This is Asahi Kiku Arahashiri, a Fukuoka souvenir 🍶.
It's in a nice looking bottle, but it seems that during the new sake season, Fukuoka's sake is often served in these stoppered bottles.
I thought it was nice because it can be corked tightly so it is easy to reuse.
The initial aroma is slightly sweet, like cooked rice.
In the mouth, it has a mild sweet flavor with a slight astringency.
It finishes with a slight bitterness.
The astringency was a bit strong, but the sake was delicious with a calm and full flavor typical of Asahi Kiku ✨.

The liquor store recommended that the brewer also said this honjozo was delicious.
The color is clear.
The aroma is mild, with hints of rice malt, melon, and pineapple.
It has a nice sweetness, a hint of sourness, minerality, and astringency, and is delicious at room temperature. No, this is really good.
It's Asahi Kiku, so I heated it up right away.
This is delicious!
The balance of sweetness and acidity is just right, and the astringency is nice. There's nothing special about it, but that's why it tastes so good because it's so ordinary.
If you like it, it can be heavy, but this is not that kind of sake.
A bottle costs 2,200 yen. Too good a deal.
I wish they would have this in stores. Especially if they are not particular about heated sake. I'm serious.
If you're going to have this kind of sake in a store, I want you to have this kind of sake. If they serve it for 550 yen for a single brew, it's a god thing.

Good evening, Tarou-san. I didn't know they have Asahi Kiku Honjozo. It's absolutely delicious 🍶♨️✨I'm sure you'll be a regular at any restaurant that carries this kind of sake 😊.

I forgot to add the photo.
I don't see any Honjozo in a google search. I don't think it's something you would go out of your way to find, but it would be nice to have it nearby.

A little bit of sake with a tipsy mood 🍶.
Asahi Kiku in Kurume.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity.
In the mouth, there is a slight sweetness and a mildly sour umami.
It is a little classic.
It was delicious cold, but I forgot that Asahi Kiku is known for heating sake😅.
Maybe it would taste even better heated up.
I will try again later 🍶.

Sake that has few peculiarities and can be drunk plainly. It has a strong full-bodied flavor and umami, with a really faint bitterness at the end. It has an honorable taste.

This time it is Asahi Chrysanthemum.
I was wondering if I should fully equip our house with Asahi chrysanthemums in the coming season. I was thinking,
I found it at a Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood, so I ordered it without hesitation.
It is slightly cream-colored.
The top aroma is like brown sugar.
First, a sip at room temperature.
The mouthfeel is smooth.
The mouthfeel has a strong alcohol taste,
The aroma of a mixture of ginjo aroma and brown sugar passes through the nose, and the sweet umami taste spreads slowly.
The aftertaste is refreshing and clean.
Light in flavor for a warmed sake.
Warmed sake.
Oh, it's delicious, with the alcohol feeling of the corners removed and a good balance of sweetness, umami, and bitterness!
It was especially delicious when heated and then cooled, with just the right volume of slightly thickened, mildly sweet umami.
Even though it has been aged for 3 years, it is not difficult to drink, which is characteristic of aging,
It is good that it is light and full-bodied.
The dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) we always order at this restaurant!
(Actually, there were 4 slices, but the picture looks like 2 slices.)
It goes well with the mildness of the soup stock and eggs,
I would also like to try it with sesame paste.

Hi Hirupeco, good evening 🌇.
Thank you for your support for Fukuoka sake 😊.
I don't drink much even though it's a local sake.
I always tend to put it off because it's always available 💦.

Good morning, Haruei Chichi! Heated Asahi Kiku sake is great 😆 You should try some local sake this winter! Fukuoka has a great selection of sake 😊.

Is this sake (which I haven't tasted yet) really that good?
I've never tasted this sake before.

Good evening, sake-run. Asahi Kiku is the No. 1 sake I would recommend to those who want to open the door to heated sake (according to Hirupeko) ☝️ experience heating up from room temperature 😆♨️🍶.
