Sugihara Shuzo, "Japan's smallest sake brewery", brews Chiyonohana, a local brand of sake such as Imi.
This special honjozo is the first of their freshly brewed bottles.
The appearance is a slightly pale yellow-green color with a misty, very faint orikara mist!
Orikagara-mist delight!
The aroma is subdued and gentle, yet aromatic.
Fruity with apple, pear, melon, and blue banana peel, with a coolness of alcohol.
The rice aroma is about the same as that of Kamishinko.
The smooth texture gives off a thick sweetness that is juicy and contains the umami of the rice, and the edgy stimulation of the alcohol passes pleasantly through the palate and into the nose.
The fresh freshness of the freshly squeezed flavor flows beautifully and finishes with the gentleness of orikara.
The mild fruity aroma is also pleasant, and the lingering aftertaste of alcohol is very gentle.
This is...extremely delicious!
On the 6th day after opening the bottle, the aroma is gentle and noble.
The aroma is gentle and elegant, with no sharpness, and the taste is unforgettably clean and fresh with an elegant sweetness and a light, refreshing acidity.
The finish is sharp and lingers gently and moderately.
Truly wonderful.
It was so delicious that we were happy to have encountered this sake in the season of new sake 🍶.
Good evening, Aladdin!
Thank you for enjoying my local sake!
The brewery said the second day was the best day, but you enjoyed it for 6 days 😆 Great job ✨.
Good morning, Aladdin. ☀️
I'm getting this Chiyonohana here.
It will be very helpful for me to drink it from now on😊.
It's great for us little drinkers to be able to drink it even after 6 days 😘I'm looking forward to drinking it🤗.
Good evening, kino.😃
I'm so jealous that Sugihara Sake Brewery is your local sake 🤤.
The first day's angularity wasn't bad, but from the brewery's point of view, the second day is the real winner 🤔.
We store ours in ice temperature, but I wanted to see more changes!
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 😃.
If you are going to drink it from now on, please enjoy it!
I thought that this sake is more suitable for drinking at home, watching the opening changes from the first day, rather than drinking it outside 🍶.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
It was an intoxicating sake with a combination of gentleness, elegance and freshness 🍶.
The very faint taste of the dregs was also very "Shiboritate" and also very good 🍶 ☺️
I'm a self-proclaimed nigorist, light nigorist and ogara mist 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Not too sweet and not too dark, I think J&N would like this type of sake!
The special junmai is available until the end of December and the junmai ginjo until a little later, you can order it from the brewery by phone or online if you like 🍶😊.
Tonight, I went out for a drink and came home drunk, but I didn't have enough to drink, so I opened a bottle of this sake: 💁♂️
Chiyonohana Special Honjozo Shiboritate Namazume 2024BY✨.
This is a sake that is distributed within the prefecture by the Sugihara Sake Brewery, which brews the famous Imi, the smallest sake brewery in Japan 🙌.
This one is a complete clear sake. Tachika has a darker pineapple/tropical flavor compared to Imi 🏝️, but I personally like the more mature, clear pineapple flavor ☺️. The flavor is mainly sweet and tasty, but it has a clear, crisp aftertaste and is made so you don't get tired of drinking it, which I really prefer 😋😋😋😋.
I can feel the depth of Mr. Sugihara's spirit in this bottle, but I don't have his usual poems 😅.
Local Sake!
Looks like Sugihara Sake Brewery has also started brewing this season✨ I hope to drink a lot of Chiyonohana this season!
No more nigori releases from Junmai Ginjo 😭 Still, I bought 4 bottles of Jun Dai alone so I was able to fully enjoy it👍
It's juicy and the most fancy one 😋.
The brewery also sells a lot of sake-kasu related items such as sweets, breads, bean buns, etc. 🍞.
Financier with sakekasu from Imi!
The soft aroma of the sakekasu is great 👍!
Good evening, kino.
I'm jealous that you can go to the warehouse 😊♪ I want to try the financier from Imi 😚 The bread and bean paste also look delicious 😆♡ Speaking of financier, I always buy the financier from Shinshu Kamerei when I go to the warehouse ❣️
Good evening, Tsubu-chan!
This is the closest brewery to my parents' house, so I can drop by on my way home 😆.
I'm sure Dora-chan can come to Gifu on her way to Ueda, too. 🤣
Good evening, Pon!
You can't buy Imi, but you can buy Chiyonohana!
It's closed on weekends except for the season, and even on weekdays, so you have to call in advance 😅.
sonorous
Whenever I went to my grandma's house as a child, I was always greeted with these words.
The nostalgic words were pasted on the warehouse ✨.
Chiyonohana Special Junmai!
Sweet and juicy 🍈🍍🍓.
This is my favorite 🥰.
I heard that this special junmai is the last nigori ‼️
I heard they couldn't make nigori sake when they made a new bag for straining 💦.
They might not be releasing nigori next season 😅
Tomorrow is a paid holiday!
Is everyone okay with the typhoon?
I commute from Gifu to Nagoya by train, which takes over an hour,
My boss told me to take a paid day off tomorrow because he doesn't want me to be unable to go home after coming to work 😅. I was told by my boss about an hour before the regular time today😅.
No, no, I have work to do tomorrow💦.
So I worked overtime until 10pm and I'm still on my way home 😇 There's nothing to do at home tomorrow, so I'll probably start drinking in the morning 🍺.
Chiyonohana, a local brand of Imi!
I like the gusto of the alsobe👍.
It's delicious with a rich sweetness followed by a sharpness 🥰.
I got this from kino.🍶.
I can only thank him for giving me so much 🙇.
It's sweet and delicious ‼️ but not cloying and exquisite taste 😋 reaffirms that it's a great sake 😉.
I played mahjong 🀄 with Cape Echimisaki while drinking here...,
I lost a lot of money 😭4 consecutive defeats 😫I have a feeling this season is going to be a trial 😨.
Chiyonohana Special Jun at home
This is the second year we have started drinking it.
It has a slightly golden color, a little spicy, a little hot, and a little rice flavor.
It tastes a little bit of rice.
It has a good umami taste and is good as a food sake!
Today I was able to come to my favorite standing bar, chuin, after a long time 😊.
First, here is a Chiyonohana Shiboritate Nama Tsume, a local limited edition from Sugihara Sake Brewery, which brews Imi.
It is aged in ice temperature for about 5 months, a specialty of chuin.
The exterior is a warm crystal.
The aroma is very gorgeous, yet gentle, with hints of apple and melon.
The soft mouthfeel is stimulated by the tingling alcohol.
It starts with acidity, develops into a molasses-like sweetness, and then the sharp alcohol rush to the back of the throat.
It has a good sharpness and a short aftertaste.
As the sip goes on, a slight bitterness seeps through from the mid-palate to the back of the mouth, and there is a slight astringency on the tongue.
It retains the freshly squeezed flavor, but the ice aging has made the stimulation milder.
This is the kind of sake you want to linger over in a bottle.
This has nothing to do with sake, but 4 elderly men and women came to the bar and made a lot of noise in a very Kansai-like (sorry, I mean bad) way 😅.
Fortunately, they didn't get involved with us, so we were able to enjoy our drinks.
When I enjoy good sake, I want to be beautiful in the way I drink it 😌 and at the same time, I think it is important to age well 😌.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
This is a local exclusive from Mr. Imi's brewery! Looks like we won't be seeing you in person anymore😅.
There's a big difference between having fun 😄 and being intensely gawky 🥴 🤔 I hope to age well 😌.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
There are rumors that if you reserve a table at the warehouse, you can get one if you wait, but I'm just standing around drinking 😊.
They were obnoxious old men, yelling, tangling with the owner, trying to sing 😌.
Good evening, Aladdin-san. It's been a while since you had a bad experience at chuin-san. I want to have fun and drink in moderation, I tell myself 😅Chiyonohana, the feeling of wanting to linger over a bottle of sake, no that's good 😆🍶.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃.
I don't dislike it so much, but I felt sorry for the sake being drunk that way 😅I have to correct myself by watching other people's behavior 😅.
Chiyonohana was a sake like sake that was bright but also got soft and gentle with maturity 🍶😊.
Freshly squeezed sake given to me by kino. who was squeezing it in Susukino: ❤️
I've only ever gotten Sugihara-san's sake as a gift_(:3」∠)_
The fruity aroma is mild and mellow.
The sweetness is accented by a slight bitterness. The lingering aftertaste disappears nicely, but only the bitterness remains softly.
It is a sweet jungin sake, but it is also a good sake to drink with food.
Thank you kino.
600 check-in ✌
The first sake we will serve is "Chiyonohana" by Sugihara Shuzo, a famous sake brewer in Izumi.
This sake was given to us by Mr. kino❗
Thank you very much 🙇.
I don't know how difficult it is to understand, but it was a happy moment when I was intoxicated by the beautiful sake 🎵
Hello, Noodle Wine King.
Congratulations on your 600th check-in 🥳.
That's a rare sake that deserves to be a Kiri number.
I'm from a neighboring prefecture,
I've never even seen a real one 🤣.
I am so envious 😭
Congratulations to the King of Noodle Sake for 600 check-ins: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kilin number with a rare drink from kino. It was a nice celebration 👍✨I'd love to meet you😻

Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Mr. Noodle🎊!
I felt like I made a congratulatory comment just recently?
The cycle is so fast that my head is 🌀🧐.
Maybe I'm drunk 😁.
Good evening, King of Noodles and Sake 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm jealous of you because I've never even seen a rare sake with the number 👍 neither here nor in Imi 😋.
Noodle, congratulations on 600 check-ins🎊This one is sweet but certainly not cloying 😆 There isn't much variety of sake in Gifu even in Ibaraki, so I hope kino. will send us a variety of brands 🤣.
Good evening, Noodle Wine King brethren 🌇.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉!
I was surprised to hear that you chose this restaurant based on your friendship with kino.👍
I haven't experienced Chiyonohana yet, so I'd like to try it.
I'd like to try it.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Drink King 🌛.
Congratulations on reaching 600 check-ins 🎉Your pace is very fast😲.
I think I'll take a drive in search of sake since Gifu sake is not well distributed despite being in the neighboring prefecture 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check in ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉Imi is our goal, but more than that it's rare sake 😳I love your connection with people 🤗.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Menzhuoha! ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️
Chiyonohana is delicious 😋 The last Jungin of the season will be delivered this month👍.
Gifu sake is full of both sweet and spicy delights 😆.
Good evening, yan 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I was able to drink Imi last year thanks to Tsubu-chan, but it's hard to get it on your own 😅I envy you that there are so many great sake in the Chubu region 😆.
Maechen, good evening 😃.
Thank you 😌.
A glass of rare sake is the best ✨I'm looking forward to opening a bottle of Ishikawa sake as I have a stock of Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory which I haven't had yet 😊.
Good evening, Masa 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I think Masa-san and I are in the same situation of enjoying Sake while asking how my wife is doing 😅Let's enjoy Sake while pushing each other to the very edge 🎵.
Good evening, Ane 😃.
Thank you 😌.
If you get the top rank in mahjong, kino. might give you a gift 😁.
I can't catch up to your number of bottles 😅we drink different amounts 😂.
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I've reached early because I boosted my sake at the Tokyo Mahjong training camp 😁.
Let's continue to drink so much delicious sake that we lose track of the number of times we drank 😉.
Good evening, TOMO 😃.
Thank you 😌.
It's not easy to find them in Kumamoto 😅I don't see them in Hokkaido either 😭I'm sure they're sold somewhere, but they're an urban legend now 😲.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodle Wine 🌆.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins🎊㊗️🎉
I haven't experienced chiyonohana yet😅.
I'll celebrate with a rare sake 🍶 from kino. which deserves to be the first one 👍.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I would like to try a variety of delicious Ibaraki sake 😊There must be some lesser-known but beautiful sake in each region ❗Searching for them is one of the ways to enjoy sake 🎵.
Good evening, Brother Haruei Chichi 😃.
Thank you 😌.
It was a great success with a burst of friendship power with kino. 💪The deep bond between Gifu and Hokkaido❗Well, I just benefited from it one way 😅.
Good evening, Gyve 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I don't see them even in neighboring prefectures, so Hokkaido is even tougher 😅It's nice to be able to drive to Gifu 😆 There are many places I'd like to visit like the Hida region ❗
Good evening, takeshon 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I don't know if I can call you a person of virtue😅I don't have the words to return to you if you call me a hyena of the sakewa kai 😅.
I really appreciate all of you 🙏.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you 😌.
Without meeting kino. we wouldn't have been able to drink Sugihara Sake Brewery's sake😊.
I realize that Sake-no-wa is a really nice app ✨.
Good evening kino.😃
Thank you so, so much 🙇.
I'm sorry I got so many other things 🙏.
What 💦 will you get it again ⁉️ I'm too happy 😆 heck even if my wife is mad at me 😁.
Ace, good evening 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I envy you because there are a lot of good sake in Aichi ❗It seems like there are a lot of good sake breweries as well as good liquor stores ❗
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Menzake King㊗️🎊🎉🍾🎊㊗️
Chiyonohana, I love it too ☺️ Sugihara sake brewery makes the brewing alcohol to sleep to make it blend better with the sake 🤔 but well, I want to enjoy this sake without such logic 😁.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Noodle Sake King: ㊗️🎉🎊😆🙌Congratulations on the Chiyonohana 😆👍When we meet again, I'll bring you a shot of eimi 🤗♪
Congratulations to the King of Noodle Wine for 600 check-ins ㊗️🎉🎊
I've received many different drinks from many different people and I always think it's because of your personality 😊I look forward to more reviews 😌.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Menchan 🎊㊗️🎉!
Chiyonohana ✨ is a perfect fit for Kiri.
That's the best 👍
I got mine from kino. and it's delicious 😆.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Noodle: ㊗️🎉
Chiyonohana, I had never heard of it before😳
That's great that a great rare sake is the Kiri number 👍Men-san's human virtue 😊.
Hi Aladdin 😃.
Thank you 😌.
You put a lot of time and effort into brewing delicious sake by laying down the brewing alcohol to settle 😲 each one ❗ Aladdin is very knowledgeable 😉.
Hi Rafa papa 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I am the hyena of the sakewa world ⁉️
I'm not the healer of the sakewa world, I'm the sneaky one😅.
I am the one who has you all to thank for your support! Please continue to patronize me 🙏.
Hi Jikon 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I really envy you for having a good sake brewery and liquor store in the area 😊I would love to have an off-line meeting with you and Jikon to talk about tongue and cheek! 😆😆
Hi Maru 😃.
Thank you 😌.
I can't believe I'm a werewolf 😅I'm a werewolf, an erotic wolf in human skin 🐺Let's have an erotic writhing while drinking sake today 😳.
Good morning Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
Thank you very much 😌.
I was miraculously able to get some of the sake from other sources 😊There are many good sake shops in the east of Hokkaido but not as many varieties as in central Hokkaido.
The izakaya owner graciously allowed us to drink it!
We were talking about Imi, Jyushiyo, and Shinmasa, and he said he had some purchased from the brewery! and ...
Chiyonohana⁈I thought (I've never heard of this brand 💦) and looked at the label and it said Sugihara Shuzo! The owner said that Izumi is sweeter than Chiyonohana!
I tried it and it was sweet enough! If it's sweeter than this, I'm going to get tired of drinking it.
Chiyonohana is sweet but has a sharpness to it, which I imagine is similar to Kahanoyaka.
Personally, I liked it, but I think it is not available very often, so I was satisfied to have a very rare sake!
4.6/5
Freshly squeezed by KINO. (meaning "freshly squeezed")
The aroma is mild and the flavor is outstanding.
The lingering aftertaste that slowly fades away is also very pleasant!
Thank you kino.
This is the sake that kino. gave me 🍶.
I could drink Chiyonohana again this year✨!
It's from the brewery in Imi, right? Thank you for this precious sake 🙏.
It's quite sweet, but strangely I don't get tired of drinking it 😉 It's a good sake after all 😊.
Thank you so much kino.
