2022.3.5 Purchased at a liquor store in Nakama City
I asked for a sake that was fire-aged and could be stored at room temperature, and was introduced to this sake.
(Just after opening)
Although stored at room temperature and not chilled at all, the aroma has a faintly sake-like smell and is slightly fruity.
Color: just a very slight yellow tint? about the same as
In the mouth, it has a distinctive, distinct taste with a slight bitterness, slightly fishy depending on how you look at it.
Mellow cheese-like taste, slight bitterness with a smoke-like impression.
The aftertaste is clean and does not linger.
Suitable for eating with food, as the label on the back says.
When I was out of snacks and had some garlic-melted chicken tataki sauce as a side dish, every time I drank this sake, my mouth was refreshed!
I like it better than sake that is too sweet for my taste, and I expect it to change when I drink it chilled in the future.
Although the expression sounds unappetizing, it is not bad by any means, but rather delicious, and it is only a characteristic taste!
(3 days after opening)
When chilled in the vegetable compartment, it became very fruity and the bitterness weakened, but the aftertaste remained refreshing, making it perfect for a mealtime drink.
It's a race against time!
For the last sake of the night, the master brought us a sake from Ehime!
The blue label looks great!
We drank it in a cup!
He put it in a 2-gallon bottle and we all drank it together!
It's a citrusy 🍊 reminiscent of the citrus fruits of Ehime!
It was like having 4 cups of 4 different kinds of sake, but now I can finally enjoy drinking it with my friends!
I'll be sure to take precautions against infection!
Let's come again!
There is a rumor that the sake will arrive in a little while!
knowledge
The aroma is gentle and elegantly citrusy, with a clean mouthfeel, but a juicy sweetness supported by refreshing acidity that spreads and makes you smile. After two years of aging, it has developed into a soft, rich and delicious sake that retains its cute nuances. Enjoy it cold for a light taste, or room temperature or lukewarm for a nice weight.
I found this sake from Ehime at my favorite liquor store.
I bought it because I thought the etiquette was perfect for the current season, but it was an unexpected discovery.
As the name "Engetsu" suggests, the rich aroma and taste of the rice is just like a round moon.
The taste is even better than I expected and I'm trying to sell it to my neighbor's wife to try 😂😂.
So many things to do.
Celebrating the victory of the nation!
Finally!
It's hard to find sake from Ehime
I've never been able to find it.
It's so squishy.
It's not like sake
It's more like champagne!
The wonder of sake...
This sake is from Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture
My mother's birthplace is
Saijo town in Higashihiroshima city
It is a place of sake
Both are Saijo
A little familiarity😊.
Today is my daughter's
birthday🎂
Double anniversary with the national championship💕.
Good evening 😄.
Double congratulations🎉.
I've seen Ehime Ikkai in stores, but I've never had it!
I think the only sake from Shikoku is from Kochi and Tokushima.

Congratulations on your birthday and conquering the whole country🎉!
It's good to have sizzling sake too👍.
I'm aiming to conquer the whole country by the end of the year, but I'm not sure if I can 😓
💠💠
Good evening, Mr. Tsuyodai😊.
Thank you so much.
I also have a hard time finding sake from Shikoku.
I've never had a chance to try it.
I think I'll buy it when I meet it.
Good evening, Mimmin! 😄
Double congratulations to your daughter on her birthday & winning the whole country... 🎉️Ehime is my birthplace, so I was kind of happy 😆.
Good evening, Mr. 💠 Min Min 💠!
Congratulations on your nationwide victory and your daughter's birthday 🎉✨!
Ehime Ikkai is a sake with a name that sounds like it could mean your daughter's birthday🥰
Please excuse my comment. I've taken the liberty of following you.
Congrats on your nationwide conquest and your daughter's birthday!
It's hard to do 47 prefectures, naturally, because of the bias in taste that comes with it - I'll do my best lol!
Mimmi, excuse me 😅
Conquering the whole country🎉Big day for your daughter🎉Big day for your daughter🎉Big day for your daughter
I've been trying to conquer the whole country too...
I'm so close 😅😅.
The taste of the rice and the fruity taste can be felt, but it is not too dense. A pleasant sourness. There is also a feeling of juicy melon. The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui.
This is the first time I drink Ehime sake.
It's a cup of sake because I've been taking it off and on lately.
It has a faint ginjo aroma, but it is very dry.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness of the ginjo comes unexpectedly, and at the same time the spiciness comes. It is the first time to feel sweet or spicy.
The aftertaste is also a little long.
It seems to go well with fatty fish.
This is a comparison of "Ehime Ikkai". It is calmer than the unfiltered sake we had earlier, probably because it was aged for a year after it was burned. But the taste is similar to this one. It's a very elegant and sweet taste.
But the aroma and the complexity of this sake is less than that of unfiltered syochu liqueur.
Sadako Maki from "Arrietty the Borrower", which is the same as unfiltered raw sake in Ghibli. She is the great aunt of the protagonist, Sho. It doesn't look as complicated as it did earlier, so here's the scene at the beginning of the film where she's driving a Mercedes. The charm hasn't been shown yet.
Satisfaction: ★★★★ .

Complex, elegant and sweet.
The mouthfeel comes in smoothly, sweet with honey, melon and pear. Then there's a discreet, raw liquor-like bitterness. It's very complex, yet not overpowering, with an elegant sweetness. There's also a lot of hints that go on the nose. It's insanely delicious.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Sadako Maki of "Arrietty the Borrower". She is the great aunt of the protagonist, Sho. She is rich and elegant. She is a wonderful grandmother who has kept her admiration for dwarfs.
