It's like the old-fashioned sake I know. As soon as you drink it, you can smell the aroma of rice and the aroma of having been laid down for a while. After that, it spreads and blossoms in the mouth. In the back of the throat, a dry thunderbolt chills and smokes.
When it is heated up, the acidity stands out and the spiciness like sansho (Japanese pepper) dances on the tip of the tongue.

This is the first time I have had Fukyu-Nishiki.
I wanted to have something other than Senkou sake for the Risshun morning pressing, so I chose Fukyu-Nishiki, which is famous for its fu.
It tastes sweet and fruity, like an apple. It tastes like apple juice for adults.
It is very easy to drink and has a refreshing taste. I feel like I've learned something new about the brewery.
I would like to buy it again next time I see it.
Thank you very much.
Slightly fruity aroma.
It flows like water and its softness is felt on the tongue, reminding us that it is a sake as it goes down our throat. It is exactly like a reminder that spring will soon arrive.
It comes easily to the palate.
Refreshing sweetness like a young melon
The spiny taste of young melon stimulates the palate in a good way
Strong yet refreshing flavor 😋.
Risshun morning pressing in 2025 (February 3)
According to the calendar, it was spring yesterday.
However, the strongest cold wave of this winter has hit from today. ❄️
Cold sake served while warming up next to the stove
A small luxury 😋😋.
The Risshun Asa Shibori, which I had reserved and waited for this year, arrived a short while ago, so I opened the bottle immediately.
It has a slightly yellowish taste, and the moment you take a sip, it is fresh, refreshing, and spicy.
It's easy to drink, I like the taste.
It's easy to drink, and I like the taste.
Tomikunishiki has a strong image of sweetness in my opinion, but this one is normal💦🤣.
It was a delicious sake that can be tasted as a normal sake.
It has a little malted rice aroma which is also good👍.
It has a strong acidity, but it is very refreshing, so it was gone very quickly 🤣.
It could be a little sweeter for my taste 😊.
I had been living a healthy life, refraining from drinking alcohol in anticipation of a medical checkup.
My feelings were not good emotionally, as I wanted to drink alcohol, and I thought I was an alcoholic.
Now, I was almost unable to drink at the party, but they brought this.
It was 8% low alcohol and was like melon juice 🍈.
It was easy to drink and light 🍶.
Good evening, Mr. HIRO.
I see you have been sober too, Mr. Hiro 😲.
I was also sober for only 4 days until my physical yesterday, but I had a craving to drink as well 🤣.
It's sinking in when you're sober 😊.
This sake is from Kasai City, next to Kato City, famous for its Yamada-Nishiki.
There is almost no top-fragrance, but it seems to have a very slight citrusy aroma.
It also has a shwashiness to it, but it is a little weak.
The taste of rice seems to be straightforward without any peculiarities.
I enjoyed the smooth taste.
Thank you very much.
I forgot to mention that I made a plum wine six months ago with Tomikunishiki (20 degrees for plum wine) and it was completely finished, so I will drink it with hot water.
When making sake with sake, you need to use half the amount of icing sugar compared to white liquor. The base sake was dry, so the sweetness was a little less, and the ume was both refreshing and mellow.
The second and third pictures are from the pickling process.

A light and fluffy spring breeze is blowing. It is an interesting sake with a bitter taste in a soft and fluffy flavor.
It is good for cherry blossom viewing.
