まつちよ
@sakebar Fukuzo Fire-brewed sake using Fukuoka Prefecture's original yeast called F44. Slightly sweet aroma of 🍍 on the nose. The palate is slightly sweet with a hint of 🍍. The aroma is as if it was made with hana-yosuyu in mind. However, the aroma is weak because it is fire-aged. The sweetness is also weak due to the weak aroma. I am a little curious to see how it would be like if it were a fresh sake. It was delicious ✨🍍.

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 ㊱ Fukuoka ① Kiku Bijin Sake Brewery in Miyama City This is the first time I have heard of this sake brewery! According to honda's post, Kitahara Hakushu's sister married into the Kikubijin Brewery, so the brewery has a connection with Kitahara Hakushu. Polishing ratio 35%, Yamadanishiki 16%, 4,400 yen Tsukuei" is read as "Tsukubae". It is light, fruity, and has a beautiful taste, but it tastes like an off-flavor.

Alcohol content: 16 Yume Issen Rice polishing ratio: 60 The back side of Kikubijin. I have never had the front side, and this was my first time to drink the back side. The aroma has a lactic acid bacteria drink feel. The bitterness is predominant and the umami of rice can be felt. It is neither like a dry sake nor a medium dry sake. It is a sake that fits the expression "slightly dry. I think it goes well with all kinds of food.

Fruity mouthfeel. It tasted even better when heated up hot, adding a touch of sweetness.

Kyushu (2) Yesterday, I was driven from my eldest son's wife's parents' house in Saga to Hakata where we are staying at a hotel. My eldest son is staying at his wife's house, so he left and my second son joined him instead. The six of us, my daughter and her husband, and the baby, went to a motsunabe restaurant that we had reserved 🍲. Kiku Bijin Fukuoka sake First time drinking (and seeing) it! A little stylish bottle. I later looked it up on the internet and found that Kitahara Hakushu liked to drink it and even wrote letters on it! Soft and gentle? It's a little sweet, but it's refreshing. It doesn't interfere with food and goes down smoothly. We had a late lunch (and cake) until 4pm and then had motsu-nabe from 5pm! For that, I ate okay 🤣.

Kiku Bijin Ura Junmai" by Kiku Bijin Shuzo This is a limited edition product for the brewery's "kurabiraki" (opening at the brewery). The label is also turned inside out. This is a pure sake with the "Kiku Bijin Tokubetsu Junmai Shu" still in the bottle. It is a rich and delicious sake. The title is in the handwriting of Kitahara Hakushu, who wrote it while drinking Kiku Bijin at the brewery. Sake Brewer : (Yamiyama City, Fukuoka Prefecture) Type:Japanese sake (special pure rice sake) Ingredients:Rice, Rice malt Rice used for brewing: Yume-Ichikkyo (100% grown in Fukuoka Prefecture) Polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol Content: 17 Sake Degree: +4

A standard Daiginjo which comes with no surprise. Not a fine fruity type but comes more with yogurt and fresh cheese and somehow a bit of rice feel. Would say the alcoholic feel is a bit over which is not very balanced. Would not rate it very high.
