The third sake, also from Nishinomiya, was a brand I had never heard of before, Shimabijin. This was another delicious sake that was fresh and easy to drink!

HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2024⑤. Shimabijin is a sake that I have had in the past, such as Nama-no-Harajiku and Jun-Dai. It is refreshing, with a hint of acidity and a gentle sweetness. I thought the same thing about the sake I drank in the past, but Shimabijin produces delicious sake even though they do not brew their own sake! The higher the temperature, the more classic it becomes.

January 27 "Nada Gogo no Kurabiraki" (7) I mistook Shimabijin for Miyakobijin, and since I had never had this brewery, I rushed out to drink it. ■Kitayama Shuzo K.K. / "Shimabijin", Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture Bijin Kurarabe Junmai Daiginjo Shimabijin It is delicious in the standard sweet and tasty way. Clear sweetness with a hint of umami and slight bitterness. This is delicious! Bijin Kurarabe Junmai Genshu Koshu Shimabijin This is an old sake that has been aged for 20 years. The aroma on the nose is all old sake. Slightly sweet and caramelized taste with too much maturity, not my favorite 😅. They also brought [Junmai-shu Shimabijin] and [Honjozo Nama-shu Shimabijin]. All Shirataka was sold out at about 2pm. Ozeki was also sold out.

Hi Nemuchi 😃 I've had the honjozo nama sake twice and it tasted so different that I can't believe it's the same sake 😅The brewery said it's a commissioned brew, so I wonder if that has something to do with it 🤔.

Purchased at Hanshin Department Store and drank for the first time in nearly 4 years. I heard that the brewery was damaged by the earthquake and they were forced to consign brewing to a third party. It seems that the bottling and adjustment are done by the brewery itself. When I drank it before, it seemed a bit sweeter, more distinctive and fruity, but I wonder if it has an aged feel. I got the impression that the sweetness is there, but the maturity and nuttiness are more pronounced. If it tastes like it this time, it's better and easier to drink with soda. I wonder if it's true that it's made by the Tatsumahonke Shuzo brewery of Shiraga?

Is Shima Bijin also brewed by Tatsuma Honke Brewery? The umami is felt at the back of the throat. The flavor is modest, but not unassertive. It has a slight honey aroma.

It is a sake from Nada-Nishinomiya-go. Nishinomiya is a city facing the sea, but the word "island" is not really associated with Nishinomiya. I wonder what the origin is. It seems that the brewery used to be located in a village called Shima, far inland (Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture), hence the name "Shimabijin. It is sweet and rich. The spiciness and sharpness are moderate. The sweetness flutters slowly and delicately. The thick sweetness is pleasant. How is it when warmed? A little sourness, astringency, and a soft sharpness come out. The taste is one step deeper. It's the type of sake that shines when heated.

I bought it at a shopping mall where it was on sale. It has a smooth and mild taste with a refreshing finish. It tastes like Japanese sake.

This superb daiginjo-shu is made with only white rice, rice koji and Miyamizu, and with a lot of care and attention. It is a rich and full-flavored sake with a gorgeous fruity ginjo aroma.
