I had it cold as a New Year's Day sake on New Year's Day 2025 when I went home to my parents' house.
As a junmai sake, it has a sweet impression on the palate, but it is light and light with a strong umami and acidity. We paired it with scallops, tuna, and salmon sashimi, and it was a good match.
Purchased on Amazon for the 2024-7 New Year's holiday season.
I had high expectations for this sake as it is served at official Nobel Prize events!
The taste is sweet, fruity, and gorgeous, with an easy-drinking quality that has no corners and does not feel too much like alcohol. The taste is sweet, fruity, gorgeous, and easy to drink with snacks.
Fukuju is often sold by tasting at Kobe Hankyu. For some reason, I had never had a chance to taste it before, but since I had to go to the trouble of buying it (what?), I decided to buy it. I bought it.
There is no aroma. First, there was the acidity. Then, the explosive rice flavor gives it a strong sense of being a delicious sake. It is clearly spicy, equivalent to Java Curry Dry Mouth in terms of curry, but there is nothing that makes you feel a strong sensation.
Despite the neat label, it is a sake for the tastes of the experts.
Degree of liking 5/10
Today is New Year's Eve. This is the last sake of the year. So, I would like to introduce this year's Kanji characters.
Kizuna.
Oh, I made a mistake.
[Walking]
I started walking because I drank too much alcohol. I feel more and more that I can drink only when I have good health. Please take care of yourselves, Sake-no-wa brothers and sisters.
I hope you will continue to enjoy drinking delicious sake.
Good evening, Shirotama.
I'm glad you got a connection this year🍀.
Thank you for this year 🙇.
I look forward to working with you again next year😊.
Have a happy new year 🌄.
Good evening, Shirotama 😃.
We, Fukuju, were the first Shinkansen 🚅 drinkers of sake 🤗 and this year's Kanji [stop].
Oh, I made a mistake.
We are also conscious of walking 👍Thank you very much and have a happy new year 😌.
ma-ki-San Happy New Year! Thank you for all the ♥s and comments last year.
I think it is important to have a good relationship with people, whether it is people or alcohol, and I think this is where new encounters begin.
I look forward to working with you again this year.

Thank you for all the ♥s and comments last year.
Last night, I ended the year as a bad person, opening four bottles of sparkling wine, white and red, in addition to sake with my two sons. This year, I'm going to live a moderate sake life!
