The second cup was a brand called Kikyuusen from Aomori.
This sake is made from Aomori's "Hanabukiyuki" sake rice.
This also matched the eel course.
It was delicious! 🙋
Today I will have "Kikusen" instead of "Tasake". Junmai is "Tasake" and Asoe is "Kikusen", right?
The sake with al-soze has a beautiful ginjo aroma that is transferred to the sake, giving it a refreshing impression on the palate, but this sake has a nice "Tasake" atmosphere underlying the ginjo aroma.
Today's entrée was kelp kamaboko, dried kinme seaweed, and Thai sashimi, but no matter which sake you serve with it, you can easily drink it without any hindrance.
It is a good sake to have a bottle in the refrigerator.
I won the lottery for the sake I wanted to try, so I came here to buy one more bottle, and I was attracted by Aizu Miyazumi and Kafuda-shu, but the main sake was too expensive so it was over my budget😅.
I found a reasonably priced sake that I wanted to try, so I bought it ✨Kikusen from Nishida Shuzo, the same brewery as Tasake😍It's not junmai, but I'm looking forward to it!
The aroma is like green apple.
It has the same beautiful umami as the Tasake, but this one has a sharp acidity that pushes it over the edge! In total it is a dry sake✨.
Dry sake is what I think of as a food sake these days, so I had a soft salad rice cracker by my side! Oh, I've paired it with sake at a sake seminar...and since it's rice, it seems to go well with it.
It's delicious when paired with ✨I think it goes well with the umami that stands out 😊.
The price was under 1500 yen so it was easy on the wallet too 😆.
Good evening, ichiro18😄Kikyuusen from the Tasake brewery, it's dry 😆So it goes well with salad rice crackers because it's the same rice! I might want to give it a try 🧐.
But I'm not sure I'm confident enough to go for the dry one yet 🤣.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Thank you very much 😊
I thought this one is easy to drink as it is also sweet and tasty among the dry 😍I think the spiciness of the dry sake turns into umami when paired with food 🤔.
Good evening, Chirsta 😃.
Thank you 😊
Sashimi! Indeed, if you look closely at the label, it has waves like Mr. Wakanami 🤩Sashimi would also go well with it ✨I'll drink it with sashimi next time I find it...
Hello ichiro18, ☀️
I think dry and rice crackers🍘sounds like a good match! I'd love to try it next time I make love to you
And congratulations on winning 🎉㊗️ I'm going to Wadaya too, so is it that or that? I'm looking forward to your post with my imagination 🤭.
Hi Kotaro 😃.
Thank you for the rice😊It goes surprisingly well with it so give it a try ✨Yes, winning is a thing ✨Wadaya, it's nice that you can also buy it in stores 😁.
My first Kikusen.
I've been avoiding ginjo-shu because of my lack of experience with it, but this is delicious! My world has expanded. ☺️
It's lighter than the Tasake Special Junmai, but the rice flavor is also very strong, and the sense of balance is perfect. This is a great cosmetic value at 1,400 yen.
I drank it with edamame, and I don't know if it was the potential of the edamame, but it was a marriage where the edamame felt like corn.
Best to soak in good sake tomorrow with the excuse of the 7/5 prediction!
Taste is consistent and smooth.
It is not unpleasant, easy to drink, and has no cloying taste.
Ginjo is very good as an everyday sake.

Next up, Kikusen. I think this is my first time drinking this.
I didn't know it was from the Tasake sake brewery 😯.
It's refreshing, but a little sweeter than the Hakurakusei I just had.
Beautiful and slightly sweet?
But at my age, there is a lot of talk about health and the old days 😆.
The last picture is from the first Chinese restaurant (forgot to take a picture of the yakitori 😭)
Whew, I'm back from Towada🚙😮💨 tonight I chose this one that I bought when I went back to my parents' house💁♂️
For some reason, you can't buy this sake in Morioka, but you can buy it in Saga. What a mystery 😔.
But aside from that, let's start with the standing aroma. The aroma is sweet, gentle and subtle. In the mouth, sweetness of rice and a mellower and softer mouthfeel than I expected. There is a lingering bitterness at the end. Overall, it is a ginjo-shu, but the sweetness is reserved and the aftertaste is refreshing. I'll buy it immediately when I find it 😁.
With leek and pork with egg. The leek's unique aroma, sweetness, crunchy texture, pork flavor, and fluffy egg texture bring out the sweet and savory flavor of this sake and reduce the bitterness. It's a good match. ❤️

Hi Komacchan 😃.
Thanks for your long distance travel 🚙😌.
Interesting that you can't buy Aomori sake in Iwate but in Saga 😳😄Cosy Kikusen! Do they sell it in Utsunomiya 🤔?
