NANIKONO OISHI LIQUID ✨
Ummm 😋
The first thing that catches my eye is the blue color of the bottle and label.
Then the word "Laughing Four Seasons" in gold... the font is also stylish ✨✨.
When poured into a glass, it has a refreshing aroma like green apple, and when you put it in your mouth, the elegant sweetness spreads from a gentle and smooth mouthfeel. ☺️
It is very light and goes down your throat with a hint of sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste 🍶🍶.
No, it was really easy to drink and delicious.
There are 5 colors in this series, including blue, and I would like to try them all someday 😋.
Ripe fruit aroma
Pleasant sweetness when drinking
The acidity is impressive.
I wonder if it is a combination of tastes unique to the traditional sake making process.
It is easy to drink!
Laughing Four Seasons is the only place to buy in Morioka City.
Key shop.
I sometimes want to drink Laughing Season.
But this tropical sunset is new to me.
The orange color of the bottle is reminiscent of a sunset.
The sake itself is not colored.
The acidity was strong, like a summer sake, like Senkou.
Maybe because it is made from nama-moto (sake brewing process).
But it is not a low-alcohol sake, so you can't gobble it down.
However, as I drank more, the acidity became less of an issue.
When poured into a glass, it smells of fresh ginjo aroma. It is soft in the mouth, with a fresh sweet and sour taste. There is no sense of gas and the aftertaste is bitter. It is fire-aged but still fresh. It is good to drink it in a tin 👍The next day, it is served in a hiya (a small sake glass).
Shiga Local Sake Festival in Otsu 202510
Sho Shiki Sake Brewery, Sho Shiki booth.
The brewery's toji was here as well. They brought the same MONSOON and other series as the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
◉Shaoshiki Kijoshu Special Arc Cold Front Orizake EXTREME 2024-2025 <Limited Edition for Shiga Sake Festival>.
This is a limited edition sake only available here. The taste is elegant and light, with a green apple-like fruitiness.
◉Shojo-shiki Kojo-shu Special Arc Cold Front 2024-2025
This is the regular orizashi version, from the production line that came out about a week ago. This one also has a green apple flavor, refreshing and clean.
◉Shojo-shiki Kijo-shu Special Arc Cold Front 2023-2024
Mild and mellow. Still some minerality.
◉Shiki Kijoshu Special Arc Cold Front 2022-2023
Aged for 3 years. The most robust flavor, minerality and drinkability.
The same specs and different ages are compared to show how interesting kijoshu can be.
I was impressed by the service spirit of the company, such as the fact that they made and brought a special sake that was only available at the event.
Laughing Four Seasons Drinking Comparison (accidentally 🤣)
I stayed over the night before a business trip to Osaka, this time in Esaka.
I went to the restaurant alone to have a quick drink.
There were about 10 kinds of sake. But since I was going all out, I thought I'd try some Kansai sake, but the only Kansai sake available was Shoki and Kankoume (Kansai?). I had just had Shoki the day before at home...!
Laughing Shiki WORLD PEACE Nama Orizake
This is my first time drinking this!
Gentle sweetness, fresh!
Slightly lactic?
Fruity, slightly sour
A bit cloudy (of course 🤣), overall gentle and tasty 😋.
Sensation GOLD, which I drank the day before, a bit bitter and sour, this one smooth overall, maybe?
Pineapple and rose label...looks like a flower yeast!
Good morning, Takashi 😃.
Thanks for your business trip to Osaka: 🙇♀️
LOL Shiki, we happened to compare drinks! They are totally different types so it made for an interesting drinking comparison👌Good luck with your work☺️I guess izakaya shinkansen 🚅 on the way home🤣.
