The second glass is Saga's Motomine Tsuru.
This one has a fizzy feeling.
The balance of sweetness and this fizzy feeling is nice. The price is reasonable.
This is a cosy sake.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😆You have a great eye for detail 😍Once you get it, you can't run away from it. Yes, I'm going on a trip to Hirosaki next week. I feel like Toyobai is calling me 😋.
Yamada Nishiki. It is so easy to drink that you may think it is low alcohol despite its 15% alcohol content. It is so easy to drink that you may think it is low alcohol, even though it is 15 degrees Celsius. When it rolls around in the mouth, it is fruity with a nice aftertaste.
Day 2. It is quite good, but it is sweet and tasty. It would be better if it had a sour taste. It goes very well with dashi type rice! The balance is improved. I would like to try it with sashimi. It is a sake that goes well with rice ^_^.
Day 3. I thought I didn't need anything else, but when I paired it with Japanese food, the acidity became even better. This is a sake to be served with meals ^_^.
Bonito in soy sauce on rice. Both the rice and sake are delicious!
Yesterday, I attended the "New Sake Enjoyment Party" held at the Kibotsuru Sake Brewery. It was a fun event with three different types of new sake, which we drank for the entire two hours.
I bought this one, which was my favorite of the three. It was fresh and slightly tangy, with a nice aftertaste. Delicious.
Good evening, Gula!
I was curious about that event 🌳I wasn't sure what it was like and passed it up, but you were able to drink for the entire 2 hours ✨sounds like fun😊I don't buy Kifeng Tsuru very often, but it is delicious 👍️
Good evening, my man 🐤! Many of the visitors were local guys😅but I met a couple and they gave me information about various liquor stores! Ki Mine Tsuru is delicious 🍶 and I like it even more now.
Saga Prefecture First time drinking sake.
It is a low-polished sake with 85% polishing, but it is not too heavy. It has a full rice flavor and acidity reminiscent of grapes.
It has a sharpness and a dignified atmosphere.
I try to buy Kihotsuru whenever I see it.
This year, I will not hesitate to buy even a bottle.
The label of the Japan Famous Sake Association is as cool as ever.
The aroma is ricey and fruity.
It has a slightly sour sweetness. After that, a slight bitterness refreshes the palate.
The impression is that it is all nicely put together.
The drink does not tire you out, so you can gobble it up.
As the day goes by, the bitterness becomes more noticeable, but when it is heated up, the sweetness increases and the bitterness recedes.
I think it's rather good as a heated sake from Kibotsuru.
Good evening, Maru-san.
You drank Ki Mine Tsuru last month too. ⤴️
I have my favorite sake 🎵.
Heated sake is great during the cold season 🍶.
I'm curious about Kihotsuru, so if I come across it, I won't hesitate to get it 😊.
Hi Maru!
I had this one the other day and it was delicious 😋.
I didn't try the heated sake, but I think a bottle of sake is a great way to try different flavors ✨.
I'd like to try another spec this year 🥰.
Hi Jive, ☀️
Kibotsuru was chosen as the first sake of the month, wasn't it? Kifotsuru was also selected as the first sake of the month! Please try various ☺️
Saga is Kibotsuru Junmai. Saga sake is always deeply moving and delicious.
While the "gorgeous" (white wine-like) tastes are on the rise, the surplus of rice has turned into a "Junmai-shu" (pure rice sake) with complex sweetness of rice and acidity.
Saga Prefecture
Calm ORIGIRAMI Nama
Polishing ratio: 50% for Koji rice, 70% for Kake rice
Alcohol 15
Rice: 100% Sagabiyori
The fresh tropical aroma gives a sense of expectation.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a strong umami flavor and a rich sweetness like banana.
The tongue also feels slightly carbonated.
It is very easy to drink, and you can drink it easily.
A good sake.
January Tasting at Ikema Sake Shop (3)
It is Calm's Orikara Nama!
It has a refreshing taste typical of Kibotsuru with a touch of leesiness.
Reasonably priced because it's made with out-of-grade rice 🤗.
I was going to buy this one, but after drinking the Yuyamanishiki, I realized how good it is and didn't buy the calm this time💦.
Echizenmisaki was also very good 😋.
Purchased as a souvenir on a trip to Saga (1)
Sweet, gorgeous, light and smooth,
The aftertaste is a bit heavy with alcohol.
It also has a sour taste and a strong flavor. Delicious.
