The flavor of rice is well blended into the clear flavor of Yoshi.
The difference in flavor depending on the temperature range is well expressed and the depth of the flavor can be felt.
It has a beautiful sharpness and is exceptionally delicious among dark mellow dry sake.

Good morning, HIGE 😊.
Etsukaijin is one of the most respected sake (maybe the top...).
And this Honor✨
I bought a bottle myself the other day and I'm stanning it 😆.
I finally got my hands on Etsukaijin, Kagawa Prefecture's most recommended sake,
I finally got my hands on Etsukaijin, Kagawa Prefecture's most recommended sake.
It was dry and crisp, without any unpleasant acidity, and had an ideal balance.
I am now in reach of the national sake competition, but the last sake from Okinawa seems to be in a state of suspension, so I don't know when I will be able to drink it.
The brewery seems to have been merged with another brewery, so I hope they will reopen soon.
Kaijin is a sake that I remember being served by my senpai in Kagawa with the Corona disaster.
This one was recommended to me as the best of today's dry 3. I was impressed by the breadth, depth, and spiciness of the flavor, but it was so delicious that I cannot verbalize it.
I wanted to try Etsukaijin and was not sure of the type, so I was lucky that it happened to be a popular sake that I purchased. The aroma was sour and peculiar. The taste was a complex mixture of sourness and bitterness. I thought it was an adult's sake that you could feel the depth of it the more you drank it.
I let it sit at room temperature for a little over a year. The color has developed quite well! Pleasant Yamahai flavor, deep matured taste, delicious, recommended.
I don't need a box.
Jacket value ... 8/10
There is no other variation, but it is good because it has the coolness of being probable.
Hue ... 11/20
The hue is surprisingly clear, the smell is barley shochu, with some sweetness, but the Alc component is thicker.
Sei... 12/20
It doesn't have much umami, but the taste on the tongue is good with the Alc stimulation.
Turning... 13/20
The taste is not so good, but the aroma is more assertive than the tongue appeal.
Yui ... 11/20
(I still don't know what an amino acid is.) There was nothing terribly exciting.
Cost... 6/10
Purchased for 2,220 yen.
The strong shochu flavor and the lightness of the flavor keep it away from the usual triumphant team style.

Etsukaijin Junmai Ginjo Blue Bottle
August 17, 2024
Trip to Kinpira with my parents. At dinner at the hotel, there was a blue bottle of a local summer sake from Etsukaijin, so we had it.
It has a surprisingly fruity aroma and a full-bodied flavor that is typical of the brand. We enjoyed it with a luxurious snack.

The volume that can satisfy you with just one sip.
Sake with an addictive acidity.
Because it has a full and rich taste
It was a perfect match with simple and solid sashimi and fish.

One I came across by chance.
I had heard about it, but never thought I could afford it.
The aroma has a classic Yamahai-like atmosphere.
The taste is a bit peculiar, just like in the old days.
It has a dry aftertaste with a good sharpness while still having a robust umami flavor.
Delicious, but maybe a little out of my personal taste.
I'm glad I had it.
It has a powerful mouthfeel that is typical of junmai and has a simple image. The aroma is mild. Personally, I find the taste reassuring.
Most of the ingredients come from Hiroshima. The brewery is located near Sanuki Kompira-san.
