The aroma is slightly sweet. The mouthfeel is smooth without any peculiarities. The gentle sweetness of rice spreads on the palate, and finally, a strong yet refreshing spiciness, similar to that of Ichimi, pierces the palate. The aftertaste is refreshing. It seems simple, yet it is layered with many different flavors. The label design is also good!
Next time, it's also Mr. Bikou ✨.
This is another sake that was entered into the New Sake Competition✨
We are very happy to have another rare sake 😁.
This sake has a clean dry taste and a fruity aroma....
It's so easy to drink 😄.
This sake also has no hooks 😁.
It's delicious 😊.
Good morning, Kano 😃.
Mihoou-san! I only had one bottle of Simple Blue Label at home 😅 and it was so good and so memorable 😚 I like that it doesn't have a snag 😍.
Next up, Mr. Bikou ✨.
I was prepared to drink it because it's super dry, but it's not that dry... it's clean, crisp, fruity, delicious and easy to drink 😊.
This...might be good warmed up too 😁.
Aroma modest but gorgeous.
Soft on the palate, but with fresh acidity and a hint of sweetness. Overall, the pungency is moderate, and the aftertaste is clean and unaffected.
The more you drink, the more light and refreshing it becomes.
Alcohol 15%.
Sake meter degree +5
Acidity 1.6
Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I went to Kochi for the first time on a business trip. Since I was going to the trouble, I wanted to drink local sake, so I went to a supermarket near my hotel. It was not a sake shop, so I found a lineup of famous brands from all over the country.
I was surprised to see that Hamakawa Shoten also makes liqueurs and fruit wine in addition to sake, but I decided to buy a bottle of nama-zake (raw sake)! I bought it 🍶 and when I got home and looked at it closely, I realized it was sparkling.
The specs were Junmai Daiginjo, but the aroma was subdued, with a hint of koji. It is sweet, gaseous, and easy to drink. The umami is moderate, which is good for those who do not like sake. The bitter aftertaste is also a characteristic of sparkling sake.
As described, it has a grapefruit-like acidity and bitterness.
The aroma is also citrusy, reminiscent of grapefruit.
The sweetness was not quite as sweet as one might expect.
The low alcohol content makes it a very light drink.
4/5
TOMO welcome party 2025㉒
Rafa-san said there was a sake store under the Hankyu elevated railway, so we went to Kappa Yokocho.
We went to Tosa Cuisine restaurant.
The name of the restaurant is SUIGEI, which would make Rui Yoshida happy 😁.
I don't have a picture of it, but I had a bonito tataki with salt and a moray eel sashimi!
At first, we ordered a four-pack of Miyuyu Tama Label because we were told that the bottle was more economical!
I've had Tama Label in the past, but my impression was the same except for the gasiness and freshness.
I have the impression of a gentle dry taste with sweetness 🤔.
Purchased at the sake section of Shinjuku Biclo. I was curious about this Kochi sake because I had heard that it was similar to Bunkajin. I bought it in the hope that it would be a refreshing summer sake.
I thought it might be quite spicy. But it had a good balance of spiciness and acidity, and I could also taste the umami of the rice. It has a sharpness, and the alcohol lingers for a long time, but it also has a cool feeling.
It is an interesting sake with a busy and ever-changing flavor profile.
I would like to try other sake breweries.
The bottle was a bit big ass, so I had to force it into the pocket of the refrigerator door.
(The photo shows an empty bottle.)
