コタロー

The aroma is...what is it, grape? Sweetness. When you take a sip, you can feel the thick, thick mouthfeel with a hint of a splash of sweetness 🫧 The sweetness comes slowly in the clear mouthfeel, and then disappears with the acidity and bitterness. The bitterness seems to be rather bitter, but it is counterbalanced by the sweetness. It has been quite a while, but the freshness, acidity, and bitterness combine with the freshness and seem to tighten up the rich, sweet, and delicious flavor. As the day goes by, the freshness of the wine has calmed down, and it has become more mellow. The sweetness was firm like cotton candy, and the finish was more refreshing than expected.

Good morning, Kotaro! ‼️Genmai is also hard to find, so I haven't been able to drink at home at all. ☹️ Looks delicious 🤤.

Hi Manachy, ☀️ You can't really sell Genmai either 😩 It is sweet, but the balance of bitter and acidic tastes and the clean aftertaste made it a delicious drink 🥳.

This is the first time I've had Kawanakajima Genmai. I found it by chance at a liquor store in Toyonaka, but was tempted by the one bottle per person limit and bought it 🍶. It had a very rich, caramel-like sweetness, followed by a strange taste of rice! I'm looking forward to tasting it again tomorrow!

Good morning, Koi 😃. Congratulations on your first Genmai ㊗️ 🎉! We also had our first Genmai about 3 years ago 🤗I remember it had a rich sweet taste... but I almost forgot 😅.

Thanks for your time! 🙋 It's late April and the temperatures west of Tokyo are like summer if you're not careful 😱. Here on the coast of Iwate Prefecture, it is finally starting to look like spring! 🎉 Now, let's continue with the drinking party with our business partners. I brought out a Junmai Ginjo from Kawanakajima Genmai. The last time I drank it, it was a bit hard and dry, so I wondered how this time would be. I opened the bottle. I took a sip! 🤔. It's sweet! The strong sweet taste goes well with the strong seasoning of yukke (yukke whale) or yakitori (grilled chicken). I think it's important to match the ingredients. I think it's important to match the ingredients 😁. Tempura (Tempura 🍤) is also well received and goes well with the tempura. It was delicious. 👍

Mushroom soup and char on the hearth! Genmai with azuki label! The sweetness and umami are in a very good balance. It is juicy and gorgeous in the mouth! Delicious!

Genmai's Shiboritate Omachi🍶. The top aroma is sweet with a hint of richness. The palate is full-bodied with a rich sweet umami flavor typical of Omachi 😋. It was delicious with the sweet umami that is typical of Genmai 🍶✨️

I quite like the caramelized taste of this Yamadanishiki among the Genmai. The balance of umami, bitterness, and acidity is excellent. At Awaya.

It has a strong umami and richness of rice. The taste is also smooth and clean with a subtle acidity, but the mouthfeel is voluptuous. It would go well with meat dishes.

Well, well, well... I haven't had a chance to see Kawanakajima Genshitsu in the middle of the day, but this is the third time in my life. Here we go. I don't really notice the aroma, but it's more like a hint of it. When I opened the bottle on the first day, I felt a fruity and sour taste, but I thought that the sweetness would increase as it was exposed to the air. I thought, "I'll stop it after one gulp. Second day, still, just as I thought 😊. This one turned out better as the day went on, more to my liking 😁😁. I still love Kawanakajima Genmai 😍! The sweetness is good, but the bitterness is also good. This is also a nice touch 🙆. I wonder if the bitterness is the reason why I can drink it forever without getting bored 😋. It was good 👍👍👍👍

Good evening, Mr. Swissisun! I am so jealous of you, Phantom Dance 🤤. I love how the taste changes to your liking over time 😋. It certainly has a balanced bitterness that is not only sweet but more delicious 😊. I would love to drink it 🤤.

Japanese>English

スイスイスーサン

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki. I can only buy this sake when I go on an expedition, so when I find it, I get it immediately 😊I hope you will drink it too, ma-ki. I hope you will have a chance to meet someone who will be able to help you 🙏.

It's the Phantom Dance we received again! It has a strong effervescence and a moist and delicious sweetness. The sharp bitterness in cold sake becomes milder and more mellow at room temperature in cold sake. It is still consistently delicious. I am sad that I can't drink it all the time 🤣.

It's smooth and refreshing. Not too sweet, but it will get sweeter in a few days. It's beautiful. I feel like it has the aroma of chrysanthemum. The sweetness and sourness all disappear. It's like thick water.

The taste is more classic, with a strong sense of alcohol. It is not very fruity, but has a full-bodied sweetness and a heavy volume. The finish is tangy and dry with a unique flavor.

Tonight I nominated Genmai from the back of the fridge as a reward for this busy time of year 😋. It is fruity, sweet, juicy, and has a nice acidity at the end. It has a robust flavor, so it would go well with meat dishes 🍖 It is indeed delicious 😋.

The sweetness is firm and strong, The use of acidity to refresh the strong sweetness is truly outstanding, After enjoying the deliciousness, it finishes with a pleasantly moderate spiciness. I could not help but say "ahh, yummy! Everyone who drank it said it was delicious! Get it at a special sale at Uemoto Shoten in Nerima!

It's my first time to see this dance 😆. I didn't meet him when I visited Nagano last summer and I met him this time 😭. I bought a new car so I took a long drive and I didn't expect to meet you! As for the taste, when you put it in your mouth, the acidity first becomes noticeable. Soon it disappears and a soft, understated sweetness follows. I see, it is a sake that goes well with meals 🧐I had a feeling for a moment that it was like Edo Kaijo, but the acidity in Genmai does not linger. It's soft 😋. Good sake. The snacks were vinegared mackerel and kaki no tane. I bought 3 bottles: 🙇🏻

Good evening, ellie! Nice long ride in your new car 🚗. I envy you because Genshu Mai is one of the top sakes I want to drink 😋. The sweetness from the sourness - it still looks delicious 😊.

Japanese>English

Good evening, ma-ki- san😄. It is a delicious sake, just as it is reputed to be. Shinshu Kamerei is also popular, but Genmai had a more subdued taste. The new car came on schedule and I'm happy to buy Genshu Mai too 😆.

Hi ellie 😀 It's great to get a new car 🚗³₃ and get Genshu Mai 😚👍I'm so jealous 🥰 of you going to Nagano and your expectations for Genshu Mai and Shinshu Kamerei 😍✨.

Good morning, ellie 😃. Congratulations on your long ride 🚙 and getting your first Genmai ㊗️ 🎉 Nagano sake trip is fun 🤗. Hmm? Is that your new car in the bottom right picture ⁉️ you took the plunge 🤣!

Hi ellie 😃 I like this phantom dance 😊. This neighborhood, liquor stores, breweries, hot springs ♨️, it's really a paradise 😄!

Ms. ellie Good evening...first time here 😘. I'm really jealous of your home drinking as I haven't even seen Gensai at the pub yet 🤤Seventh-flavor cars... I've come across a car with a similar large Red Bull on it 🤣.

Japanese>English

Good evening Maecin-san^ ^ ^ My hobby is historical travel, so my target is Nagano since last year 🎯 Of course, I was impressed by Kamerei last year, and that is my purpose too ❗️ I was lucky this time ✌️

Japanese>English

Good evening Jay & Novi ^ ^. Yes, it is a new car that can load hundreds of kilograms of shichimi... 😓I've been wanting to buy this one... ❗️ I want to attack Suwako Gokura next. I'll be in a shichimi car 🤣.

Japanese>English

@Mizuhashi Good evening ^ ^ The brewery is quite easy to get to 🚗 There are also hot springs and Nagano is a really nice place to go for sake ❗️ This time the sake shop exploration was a hit 🎯.

Japanese>English

Good evening Kojo ^ ^ Red Bull is interesting too 😁I was traveling alone so I'm glad you all went in for the shichimi 🤣. I guess you can get some of the hard to find stuff when you go to your hometown, too: ❗️

Kawanakajima Genmai Special Junmai Hitogochi Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ml Sake rice Hitogochiki Rice polishing ratio 59 Alcohol content: 16%. We opened the bottle that we brought from Ueda at the end of last year. Now let's see how it tastes. Compared to the Oshinshu of the previous day, it is a bit lighter. But I can't say which is better or worse. Stored in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator at home. The thermometer is 5.7 degrees Celsius right now. The temperature in the refrigerated room above is 1.7 degrees Celsius. The winter sake stored in the vegetable room should be consumed soon and replaced with fire-aged sake.

Hi @Mizuhashi 😀 My favorite 🐢sama and Jikin-sama will only be hi-iru from April 😀. However, we have a lot of nama-sake at home, so we have to keep it in the freezing point cellar somehow 🤣.

Good morning, Yasbay 😃. If it's an ice cellar, it's fine 👌. Our freezer is set to minus 1 degree Celsius, but no vacancies 😭. I know you guys have a tough fridge problem 😓.
