The taste and aroma spread out when it was heated up, and it was completely different!
I can't describe it in one word, and I can't speak for myself, so if you haven't tried it yet, please give it a try!
Anyway, it is a very good sake!
Aged
Drinking with friends (all you can drink) chaos.
The aroma is soft like La France.
Rice-like taste when you drink it.
Smooth texture.
The umami has a core and is beautiful.

Shinkame" is the name of a brand named after a turtle, a messenger of God, that once lived in Tenjin Pond, located behind the brewery. Hikomago" means "great-grandson," and is a brand name given to sake that has been aged for three years or more.
The 🌸 have bloomed, but the cold weather is back and I want to drink heated sake🍶.
Speaking of heated sake, we have Shinkame and Hikosago today!
When I was a new employee (25 years ago 😅), my boss at the time recommended a heated Shinkame sake and I was hooked 😋.
I was in Saitama at the time, so I could get it anywhere and drank it often.
The managing director at the time (a very famous person) passed away and was replaced by a new one, but the taste has not changed and they have been making good sake ever since 🥰.
It tastes great chilled, but it really shows its true value when heated 😋.
It's not flashy, but it's very relaxing 🥰.
I enjoyed it with iburi gakko 😋.
Good morning, tomo 😃.
We only have Kamikame's heated sake 🍶 for outside drinking 😅I'd like to take you out in the winter 😅.
I drank Shinkame's Sweet Squash outside the other day! It was delicious 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😊.
I would love to have a heated Shinkame sake at home 😁.
You can get regular Kamikame in Kumamoto, but there's not much variety to choose from 🥲.
In February, Shinkame Shuzo was at a nearby department store and I tasted a variety of their sake and liked it, but did not buy it because there was still some Shinkame left at that time.
At that time, I was told that Hikomago was a 100% Yamadanishiki version of Shinkame.
The other day, I went to the same department store and found both Shinkame and Hikoson on the shelf, so I ended up buying Hikoson.
Once again, I realized that Yamada-Nishiki is a rice that is sweet and pleasant to the palate when made into sake.
In the winter, I think I will be drinking Hikomago or Shinkame warmed up as a regular. I'm going to enjoy it until it gets a little warmer and look forward to buying the next one before the end of the year.
