This is the second bottle of Chiyomitsu I received from Imadeya's hanpukai.
It is still sweet lol.
The sake I got just before was a kijoshu, but I think it is just as sweet or even sweeter than a junmai sake lol.
It is an amazing sake.
I wonder how they make it.
It's hard to find it in Kansai, but if I see it, I want to buy it!
Thanks for the treat!
Surprisingly easy to drink. It rides on the tongue without any sticking. But when it goes down your throat, you can feel the alcohol. You want to enjoy it in your mouth. It tastes better when it hits the chin than on the tongue(?).
I'm not sure about the sour cream taste, but it's definitely refreshing.

Chiyonomitsu test brew Junmai-shu SWEETEST
The first thing that surprised me when I saw the label was the sake's alcohol content.
It has 8% alcohol by volume and -70% alcohol by volume.
I was expecting how easy to drink it is 🤔.
Sweet and sour and fresh aroma.
Yes, it is sweet. A nice sweetness though. Light and gentle sweetness will make you drink one cup after another🥰.
Challenge sake by Chiyonomikari x imadeya 🍶(*^^*) Since it is a sweet sake, I thought it would not go well with the sashimi we usually eat, so I prepared some fruit (peaches) and cheese! The best sake I've ever had! I wish they would sell it in convenience stores as a gateway to Japanese sake.
35% polished rice, using Koshi-tanrei
Sake rice characterized by its light and full flavor.
While it has a Daiginjo-style fruity flavor, the sweetness and acidity are moderate. The aftertaste is sharp. Sake that does not interfere with meals. Good
At my usual restaurant.
The menu says "sweet and tasty, low alcohol, and easy to drink", so I ordered it. ❤️
First, a sip.
There is not much aroma, but it is definitely sweet in the mouth!
I've never had much of it before, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's amazake without the nigori feeling.
More like sugar water😅?
The waitress poured it for me 💦.
It was not only swishy, but also sipping.
It has an alcohol content of 8% and a Sake -70, but the acidity is not high at all at 1.7.
When I drink it, I don't find it as sweet as the numbers, but the alcohol content makes it seem a bit thin, which is disappointing.
