Timeline
ねむちIkoma City, Nara Prefecture. Kikuji Sake Brewery Co.
Kikuji Junmai Nigori Sake Shiboritate
Today's nigori is also nigori. It is active nigori purchased at the brewery. The four-pack bottle had a stopper with a hole in it, so I bought a three-pack bottle that did not have a hole.
We drink it cold.
The bottle was opened after 5 minutes of repeated opening and closing.
The bottle is vigorously active, so it is automatically stirred.
The color is pure white and solid white.
The top aroma is grain-like and slightly green apple-like.
On the palate, the bubbling sensation that pops vigorously stimulates the tongue.
It has a silky, bubbly feeling with a hint of koji aroma, a delicious taste of rice, and a bit of sourness, and the aftertaste changes to spiciness.
It has a clear and refreshing taste without much sweetness, and the high alcohol content gives it a bit of a punch.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 19 to 20 degrees Celsius ねむちSake Brewery Walk, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture
Kikuji Sake Brewery
Ouma Junmai Ornithine Yeast Brewing
The strong acidity and astringent umami are probably derived from ornithine. If ornithine is contained in sake, can we drink it indefinitely?
Oba Junmai Junmai Taishi Yume Yeast Brewing
The color is the most clearly yellow, with sourness and deep umami. It has a slightly astringent taste that lingers on the tongue.
Oubama Junmai Yamanokami Yeast
The most refreshing acidity.
Kikushi Junmai Ginjo
Slightly rich sweetness and umami, with a refreshingly sour aftertaste.
Kuradashi Junmai-shu: To be respected with harmony.
The label is not as gentle as it seems, but the alcohol content is between 19 and 20 degrees Celsius.
The impression I got from drinking it was that it was a local sake with a lot of dryness, and in a good way, it was like a country sake. I also read on the Internet that it is a brewery of dry sake.
There is "Kiku no Tsukasa" in Iwate Prefecture, "Tsukiku" in Tokushima Prefecture, and "Kiku Tsukasa" in Nara Prefecture. I'm sure that would be on the test. boukenGood evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
I was curious about Kikuji, but I drank it at the Bodhi Hashi festival and felt it was the spiciest 🤔 That's the bottleneck for me.
I always wonder which one is Shikiku or Kikuji? I'm always wondering which is which 🤣. ねむちGood morning, bouken-san ☀My favorite was Kikuji Junmai Ginjo, but since Shiboritate was available, I bought Nigori Sake and Shiboritate 🍶 It was more dry, but there were many refreshingly dry ones too 😋. ねむちSake Brewery Walk, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture
Kikuji Sake Brewery
Kikuji Brewery is located about a 4-minute walk from Minami Ikoma Station in Nara Prefecture, and brews the brands "Ikoma" and "Kikuji".
We were not able to see inside the brewery, but at the sales counter, tastings were free of charge, and visitors could take out the sake from the refrigerated case and pour it by themselves, as well as taste free Nara-zuke pickles.
Kikuji Kuragari Koshi Junmai-shu Nama-nara-shu
The aroma is slightly fresh and sweet, and the mouthfeel is smooth and smooth. It has a fresh sweet aroma and a smooth mouthfeel, with a firm umami, a slight sweetness, a little spiciness, and a classic feel. I forgot to take a picture, but I bought it.
Shiboritate Junmai Nigori Nama Sake
It has a creamy, full-bodied, umami sweetness with a slightly spicy, bitter aftertaste that is a bit classical.
Sakeya Tohei Junmai Daiginjo
Clear and refreshing, with a slightly strong acidity.
Ouma Junmai Daiginjo
Slightly acidic, slightly bitter, slightly dry.
Kikushi Bodai Hashiro Junmai
Contrary to the image from the sweet malted rice smell, it has a sharp impression with clear acidity. The acidity lingers in the aftertaste.
Too much tasting, so I will continue. boukenWe moved to the tasting room.
We greeted Usagigoten and Hirupeko who were at the venue.
And we were able to meet Yasubeyesan and Kaorin, whom we met for the first time.
Bodai Hashiro sake tasting set. 30ml of 7 kinds of sake, 500 yen with Narazuke (Japanese pickles).
It seems they charge a fee like the Bodai Sen tasting.
The first one I drank was the first Kikuji.
I guess you can buy it in Nara, but is it mainly sold directly? I've only seen it at Masuda Shoten in Sennichimae 🤔.
According to the information that came up in a Sake-no-wa search, the label on the back says it is unfiltered and tank squeezed.
I drank it first because it was said to be the driest, but it was too light and not enough?
It's too clean, or it doesn't have umami.
I think it is too clean for being unfiltered.
If I had liked it, I would have bought it 😅.
Hirupeko-san said this sake smells like a beaker of softened water 😁 accurate description😊.
The 4th picture is the soyashimizu in the beaker. まつちよGood evening bouken🍶.
Sounds like a fun offline meeting 😊.
I thought about Shorekiji Temple when I traveled to Nara, but decided not to because there is nothing there in autumn.
Perhaps you are now going to Ekimaenomise in Gotodo? boukenGood evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo😃.
The temple has a secluded atmosphere and is not a tourist attraction 🤔 I would have liked to go sightseeing in Nara, but I had already made plans to go to Kyoto after Shorekiji 😅. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, bouken😃!
Kansai group is really active and friendly 🤗and eventful! and noobie😄
You all have a great sense of smell to find 👍. ヤスベェbouken . Hello 😀
Thank you for finding me and Orin safely 🙇.
That drinking set was a great deal 😀.
Even Kaorin who said she didn't need two sets drank them all! boukenGood evening Jay & Nobby😃.
We were late to the party, but the friendliness and activity of the group is second to none in the country 😁 Everyone shares information about various events, but especially Nemuchi's research skills are amazing 😳. boukenGood evening, Mr. Yasbay 😃.
I was able to call on you in advance because you told me in advance what you were wearing in your pictures 😊.
If it had been anywhere else, I would have been charged about 1,000 yen 😅. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
