After a trip to Kanagawa and a search on Google Maps for a liquor store where I could stop by on my way back to Enoshima, I found this liquor store, Darumaya Sake Shop.
We were in a hurry to get back to Niigata to avoid the traffic jam, and we made our way through an intricate, narrow residential area to get there.
I ran in and asked for some sake from Kanagawa! I said, "We don't have any," but they offered me this one, Kikuyu.
The elegant chrysanthemum with a touch of Western-style painting and strong brush strokes on the chrysanthemum is a perfect example of Kikuyu.
The name is not "Kiku Isami" but "Kiku Yuu.
Kiku Isami is a Yamagata brand. Recently, Wani Isami (original name Takai Isami) has appeared in a Conan movie, so it is read as Isami.

Since it has a strong sake flavor, I was able to drink quite a bit from a cup full of sake.
I didn't like the aftertaste, so I drank it with mandarin orange sake.
Let's match Takachiyo with something else!
Kikuyu is a different brand of Amefall, isn't it?

It is possible that this is not the usual flavor, and that it has been twisted, but it was in the refrigerator at Yodobashi Camera Sake Shop, so I would like to think that it was not a storage failure.
But if this is a normal fire-aged Junmai sake, it is a very hard and interesting sake.
