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.
It is a golden color,
Clear and fruity apple aroma,

It has a complex flavor, and is a perfect match with food and drinks,

I would like to have a chance to try it again, as I don't have a sake lid from Kanagawa yet.
The bearded man stadium line was great.

It is thick. When you put it in your mouth, it is easy to drink with little aroma, but as it goes down your throat, the sake-like aroma and the heat peculiar to alcohol appear.
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 was a very sharp sake 🍶.
