3. It has a good balance of sweetness and umami with a sake-like flavor on the palate, but without a strong alcohol taste. It would be even better with a touch of acidity. Ginfukiyuki from Shiga Prefecture, 60%, special junmai, unfiltered, raw, unpasteurized sake, about 1,900 yen, Otsuka Sake Brewery, Honmachi, Tokyo.
The sake we opened today is Asakayousei from Shiga Prefecture 😀.
I have no memory of how this sake came to our house 🤣.
It was sitting in our fridge without my knowledge 😅.
I think I probably bought it at some store where it was recommended to me, but I don't know where... I'm sure bouken-san would know where he bought it from or even the store 😀.
It said be careful when opening the bottle.
I opened the bottle carefully, but it still blew out a little and the contents were automatically stirred 🤣.
The aroma and taste are both moderately fruity and slightly pungent with a nice accent 😀.
The alcohol content is 13%, but it was a solid and tasty sake that didn't feel low-alcohol at all 😀.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Fouche, I was curious about it because Hata Liquor Store carries it 🤔.
After all I haven't had it yet, but it sounds delicious 🤤.
Good evening, Yasube-san.
Aladdin-san is right about Hata-san, but I can't rule out the possibility of Inagoya liquor store in Senri New Town 🤔It's a liquor store specializing in Asakayo and Matsumidori (and recently Sanzen Sakura as well) 😆.
Hello Yasube, 🐦.
Thank you for the Otsu sake😊I don't see much outside of Shiga, so from your commentary, you are indeed a hata! And 😆👍
I also had another Jun Dai from Mizukagami that was delicious and tasted like white wine ❣️
Good evening, Yasube, 🌛You are right, the Hata Sake Shop is very concentrated, but I imagined that maybe it is a refrigerator that automatically increases the amount of sake 🤣.
Hi Aladdin 😀.
Thank you 🙇.
It sure looks like the possibility of Hata-san is crazy high in our house 🤣.
I visit every week to try to remember his face for Shinshu Kamerei and buy the owner's recommendation every time 😅.
Hello bouken 😀
Thank you for taking the trouble to answer my summons 🙇.
I thought maybe Hata's because I didn't walk in front of the locust store and didn't go inside 🤣.
I go to Hata's every week and I don't remember seeing them 😅.
Hi Pon-chan 😀
At first I thought it was a bottle that Kaorin bought as a souvenir from her business trip to Okayama because I didn't remember seeing it, but I was surprised to see that the bottle said it was from Shiga Prefecture🤣.
But I was surprised to see that the bottle said it was from Shiga Prefecture 🤣 But I'm satisfied because it's a delicious sake 😀.
Hi Nemuchi 😀
Indeed, when I first saw this bottle in the fridge, I wondered where it was spawned from🤣.
I think it's probably Hata based on your information, but I would love to have a fridge that can automatically produce such a delicious drink😇.

Frog blue Asajinou

(The color is clear. The mouthfeel is smooth, but at the same time the umami of the rice comes through quickly.
It also has a long aftertaste. It is an easy-drinking sake, but the slightly high alcohol content (17ºC) may make it unsuitable for sake beginners. For those who love sake
Recommended Shiga Sake
I got this sake at an antenna store in Shiga. The grapefruit-like acidity and bitterness was so summery that I quickly emptied it out. The cover was cool too, and it was Junmai Dry Taste!
One cup with Oda Nobunaga label
(I guessed it was Nobunaga from the way he is drinking sake while wearing only his kimono and standing on a gourd.)
Oda in Omi? No way, is it Akechi?
But personally, I like Nagamasa Asai.
There are many other splendid members such as Hashiba of Nagahama, Ii of Hikone, Akechi of Sakamoto, Ishida of Sawayama, and so on.
Omi Province is amazing!
I ran out of sake in the fridge 🙀🙀.
So I bought some at the local supermarket.
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 15.5
Mild aroma
The sweetness and umami taste is typical of sake, but the acidity makes it easy to drink.
The spiciness comes at the end to tighten the taste.
When served with yuzu-flavored grilled mackerel sushi, it has a strong flavor on its own, but it is easy to drink while still tasting the rice.
I felt the taste was refreshing!
It is good during a meal!
Hi Pon, hello here too ☀☀☀.
[I thought it was "asabu nama" but it's "asabu wo", which I don't think I can read at first glance💦.
This kind of size is very useful when you want to drink a little 😁.
Good evening, Pon. 😊
My refrigerator is out of stock 😫 story.
I often do that, but you too, Pon-chan? 😍.
I was under the impression that there was an infinite amount of stock
I had an image of it. (I was imagining it to be endless like Tsubu's 😫.
Thank you so much for your time here, Hanapin 😊.
We have a limit of 4 bottles so I always keep a small one for insurance but nothing is available 😂I enjoy going to buy them but I want to reduce the frequency considering the transportation cost and I want a fridge💦.
Good morning, Pon 😃.
No Sake in the fridge 😱It's more spine-chilling than any horror movie 👻🥶It's good for the hot summer ☀️ 😆 A cup of sake will warm up your cold body 😆 ☺️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
I usually find a small one somewhere, but this day I didn't have any 🙀🤣 I was in a hurry.
It's fun to go buy the next one 😊🎶 when it's so empty.
Good evening, Takubon-san 🦉.
I've never heard of "flehma" 😳I'm going to use it from now on😊.
I looked in the fridge for something cold to drink right away, but all I could find were asakayas 💦There are a lot of asakayas in Otsu...
Hi, Pon-chan😄
I'm longing for the pleasure of going out to buy alcohol 🙀🥲, but I've learned the pleasure of going out to drink 😮💨 because it's like having Dora all to myself 🤭🤭 I want to drink Repulse Kayo!
Hi, Tsubu 🐦.
I guess it seems like a luxury but it's a sincere wish 😿Yeah, I agree! We need to vent with drinking and events👍At least you can choose to drink at the destination... I guess this will be difficult too 😅.
