Purchased at a convenience store in Ako.
It tastes more like a classic, but it is very well-balanced with a hint of sourness and sweetness.
I would like to drink it again.
Continued from yesterday😊
There were a good number of sake brands on the menu, but Banshu Issen was in the fridge in front of me!
Probably my first sake 🍶.
The label says it smells like LaFrance, and that's exactly what it is!
I honestly didn't feel the gasiness that much, but it was a very tasty sake, sweet and refreshing: ❤️
Ah, summer. ☀️
I can hear the drums of the Bon Odori dance ✨
And drinking summer sake🍶🥰.
Delightful and delicious ori dance 💕
Well balanced and easy to drink too 😋.
I feel like drinking nigori 🍶 today ❤️
Good evening, Mr. Muro 🌙
I got this last year! It's delicious 😍.
In the early evening, when it's still light out, we finish our bath early and relax with delicious drinks and snacks...it's one of the best parts of summer 🥳.
I was quiet all day today and ended up drinking from noon in the name of organizing the fridge 😓.
I've been wanting to drink Banshu Ikken since I went to Hyogo in June! When I saw the Aizan label, I had no choice but to drink it😍.
I bought it at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station on my way back from eating dried ramen at the famous Aomori ramen store Tsugaru Niboshi Hirako-ya's reopening on Tokyo Station's ramen street ✨.
It has an aroma of rice and fresh fruity aroma, a gentle mouthfeel, and a slight fizzy gas. It finishes with a light sweet flavor and sharp acidity and bitterness. It has a light but slightly dry impression. It was a refreshing sake👍.
I think I will abstain from drinking tomorrow.
Good evening, ichiro18😄.
I want to visit Ramen Street 🤩I want to try Rokurinsha's Tsukemen 🍜I'm sure there's a line 😅I thought Banshu Issen's Aisan was sweet, but they have spicy too😆.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Rokurinsha is crowded at Tokyo station, so Osaki and Ueno might be somewhat more relaxed. I waited 35 minutes at Hirako-ya ✨I thought Aizan was sweeter, but it has a spicy taste 🤔 I'll see how it goes after some time.
Good morning, ichiro18!
I've never been to Ramen Street, but I did a ramen tour on a trip to Tokyo when I was into ramen 😁.
I'll have to try Banshu Isshu Ikken sometime for a leisurely drink at home 😋.
No drinking 😅
Hi ma-ki-😃
I see you have been on a ramen tour in Tokyo👍There are so many different kinds of ramen, you must be addicted! I would love to try Kirimen in Osaka. The main store seems to have moved 😅I'm off the booze today 😁.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I know you have a sweet image of Aizan. I had an image of sweet and sour, but I'm not sure what Aizan tastes like because it depends on the brewery that makes it 🤣 please give it a try 🍶.
