I bought this when I went to Yoshinoyama to see the cherry blossoms.
Sake brewed with Yoshino water, Yoshino brewery, and Yoshino rice.
Although not stated on the label, the sake has a sake strength of -3
But it has a rich umami flavor without being too sweet.
We enjoyed it with chilled tofu, shime saba (mackerel), and simmered fresh eggplant as a mealtime sake.
When drunk on its own, it has a slight Nikki-like aroma, which reminded me of Kyoto's Yatsuhashi.
It reminded me of yatsuhashi in Kyoto.
I wanted to say to myself, "Why not?
The famous sake from Yoshino, Nara, Shojo no Oni👹san series❣️.
The founder of Shugendo, Yakushokaku, was served by a couple of demons: the husband demon was Zendo Oni (the former demon) and the wife was Myodo Oni (the latter demon).
This is the first time I bought a sake named after that Zendo Oni 😆.
I was originally under the impression that Shoto was a fruity, easy-drinking sake, but this Zendo Oni is so rich and full-bodied that it is hard to believe it is a Jungin of Gohyakumangoku 😳.
It has a nice melon feeling and a full-bodied flavor reminiscent of Tamagawa❣️.
By the third day, the ripe fruit-like sweetness is added, and the unique flavor is irresistible 😇
I'm enjoying it chippy, chippy, chippy😇
All that crosses our path are demons 👹.
But if it's demons like this, I want to see them again.
I wonder if his wife will be the next demon (not my wife 😅)
The flavor of the rice is rich and slightly sweet. It also has a fruity flavor. My favorite flavor.
The name "Gokigami" is said to be the name of an ogre that has been handed down from generation to generation.
The other day, the Kitamura Sake Brewery visited the Nara Family. I thought I had declined the tasting because my house was too far away from the brewery, but I ended up getting six kinds of their limited-edition products. Is this what you call a "screwed-up sake drinker"? I only bought one, but I should have asked for all of them.
Yesterday, my brothers and I got together for dinner.
It was our first ✨Kitamura Shuzo.
Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku, Alc 17, fruity but not too sweet, went well with the meal.
It is unfiltered but clear and refreshing!
The taste is so robust that it is hard to believe that it is 5 million stone. I wonder if it is possible to bring out so much flavor from Ihyakumangoku. It becomes gorgeous when drunk with air, but it is different from the gorgeousness of sake from the Tohoku region. You can see how great Nara sake is. Super delicious, highly recommended!
I love Nara's sake❣️.
This is my first time at this brewery and it's still very good👍✨.
The rice (Kinuhikari) has just the right amount of fruity and sweetness, and it's rich yet clear and pleasant... all good👍✨.
Slippery and satisfying to drink🥰.
I bet I'll buy it again 🎵.
Good evening, Mr. Umai Umai❗
I've never seen this brand before 😲I can't read it without the furigana
I can't read it😏.
There really are many kinds✨.
(I've never seen this brand before
🍒
Good morning, Umai Umai ☀️!
Thank you for posting Nara sake 😊.
Oh, isn't that the famous Yoshino sake Scarlet!
The label is classic but the taste is modern.
I hope people from outside the prefecture will try it 😆.
Good morning, Mr. Hito😊.
I'm really glad I drank this sake 🤩I want to drink it again 💕I want to drink other Nara sake too and I want to go drinking in Nara next year🎵.

Today I took part in the Sake Navigator Course! Some of the things I learned in the Sake Certification Level 3 course came directly from the course, so I was able to learn a lot as a review.
I can only vaguely remember what it tasted like because I was concentrating on writing the notes, but the junmai sake was so plump and delicious that it made me think it had been heated👍.
I'm not sure what the other brands are, but I've tasted Ikatani, Yamahai and Junmai Daiginjo unfiltered. Paired with the Sensei's recommended dorayaki and cheese, it was fantastic!
Now I'm a sake navigator. Now it's time to become a sake taster...!
Hi stst, nice to meet you 😊!
Congratulations on becoming a Sake Navigator 🎊You'll be able to enjoy sake even more 🎵Good luck studying to become a sake taster 🙌!
