I found a Kumamoto sake on sale at a local supermarket. I am going to open it today.
I can't read this with just the kanji. Su-kun.
Well, when you put it in your mouth, it is full of sweet aromatic ginjo aroma. Sashimi, isn't it?
But tonight, it's keema curry.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)
Rice used: Gin-no-sato
Alcohol content 16%.
Rice polishing ratio 58
Sake degree -5
The last one is the unfiltered draft version (far right) of "Sung Kaoru"!
It has a light, yet subtle grape-like aroma.
The mouthfeel is as crisp as the previous one, but with the freshness and rounded sweetness of the unfiltered draft!
The sake itself is smooth and silky, but since the alcohol content is 19°C, it is more umami-gaiety and heavy than the previous one 🧐.
In the latter half, a bit of astringency comes out, and it finishes with a sweet, spicy, astringent taste with a bit of white wine-like flavor.
Finally, we tasted the shochu recommended by the lady. It was fun to be reminded of the high level of shochu and sake in Kumamoto & I'm glad I came ✨.
Next is the middle "Sung Kaoru" standard type.
It is THE dry sake with a crisp and dry mouthfeel!
It is less distinctive than the previous "Chiyono-en," but on the contrary, I think it has good potential as a food sake!
It has a smooth and clean aftertaste even though the alcohol content is 16°C, and you can't help but drink more ✨.
The second Kumamoto expedition. I have had Zuitaka in the past, and I personally have a vague recollection of the taste, which I have not had much experience with. It is fresher than the previous brand due to the fact that it is a draft. It is a little bitter as I expected. It is perfect for spicy lotus root as a souvenir.
Purchased at the Kumamoto Prefecture antenna store in Yurakucho.
The store was also promoting Kuma shochu, but I chose this one from a small selection of Japanese sake.
It is a bit thick.
It has a fluffy aroma, but the sweetness spreads.
It has a bitter and sour taste, but it is very refreshing.
I got screwed up at the Fukuoka offline meeting😅
I don't have my wallet for the bill of the party😭
I had to ask Uma Uma Uma Uma to pay for it...
I had to ask Mr.Uma Uma Uma to replace it 😅...
When I came back to the hotel, my wallet was on the floor by the wall 😭.
I found it on the floor by the wall 😭.
Because of Umaumai Umaumai's replacement
I'm sure you couldn't go where you wanted to go because of Mr. Uma Uma Uma's replacement ❓
Maybe you couldn't buy what you wanted to buy.
Maybe you couldn't buy what you wanted to buy
I'm sorry for the inconvenience
I apologize for any inconvenience 🥺🥺🥺❓
Umaumaumauma-san, I'm so sorry.
Sorry 🙏🙇🏻🙇🏻
On the train back from Saga the next day
I got a group LINE from Umaumai-san
I got a line from Umaemai-san!
He said he was drinking at a corner bar of Sumiyoshi Sake Brewery...
I rushed over to him after arriving in Hakata and
I gave him back the money for the drink.
After that we had a few drinks together 😋.
We drank
Chokoru Junmai Ginjo
Garden no Uguisu Special Junmai
and two bottles of
This is the last sake drinking in Fukuoka!
Mr. Umaumaiyamai!
I'm really sorry 🙇🏻
Good morning, Rafa!
I'm glad you didn't drop your wallet somewhere else! I know it must have been hard when you were looking for it 💦 But you had a lot to drink! A very productive trip to Fukuoka ✨.
Rafa, glad you didn't lose your wallet☺️Next time you'll be asked if you have your wallet at every offline meeting 🤣👍
I'm jealous of your corner shop ☺️.
Hi Rafa papa😄
Your life span must have been shortened a lot 😅💦.
But I'm glad you didn't lose your wallet☺️.
I think it was an unforgettable offline meeting in many ways ❓ lol
Hi Rafa papa😃
I'm sure you must have been really surprised to find it missing 🥹I'm sure you'll never forget the taste of the chongkol that you drank with Mr. Uma Uma Uma ☺️.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Wine King 😃.
I was so relieved when I found my wallet in the hotel 😮💨 it had my credit cards and bullet train tickets in it, so my head was spinning wondering what to do the next day😱I know it was annoying for Mr. Umaumai... 🙏
Good evening, Ponchan 😃
I got in trouble again 😓I'm a good old man and pathetic... 😭I had a lot of drinks and had fun but I feel a little bad aftertaste 😅I'll be careful in the future
Good evening Mr. Manachie 😃
They might not let you in if you don't check your wallet... 😱It was my first experience in a corner shop and it was fun 😁Sumiyoshi was the style where you were given 10 hanafuda🎴 at the beginning and only the amount you drank was deducted 😊.
Good evening T.KISO 😃.
I had to think about calling my bank and credit card company the next day, and I had a little more cash in my pocket... 😓I guess I won't forget it, but I would have preferred only good memories 😅.
Good evening Mr. Luteltemi 😃.
I usually go cashless and leave my wallet in my bag😅why did it fall out of my bag⁉️Good thing I was in a hotel room... 😊Mr. Yum Yum and the drinks I had were good though 🤣
Good morning Rafa 🎵Thank you too for your help with the whole thing😊You just forgot your wallet! We had a great time, so let's call it good ✨We look forward to working with you again❣️
At home. Kumamoto sake, Sung Kaoru, purchased on an expedition to Fukuoka. The Sansho I was looking for was sold out, and I managed to find this Kumamoto sake. It has a smooth, refreshing taste with a slight bitterness at the end. It was a dangerous one that was easy to drink.
After a long time, I took a walk around Motomachi area in Kobe by bicycle, bought some gyoza (Chinese dumplings), and went home. Since it was Saturday afternoon, Sannomiya and Motomachi were quite crowded, and the city seemed to have regained its vitality.
★★★★★
I thought it was pretty good after a while, so I gave it 5 stars.
While I don't know much about Kumamoto sake, perchance!
I thought I bought it last year, but I guess my evaluation changed because it was unfiltered?
