Kawanakajima Genmai, which I was sad to not get on the first day of my trip to Kanto and Niigata last month, was the first store I drank at.
On the second day, I was able to pick him up on my way from Yokohama to Niigata Prefecture 😊.
Polishing ratio 59
Alcohol content 15%.
There is a slight sweetness of rice in the umami, and after the bitterness is added, it finishes crisp and clean.
I had it cold at first, but on the second day, I was told that room temperature was recommended, so I had it at room temperature as well, and the umami was fuller and more flavorful 😄.
The bitterness is pleasant, as I felt with the Junmai Ginjo 🍶.
Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
Yes😙 all the hard work on the first day paid off👍.
The Junmai Ginjo was more spectacular, but this one is easier to pair with food😊.
I tried to buy this one at the liquor store, but they explained that the aroma was not to my liking, and I had a bad impression of Miyamanishiki, so I stopped and bought Kinmonniki. I thought it was drinkable, so later I bought the Yamae Nishiki and tried it ✨.
I don't want to be rude to Sake Chiteno, but since it's online, I assumed the worst of the word of mouth I saw 😅.
It smells like a lactic acid twang. It has a yogurt-like flavor and also smells like honey in yogurt. Yes, depending on how you look at it, you can imagine that unpleasant smell of an over-fermented rainy season 🤣.
There is no gas, and the mouthfeel is soft. The sweetness is supported by the light umami, and the acidity is unexpectedly refreshing, but I also felt the sourness 🤔.
It was sweet and sour, not gobby, but surprisingly drinkable 😊.
Second day
The aroma was the same as yesterday's aroma, but the rest of the aroma was juicy and sweet, with a little bitterness 😄.
Fourth day
The aroma of lactic acidity is the same as the second day, but the sweetness is a little more clear and juicy, and there is a hint of bitterness 👍.
Third bottle of Genmai, this one tasted the best. Maybe I have a stupid tongue 🤣🤣.
Good evening, ichiro18!
I have a bottle of Yamae Nishiki from Genmai, but I haven't had the courage to open it because of the controversy 😭.
Thanks to your detailed review, I was able to try to open some of it 😭 Thanks to you ☺️
Good evening, ichiro18😄.
I'm impressed with your phantom dance challenge👍.
It's still tough 😅the unpleasant smell of an over fermented rainy season 😖 just hearing about it makes me want to refrain 🤣I might just go through with it if I see it!
Good evening, Mr. Ahuio😄.
I can't rely on the reviews of Genmai, because there are many opinions that differ from what I felt, but if I have doubts about the aroma, I'll start looking for the rough edges 😅 Enjoy the changing flavors of Genmai, Afuio-san!
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
I know we have different tastes, but this Yamae Nishiki was delicious ✨If you don't like the aroma, you won't like drinking it 😅But it's not that there was a bad aroma every time 🤣🤣.
Good evening, ichiro18!
I'm sure you have a great inquisitive mind to try new sake, knowing that there are pros and cons 🎵.
I was just talking with a friend of mine who recently made his debut in sake and we were saying that it's both fun and difficult because you have to drink it to understand 😁.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan!
I'm a wimp, so I'm always tempted to try even the sake I'm not supposed to 🤣I have to try it to understand it, as you said, so I drink it to gain knowledge 👍If I think too hard about it, I get swamped, so I drink in moderation...
Mellow, crisp, fruity 🌸🍶✨
There's been a lot going on this year, or is there?
Though the aftertaste is a little persistent...
Sweet 🐴, spicy, bitter, etc.
Complex flavors are nice ✨✨✨✨.
I enjoy it very much(^-^)/

Kawanakajima Genmai Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki Unfiltered Nama Sake
I've been drinking a lot of good sake, but I'm going to have another favorite, Genmai.
I will have it cold.
When I pour it into the glass, a little bit of fine bubbles adhere to the glass.
The color is clear with a hint of yellow.
The upper aroma is of slightly sweet apricot bean curd and a little lactic acid beverage.
The mouthfeel is a bit thick, with a peculiar aroma of sweet ripeness.
The taste is also sweet apricot bean curd, lactic acid bacteria, and a tingling sensation in the aftertaste, but the sweetness lingers loosely in the aftertaste.
There is no bitterness that I felt before, but a peculiar peculiarity.
Hmmm, something like an off-flavor, not the usual image of Kinmon-nishiki Genmai...
I'll let it sit for a while before drinking it again.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Ingredient rice: 100% Kanamon-Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55

Good evening, Nemuchi 😃.
I just started drinking Genmai and I'm finding it quite a difficult drink 🤣🤣.
I noticed your 1900 check in congratulations 🎉🎉.
Hi Nemuchi 😃
Congratulations on your 1900 check-in: ㊗️
I'm so proud of you for serving Genshu Mai here 👍.
For me, a Kansai person, it's a real genshu (fantastic sake) 🤤.
I'm a Kansaiite, so I'm sure it's a real gem of a drink 🤤. Good luck for another 100 to get in ⚾️
Thank you ichiro18 🙇 When I drank it before, I became a fan immediately because of its rich sweet flavor, but it seems that Yamae Nishiki had a controversial taste and this year it was different from before. But maybe I just have a stupid tongue🤣
Thank you Hissan 🙇 I am also from Kansai and I am doing my best to capture Genshu Mai 🤣I will secretly teach you how to buy it in Osaka 😁I only post a lot at events and I am still a novice in the world of great sake meetings 🥸.
Masaaki Sapporo, thank you 🙇 I decided to go with my favorite Gensu Mai for the stealth Kiri number 😁 Maybe I didn't store it well or my taste buds are not right, but it was a memorial with a different taste Gensu Mai 😅.
Nemuchi-san, congratulations on your very belated 1900 check-in 🎉🎊.
In my mind, the image of Genmai = Mr. Nemuchi is being built up 😌.
I hope you will manage to get Yamae Nishiki and drink it too 🤗.
Thank you, bouken 🙇 We were stealthy and stealthy with each other 🤣I'm a Genmai guesser, but this time I thought you mistakenly labeled Kinmon Nishiki as Yamae Nishiki 🤣I've secretly secured Yamae Nishiki as well👍.
Nemuchi, congratulations on your 1900 check-in 🎉🎊 so late 🙏💦.
I'm so happy for you 🎉🎊That's very late 💦. I'm jealous that you can drink ✨. I'm jealous that you can drink more than anything else✨.
Thank you, Pon 🙇I've been on stealth killer duty lately because I've been posting a lot of events and not drinking at home 😅The original Kimon Genshimai is very good, but my wife said it smelled weird, so I think this one is special 💦.
I was off today, so I was buying sake and eating, but the sky was bright red in the evening, a rare sky.
The last time I drank Miyamanishiki, I didn't like the peculiar feeling it had when it moved from umami to sourness, so I bought Kinmonniki to give it another try 😊.
The aroma is mild but sweet and the mouthfeel is soft. The taste has a sense of spreading umami, but it is not grounded, and the acidity is dry and sharp, and it passes through the nose. Finally, the bitterness slowly finishes it off. It has a unique sharpness.
I paired it with tempura as a mealtime sake, but it also has a mellow sweetness, and I think it is better and easier to drink while eating 🤔.
On the 4th day, there is a slight sweetness like honey. When you feel the sweetness, it becomes better to drink the sake alone👍.
The sweetness is more pronounced after a few days than when the bottle is opened, and the acidity is soft and rounded, but the sharpness is still there. The balance improves and it is easy to drink. But I think it still has a sharp taste 🤔.
Good evening, ichiro18😄.
It was the same magical sunset in my hometown too ☺️ autumn is approaching 🍂.
Phantom dance, revenge, isn't it? It looks pretty tough 😅It seems like a hurdle for me 💧.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
The red sunset was amazing.......autumn is almost here.......! Genshu is a very elusive sake as the name suggests 🤔Complex is one word that can be used to describe it, but I have a feeling that there are different tastes 😆.
Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
It's still very hot and raining very hard, but I can feel the season in the autumn-like sunset 🌆.
I haven't tasted the Genmai Kinmon Nishiki, but I'll put it to bed when I get it 😌.
Good evening, ichiro18!
I see that you spent your time off to nourish your energy with a good drinking 🍀.
What a fantastic and beautiful sunset 🌆.
I'd like to try Genshu Mai - is it a slightly peculiar sake? I'm imagining it.
Hi Hiro 😃.
Rain, looks like it's going to be awesome tomorrow😅It was cool and comfortable today, but rain 🤣.
I know it's your preference, but it was easier for me to drink it if I let it sit for a little while 😊.
Hi ma-ki-😃I took my time 😃.
I took my time 😁I was interested in drinking Genmai because it is very popular and I was curious to know what kind of sake it is, but I got an impression of its peculiarity 😅But I was still happy with Kinmon-nishiki because time can bring it closer to my liking.
Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
The temperature is hot 🥵 but the sky is getting higher day by day 😌 and the sunset🌆 is wonderful!
Phantom Dance! It's a bit heavy on the sweetness for us 😅haven't had it for a while though!
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃.
The heat seems to continue😅the high sky makes me want to taste the cool air😆You said before that you don't like Genmai 😊I guess it's a drink for those who are addicted to it! I'm sure 🤣.
Good evening, ichiro18 🌛.
The sunset sky with drunken tints is beautiful 🌆.
I still haven't been able to buy a bottle of "Kawanakajima Genmai" 🍶I doubt I'll be able to find it in the remaining 4 months of this year🤣.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
You can't find Genmai for sale 😅I searched a lot on the internet and was able to buy it at a weird liquor store that was dark even though it was noon ✨I'm actually planning to post another bottle 🤫I hope you can find Genmai too, Jive 🙏.
Kawanakajima Genmai Junmai Ginjo Kinmon-Nishiki Unfiltered Nama-shu! It has a unique aroma, and when we drank it, we could taste its sweetness, which combined with the salty taste of Nagano vegetables and grilled river fish!
I like Nagano sake, it has a good sweetness.
The label shows a female toji
Please continue to make delicious sake with your unique female sensibility
Please continue to make good sake with your unique sensibility.
The day before yesterday was the first test for the sake diploma!
The result was that I passed without a hitch🈴.
But I was so nervous that I forgot my parents in Aizan... I'll take the second exam again with more dedication ✊.
So I opened a bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai that I bought when I was in Fukuoka to celebrate passing the exam!
Cold sake
Rich fruit aroma
Smooth on the palate.
It has a peculiar acidity and a rather astringent aftertaste.
I wonder if my sense of taste and smell are okay with the second brewing process 😂.
Congratulations to Eiji for passing the first round of the SAKE DIPLOMA exam ㊗️🍾!
We will continue to support you in the second round of tasting and discussion!
Congratulations on passing the first test, Eiji 🎉🎊
You must be relieved 😊I guess you can celebrate first of all with a delicious drink! I hear it's tough studying for the second exam, but good luck 📣.
