Shigemasu, first time drinking sake.
Higu-san, a souvenir from his business trip to Kyushu: ☺️
I'm so happy to have this nigori sake!
It has a fruity aroma,
It has a fruity aroma, but the flavor is quite robust.
The refreshing lactic acidity harmonizes with the fruity aroma!
I'll be waiting for your souvenirs again 🤭.
I just had a bottle of Shigemasu the other day in Fukuoka, but I happened to have bought it before I went to Fukuoka and had it in the fridge!
I bought it because I was curious about the label, which is traditional but with a bit of a modern look.

The nigori color is like unrealistic summer snow, I think. I think so 🤣.
Fresh on the palate!
Not sour acidity, gentle
Soft sweetness, summery 🏖️
If you go for it, it's a bit dangerous 🥳 because it's 17% alcohol.
I had a physical yesterday, no major findings as of yesterday (uric acid, neutral fat and cholesterol are always a bit high), but what are the results? 😂.
Good evening, Takashi!
Thanks for the physical exam🍀.
I hope there are no major changes 😁.
I've been reading a lot of great reviews about Fukuoka's sake lately, and there are so many I want to drink 😊.
Shigemasu looks delicious too!
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😊.
I'm getting old enough to worry about the results of my physical exam 😅I drink almost every day 🤣.
I haven't had that much Fukuoka sake yet, but Shigemasu, Tanaka 65, and Wakanami are all delicious 😋.
Good evening, Takashi 😃.
It's like a fashionable Shigemasu! 17 degrees easy to drink is dangerous ⚠️ 😅
Human health checkup! I haven't made an appointment yet and it's a hassle 😓I'd love to do it as soon as possible but it's a hassle!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
It's kind of old-fashioned, but I was curious to see how it looks a bit stylish 😘.
You should go for a physical, it's not a fun event but for a fun routine😅.
Kyushu, I received this from a vendor on a business trip. The vendor's relative grows sake rice.
We are very grateful.
I was also full of Champon that I received in Nagasaki.
This was the first time I tried this muddy junmai daiginjo sake. I couldn't tell if it had the flavor of a daiginjo or not...the muddy sake flavor overpowered it, but it wasn't bad.
It has a moderate ginjo aroma and a dry, crisp taste, making it perfect for a mealtime drink. It is a type of sake that you will never get tired of drinking, and is one that you should always have on hand.
Slightly sweet aroma of fresh rice.
When you drink it, you will be surprised by its strong umami.
The taste is tight.
It has a dry sharpness that is typical of Shigemasu.
3/5 for my favorite.

Yesterday, my eldest son's wedding ceremony went off without a hitch, and afterwards, we had dinner with both families in Hakata!
They had prepared some kind of Tsurukame (crane and turtle) tableware to congratulate us.
The restaurant looked nice, though they took it over there.
Shigemasu Daiginjo
First time drinking it!
Clear and soft
A little sweet.
Beautiful and tasty
It was given to me by a relative in Fukuoka. It is refreshingly sweet and tastes like it has the aroma of rice 😊with a Hasami-ware sake cup I bought at a local brewery opening 🍶.

Junmai Daiginjo Natsu ni Yumeuru Yuki (Snow in Summer)
It's been a while since I've had a bottle of Shigemasu. I bought it because of the classical label and the cost-effective price of about 1,500 yen for a junmai daiginjo.
I will drink it cold.
The color is a cloudy misty yellow-white.
The nose is slightly peachy and grain-like.
The mouthfeel is light and limey and minerally, and this, combined with the smooth milkyness of the lees, fades away faintly.
On the palate, the lees are not very assertive, with a light flavor and a slight bitterness that disappears quickly.
A slight aroma of rice that passes through the nose.
The aftertaste is refreshing, with the slight bitterness mellowed by the lees and disappearing quickly.
It is not bitter despite being nigori, but rather mineral and refreshing, which is very interesting.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio:50%.
Alcohol Content:17%.
Nemuchi-san, good evening 🌙
I was curious about this one because of the beautiful name: ☺️ nigori is nigori, but unlike winter nigori, it's more like summer sake 🧐It looks delicious and I'd like to try it if I can find it 😋🎶.
Hi Nemuchi 😃
I thought it was "snow in summer" but it's "dreaming" 😳Summer snow melts like a dream as soon as it's falling 😌🥹.
It's gone quickly and refreshingly clear! That's exactly how I feel about ‼️ 😙.
Hello Kotaro 😊I bought it because of the label and the price for summer nigori 😁I think it is light and refreshing like summer even though it is nigori 😋I hope you will try it if you come across it because it is very cost effective 😆I corrected the name 💦.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊I didn't look at the name carefully because I bought the jackets & cosmetics 🤣I corrected the name wrong 🤫I'm glad I bought it because it had an interesting flavor, I didn't know there was such a niggle 😋.
This is my first post since moving my base to Fukuoka. Chose this sake to accompany horse meat at home drinking. A sake brewery in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Alcohol content: 16%.
A refreshing sake with a soft taste.
It has few peculiarities, making it the perfect honjozo for a mid-meal drink.
