First time in Ryujinmaru🐲.
I've been wanting to drink this brand for a long time...
The aroma is very rich and rich 😆.
It looks heavy from the aroma lol
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the robust umami spreading in your mouth from the attack.
The umami and acidity is like that of a sake yeast yeast yeast.
It is very robust and heavy!
However, I like this kind of sake as well, so I can drink it without hesitation. ❤️
We enjoyed it with sashimi and stewed motsu.
The third picture is the motsu-ni (boiled and seasoned pork cutlet) from Marusan Shokudo, which I've introduced a few times.
You can buy it for about 1,000 yen for 700 grams, so if you're interested, try it 💰.
This was a pretty robust and classically nice sake 🍶.
Hi Manachie 😃
I've always wanted to try Ryujinmaru at least once 🐉It's as zushy as it looks like it's massive 🧐Now that my stomach is feeling a bit zushy after my Bon vacation binge 😅I think it might be appropriate along with the motsu you recommended 😋.
Good evening, chika 🌆The stores that sell it are quite limited, but try your best to get it... it's quite classic and heavy, so you can drink it slowly 🤣.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌇Ryujinmaru is something I've wanted to drink since I read Moyashimon, and I finally got around to it 🍶‼️Ryujinmaru and motsu-ni (boiled pork) on a binge drinking holiday...hmm, I wonder if I'm resting 🤣
The store where I bought it told me to drink it slowly over a period of 3 months.
At first, it was very alcoholic and strong in a good way, but it gradually calmed down and the strongness disappeared and the spiciness started to come out. It is a good sake to drink with salty foods to reduce the pungency and increase the umami.
I was able to taste the rare sake correctly and deliciously.
Yamadanishiki, 50%, 18%, M310 yeast, Sake degree +4.
Here's another one you've been waiting for, this time of year✨.
You can taste a lot of mellow, soft, rich flavor with a hint of sweetness. But dry is dry, so it has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink, which is hard to believe at 18 degrees 😋.
National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_83
Wakayama Prefecture booth ①.
The Wakayama booth was the last one we ran into.
Takagaki Sake Brewery from Aritagawa-cho, Aritagawa-gun, famous for its mandarin oranges. The brewery's brewing water is locally produced Kukaisui, a sacred water for longevity and immortality.
◉Daiginjo Ryujinmaru, bottled and unconditioned sake.
I've had Kirakusato before, but this is the first time I've had Ryujinmaru because it's so hard to find. I had heard that it was more subdued than its image, but it is totally delicious. It has a strong flavor. It has a slightly chocolaty and rich flavor. It's really tasty.
The brand became famous nationwide when it appeared in the manga "Moyashimon," and it is now hard to find. The story of how Junichi Takagaki, the 8th generation head of the family, passed away suddenly and his wife took over as the 9th generation brewer is amazing.

There was also a Kirakusato, but I drank the Ryujinmaru.
I haven't had a Daiginjo in 5 years.
Polishing ratio 40% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture 18 degrees Sake degree +4.0 Acidity 1.1
Amino acidity 1.1 3,100 yen
Almost the same impression as when we drank it before, still chocolate and bitter. A little complexity too.
Some people describe this liquor as sweet and fruity, but I honestly don't understand it myself...
This is delicious...!
Although it is raw, I think I can smell a fresh apple-like fruity flavor from the caramel-like aged sweetness.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness with a sense of maturity and a good graininess, but there is definitely a fruity and good acidity in the back, which seems to support the umami from the bottom. It has a ✨
This is a really rich, beautifully put together and satisfying sake 😆!
I'm looking forward to drinking it slowly while also enjoying the changes in flavor 😳!
