I got this sake on a trip to Kagawa last month.
It was quite a distance from the main street of Kompira-san to the brewery 🚶.
Unfortunately, it was shuttered, so I bought it at a store in Takamatsu City.
Polishing ratio 71
Alcohol content is between 15 and 16 degrees Celsius.
Seo rice produced in Tottori Prefecture is used.
The owner of the brewery told us that he had never heard of Seo rice, but it seems to be the name of the producer and for some reason he is unable to disclose the name of the variety 🤔.
I was also worried about Akaban Omachi and Oseto, and although they are fire-brewed, I took this one home 👍.
First, I drank it cold.
The aroma has a graininess typical of junmai sake, and the rice flavor is rich and mellow. The strong acidity tightens it up and the spiciness gives it a sharp kick.
This is the royal road to junmai sake ✨.
When heated, it has a tingling sensation with an astringent taste that is also delicious. Of course, the sharpness is good too 😊.
The first snow ❄ was observed in Hiroshima and it was cold, so we ordered okonomiyaki to go.
The sweetness of the sauce was more harmonious and delicious.
I also paired it with soy beans, a local dish from Sanuki, and the sweetness of the soy beans was well wrapped up in the kaijin, making it a perfect dish 😋.
Good evening, soumacho.
My friend in Kagawa said that Etsukaijin is delicious. I would love to drink this sake. Okonomiyaki and sake go well together 🎵.
Hi Shimaho_Ke 😃
Kaijin-san, it's more of a stallion than an acidic main body, which makes it addictive.
If you like dry junmai sake, you should definitely try it 😋.
Okonomiyaki really makes sake go down a treat 😊.
Good morning, soumacho!
I see you have brought home many different kinds of sake 🎵.
I drank Etsukaijin for the first time the other day and it was heated up and I remember it was delicious and tasty 😋.
I remember it was delicious and tasty It's getting colder all the time, so you need to keep warm with food and sake 😁.
I thought about saving it until New Year's, but decided against it.
Jacket price... 8/10
Red label + clear bottle is rare.
Hue ... 13/20
The hue is almost colorless. The smell is only a hint of rice aroma, and the mouthfeel is pleasant, but it lacks richness.
Sei... 11/20
The taste converges at the tip of the tongue, and it is regrettable that the Alc attack + acidity + umami only approach the tip of the tongue.
Rolling... 11/20
Only acidity remains on the tip of the tongue, and it burns. bitterness appears on both ends of the tongue, but it lacks weight. the sublimated smell of rice comes in a whiff, but it is not Omachi.
Yui ... 10/20
The expected heaviness is not realized.
COSPA... 3/10
The price is too heavy for the taste....
I didn't feel any Omachi in the end...my fault for not letting it sit...⁇
I didn't feel any Omachi in the end... I guess it's my fault for not letting it sit...
56 points
I licked the vinegar and drank it, but it was different......the best flavor comes out when the tongue is in a neutral state.
I guess you can warm it up, but the umami is dead......room temperature is the best.
Slightly overpriced for this restaurant.
Warmed.
The alcohol and aroma rise gently.
It has a slight citrus flavor with a hint of rice flavor.
Surprisingly acidic. Light texture.
No showiness, but a simple taste.
It is a cozy type of food sake.
Taste 4/5
This is delicious. It seemed to be one of the less habitual flavors in the triumphant line.
Here is the explanation
This is a hi-iru version of "Koh," one of the most popular brands in Etsukaijin's lineup. It has a mild aroma, a full flavor, and is very drinkable. Please enjoy this bottle of the brewery's confidence, named after one of the characters in the name of Tadaoki Maruo, the head brewer of Maruo Honten.

Impression] Classical, mellow, umami taste.
This is a unique sake with a thick and particular character. Although it is a draft sake, it has an unshakable potential that can be kept in the refrigerator. The aroma is heavy with umami, but you can feel it well. The taste is full-bodied and full of umami. It has a chocolate-like nuance and makes the most of the strength of Akaban Omachi. A classic but high-spec sake that can evolve with warming.
Pairing
Strong flavored sake!
Repeat Score】 2.0
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!
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👍.
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.
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 😋.
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 🤗.
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!
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 🤗.
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 ✨.
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!
Pink Label
Light and refreshing, more than "kinky".
You may taste more flavor when it is near room temperature.
