It's that time of year again!
SAKE COMPETITION 2025
The manager of my home liquor store recommended it to me
I bought the Gold 1st prize in the Junmai Ginjo category 😉.
50% polished Yamadanishiki, 15% alcohol by volume.
The sound of the bottle opening is "f" and "ponk ♫".
The bottle has a gorgeous aroma of melon and pineapple right out of the bottle.
Even though it's not unpasteurized sake...
Microbubbles at the bottom of the glass.
When you drink it, you'll see that it is truly sweet and delicious ❗️
The freshness of the chili flavor and the good acidity make it delicious!
After the lactic acidity, you can also feel the lactic acidity.
Almost no bitterness in the last taste.
But it's not flashy and elegant like Tobiroki.
It was a delicious sake with a smooth and sweet taste that is typical of Yamadanishiki 😃.
At first impression, it seemed light and refreshing, but after tasting it carefully, it is a rich and mellow sake.
When served with hand-rolled sushi, its umami and sweetness stand out.
The second bottle was HARU.
This is a brand I learned about through a follow-up with Sake-no-Wawa.
I was excited because this is the first time for me to drink KANKENBAI myself 😄.
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15
When the bottle was opened, there was a nice bong sound.
The sweetness is not as strong as the first bottle, but the sweetness is enhanced by the gasiness and the taste is more balanced 😊.
The entrée is a combination of Ondo shirasu and tofu.
This combination is also delicious 😋.
This is my first time to try Penguin🐧 in the summer. Since it is a summer sake, I will drink it expecting to see what it tastes like!
I think it tastes solid. It doesn't have much of a ginjo aroma, but it is firm yet sharp!
The price is reasonable, so I think it is recommended for the coming season. ‼️
JAL Diamond Lounge Series: ‼️
Haneda Airport (May/June)
I drank it last month and this month. Last month I felt strong acidity, but not particularly before this.
Later it tasted robust.
May was subtle but June was delicious.
I wonder if it's the timing or something 🤔.
The jacket is very cute, just like a summer sake 😊.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Good evening, Mr. Muro 🥇.
Oh, you got this 🥇😄.
You're a real pro 👍.
I also stopped by the sake brewery exhibition on my way home from work today, and the brewery owner happened to be talking about it, so I couldn't help but buy some 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Muro 🌛I was curious to know that it won first place in the Junmai Ginjo category in the sake competition ✨I like it 🤤I hope it tastes good 🤤.
Good morning, Muro-san: ☀️
I love how this all started with a sudden ping pong 😆✨I would love to be his drink companion 😙I would go ping pong if I was closer 🤣!
Gorgeous fruity💕delicious 😘.
Good morning, Ace. ♪
Yes, I am a member of the team! I brought it in because my junior wanted to drink it😅
I think it was the right decision to buy it without a second thought 💖.
It's cosy and tasty...
I'm convinced that it's the best 🥇✨ 🤤.
Good morning, Tsubu...
If I open the front door and Mr. T&D is there...
I'd be so surprised I'd close the front door 😅
I would love to compare drinks with you 💖.
Maybe on my next trip to Aizu 😆👍
KANKOUBEI Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki 3080 yen
Today's side dishes are Basil tomato flavored mille-feuille hot pot
and Tororo soup, and simmered fish with sake lees!
Tonight we opened a bottle of this sake: ‼️ The aroma is a nice ginjo aroma💜The first attack is a gentle but firm sweetness of wasanbon sugar, followed by a sharp dryness and a sharp finish. ♥️
If it's this good at this price, I'm very satisfied 💮.
It's my favorite kind of taste. ‼️
One month and the brand still hadn't changed!
It is a slightly sweet and sour liquor 🍶.

The third drink at our favorite Yakitori restaurant was Kankoubai by Kankoubai Shuzo!
Yamada Nishiki this time.
Kankoumei always seems to be consistently delicious!
Let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the umami and spiciness, and it has a big impact.
The aftertaste is refreshing with a touch of spiciness.
Again, it is delicious!
The mouthfeel is very beautiful and the aroma in the mouth is irresistible!
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
I mistook it for "Miyakanbai" when I first saw it, but it was "Kankenbai", which is a sake from Mie, by the way 🥰.
The impact of the dry taste seems to go well with yakitori 😋.
Thank you for your comment, Jive!
I would love to drink Miyaganbai 😁✨
Yes, it's a standard Mie sake at this restaurant 🤗.
This time, the Kan-san was different and spicy and went perfectly with the yakitori 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃.
I'm so happy to see you here...
KANKENBAI! I met Mr. Ars at the liquor store over the weekend and he told me that the Penguin🐧 label summer sake is delicious 😋, so I'm hoping to get some 🤗.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments!
Yes ❗ Everything is great at our favorite restaurant 😁✨✨.
Penguin - I was wondering about the delicious summer sake 🤤.
I'll try to find a liquor store this weekend too 🤗
