Tonight, our first series, Kikuyu by Yoshikawa Brewery from Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is 100% Dewa Sanzu, Junmai Nama-no-Hajime made with Kyoukai No. 6 yeast. It has a ginjo aroma between cucumber and pear, and the first sip is clear with a full sweetness, but later on, a strong bitterness and alcohol taste follows, making it dry and smooth.

Tonight, we decided to open a new sake once in a while, so we had this one from the Yoshikawa Sake Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. Junmai Nigori Sake - Luxurious Aragoshi ✨✨✨✨. The sake seems to have been bottled after the new sake unrefined sake has been roughly fermented 😄. The aroma has a hint of pear and apple. When you take a sip, you can feel the gasiness and acidity, but it is juicy and delicious 😋😋😋😋 When you mix the lees, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and the creaminess increases, which is also delicious 😋😋. This was definitely one to repeat 🤗

A bottle I bought on my first visit at the beginning of the year. It has been a long time since I have had a bottle with a dry, Han-like taste. It has a strong alcohol taste. If you warm it too much, the strength will increase, It is best to warm it up to lukewarm to get the right roundness. It was cold, so we had it with oden.

It has a bright yellow color and a savory, aged-like aroma that makes the heated sake enthusiast want to test its potential. Manufactured in March 2024. 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. In any case, I'd like to try the "Amezure" brand again. The inland areas of Kanagawa Prefecture that are not on the sea side, such as Atsugi, Isehara, Hiratsuka, and Hadano, are known as "Amezureyama," or Mt. The scenery of Atsugi, Isehara, Hiratsuka, and Hadano, where Mt. I can see it from the window of the Tokaido Shinkansen. I was a citizen of Atsugi and Kanagawa Prefecture for about a year, and I have climbed Mt. Daisen several times without using the cable car, passing Daisenji Temple and Aburi Shrine on the way to Okusha (summit), and it is the pride of that area. I have also known the Ebisu ramen restaurant, "AFURI", since its opening. I think that's why Mt.

I came across this sake on a sake brewery tour in Kanagawa. I bought it after asking the store owner for a recommendation to warm it up. But I finished it before warming it up. Classic taste. It has a firm umami, sweetness, fruity, and sharpness. It is delicious.

Mellow and dry. The texture is firm on the tongue. Pale yellowish green with a slight nigori (cloudiness). The aroma is that of a junmai sake! Aroma: This is Junmai sake! After the strong acidity, there is a solid sweetness. Not much astringency. The aftertaste is not sharp. Alcohol 18%. It is a solid junmai sake, but not too sweet with acidity, and relatively easy to drink. However, if you enjoy it and drink it in gulps, you will soon get drunk because of the high alcohol content 😭.

This is my fourth drink of the day, but I drank it at room temperature with a solid sake, as I had a small amount earlier. I thought about heating it up halfway through, but then I realized I was drinking it all up~! It has a rich, mellow, sweet taste. Firm texture on the tongue. The color is light yellowish green. It has a strong fruity aroma, as it is made from gin. It has a rather firm sweetness, but the sourness comes soon. There is a sharp acidity in the aftertaste. Polishing ratio 65%, alcohol 16%. Yamagata Prefecture, Izuwasan 100%. It is not a traditional Junmai-shu, but a modern Junmai-shu with a refined flavor and more gorgeousness due to the Gin-brewing process. Even when drunk at room temperature, it has just the right amount of aroma and umami, with a slight acidity to keep you from getting tired of drinking it. Yoshikawa-san's water is medium-hard, which gives the sake a robust flavor, but it also makes the most of this flavor to create a very tasty, umakuchi type sake. The background of the label depicts the brewery's hometown, Mt. Daisen, which has long been revered as a sacred mountain, especially during the Edo period (1603-1868) when it was worshipped as the god of water, and people made pilgrimages to Mt. The mountain was also known locally as "Mount Afuriyama," which is also used on the label of this sake.

Kikuyu was drunk at Odawara Kamaboko Dori Vitalization Council [Autumn Sake Ajiwai Tour - Junmai Sake from all 13 breweries]. I sometimes drink Ameyu, but this is the first time for me to drink Kikuyu. It was quite fruity and delicious. Is it a gin brewed sake? I wonder if there is a reason for the fruity aroma despite the fact that it is junmai?

Mellow, sweet, mellow sake. Ripe and fruity aroma like dried fruits. A very rich sweetness coats the tongue, but there is also a good amount of acidity and astringency, which adds depth to the flavor. The aftertaste is slightly alcoholic. This sake won a gold medal at the IWC in the UK. The last sake of the day was Kikuyu by Yoshikawa-san, who likes gentle sweetness. After the extremely dry Black Imadaiji, so it settles down~. The umami and sweetness of the rice is gentle, and the taste is hot and comforting to a tired body. However, it may be a little sweet for some people!
