I bought it because Mr. Hattori of Hattori Culinary School recommended Gekkeikan Kamisen on Youtube,
I ended up drinking a lot of different kinds, but I thought it was delicious and good enough for me.
It is light, sweet, and goes down easy.
I would buy it again,
4/5 stars
The basic Gekkeikan
Mild aroma, slightly sweet and light with a delicious flavor...a little sourness in the second half keeps the cup going.
This is the only Gekkeikan in the same price range from a major sake brewer that does not contain any added acidifiers or sugars.
It is a sake that complements food and can be enjoyed at temperatures ranging from cold to hot.
Personally, I feel the balance of mildness and freshness is best at room temperature.
This quality is amazing! ^ ^
It's a definite room temperature sake 👍.
Famima Limited Sake
You can drink it like a juice.
but you can still taste the rice flavor.
Because it is sold at convenience stores
It is a bottle that can be drunk casually.
This is a souvenir from my wife's trip to Kyoto.
My wife, who does not drink sake, selected this bottle...or rather, she talked with a Gekkeikan staff member who was in the store and bought it for her.
We have two bottles of Gekkeikan, so we will get the other one separately...
This is the first time for me to drink Gekkeikan sake seriously.
It is delicious, as I expected from one of the three major sake breweries.
I feel like my range has broadened.
The mellowness and depth of flavor are well apparent in this sake.
It is delicious!
Good evening Tarou 😃.
It's nice to know that you got a gift of sake that you wouldn't normally buy for yourself 😊Maybe it's your wife's choice since she doesn't normally drink 🤗.
It looks like a solid bottle of deliciousness! It will expand your world 😚.
Jay & Nobby.
Sorry I didn't notice your comment.
It is true, if I had gone to Kyoto myself, I would have bought a different line of sake, so it was a good experience.
I guess it's a matter of trying things out and not making preconceived notions. Thanks to my wife!
It tastes like sake, but is easy to drink and refreshing. It is a good sake for a mealtime drink.
I had it cold.
It is also good to drink it on a trip with a cup.
In Sapporo, I stayed at a hotel after enjoying a research activity in Susukino 😍 I stopped by a convenience store to buy a cup of tea.
I stopped by a convenience store to buy some tea and found the much talked about drink ❗
As you said, it's like a thin yogurt or a sports drink 🎵.
I think it would be good to drink it during halftime of a soccer game 😁.
Good evening to you too, Mr. Noodle King 🌛.
You all seem to think highly of "Argo" 😁.
I have a four-pack of it, so let's cool it down and rehydrate for the game 🤣.
Ace, good evening 😃.
Half time is overkill 😜.
I happened to buy it, but I don't see it in convenience stores very often ❗ Is it becoming a popular product 🤔?
Good evening, Noodle Drink King 🦉.
You've had it 😁👍I really could drink it at half time 🤣If I kept it in my drink bottle without telling you, you'd drink it without even knowing it 😆.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
It's really true 😁 I saw some No. 4 bottles today and I want to put them in my drink bottles 😜.
It might unexpectedly improve the quality of play 😅.
Tonight's meal accompaniment is Gekkeikan's Special Free, a sugar-free, dry, daiginjo-style sake-tasting beverage. p
It's kind of light and light apple juice flavor.
Is this kind of thing good sometimes?
I saw it in the supermarket and bought it.
It was a thinner, less sweetened version of Calpis.
It has the same alcohol content as beer? It is so easy to drink like a juice.
It is a sake that even people who don't drink sake can enjoy.
To Fushimi Inari
I went quite early in the morning.
Even so, there were quite a lot of people!
It's a very popular place!
I bought a bottle of oshinzake (sacred sake) there.
It was expensive (500 yen), but the flint injects power into your body!
I thought I was going to win the horse race, but it turned out to be a miserable failure!
It didn't work at all!
It tastes like a regular Gekkeikan Kamisen!
It's chemical and refreshing!
And then there's Fushimi Momoyama Castle!
And I liked Chouenji Temple, a place in Yodo associated with the Shinsengumi!
When I was a student, I couldn't understand what was going on, but now my intelligence is better enough to feel sorry for the Shinsengumi who were killed.
I went to a high school where the only students who read books such as "Yanmaga" instead of textbooks were in class, so I spent a lot of time in the arcade when we went to Fushimi Momoyama for excursions.
But even today, I mainly drink, so it's no different now.
Good evening, Shinjou-san 🌙
Fushimi Inari, Gekkeikan ...... Hiroyuki Sanada, Safety Zone.... I am a middle-aged man so I had to comment. Sorry 🙇♂️
I too admired the sight of the Senbon-torii ⛩️ and remember visiting it long ago😊.
Good evening (´¦)!
I feel happy because I love Safety Zone!
I didn't feel like going there because it's so delicately close to me, and I finally made it!
It's so crowded now that there are fewer Japanese than me, so I'm glad I used to go there in the past.
This is a very fruity, raw daiginjo-shu that is typical of Gekkeikan. It is fruity, but not too sweet, and has a Fushimi sake-like character, so it goes well with snacks. This time I prepared grilled yellowtail with salt and home-made pickled cucumber 🥒, but it would also go well with grilled Kyoto vegetables and pickled vegetables 😉👍.
At home, my mother and I compared Gekkeikan's Yamada Nishiki and Drunken Whale!
The Yamada-Nishiki is aromatic and fruity, and is really easy to drink - it has a strong sake-like taste, but it's gorgeous and the flavor lingers on the tongue!
We had it with plum crystals, prosciutto ham, and blue cheese 🙏.
