Icoma Sake Shop Honzuichi Tasting (1)
There were many events and tasting events held in many places this week, but I went to my neighborhood liquor store 😁.
Mr. Honshuichi from Hiroshima was there!
I drank
Junmai Nama-nihonjunshu straight pumping
Sake strength +4 Senbon-Nishiki Hiroshima Ginjo yeast
Sweet, tasty, fruity, and delicious 😋 It has a Sake meter value of +4 but has almost no spiciness. It tastes as good as the famous pre-sake.
Junmai Nakakumi Orikarami
The one pictured behind the Naokumi.
The specs are the same as for the nao kumi.
It tastes just as sweet as when I bought it and drank it before.
Second fermentation in the bottle.
They said the reason why it feels sweet and tasty for the sake strength is because they use Hiroshima Ginjo yeast.
Doors-dry- Junmai Ginjyo Dai-harakuchi
Sake strength +9 Hachitan-Nishiki, Hiroshima 2021 yeast
J&N-san drank this before 😊.
Sake that can be enjoyed by everyone without feeling too high in alcohol content.
Not too spicy, but sharp with umami and freshness.
Apparently, 2021 yeast is a type 9 yeast.
Doors-fresh- Junmai Ginjo-Okirigarami Nama
Sake strength -2 Hachitan-Nishiki 1801 yeast
Sweet, but more subdued than the first one.
They really wanted to do a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
I bought this one, so a review will follow...
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
I said to the guy at the warehouse, "This label is cool, isn't it? He said, "What, yes.... He had a subtle reaction like that 🤣.
The fourth drink at Sakanaka Zarashi
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 16
Rice / Malted Rice used Rice (domestic) / Rice malted rice (domestic)
Production Date: 2024.12
Hiroshima: 100% Senbon-Nishiki
Roundness comes first.
The roundness comes first, but it hangs on until the end.
Not really my favorite.
It is not so good with strong food.
Junmai Ginjo-shu🍶 made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki grown in Hiroshima Prefecture.
Gorgeous aroma with hints of melon flavor, sweetness followed by lingering acidity and light bitterness 😄.
Yes, it's good, easy to drink 😆.
Stop ‼︎ Hibari-kun!
White alligator = Hisashi Eguchi = Hibari-kun!
This formula holds true.
I miss it so much!
I used to read the series a lot😊.
Forgot to post this: 🙇♂️
I had a drink a couple of weeks ago!
I've never had Honshu Ichiban before!
I was attracted to the white malted rice and also bought a little packet 😄.
Yopa Memo
Calm acidity
Not too much and not too much
Grapefruit juice
I don't think the balance changed much after a few days
It was delicious 😋😋😋
Thanks for the treat🎶.
Made with Hiroshima 2021 yeast and 100% Hiroshima rice "Moeibuki". Test brewing.
Moeibuki" is a cross between "Ko-ken Omachi" and "Seinan 136" and is the new variety of Hiroshima Prefecture's rice suitable for sake brewing, the name of which will be announced in 2023.
The initial aroma is straw. It is sweet and spicy, with a hint of sourness, and has a hundred facets. It is an interesting and peculiar sake. It is difficult to describe. The difference between the attack and mouthfeel, and when it is rolled and swallowed, is too great. The aftertaste is usually dry.
New brands handled by Icoma Sake Shop
Fresh, slightly effervescent, sweet and delicious. Despite the label, the taste is quite modern. It has a bitter taste towards the end.
The taste itself is comparable to popular brands. I would recommend it to people who like Hana 00.
Personally, I think the label could be a little better 🤔.
I had a chance to try some samples of Honshu Ichiban the other day, and there were a lot of fruity ones, so I'm looking forward to their future arrivals!
Hello bouken 😃
We also had a bottle of Honshu Ichiban last year 🤗
It was dry but on the contrary it was stylishly designed😍I would like to try the fruity one 😋.
It has a strong sweetness. It also has a good amount of acidity, and its flavor is different from that of ordinary sake. I bought some norete today because it was on sale, which is rare. The sashimi was a yellowtail with yellowtail's gall. This sake goes perfectly with seafood.
