Meeting with Mr. TOMO 202411
We are drinking heated sake from the previous Kurumasaka to the last sake 🍶.
Shinkame, which I drank at the brewer's festival, but it was the last one, so I don't remember much about it 🐢.
First, let's start with Hikoson.
It's delicious with a hint of sweetness 😋.
If you have both Hikoson and Kamikame, you want to compare them, don't you?
So...
The meeting surrounding TOMO 2024④.
Old sake discovered by tomo-san?
Bouken-san recommended it?
Starting with that, we started the heated sake series!
Kurumazaka 20 Year Old Sake Aged at Room Temperature
Last time I drank this sake, it felt like Shaoxing sake.
It's easy to drink, though it does get a little sharp when heated up!
Warmed up.
This is my first time drinking it!
Mellow and delicious. ❣️
Shinkame Handmade Junmai, warmed up.
More umami and rich than Hikomago!
It will be delicious warmed up in the coming season 🍁.
Both tastes were something I would like to enjoy at home 🍶.
Good evening Pon, good evening 😃😃They all look delicious ❤😆I wonder what Kurumazaka's 20 years will taste like aged at room temperature ❗I hope so 🎵I want to drink it 😋.
Hi Ponchan, Hi ☺️ Looks like a fun offline meeting! I am envious! It's very reluctant to have not only Shinkame but also Hikoson as well! It is my favorite sake, although it has some quirks. It is a sake that tastes great even when heated and cooled. ☺️
Hi pyonpyon 🐦.
I was scared because it's aged at room temperature, but it's like a whiskey, ❣️ when it's heated up, it gives an alcoholic feeling, but the taste is softer than at room temperature, which I prefer 😊I would love to have a warming contest 😁.
Hi, Minamijikki 🐦.
I've only had both of them heated, but I was surprised at how different they are 😳 Hikoson is my favorite and I would love to drink it at home! I'd love to try both heated and cooled at different temperatures 😆.
Good evening, Pon-chan😄
It was a fun time at the party with TOMO: ☺️
It's nice to be able to compare so many heated sake drinks 🤗.
It's great to see all the Sake-no-wa members from all over the country traveling or on business trips and stopping by on the way 🤗.
Good morning, Tsubu 🐥.
I'm sure you'll enjoy this unique offline meeting 😁.
I'd like to attend offline meetings in other areas too! I bet each one has its own unique characteristics😊I'd love to visit Tochigi too 💕.
9/10
This is delicious.
It has been aged for more than 5 years and has a strong core.
It is delicious on its own, but can be served at room temperature or even warmed up, and it retains its richness and flavor even when heated.
Of course, it comes at a price, but I think it's worth it.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
Purchased at a liquor store right next to Shinkame Shuzo.
The "Ju" we received this time is one of the "Riki", "Ju", and "Yama-Ari Tani-Ari" series of tank top sake.
Last time we had "Riki"!
Riki" has a simple, straightforward taste of rice with a sense of rice flavor as its core! I had the impression that it was a simple, straightforward rice flavor based on the delicious taste of the rice.
but this "Jyu" has a simple, straight rice flavor based on the spiciness of the rice and a tangy taste, with almost no sweetness, giving me a masculine, hard-core impression!
I am a fan of cutting sweet and savory flavors, but I found this one to be delicious 😋.
I had it chilled.
The aroma I felt was
-Aroma: Not much (masculine, no need to produce ⁉️)
-Aroma: Pungent and pungent.
Taste sensation
The higher the number, the stronger the taste (5 is the maximum)
-Spiciness: 4 at the beginning → 3 in the aftertaste
-Sweetness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste
-Sourness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Bitterness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Astringency: 1 at the beginning → 1 lingering 1
-Rice flavor: 1 at the beginning → 1 lingering 1
Mouthfeel I felt】→ 1
Smaller number = light and smooth
Large number = thick and rich
(5 is the maximum)
Ten" is a deliciously spicy, full-bodied wine. Nothing is added, nothing is hidden, and it is truly hard-core! But the proprietress of the sake store is very charming and handsome.
Since it is full-bodied, it seems like a good choice for hors d'oeuvres and other solid food. Homemade mackerel stew, marinated octopus, and chicken fried chicken!
Good evening shinsaku3!
If it's a deliciously spicy, full-bodied, Chinese numeral, it's a perfect score of 10 🤗I may have written this before 😅I have an image of Hikoson-san as a heated sake 🍶! I want to take a bottle of hardy one well 😚.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby! We too feel fortunate to have found a great local sake. We certainly want to taste it well heated with a heavier meal 😍we'll try ten points with a rich fall/winter meal 💯! You're making your hot sake debut: ❤️
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃
I saw the "Sake Heater "Kanmakase" with Kamikame logo" advertised on the website, so I thought it might be for heated sake 😅We'd like to finally enter the realm of heated sake 😃.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
Purchased at a liquor store right next to Kamikame on 5/26. It seems that they don't sell directly to the public.
The website says
The website says, "We do not add anything, we do not hide anything, we carefully and deliberately brew with craftsmanship, farmers, and time as our allies.
Chikara" is one of the "Chikara", "Ju", and "Yama-Ari Tani-Ari" series of tank sake.
First of all, it has a nice aroma right after opening the bottle.
And the taste of rice is simple and straightforward.
There is no extra production, just rice and water!
No other taste is created! That's my impression👍
The rice flavor is very close to that of Hakugakuzen! It is similar to Hakudakesen Gokuso, which gave me the impression of "The Rice Sake!
I would like to have other series!
It was served chilled!
I was impressed by the aroma.
-Aroma on the nose: Delicious ginjo aroma 👍
-The aroma is not so good.
Taste sensation

In anticipation of the dry sake, the hors d'oeuvre was yukke (bonito). The garlic and soybean paste made the sake taste more mellow! I thought one-pot dish would be good for the dry sake, so I made a one-pot dish with salad greens and pork that I got from my neighbor💕Yum!
Good morning, shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
Is it a sake with a crispy rice flavor? I think I've had it before as heated sake 🍶 for drinking outside 🤔 but I don't remember 😅.
Bonito yukke! Looks delicious 😋.
I remembered Hikoson, which I bought for heating sake a long time ago and left at room temperature😅.
We just had bonito tataki for dinner, and we enjoyed it while we ate it.
It's easier to drink than Shinkame, but it still has its own peculiar taste 😁 which is good though 😋.
It is still delicious when heated 🥰.
I haven't had much heated sake because it's too much trouble, but heated sake is still good 🤤🤤.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby 😊.
Hikoson is a heated sake 🥰 I can enjoy heated sake anytime with my Kamikame label Kanmakase and mini mini Kansuke 😅I have to enjoy it while the night is cool 🍶.
Series drank at the store @ Koukoushi
Hikomago Junmai Daiginjo 2005 Brewing
It was probably kept at a temperature below refrigeration, so the strong coloring and Maillard-like aroma are not strong.
The color is crystal to yellow, and the aroma is of tropical fruits. Pineapple, melon, banana, or something along those lines.
The palate is very smooth and slightly mineral, but smooth and pleasant to drink. The taste is mainly sweet and the acidity is not that strong.
I have had some old Daiginjo-style sake from Ryuriki, but this is close to it. The flavor is a bit dry. I don't think it is weak because it is a hikoginjo, so if a daiginjo is aged at a low temperature, it will probably change in this way.
Sake aging. If possible, I would like to systematize the changes caused by aging by assigning parameters such as storage period, sake quality, and storage temperature. But the storage temperature is too difficult for my hobby...
Home Drinking.
Sake bought by the name on the label 🍶.
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Tottori
When opened, there is not much aroma.
The color is clear with bits of rice floating in the air. It is not nigori.
When drunk, it has a light and refreshing mouthfeel.
There is no sweetness, but instead a heavy umami flavor. It stands out because there is no extra flavor. It is right in the middle of junmai sake 🍶🌾🎯.
Occasionally, a sour aftertaste comes with a piquancy ⚡️. The sensation is so numbing that it could be mistaken for spiciness. If I wasn't used to drinking sake, I might have thought it was spicy.
Perhaps it is a classic type of sake, but it was easy to drink without feeling alcoholic 😄.
The sake 🍶 by itself is well worth a look 😤.
