Now for the heated sake! So our second glass of heated sake at Miho was from our first brewery, Maruo Honten's Etsukaijin! This time it was Akaban Omachi! Let's start with the aroma! First, the aroma. It has a nice aroma of rice! When you put it in your mouth, the aroma of rice is good from the gentle umami flavor. The lingering bitterness is also nice. The acidity also makes it an easy to drink, refreshing heated sake.

Good evening, ma-ki-san: ☺️ Etsukaijin is very tasty when heated 😋. Etsukaijin is very special to drink in this cold season 🤤✨.

Good evening, ma-ki! I'm sure you drank a lot 😘I'm sure you can take it easy on your vacation 🥳My wife's family lives in Kagawa, so we drink Kaijin over there, but I don't see it much in the Kanto area. I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it in the Kanto area, but I'm sure I'll be able to find it in the Kanto area.

ma-ki-, here it is again 😄! My first Kaijin was a Junmai from Akaban Omachi too 🍶. It was cold, but I felt differently about it 😅. I went back to Kagawa the other day and got a bottle of Kaijin for drinking at home👍.

勉強中

Good evening, ma-ki-, ☺️ Etsukaijin is one of the brands I'm interested in, and the review sounds delicious 😁I can't warm up at home, so I'd like to try it now with a drink outside.

Japanese>English

Thank you very much, Afuio! I see that you and Etsukaijin were matched with Oden 🎵. Oden and heated Etsukaijin seems to go very well together 🤤. It's the time of year when heated sake becomes more and more delicious 😋.

Japanese>English

Thank you, Takashi! Yes, it was my first day and I was too easygoing and drank too much for me 😋. It was my first encounter with Kaijin, too, and I got the impression that it goes very well with warmed sake 🤗.

Japanese>English

Thank you, soumacho! I've seen your review again 🎵. It's a very robust sake when cold 😲. I'm sure it's a very thick sake when cold 😲, but when heated, it's a little less angular and refreshing 😋. I'm looking forward to seeing your post about the new Gaijin you got!

Japanese>English

Thank you, Mr. Studying! I was also curious about this sake when I saw it at Sake-no-Wa, so I'm glad I had a chance to try it 😋. I tend to drink sake cold at home, so it's nice to have sake that goes well with heated sake when I go out for a drink 🤗.

ジャイヴ

ma-ki-, also here 🌛. ［I'm so jealous of this place! I've been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time but never had the chance, so I'm very envious 🤣. ［I've often read about it in Mr. Kazuhiko Ota's books, and I'm looking forward to trying it next year ✨.

Japanese>English

Thank you for your time here too, Gyve! I've been a frequent customer of Miho's for a long time, and I enjoy the variety of sake that I don't normally drink 😋. Oh, I see you've written a book about it 😲. I'd love to try it ❗

Since I'm in Kagawa, I'm going to have some local sake. I made a note in my past memorandum that the sake was pretty good, so I went with this one. As a result, it was very tasty!

It was served warm. Light amber color. Quite spicy. It seems to go well with soy sauce based hot pots. It's a very hot sake.

Finish up with a hard-to-drink swallow stone 😚. First, check the aroma, it's gorgeous, as if concentrated and full of flavor: ✨️ When you drink it, the concentrated flavor of the rice fills your mouth. ‼️ The rice is highly polished to a 35% ratio, yet it has the strength and power of a Kaijin sake. It is not only light and refreshing, but also has a sharp and firm acidity that tightens the umami, creating a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, all of which can be clearly felt. I want to drink it slowly during the New Year's holiday!

家飲み部

Etsukaijin Tono Kame-no-o Yamahai Unfiltered Nama When I poured it into a glass, thinking that it would have a classic heavy-boned and massive taste because it is an old sake, the unique, massive and complex aroma of old sake spread quickly throughout my nose 😳. The taste is as I imagined it would be, a strong rice flavor... It has a complex flavor like smoked fish, like natto, but it has a nice sharpness, and once you get used to it, you won't even notice the strong habit... or maybe you won't 🙄 .... I heard it is recommended to be heated, so I will use Tanukichi to heat it up after a long time ⓿ᴥ⓿. The aroma changed to a mellow flavor and turned into a sake that makes me want to eat oden😳 The sip of this sake has a tongue-tightening acidity, and the alcohol comes with a kick and a thud, just like a heavy-boned, heavy-duty sake should 😋. The spiky corners have been removed so that it can be drunk roundly and softly. ☺️ It matched with Oden best 🍢. Also changed the display in the back 😌.

Hi, Afuio 😃. As the mornings and evenings get colder, heated sake 🍶 is better 😊Etsukaijin! We only drink outside 🥲 but it would go perfectly with oden🍢: ‼️

Japanese>English

Hi Jay & Nobby, ☺️ I'm sure the cold weather makes you long for heated sake 🥰. I've tried Etsukaijin, which is rarely available, cold and hot, and the hot sake was wonderful 😋. It was also great with oden.
