Purchased because of the name, this is my companion for tonight. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is subdued. The smell of alcohol is strong on the nose, but there is also a hint of sweetness. In the mouth, it has a strong flavor as a pure sake. The sweetness is followed by a hint of melon, and finally a strong bitterness
A strong bitterness lingers in the mouth. The katsuo dashi ponzu vinegar with soaked kintoki grass rounds out the bitterness of the sake and is delicious! It also goes quite well with the garland chrysanthemum/persimmon/blue cheese/cured ham/balsamic dressing! The Chicken Chicken Sasami Shrimp Chili Style is also available, with the sweetness of the dish turning the sake into a neat and dry one.
The bitterness seemed bitter at first, but it was an enjoyable sake that went well with the dish!
The last of the sake offerings... local Tochigi sake
My son's favorite "Sagata
And my favorite "Yamatanosugata" 🍶.
Sake brewed with 8 kinds of sake rice!
The soft mouthfeel and concentrated
The umami is concentrated from the soft mouthfeel...
You can feel various flavors one after another.
And yet, it is well balanced.
It's quite rich!
In celebration of her 70th birthday, Dora-chan
Dora gave it to us with her own money.
My son took all the leftover sake home with him 😄.
Oh, and he drank all the Katsuma 😚.
I haven't had a drink since that day...
It's been two weeks since my mother passed away... (it's so early)
I'm still full of tears...
I think I will drink tonight... 😌.
Good evening, kan😄.
Thank you for your concern 🙏.
Yes, "Why are you crying so much?" I can almost hear my mother's voice 💦.
I drank tonight for the first time in a long time 😚.
While crying 🤣
Thanks, Muro: ☺️
I did drink tonight 🍶.
I'm still in tears, but I'm ready to drink 😉.
We're having a lot of that thing... and Mr. Muro is drinking his favorite thing: ❣️
Thank you, chika, and thank you here: ☺️
Yes, I know! I can see it in your heart... and in your face too 🤣 that makes me cry too 😅.
I'm ready to drink even though I'm crying, so...
Please keep up the good work!
First appearance of the year: ‼️
It has a fruity feel that is not like Gohyakumangoku 🍈.
The lingering taste is slightly bitter for a long time 🍈.
I don't remember last year's finish at all... 😅
Super Limited Edition Sugata
Perhaps because it is a blend of seven different sake rice varieties
Super rich!
It also has a sweetness that makes it delicious on the rocks!
This time, I drank it with a hot pot of sesame paste with sweetened sauce.
4.4/5.0
As usual, the sweet aroma and mouthfeel are typical of the figure, and the taste is rich. From here, it has a slightly bitter and mature taste.
The snack was dumplings, but I would recommend something nutty.
Early Year's Eve Party 🍾 Part 2 🍾.
It says Hokkaido, but isn't the brewery in Tochigi?
The sake rice is from Hokkaido though...
It was sweet and robust and better than I expected ✨.
I found a rare sight 💡.
But this aroma is a bit?
The first impression I had, and even afterwards as I drank more and more, it didn't change
I wonder what it is?
The taste is good, but
It's strange.
I wonder if this is how Aikoku is like.
Let's compare it again when we drink other Aikoku!
knowledge of what it tastes like
Alcohol content 17.5
Rice used: 100% Aikoku No. 3 from Tochigi Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 55

Reading the back of the bottle, it appears to be a blend of numerous rice-based sakes 🤔.
The look of it reminded me of something I remember seeing before and decided to buy it out of nostalgia 😆.
The alcohol content is slightly high at 17 degrees.
At first you can smell the aroma of unrefined sake.
Sweetness is peach🍑, melon🍈, banana🍌 or so 🤔.
It is complex.
The mouthfeel is elegant and mellow 🌺.
The thick sweetness remains after drinking 😊.
I thought I saw him somewhere, but it was that guy I saw on my trip to Aizu 😆.
The red🔴 and blue🔵 were reversed though 😇
Ane, good evening 😃.
Aside from being drinkable like water, it was sweeter and easier to drink than I thought it would be 😆 I'm blown away when I drink 17 degrees with a hiccup😇.
Good evening, Mr. Pekkaal 😃.
Yes, we are! It's one of ours 🎵Please buy it if you find it 😆.
I'm selfishly hoping that next time you'll bring out the guitar bottle 🎸 Sugata 😆.
But I can't get rid of the Jirola bells either... 😇
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Figures, you make a good balance in your blends. It's quintessential.
It's very Showa, but when I say half red and half blue, the first thing I say is Kikaider: ‼️
Next is the middle "figure" 🍶.
I was about to reach for it when I suddenly noticed something...
Well, both sides are from Yamaguchi Prefecture!
Tochigi Prefecture is sandwiched by Yamaguchi Prefecture.
I thought they might be narrow, but their black aura and the character for "figure" gives them a sense of dignity that's kind of cool ✨✨.
And then I thought of something stupid... I'll have it while thinking that I'm an idiot 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The aroma is a little subdued, but it also has a melon-like floral flavor.
The soft texture gives it a gentle sweetness and umami while the well-balanced acidity is still delicious 😋.
I have the impression that it is slightly sweeter than the previous "Ganki" 🍶.
I drank it all up in no time while eating fried gizzards, so let's move on to the next one: ☺️
Hi Joker 😃
I'm not afraid of Tochigi sake 🍶, it's a world-class 🪽 Tochigi sake 🤗, there's nothing to be afraid of: ‼️
It's a great sake that looks great and you'll be drinking it in no time 😙.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Tochigi certainly has a lot of great sake like Senkou and Houou Mita✨.
I'd like to drink a variety of Tochigi sake that will be world-class 🥰.
It has a strong pungent taste with a weak acidity and sweetness. It also has a strong flavor, so I would like to match it with thick-flavored simmered dishes and Western cuisine.
