I decided to go ahead and drink the souvenir sake as my stock has grown with Aizu souvenirs.
This time it was a local sake from Laughing Shiki, bought at Hikone Castle!
I still can't forget how the label was so simple that it caught me off guard 👁.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was gentle and full of rice. The rice polishing ratio is 60%, so it has a beautiful, almost ginjo-style aroma.
The mouthfeel is soft. It has a delicious taste of rice, a slight sweetness, and a sourness that gradually spreads. It has a flavor like mature sake, soft but with a lot of depth.
The transition from the umami to the crisp acidity and light sharpness is just the right amount for everyday use, and it is so delicious that we can only imagine how good it would be if it were heated up!
It's already been half a year since I went there when the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom. Time flies by so fast 🫣.
Good evening, stst. Indeed, this label is too simple to be of interest 😆 I am curious! I'm curious to know what you think! I just saw a commercial of people eating nabe (hot pot) at a kotatsu, and I guess it will be the end of the year in no time. 😮💨
Good evening, Hirupeko!
The label and the flavor are so different from the distributed products that you can feel a new aspect of "Laughing Season" 👐.
I'm surprised that new sake is coming out soon, and a year really flies by 🫠.
Good morning, stst 🐥.
I'm in Shiga, but I've never seen this label before ‼️ I guess it's for local use that's pretty pinpoint 😳 It looks and tastes really easy to drink 😊.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
It may only be available in limited areas in the prefecture, such as Hikone Castle 🤔.
It's a great flavor for the upcoming heating season, so please give it a try ✨.
I went to the pottery festival in Shigaraki.
Raccoons everywhere. It was fun. It was wonderful to be able to buy not only pottery but also sake at the festival. And to be able to buy sake for home use, which is not so polished.
The other day, I drank a delicious Shiki sake.
It was a delicious sake with a modern flavor, but with a lightness and a strong rice and sake flavor behind the lightness.
This time, since it is a junmai sake for drinking at home, I guess the target is us old guys. It was right in the middle of the thick sake. Too good.
It is also nice to be able to drink Shiga sake with Shigaraki ware.
The aroma is weak.
Sweetness spreads in the mouth.
Since I heard that the brewery is particular about sweetness, I thought it would be very sweet, but it is not harshly sweet, and yet the sweetness is felt well.
The fact that it does not have a harsh taste after passing down the throat is a favorable impression.
It is also a good sake for a meal.
I bought it for the naming and label. It has a mild flavor with a bit of herbal bitterness.
The transparency or acidity is low, giving a gentle impression.

We had so much fun that we were already tongue-tied from this point on.
Sensation, Orizake Extreme, Raw
The label has been changed from O's Noh mask, so it's easier to choose.
A little fruity with rounded acidity. There was not much orizake in the poured glass, but it was sweet and tasty.
This sake is from Shiga, but it is not found in Mie area.
Laughing Four Seasons' kijoshu is solidly good.
Slightly musty? Slightly sweet aroma with a dead smell
Big sweet mouthfeel, but the finish is not sticky and persistent.
To be honest, I was not a fan of the bitter taste from the old Kimoto style, but I like the big sweetness of this Kijo-shu because it is just right for a mellow umami taste without too much bitterness. Especially when hi-ire.
I am sad that I can't find the perfect mellow-umami taste in many cases 😢.
Polishing ratio: 50% Yamadanishiki produced in Shiga Prefecture
Watery on the palate, with a gradual, mellow sweetness and moderate acidity!
As the name suggests, the quality of the sake is very light, so it goes down smoothly ✨The Shiki is elegant and has character, just as you would expect from 🙆♂️

Evening drinks at home.
After the children went to bed, I drank sake.
The sake of choice was MONSOON
The sake we chose was GINBUKIYUKI by SHOKI MONSOON. It is said that they have started to make sake
It has a banana-like aroma on the top. It has a banana-like aroma on the nose.
It tastes like honey with a rich sweet flavor.
The alcohol taste comes in gradually at the end.
It has a banana-like top note and a rich, sweet, umami, honey-like flavor. I think it is better to drink it by itself.
but if you drink it with dried fruits, the sweetness and bitterness are moderated and it tastes great.
the sweetness and bitterness are moderately tempered and delicious.
My parents who drank it with me liked it very much.
I will buy it again if I see it again. If I see it again, I will buy it.
I will buy it if I see it again.
㊗️ Sake Day 🎉
I just recently found out that it's Sake Day, but since I'm here, I opened a bottle.
I saw this bottle at Sake-no-wa and wanted to try it.
There are black and white, and I was inspired by the white one.
The first sip was soft! The sweet fruit spreads with a soft bitterness, and then it finishes softly... a strange sensation.
Hard to describe but delicious! 👏
Good evening, Mia-san.
I also learned from Sake no Wasa that Sake Day is today 😁✨✨.
And just like you, I'm having a drink 🍶.
LOL I've always wanted to try the four seasons, so I'm very interested 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-😊.
I like your Issei! Cheers to Sake Day 🍶.
This one and the black one were the only ones on the line at the liquor store I went to, but I was quite worried 😇This is one I want to repeat and drink different versions of 👏.

One of my favorite sakes, Shiki.
I did a double-take at the unfamiliar classic label 😳.
The store owner told me it was a sake that is only available in the Shiga Prefecture area 🤩.
It seems to be a limited edition this year, but they are planning to make it a regular item from next season onwards!
I got a head start 🥰.
After opening the bottle, the aroma was apple-like, which is typical of the No. 6 yeast, and I felt like an apple with a lot of honey 🤔, as well as ripe peaches.
And there is also a unique aroma of Shiki.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a little bit of a slight effervescence 🤔It has a nice sourness and a sweetness that spreads quickly, but there is no unpleasant messiness at all, and I really like the sweetness.
Oh! Yes, I'll have to try it heated 😦! Let's try heating it up 🤩.
It was delicious with the sweetness flying off in a good way 🤩!
That's what I'm talking about 😘.
If this is 1,300 yen without tax, I would always buy it👍It really is a friend of the common people!
Delicious!
The horses are doing well too 👍
My daughter won the badminton district tournament last week, so we went to a sushi restaurant to celebrate 🍣 my treat 😅.
Good morning, kozo 😃.
This classic label is heated sake 🍶! you might think 😊Nice choice👍.
And congratulations to your daughter for winning the Badminton🏸 tournament🏆🎊I guess I'm happier than winning a horse😆.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good morning 🥰.
I was quite taken with this label 🥰.
It really makes you look twice 🤣.
My daughter is doing well in her club activities 💪I hope she does well in her studies too... 😅
Congratulations to your daughter on her win 🏆.
🐎San is doing well, treat her to lots of sushi that doesn't turn 😆.
Thanks for the Shiga sake 😊 so we can buy the retro labels! 😳Would love to have a fresh one when it comes out!
Pon-chan
Thank you very much for your kind attention 👍My daughter takes her club activities seriously but neglects her studies 😰The elation of winning a game and the sense of accomplishment are the same as when she gets a good score in a test, but...
