I saw this ad for this drink at the counter, went back to the fridge, took it to the cashier and bought more.
Definitely a mild taste. Slightly refreshing.
I was in a good mood and enjoyed it.
Thank you very much.
I was looking for a stylish bottle of sake to give as a gift and found Kiss of Fire.
I had to check the taste before giving it to someone! I looked and saw that there was a trial set that included a Junmai Daiginjo, Kiss of Legend, so I bought it.
Kiss of Fire tasted very fruity with a hint of spiciness.
Kiss of Legend is sweeter but has a stronger sake taste.
I was surprised at the difference in taste between junmai ginjo and junmai daiginjo.
I usually prefer the sake with a stronger sake flavor, but I think I prefer the fruity Kiss of Fire.
I'm thinking of giving it to someone as a gift, so the fruity and festive one would be better for the celebration! So, for gifts, Kiss of Fire is tentatively No. 1.
I would like to find another sake that looks and tastes good as a gift or for a drinking party where people can bring their own sake.
In fact, it is said that not much of Jokigen's regular sake is available outside of the local area. (You can buy it on the Rakuten market, though.)
Even an amateur can feel the goodness of the water on the attack and the clean aftertaste. The alcohol taste is light and easy to drink.
The aroma and sweetness of the rice are typical of Miyamanishiki.
It has a robust flavor with little lingering aftertaste. When it returns to room temperature, the taste becomes mellower and goes well with chicken liver sashimi.
It is the same "Hyakumangoku No Shiro" as Manzairaku.
The rice is polished to a 48% ratio, but the flavor is robust and powerful.
The latter half is quite sweet and delicious.
It is the same price as Manzairaku, but this one is more satisfying.
Exciting! It's tangy, but the sweetness that remains is surprising, it's too much of a star, and the name is very good. The more you drink, the more delicious it becomes.

The taste is very drinkable, and the pleasant acidity supports it and makes you drink more and more.
The depth of this sake can be felt because it is a Yamahai sake.
This sake also does not make you feel its alcohol content.
Last weekend was the annual festival at a local shrine.
This year, too, I participated in the lion dance procession as a member of the shrine's Ujiko (shrine parishioners).
During the parade, which goes from house to house, we look forward to the sacred sake from the local people's "Resting Gaiin".
What kind of sake did you encounter this year?
First up was Ishikawa's Jokigen.
It was 20 minutes into the tour, so there was no need to rest, but we were grateful for the sake.
What I wonder about every year at this house is an old jar of Manazuru. When was it made? Phone number 5.
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
The lion dance series will take a break from the sake language.
