For the first time, I reserved and purchased sake directly from the local Sugihara Sake Brewery.
It is freshly pressed sake.
Melon-like aroma from the first sip.
Both sides of the bottom are numb, and the umami flavor comes with a zdong.
Delicious! It's so delicious!
If I could drink such good sake, I would make a reservation and buy it regularly.
It goes well with cream cheese marinated in molasses and anything else, but it goes really well with this. It is a strong and delicious sake that envelopes strong snacks.
Even though it is a special junmai, it has a slightly nice aroma on the palate. It has a mild taste even though it is freshly pressed.
And yet, like a special junmai, it goes well with hot pot.
This is very delicious. If it tastes this good, then Imi must be...very tasty.
Chiyonohana Special Honjozo Shiboritate.
When it is first served from the ice-cold cellar, it has a mild iso-type aroma with a hint of alcohol.
It has a soft, flabby texture on the tongue, but on the top of the palate, there is an alcohol taste, a long but gentle sourness and umami, and a sharp sweetness characteristic of the Sugihara Sake Brewery.
It has a strong flavor reminiscent of Imi, but with more soil than floral.
This is a sake that I would like to pursue this season.
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.
