Home Drinking.
Today's lunch only is Shizenigo, a sake from a brewery we visited last week.
I visited there to purchase a bottle of the same brewery's instrument Masamune, but it was not sold at the brewery. Too bad.
When you open the bottle, the carbonation is released and a sweet aroma spreads.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness spreads, but it is not strong.
When paired with bonito, it enhances the umami without giving off a bad smell.
A delicious cup.
Aroma, acidity, maybe a little alcohol?
Very chili when you include it! I've put it down quite a bit and it's amazing.
The soft grapefruit and rice sweetness comes, but is quickly swept away by the chili and clear mouthfeel. It's like being treated with a light bitter acidity.
Wow, I love this. Delicious!
Even after a few days, the impression is still there.
It is packed with acidity. But it is well-balanced, modern and light. Its subtle umami flavor is perfect for the autumn taste!
The instruments are delicious, but I'm starting to wonder about the other Shizenkou wines as well.
Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
Sorry for the late reply 🙏💦.
It was my first time in Nature Township, too, and it was so good 😆 I hope you guys can feel this too ‼️ if you have a chance 👍
Purchased at the brewery! I couldn't help but oooh and ahhh. It's a perfect match for the lingering summer heat, with a well-timed rush of bitter, tasty, and acidic flavors! Yogurt type lactic acid, I guess.
Instruments🎷 are great, but so is this one: 💁♂️
Shizenigo🍶 is also delicious 🍶 ❣️
If it's just for the drinkability, I'd say Shizenigo 🤔
It has a good balance of gasiness, sharpness, umami, etc.
It's well-balanced and great ‼️
It's so yummy!
Pitchy, juicy, and refreshing!
The acidity is also good (๑̀ㅂ́)و✧
I hear that Masamune is very popular among people. Actually, it's not sold at all even in Fukushima.
Shizenigo is relatively easy to find and very tasty, so please drink it~!
Since the rice polishing ratio is 60%, when I bought it, I expected it to have a slightly strong and peculiar rice flavor, but surprisingly, it has a clear mouthfeel.
And after the mild sweetness, the rice feeling comes, I felt. It is delicious. It is a sweet mellow type.
I bought it at "Imadeya" at PARCO in Kinshicho. But I drank too much during this three-day weekend. ......
Today's sake is Enryu Junmai from Shizenigo. I drink this sake quite often this time of year. I was deeply moved that this sake won a gold medal at the Saké Competition 2025.
The aroma is of apples and peaches, but less so, with a hint of rice. When you drink it, it has sweetness and a slight carbonation. The umami flavor is firm and expands from there, and then there is a hint of bitterness, which slowly fades away along with the beautiful sweetness and umami flavor. It leaves a delicious aftertaste. After a little time, it becomes mellower and more delicious. It is not flashy, but it has a delicious flavor that can be savored slowly. It is not flashy, but it is delicious and can be savored slowly. It is delicious.
