Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting (5)
The image of the sake is enhanced when not only Omachi but also Akaban is indicated. This brand-name sake rice is as good as Yamada-Nishiki.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama Unsweetened Sake Akaban Omachi
The image of the sake is as it should be, with a full-bodied flavor and fresh sweetness. It is not heavy and rich, but clear.
I thought you could tell the Omachi even when it was blind 💦.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting ④.
We drank it while saying it was the sake that started the spell of BOUKEN-san and Ane-san.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama-Nagara Aizan.
It was mildly sweet without the bitterness that comes after Aizan that I had expected.
It was mildly sweet and mild without the bitterness that I had expected after Aizan.
Good evening...
Was that such an impressive statement 😅?
Don't tell me that I was a little surprised when I drank the original Aizan because my image of Aizan was Kaiun 🤫.
Good evening Ane 🌛The Aiyama spell of luck was quite impressive as I was quite excited and commented on it immediately 🤣This drink reminds me of Ane (icon) 😁It was actually a surprise spell 😳.

A blind tasting of five different Kaiun sake rice varieties was being held, and although I couldn't understand it, I participated.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama-no-Ho Yamadaho.
A bit nutty and dry bitter.
The taste is exactly as I imagined while looking at the label, but I couldn't tell at all if I was blind tasting...
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting Event (6)
The last of Kaiun is Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.8, Amino acidity 1.2
Alcohol 17.7%.
The sweetest of the five, and I thought it was my favorite.
All were delicious though 😋.
I've had this one in the past, and I've written about the gasiness and minerality, but this time I couldn't tell 💦.
I had a blind sake tasting after this, but I got all the questions wrong😅.
Yes, I have a stupid tongue 🙄.
I'll let you know the result of Nemuchi and Ao-chan in their respective posts 😌.
The taste of Kaiun? I thought the difference in subtle nuance was due to the difference in sake rice 🤔.
I'm not sure if it's hard to notice the difference between the two, since they have similar acidity levels when looking at the specs...
That's all my excuse 😅.
Good evening, bouken🦉.
I wanted to try this sake tasting but it seems quite difficult 💦I probably can't do it either 😂.
I only drank Yamadanishiki, but this one is the sweetest 😊.
Hello, Pon-chan.
I think it's very hard because there were only a few people who got 3 correct answers and 0 correct answers for all the questions 😅.
I felt Yamadanishiki was the sweetest, but I'm not sure anymore 🤣.

Honorifuji, Shizuoka's preferred rice for sake brewing
Polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.6, Amino acidity 1.4
Alcohol 17.2%.
It only says "Honorifuji" on the label, but it seems they are currently using the successor variety, 2021 Honorifuji.
A little sharp and sharp impression.
Seemed spicier than the others.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting ④.
Kaikai no Aiyama, the place where Ane-san was inspired to cast a spell.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +4, Acidity 1.5, Amino acidity 1.1
Alcohol 17%.
Slightly lighter and more refreshing than the others.
It did not feel more Aizan-like than when we drank it in the past.
Maybe it was the order in which I drank it, or maybe I was pulled in by the other liquors?
Hello 🎶
You remember well 🎶.
I remember that the unfiltered Kaiun Aizan is clean and sweet with little bitterness. I will have to drink it again to confirm 😊.
I am jealous of your drinking comparison 🎶.
It is Akaban Omachi🍶 of Kaiun.
The master's restaurant often has Kaiun on the menu, so I drink it from time to time.
The aroma on the nose is fresh and sweet with a richness that is typical of Omachi.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slightly carbonated taste.
It has a clear sweetness and a clear, Omachi-like flavor.
It is a very beautiful sake, but the goodness of Omachi comes out and it is quite delicious 🍶✨️

Next, Akaban Omachi
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +-0, Acidity 1.8, Amino acidity 1.2
Alcohol 17.5%.
It has a sweet and delicious taste from the beginning.
The second half is a little like Yamadaho.
There is no way to tell this in a blind taste test.
Unexpectedly, the overall impression is dry, with green apple-like acidity and a reserved melon sweetness. The oriki was a little light and slightly cloudy. I enjoyed it with tuna kama. I enjoyed it with tuna kama 😋.
Last year, it was creamy with a lot of sweet and sour nigori, but this year, I think it will be shifted to a refreshing type. 🤔
I'll be at Funabashi Yajima Sake Brewery. 🐈️
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting (2)
There was a blind tasting of five different rice varieties of Kaiun, so I drank some Kaiun to prepare for the event.
First, let's start with Yamadaho.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.4, Amino acidity 0.9
Alcohol 17.2
Bitter with a bit of nuttiness.
A bit of a western taste towards the end...
I realized that this is impossible to guess 🤣.
The bottle was opened with the nagging desire for good things to happen. This is an unfiltered sake.
The aroma is mild and melon-like. The mild sweetness adds depth to the acidity, and the rich umami overlaps to create a robust flavor. The aftertaste is slight.
The entrées are herring sashimi, octopus sashimi, and fried burdock root, all of which are delicious. All are delicious.
A good thing happened.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sharpness of the wine.
After that, a full aroma rises, and the aftertaste is smooth and clean.
You can tell that this sake was made with good water.
