Icoma Sake Shop Tasting: Drunken Heart (2)
Honorary Yizuisuishin - No.3 Unrefined Nama-shu
This sake is a reprinted version of the original No.3 yeast, which is no longer used. This time, we aimed for this one. The taste was like when we drank the No. 1 yeast, with an unrefined, wild acidity. This one was a 2024 brew but they also brought a 3 year aged version.
◉Beech no Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo
This one is made from a rare variety of rice called Daijirubi Dia, which is apparently no longer being produced, and was served at the G7. It is a delicious sake with freshness and richness.
◉Honorary Drunken Heart Junmai Daiginjo
A sake with a good balance of sweetness and umami.
◉ Ultimate Drunkenness Daiginjo
This class of sake is unquestionably beautiful and delicious.
Honorary Drunken Heart Junmai Daiginjo
Inside the paulownia wood box is a label by Yokoyama Taikan. It is said that the sake was a staple of the family. The rice polishing ratio is 30%, which is beautiful, but the flavor is well developed.
◉Honorary Yizuisuishin Daiginjofuji Kangan Fuji
This is a very high quality sake that has won a gold medal. It is a very high quality sake that has won a gold medal.
It has been a long time since I had a chance to visit with Mr. Bouken. I was able to recharge my sake activity at the end of the year event. Thank you very much 🙇.
Thank you for inviting me to join you the other day 🤗
It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of working with you too 😊.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Icoma Sake Shop Tasting: Drunken Heart (1)
A sales person from Drunken Heart came to the store, but we waited for the other customers who were tasting Drunken Heart to leave and moved inside the store.
The sales staff attended to the order of drinking.
Junmai Ginjo Mukoshi Shibori (Winter)
The taste is fresh and fruity with a soft mouthfeel. Mutenka Shibori is a seasonal product, available in each of the four seasons.
◉Filtered Junmai Nama Nama Shuzake Shinshu Hatsukori
Fresh, rich, fruity and full-bodied.
◉Soft-water brewed Shiboritate Junmai Ginjyo Nama
Another soft, smooth and tasty sake, but it was not very impactful.
◉Unfiltered Junmai-Ginjo Nama-Nishiki 100% Nama-Nishiki
This was said to be a freshly brewed sake from December. It has a refreshing acidity and alcohol.
It lasts for a long time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Spicy
Mellows out a bit after a few days
Try it on the rocks, correct ⭕.

A local supermarket stocked it only during New Year's, or so drunkenly, I bought it.
It has a very mild taste.
I was very satisfied with the crab hot pot.
Yizishin Tasting at Ijima Sake-ten (3)
High quality sake in a wooden box
Honorary Yizishin Junmai Daiginjyo
Yamadanishiki from Sanda city, 30% polished rice
Beautiful and fruity without any cloying taste.
A Yizyshin fan who is often seen at the tasting said that he can't finish the year without drinking this.
The ultimate Yizyshin Daiginjo!
I've had it several times and it's really good.
It is better to drink it at room temperature than cold.
Honorary Yizysuishin Daiginjyo Kangan Fuji
It seems to be the first sake which is not brought to the department store.
It's 11,000 yen for 4 gou of sake.
It's a very good sake.
I'm interested in the difference other than the taste 🤔.
It was nice to meet you again after a long time!
Thank you for inviting me 🙇🙇.
Yizishin Tasting at Ijima Sake-ten (2)
Honorary Yizishishin - Resurrection No.3 Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake
I already bought and drank it.
I think the rice is called "Chusei Shin Senbon".
It has a rich and complex flavor, and it is very tasty.
I think Nemuchi wanted this sake 🫶.
Hygena no Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo
The first impression is that it's refreshing, but in the second half, there's a trace of sweetness and then the umami comes in.
It uses a rare rice called "Daijirubi Dia" and the farmer quit growing it, so it's no longer for sale.
I heard that Gobashi is the only other place that uses Daijirubi Dia.
Honorary Yizuisuishin Junmai Daiginjo
It has a refreshing taste, but it has a hint of sweetness.
It has a sweetness that lasts...
Yizishin Tasting at Ijima Sake-ten (1)
When the salesman arrived, there was a person who was waiting for us, so we moved to the place when it was empty.
Junmai Ginjo Mukoshi Shibori (winter)
The taste is clear and refreshing. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and spiciness, and there is nothing unpleasant about it.
This was also drunk at last year's StumpVal 😅.
Junmai Unrefined Nama-shu (new sake) Hatsuktori
It tastes fresh, mellow, and delicious, just like THE raw sake 😋.
Nemuchi-san raved about it. I bought it myself in the past, and when I looked at his post, he wrote that it was delicious 😁.
Soft water brewed Shiboritate Junmai Ginjyo Nama
This is the first label I've seen. It seemed a little spicier than the first two I drank. Not very impressive...
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu 100% Yamadanishiki
Mature and floral, yet suitable for eating.
I bought and drank this one in the past.
There are many, so I will continue!
