After the marathon, I looked for a good store in Fukushima and bought it!
It was the right choice. It is really delicious. It's probably unusual for a Fukushima sake, but it has a very strong emphasis on acidity, with a strong sweetness, umami, and bitterness.
Everything is so strong and good!
I had always thought that sake was basically unfit for my body, and had avoided it.
But then I found out that I just hadn't met any good sake yet.
Since then, I have changed from a wine drinker to a sake drinker😅.
At first, I liked well-polished sake!
But as I drank more and more
But as I drink various kinds of sake, I've become more of a junmai or dry sake drinker? I think I'm becoming more of a pure rice or dry sake drinker.
However, I will drink anything (laughs).
(Laughs) Every time I drink sake, I think how delicious it is!
Aizu Shikon, a homecoming sake. I was a little tired of drinking and wanted to drink it frankly, so I bought this one made with white malted rice. I remember that it had a rich acidity typical of white malted rice.
White malted rice. Refreshing sourness. It blows away the gloomy feeling of the day. This sourness may be unique among Fukushima sake. I like it.
The snack is thinly sliced mako flounder.
Thank you for your hard work this week!
Amazing rice flavor!
Moderate acidity and aroma. Junmai Ginjo is good, but Junmai is also delicious. It is not that one is better than the other, but both have their own characteristics and are delicious.
Well, Aizu-Shikon is very good!

Uekiya Shoten hanpukai. 😍
I finally got it in November. 😁
There is one more bottle. (waterfall sweat) 😓.
Aged at minus 5 degrees for 2 years, low temperature aging. 😋.
It's got a great mellow sweetness to it.
but it also has a good acidity, so it doesn't feel too sweet.
I don't feel it is sweet. 😄😄
Here it is today 😎😎.
This is also the first liquor store I went to yesterday ♥️.
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know the name of this place, and it wasn't checked in on Sake-no-Wa.
I wondered how it would turn out, but...
Delicious! It was exactly my favorite 😎.
It's not so sour, but it has a mild and gentle taste 🎵←←I can say it like that.
By the way, there were several other types of Aizu Shikon, but I was told that this once-brewed type was recommended for my taste ⭐.
I'm sure you'll love it! I'm sure you'll love it!
Junrogu 3.9⭐.
Nagurayama Shuzo's Aizu Shikon is brewed in Aizu Wakamatsu City.
Although there is a tangy alcoholic stimulation when the sake is first served cold, it has a good balance of sweet, spicy, and bitter tastes, and as the temperature rises, the sweet and umami tastes come out later on.
This is a refreshing, yet rich and powerful sake!
This is a new brand that was just born 2 years ago, so we will continue to follow it 😋.
