We received the plums of abundance! Year of manufacture March 2024!
You've been sleeping for a year.
The moment I opened the bottle, I could smell the sweet aroma!
What is this!
Sweet and fruity apple white peach juice with a clean aftertaste... I fainted...!
I fainted...! I was in heaven with my first Kochi sake!
I almost forgot to give it to you!
It looks like a thick, rich nigori.
It smells like foamed rice.
It's a thick rice juice! (Umai!
It is a royal road doburoku type.
It has sweetness, umami, and the bitterness of alcohol.
It smells a little like rum raisins in the back of the nose.
It's a big bang, but it goes smoothly down your throat, so you want to gobble it down.
It is honestly my favorite.
Taste level 4.5/5
Light turbidity, slight effervescence (subtle)
The ginjo aroma is to my liking, with a sense of softness. Sweetness and indescribable umami.
Needless to say, it is delicious!
Thank you, Nanakuma Sake Shop!
Before I know it... it's already February⁉️
It seems like just the year before last...maybe it's my age, but it seems to be accelerating... 😓.
By the way, yesterday's Uguisu...as usual, it disappeared before the second day, so I'll get back on track...lol
I opened a bottle of Umeko, which I bought the label for 🍶.
The aroma is slightly fruity 😆.
And then... from the first sip, it has a strong sweetness and umami, with a little bit of the pithiness of nama-zake at the end 🥰.
The bitterness is only slightly perceptible, and the taste is generally gentle. It is quite delicious 😋.
I think "like a tropical juice" on the back label is not wrong 😊.
It's more for before and after dinner than as a food drink 👌.
Looking forward to tomorrow's taste change 🤩.
Day 2: 🗒️
More tropical like pineapple🍍🏝️ flavor⤴️ the pizzazz I felt yesterday is still gone... but I think it's generally more intense✨.
This is... delicious 😋.
Hello, koiing gulls 😃.
Time really goes by too fast 🥲, this year will be over before you know it😅.
Umeko with her indescribable face! No wonder I'm buying the jackets 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆
Time seems to go by so fast because I'm so busy with my daily life 😅....
But even with all that going on, I still think the evening drinks 🍶 are exceptional 👌Umeko, it was quite my favorite taste of the year 😍.
CEL24, known as Kameizumi.
This is a Takagi sake brewed with the new yeast L.CEL24.
And since it is a Concept Workers Slection and the other CWS sakes were also delicious, we have high expectations for this one.
After opening the bottle, you can smell the piney aroma: 👍️
It has a great sweetness, but it's not too strong, so it's easy to understand and you can't help but gulp it down. I'm sure Umeko will be keeping this a secret.
I was gulping it down when I noticed that the inside of the glass was cloudy towards the end...
I forgot that it was a bit cloudy, so I only drank the top clear part of the glass!
I love the clarity of the supernatant 😘.
At the event, the brewer, or rather the president ⁉️
He was there and took our picture with his stupid face and shame. ❣️^_^Happiness~!
The sweet and full aroma of Kochi yeast CEL24 is very exciting, but it is very sharp and 👌refreshing!
And Mr. Takagi, the president of the company, was a very fresh and handsome guy👌.
Before I know it, I'm reaching 400 check-ins.
400 check-in reach. What to do 😭
Hi Asanami 😃
I can imagine your happy smile 🤗.
400 reach? Let's just go with your favorite ones 😄 with idiomatic combinations 😆.
"Unfiltered" and "Nama-nara-sake".
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Yes, I'm loose with a big smile 🤤.
I'm still struggling with the 400th bottle 🍶.
I have a stock full of both unfiltered and unpasteurized sake 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Asanami.
I've met your son, Mr. Ippo, who is a master brewer, and he seems to have a similar smile 🤔.
Ito-no-kashi is more calm, sweet and full than Kameizumi 😋.
Hello, bouken!
I keep seeing President Takagi's healing smile over and over again 😁.
As you said, ito no kashi's elegant, calm and sweet full, I personally prefer it to Kameizumi of preference ‼️ probably a repeat sake ☺️
Yeast: Kochi yeast L, CEL-24
Sake level: -13 Acidity: 2.3 Amino acidity: 0.7
You may like the taste of CEL24 yeast. It tastes like tropical juice and pineapple and is easy to drink. It also has a little acidity. Easy to drink even for those who do not like sake.
The mellow aroma is pleasant.
It is refreshing, yet the aroma is pleasant to the palate.
It is perfect with both blue fish sashimi and white fish carpaccio.
Be careful not to drink too much.

Polishing ratio is 60
