-Kasumi by Mitomiku because I was told it would definitely blow, but now I'm anxious to open the bottle 🤣.
Good evening, Yasube!
If I was not careful, I would have been in trouble 💦the screw cap saved my life😁.
Please let me know when you open a bottle of Yuki Kasumi 👍.
Good evening Robin 😃
I heard in the brewery that it's fine because it's adjusted, but it spurted up pretty high 💦I wish it wasn't a screw 😱It was 500ml in no time 😁.
Good morning bouken ☀.
I see you've been adjusting 😃.
It won't be like the snow haze, but I was in a hurry because it came up higher than I expected 💦 and the 500ml ran out quickly 🤣.
Continued...
Koji Mashimashi Junmai Genjyu
I heard that it has become much rounder and tastier. I thought it was very tasty indeed. I was told that it was very difficult to make because there was no rice to dissolve with koji because the koji is 70% koji and 30% kake rice. He said he would not make it next year 😁.
Harusame Junmai Ginjo
It had an aroma and was delicious with a modern fruity sweetness. I had the same impression as when I tasted it at Hanshin Department Store.
Amazappai Junmai Genshu
The sweet and sourness of this one is amazing. The sourness is clearly superior to the sweetness. It is like wine. The toji-san said that harusame and "Amaupai" are not like us.
Rin to shite Junmai Genshu.
A proper, orthodox, easy-drinking sake.
Very hot Junmai Genshu.
The attack was so spicy, I couldn't help but say 💦.
Paid Tasting
Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku Shisui
A high quality sake that costs 10,000 yen for a four-pack. Beautiful and proper sake 😁.
Junmai Daiginjo Miyano Shikisui
This is a high-end sake that costs about 3,500 yen for a four-pack. I like it because it is beautiful, gorgeous and tasty.
At the end, I asked Mr. Hatada, the brewer of HATADA☆SHAKE, how to open a bottle without blowing it up, and he told me it would definitely blow up.
Kami Kaiki, awesome 🥳.
Robin, good evening 🌛Kamikai is a wonderful brewery where 30% of the production is kinky sake, and the head brewer is a very friendly person, so next time you visit, be sure to taste the sake and listen to the story 😊.
Participated in the Spring Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour, a brewery opening of six sake breweries in Shiga Prefecture.
The local kuzo and his wife gave us a ride in their car and we toured the breweries with bouken. They were very helpful🙏.
Shiga Prefecture brewery tour (1) Fujimoto Sake Brewery
I am a fan of this brewery, so I wore my Kamikai T-shirt over my shirt to the tasting area.
I was wearing the same outfit as the brewery staff, so when I went to get a tasting cup, the woman in charge of the tasting gave me a "What? I said 😅"Right" and she laughed and said "I thought you were a member of our staff" 😁Nobuyuki Fujimoto, the toji of the brewery, who was standing beside me, said "You are a member of the Jinkai family" and I was so excited 🤩"Yes, I am a member of our family". I said "Yes, I'm a member of the family" and he said "Please take it easy today" in a friendly manner, and then he told me I could be part of the family 🙏 Thank you very much!
Free Tasting
MIZUHIYASU, KUGU NO.
It's like a rare cheesecake... and it's sitting in the fridge at home, so I'll taste it slowly later.
KT-901 Junmai Genshu (pure rice sake)
The yeast that produces succinic acid, a component of shellfish flavor, is called "dashi" at the brewery.
To be continued...
Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi 🦉.
I guess you were a family 🤣I'm sure the guests would ask you questions if you were wearing a Kamikai T-shirt😆You must have been excited from the start🎶.
I'm sure you were excited from the very beginning 🎶.
Pon-chan, good evening 🌛I'm so glad I stocked up on the Kamikai T-shirts, they treated me like family 😆 Several other people bought them on the spot 👕Pon-chan also got her picture taken a lot 🤣.
Good morning Nemuchi 😃
I wish I could have seen you at the Nemuchi-San 🤣I couldn't make the schedule this year, but please take me to the family slot sometime 😁.
Hi Rafa papa,☀I was so excited to visit the first brewery at the opening of the brewery ⤴️ I couldn't join you this time, but I'm glad you enjoyed the second day as well😊You can become a member of the Kamikai family if you buy a T-shirt 🤣.
Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in Spring (2)
I had to split this post because it was over the number of characters 💦.
Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku Shisui
A premium sake for a paid tasting. It is a beautiful sake, but I was a little bothered by its peculiar taste 🤔.
Junmai Daiginjo Miyano Shiki
This is also a paid tasting. Gorgeous and beautiful sake. I prefer it to Murasaki water.
The brewer, Mr. Hatada, was at the booth for the paid tasting, and Nemuchi asked him how to open HATADA SHAKE well.
He said it is impossible to open it without spurting 🤣.
All three of us bought Hatada-san's limited edition sake at this brewery 😊.
We had a chicken sandwich at a Peruvian restaurant 😋!
The free tasting system at this brewery was to pour the sake yourself, so I poured more than I should have, and I regretted that I skipped too much from the first brewery...
I was sorry that I poured too much and skipped the first tasting........
I forgot to write something important!
When we arrived at the brewery, Nemuchi-san was wearing a Kamikai T-shirt and the brewer called us a family 🤣.
Hi bouken 😀
We did the same comparison and I liked the Shizuku a lot because of its peculiar taste, but the wife said she liked the beautiful Miyano-Shiki 😇.
I bought the dangerous one recommended by Kyuzo 🍶.
Hi Yasubeyesan 😃
I liked Miyano Shiki as well as Nemuchi 😅.
I bought the dangerous one too, but the guy who made it said it was fine because he adjusted it so it wouldn't spew 😁.
Hi Pon 😃
I guessed that it would be empty if I went there first due to its location 😁On the contrary, I forgot to drink the sachet 😅I had no idea what Peruvian food was by the looks of it unless I asked 🤣.
Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in Spring (1)
I joined this tour with Mr. Kyukura and Ms. Nemuchi!
We met at Moriyama Station and were driven by Kyukura-san's wife to visit each brewery.
The first brewery was Fujimoto Sake Brewery, which joined the tour for the first time.
The first brewery was Fujimoto Sake Brewery, a newcomer to the tour, and it was relatively deserted, probably because it was just after the tour started.
We drank
Mizuikyo Kugo-gou Junmai Nama-zake
It tasted as good as the one we drank at home. Rare cheesecake 😋.
Koji-mashimashi-gou Junmai Nama-nihonshu
Yamada Nishiki. It has a strong sweet taste and a thick flavor. I wondered if I should buy it, but I could still buy it at a liquor store even if I didn't buy it here, so I didn't this time.
KT-901 Junmai Namaisake
Yamada-nishiki. It uses a yeast that produces a lot of succinic acid and malic acid. It was not so sweet but tasted delicious with a strong umami flavor. I could understand why they call it "dashi" 🤣.
Harusame Junmai Ginjo Hitohi
Ginbuki. Unlike the first three, it has a modern, up-to-date feel.
It was fire-aged, but it was fresh, sweet, and delicious!
Aw Aw Aw Aw Junmai Nama Nama Sake
Sake made by the brewer, Mr. Hatada. It is made from Yamada Nishiki. It is extremely sweet and sour.
The sourness is more assertive than the sweetness.
Rin Junmai Namaigahara
Nihonbare. This was also sweet, tasty, and easy to drink.
Very dry junmai namaeshu
Sake meter rating +20, Yamadanishiki. It is very hot and has no sweetness at all. It is neither light nor fruity, so it is a little bitter...
Good evening, bouken 😃.
You all are really friendly and active 🤗Kuzo's wife 🚙 was very active and I'm sure you all had a lot to drink 😆Good way to spend your day off👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I'll be attending a lot of events this month 😁.
The MVP of the day was unanimously Mr. Kuuzo's wife 😊👍I couldn't drink much at home because I was flying too fast from the beginning 😵.
YASUBAE Today we came to the Tokaido Sake Brewery Festival in Shiga Prefecture 😀 Thankfully, Kyuzo-san, the head of the Shiga Branch, provided us with a car.
Thankfully, the Shiga branch manager, Kyukura-san, provided us with a car and Rafa papa, who attended last year's festival, was our guide.
We were able to complete the full tour of the 6 breweries and the main venue without incident 😀 Thank you so much to both of you!
Thank you so much to both of you 🙏!
We were able to sample many delicious sakes for free at Laughing Four Seasons and other breweries, but the best tasting was the paid comparison of two different Junmai Daiginjos by Shinkai 😀 I've never had a chance to drink Shinkai before.
I've never had any of Jinkai's sake before, but I'd like to try it at home someday 😇.
Thank you so much, Kyuzo, for being our handle keeper 🙇.
Yasube & Kaorin, thanks for the Sake Brewery Festival😊I hope you had a good time👍.
And you posted so quickly 😳Great 〰✨
I was so distracted by the fruit sake next to me that I forgot to drink it 💦I wonder if I can drink it next year 😂.
Hi Pon-chan 😀
I had enough time to enjoy the sake breweries in Shiga 😀.
We had two great guides who taught us a lot of things so we didn't miss anything 😀.
I hope to go to the Shiga brewery open next year too😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
The spirit of cooperation and passion for the event of Kansai Sake no Wa group is wonderful 🥹It's great that everyone is enjoying the event together 🤗It makes me happy too 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
We are very happy to join our strong and united Kansai friends and have enjoyed the Shiga brewery open day 😇.
We also bought some spring sake from Shiga, so we will be able to have a spring sake drinking festival in the next week or so 😀.
