Kiri number 600. I'm still drinking the raw sake. I like the full and mellow Yamada-Nishiki among Genshu Mai's. It is a beautiful sake both on its own and as a medium-bodied sake. It is a beautiful sake both on its own and as a food sake.

Congratulations on your 600 check-ins ✅🎊🎉, Boy Tetsu!
While the overwhelming majority of posts are about Nagano sake, Kawanakajima Genmai's draft sake is a very particular choice 😄The sake entrée looks delicious alongside the sake 😋.
Keep up the good sake life ✨!
Good evening, Mr. Tetsu Boy!
Congratulations on 600 check-ins 🎉!
I guess the milestone is sake from Nagano after all 🎵.
Genshuai's sake looks delicious 🤤!
I'd like to try it 🤤.
Let's enjoy the sake life more and more 😋!
Thank you for your comment, Hiro 😊Majority of the sake is local sake from Shinshu, so it is easy to reach a milestone 😅Let's continue to enjoy each other's sake activities 👍.
Congratulations on your 600th check-in, Mr. Boy Tetsu. This is a suitable sake for a milestone. I saw Kawanakajima Genmai junmai ginjo unfiltered. Special Junmai is another one I would like to buy if I see it.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins✅, Mr. Tetsu Boya: ㊗️🎉!
I am always very envious of your delicious sakes 🍶 and I am always looking forward to seeing you on the site 😋.
The season of new sake is coming! I'm looking forward to it 😊.
Thank you for your comment AAJI😊.
Kawanakajima Genmai's unfiltered raw sake has Miyamanishiki, Kinmonnishiki, Tokujun no Hitokochiki, and a lot of other grains 😊 I also like Yamaneishiki, which has had mixed reviews this summer 😊.
Thank you @Mizuhashi for your comment 😊 I too am envious of your record 👍 I am drinking even more because the brewer will be sad if I don't drink the sake I have on hand before the new sake starts 😃.
Good morning, Tetsu Boy 😃.
I knew it from Shinshu sake 🍶! Congrats on your 600 check-in at Genmai ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉Drinking with this kind of entrée is the best 🤗.
Congratulations on your belated 600 check-in, Tetsu Boya! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I envy you not only this sake, but also many other delicious sake before and after: ‼️ I'm jealous that you have so much Shinshu sake 😊.
Hello, boy Tetsu 😃.
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins 🎉.
I got the impression that Genmai's raw sake was interesting and complex in taste ✨I hope you continue to enjoy a good sake life 🍶.
12/20
At first I was going to give it a higher score, but after a few more drinks I lost a little interest. I don't like this ginjo aroma, but it tastes good. It lingers a bit and isn't bad. Not my favorite, but a nice sake.
I've been drinking a lot, so I thought I'd go home, but I can't go to the neighborhood membership or invitation-only? I thought I'd go home, but I called a sake bar in my neighborhood that I rarely go to. I called a sake bar in my neighborhood, which is a member or invitation-only bar, and they said they would let me in, so I went there for the first time in over a year.
I tried to go there after Sannomiya Off-line meeting in April, but I couldn't get in 😅.
Sorry we're low on sake right now. But no, no, no, no, they have Genmai 😍.
I don't think they had Shinmasa this time, but they also had Sogape.
I'll buy the ones I can afford later and drink the ones I can't afford so much 😁.
It's not really sweet, but I got the impression that it's elegant, gentle, and refreshingly sweet!
This is Kinmon-nishiki 🤔.
When I bought aroma sake before, it was sold as ginjo... I should've got the ginjo one... so good 😋.
Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆
I went to Eifukucho Yamazakiya and bought it a little while ago.
The aroma is weak when the bottle is opened.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a weak fruit aroma, a strong sweetness, and a strong bitterness.
It has a lot of umami, or perhaps the bitterness is part of the umami?
If you are thinking of the gorgeous Kinmon-Nishiki Special Junmai sake with a bright green color on a white background that I drank before, it is totally different.
It has a heavy mouthfeel. Heavy. But it has a nice sharpness, so I kept coming back for more.
The bright green one was a special junmai with a milling ratio of 59%.
I wonder if 4% rice polishing makes that much difference.
The bitterness is even more pronounced when used as a mid-meal drink.
It is for people who are used to sake.
Kawanakajima Genbu Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki
I bought this Kawanakajima Genbu on my way back from climbing a mountain in Nagano!
I'm glad I didn't come across this brand before 🙂.
When I drank it...
The gentle umami and clear acidity are pleasant, the elegant aroma spreads softly, and the mouthfeel is clean😌💫.
However, the aroma is a little subdued and may be a little lacking for those who are looking for a little more flamboyance 🤔.
The aftertaste is also a bit light, it would have been perfect if it had a little more lingering aftertaste...
But that said, the balance as a food sake is excellent!
Pair it with wild vegetable tempura and the flavors will be enhanced 👏.
On the topic of mountain climbing...
Last September, I climbed all of Japan's 100 most famous mountains!
And all of them were one-day challenges. So the last one, "Mt. Shizumidake (水晶岳) x Washu (ワ羽岳)," was a training-like climb with more than 21 hours of walking 💦.
We had planned to descend the mountain with a sense of accomplishment after climbing the 100 peaks, but...
But on the last part of the descent, we had an unexpected encounter with a bear 🐻.
We descended before we had time to enjoy the joy of the climb, but we were very glad to have made it back safely!
The third picture is Washu-dake (Mt. Washu)
Good evening, Takku0103!
It was my first Kawanakajima Genbu and the label was cool, so I decided to match it with the autumn leaves 🍁I climbed a mountain in Hokkaido this year with the presence of a brown bear, but it was scary 💦🐻.
Good evening, Kozo-san 🙂.
I was able to get 4 bottles of Kawanakajima Genbu at once at a liquor store I stopped by on my way back from climbing a mountain! They were all delicious, but a little different from my favorite type 🙄.
Good morning, Shieri 😃.
I've never heard that you've reached the 100 most famous mountains in a day trip!
Your physical fitness is too much. 😵💫
What is your next goal?
I'm also surprised that you got 4 bottles of Genshinmai all at once 🫢.
YMDAZ, I guess if you are a woman and a trekker, you are fully capable of achieving the 100 day trip mountains, but I have never heard of anyone actually doing it either. Right now I'm aiming for the 100 highest mountains with 100 flowers. I've had real luck with the Phantom Dance!
Hi Shieri 😃.
You've conquered 100 famous mountains in one day ‼️ that's awesome 🤗 so awesome I can't even imagine 😆.
Encountering a bear 🐻 would freak me out😱I'd be happy to encounter a bear label 😅.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I'm off challenging climbs now and enjoying the lighter mountains 🙂 Bears are too common these days, so bear spray is a must in the mountains 🐻💦.
I finally found the Kawanakajima Genmai I have been wanting to drink for a long time 🙌!
The taste is beautiful and gentle, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. It was a great balance of sweetness and acidity with a nice sharpness.
I've never had a Genmai, Ginjo😍.
I saw it at the right time and got it 🫡.
The aroma and richness are totally different from the usual Genmai, and it's very sharp!
It has a slight sweetness, but the basic taste is spicy and excellent sharpness 🗡️
Second negi ramen this week and it's a bit spicy 👍 for my slightly lean tummy!
Souvenir for myself from a recent road trip 🍶.
Got it at a local liquor store✨
The only sake they had was Honjozo before the new sake season 💦 even Okazaki Sake Brewery was empty 😭.
Next time I'll have to think about the season 🚗.
Oh, and the taste...Honjozo.
It is light and dry on its own, but when paired with fish, natto (fermented soybeans), or other foods with a strong flavor, it has a floral aroma that cuts through the fat and is very tasty as a mealtime sake.
This is a check-in from last year when I got it on my trip from Gifu to Nagano 😃 It was elegant and very delicate, I enjoyed the ginjo aroma and umami a lot... I can understand why it is so delicious and popular as it was gone in no time at all😋 I will make love to you
Label: 🏷️
Low difficulty😍.
It was easy to peel off when soaked in hot water!
Where to buy 🍶:Liquors Momose
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mariko Chino at a seminar at the University of Agriculture this past summer, and I am very happy to say that we were able to release a delicious Kinmon-Nishiki Mronnama even under the most difficult conditions.
-Kawanakajima Genmai
Kawanakajima Genmai," which I have not had much of a chance to drink.
Gentle taste brewed by a female toji.
Soft and smooth.
I want to drink it again.
At my wife's friend's birthday party 🎉.
We opened up the sake that we wanted to choose the right occasion to open it since it is a bring-your-own party by the lovers of delicious food every time 😁.
We were also happy that she was happy on her birthday 🎵 BY: R6Year, there will be no drop-collection, so the high end of Genmai will be here. The usual assemblage of Yamadanishiki:Miyamanishiki = 50:50 became 90:10 🎵 Gorgeous!
