Old label Kikusen, which is no longer sold.
Kikusen is a great flavorful wine that easily washes down greasy food.
and the taste is wonderful!
My personal favorite.

The sake you wanted to try, huh? Was the label like this? I thought so, but I picked it up!
Purchased at Takimoto's
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 16%.
Fruity aroma like apple
Chili with a hint of 🍎 flavor
More umami than sweetness
Slightly bitter with a nice sharpness.
More sweet and umami than Tazake? I think it was clearer 🤔.
It's still hard, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
Day 2, 🍎-🍈 like flavor, sweetness is delicious ❣️
Day 3, still fruity, less sweetness
Day 4, clear sake-like flavor, goes well with food.
Tasake is delicious, but this one is also delicious ❣️
The price is reasonable and I wish I could drink it everyday 🥹.
I saw a little bit of the Gion Festival Yoi Yoiyama while shopping!
The sake barrels are Gekkeikan and Shochikuubai, just like in Kyoto ✨.
Pon-chan
Hello...it's already Gion Yoi x 3 mountains, isn't it?
Summer is in full swing!
Kikusen is a very hard sake to find... 💦 reading your repo makes me want to drink it 🤤Cosy is the best 🤩.
Hello, Pon-chan.
You are drinking another delicious looking drink 🎵.
It's my first time to see this sake and I'm very curious 😊.
Thanks to all of you at Sake no Wa, I have more sakes to drink and I'm so thankful ✨.
Hello Pon-chan ^_^
I like the classical label, which matches the Gion Festival👍.
Following Tasake's Tokujun, which I always want to keep on hand, I want to keep this one on hand as well ...
I have not seen it yet 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
I see you can buy this Kikusen at a liquor store in Kansai 😳I drank it at an izakaya once and was very impressed with it, so I wanted to drink it again, but never encountered it, so this was helpful: ☺️
I miss the Gion Festival too 🏮.
Good evening, Pon-chan😄.
It's alsobe, so it has some alcohol taste, but it's a cosy drink. ❣️
It's a little over 1000 yen, and this taste is as good as it can be 👏😊💕👍
The label design has changed 😳
Hi Koizo 🐦.
It was a great crowd even during the daytime 😵💫 I've been spending my time avoiding and avoiding the Gion Festival (lol), but I really needed something 💦.
It's easy to drink because it's refreshing even if it's alesed! If you come across it, please do!
Thank you for your time here, Hanapin 😊.
Gion Festival, I wonder if there are some that accept women these days 🤔I've never attended this one 💦I've been around the Gion area to get sake (fee) as a student part-timer 😁.
Hi Waka-chan 🐦 Summer will be here in no time 🎐 Next week is the Tenjin Festival.
Summer will be here before you know it 🎐Next week is the Tenjin Festival, and while I'm saying that, the fireworks festival is over, I'm drinking cold sake, and new sake is ready 🤣I think the year is going by fast and I should take care of it, but I'm not taking any action 🤣.
Hi ma-ki-!
Yes, we have so many that we have to carry them over to the next year 🤣that's a happy scream 🤭.
I think you can find some in stock at liquor stores that carry tasake, so if you can find some, please do 😊.
Hi Manta 🐦 I thought it was the blue label.
I think it was the blue label 🤔I went to Takimoto when I wanted something, so I couldn't buy it even if it was there💦I heard they raised the price, but I'm still thankful it's so cost effective 😆🙏🙏.
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
If you're in Osaka, Kadoya-san might carry it 🤔Takimoto-san sometimes does too, so if you go to a store that carries Tasake, check it out 😊.
I haven't been there for a long time, I remember when I was younger 😆.
Hi T.KISO 🐦.
I knew it had changed! I thought it was blue and then I saw it was a totally different color, so I thought it had finally blurred 🤣.
I envy the locals who can make it their regular drink ✨.
Matsuchiyosa〜〜〜〜〜〜〜n🐦‼️‼️
I'm drinking Aomori sake 😊🍶.
WA
Sake no Wa de
For the sake of the whole country
I'm drinking Hoganoken no Sage!
I don't care what you think
I'm sure you'll take some of that
I'll take it.
Made with only rice and rice malt
Junmai-shu" is called "Tasake
Ginjo-shu" and "Daiginjo-shu" are made by adding brewing alcohol.
Ginjo-shu" and "Daiginjo-shu" are called "Kikusen
Kikusen is good.
I think I prefer Tasake 😊❤️
I'm drinking sake from other prefectures in order to win the whole country with Sake-no-wa.
Don't worry, I drink Aomori sake 😁.
So what do you think?
I don't understand the nuance of "randade bana" and "rahande" 😂.
Matsuchiyo-san
If you want a Tasake Comet, let me know.
I'll buy it!
I think Tsugaru and Nanbu are communicating with each other.
I think we are communicating well in Tsugaru and Nanbu.
No need to worry about anything.
Translation is 💯 point. 🙆♂️
Also in Tsugaru
Aomori, Hirosaki, Goshogawara
the same word is slightly different 😊.
Ando Suigun's Ozaki sake brewery
West is also slightly different😊.
Randadebana
Rahande
I know you're in
Because they are.
Thanks for the correction, chika 😊.
Comets seem to be scarce everywhere in Tokyo and disappear quickly 🥲.
I really should ask for it someday.
How do you all do it?
Matsuchiyosan.
If only I knew how to do it 🤔
If it's regular sake from Aomori.
I'll buy it anytime 🤔
I just got it.
Tasake no Watarifune and Yamadaho
I bought them for a sake beginner at work
I bought them because they were wanted 😁🍶.
Hi Chika 👋😃😃
I also drank Kikusen the other day. My parents were born in Aomori, so I am very attached to it. There are many delicious sake such as Mutsuhachi, Tasake, Toyobai, etc.
Have you decided on Takarazuka? Let's do our best 🎵
Tomo-kichi is also a member of
Manachie, as well as Matsuchiyo
Team Aomori 😁✨✨.
Takarazuka is a 5-horse triplet box
I'm thinking of going with a 5-horse trifecta box 😤🐴✨✨✨.
Polishing ratio 55
Overall, it is modest, with a young, fruity aroma similar to that of rice wine. It can be drunk neatly and refreshingly without any habits. Well balanced. Delicious 😋.
When there are three of us, we are not satisfied with a four-pack and want to drink another bottle.
Then we opened an additional bottle of Kikusen from Nishida Shuzo, the same brewer as Tasake.
I didn't have a good image of this sake, but it was modern and had just the right amount of flavor. It was even better than I had imagined.
My father said he liked this one better and drank it in gulps. I think you should drink while you can. After that, we sunk down on the sofa. He snored so loudly that his grandchildren teased him.
Another brand of Tasake.
This is the first time I have had it, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best of the aluzake brands.
Sweet and tasty and fresh❗.
I found a delicious brand for my birthday 😆.
I will continue my search for delicious sake 🎵
Happy belated birthday to Tomo-kichi 🎉🎂🎂!
It's a great celebration to discover a delicious sake 👍✨I haven't tasted Kikusen yet, so I'd like to taste it: ❣️
Rice used is Hanafukiyuki
The taste is crisp, as is typical of an aluzoe ginjo,
Naturally, it has a good sharpness.
As a food sake, it has the best balance.
Delicious!
Transparent pale crystal
Mild aroma of citrus blossoms.
Slightly light and mellow sweetness
Gentle acidity
Mild bitterness
Mellow and rather short aftertaste
Well-balanced with a touch of sweetness, but well balanced with alcohol.
Nishida Shuzoten Kikusen Ginkan Ginjo-shu, cold sake.
Purchased at Jizakean Sato, a sake shop in Aomori.
Aomori citizens' evening sake.
Light and light taste. The taste is as good as Tasake.
It is an excellent sake that can be drunk all the time.
