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!
type of sake brewed by low temperature fermentation from white rice milled to 60%

It's been a while since I've had Dewa Sanzan. I thought it might be a little too refreshing, but when I paired it with today's dinner of avocado salmon... it went really well.
Kikuyu Gin-fu Junmai-shu (Rainfall Daisen Junmai-shu)
The aroma is reminiscent of lychee 😚.
The mouthfeel was subdued and refreshing, but a rather strong sweet acidity started to emerge in the middle! (I still think it has a lychee feel to it?) ☺️
The label looks like it could be sold at a roadside station or something (???). The label looks like something you'd find at a roadside station, but the flavor is more modern! I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not 🥰.
Tonight, after a long absence, here 💁 of Kanagawa sake.
Kikuyu Gin-fuji no Amezan Oyama 2023BY☔️
It's been a long time since I've had Dewa Sanzan sake.
The aroma is pleasantly fresh with grape🍇 and lime🍋🟩. The taste is characterized by sourness and bitterness, and the greefiness is very refreshing and easy to drink 😋😋😋😋.
I came to Onsen boldly because Monday is my substitute holiday♨️I decided to stay in Kamakura, thinking of having fun while visiting temples and shrines🤔.
As a history buff, I wanted to stay at Iwamotoro at least once. I had been working hard since April, so I was excited to treat myself.
The inside of the building is getting old, but I'm sure there are people who like this kind of thing.
Now, the accompanying sake was Kikuyu from Yoshikawa Brewery. I brought it from home😅It's quite sweet, but unlike Ameyu, it has a habit of tasting like apricot wine. The bold food was a wonderful accompaniment.
The sea in the photo is the view from the room. Fuji if the weather is clear🗻The cave bath and reference room are the highlight. It is said that the cave bath was originally a prison where children who worked as servants were locked up as punishment when they misbehaved.
Hi ellie 😃
I'm so glad you went to Kamakura🤗We stayed in Enoshima with our family probably more than 20 years ago😅Enjoy the hot spring ♨️ and the gorgeous inn food with sake🍶 to keep your spirits up ‼️
Hi Jay & Novi😃
I see you have stayed in Enoshima!
It was a raw stormy day and the seascape was very rough 💧.
I would have loved to stay there at least once 💪.
Kikuyu was like a fusion of avant-garde rainfall and good old sake 🧐.
