Quick and lively acidity!
It has a fruity feeling, but because of its high alcohol content, it's not too flamboyant!
This is the brewery I've been hooked on lately!
At Sakeya Otake
This sake was created as part of a project by Shikishima-san, Gishima-san, and Futabagi-san, all sake breweries in Aichi, to produce their own sake using "Yume-Ginko" sake rice from Aichi, with the goal of helping rice farmers survive!
Among them, Shikishima-san's sake is a light cloudy one, and it is delicious 🥹.
Fresh, sweet and delicious!
I could taste the sweetness of the rice and the citrusy? I felt the fruity taste of the rice and citrus fruits. It has no unpleasant taste at all but has a strong flavor!
It also has a strong aroma!
I could also taste a little nutty and rich flavor deep inside.
The slight carbonation is pleasant and makes it easy to drink!
I want to drink it with Gikyo-san and Ni-Usagi-san too!
I wish the rice farmer's continued development!
One bottle I went to buy as soon as I saw a post on my regular liquor store's Instagram about it coming in 🍶.
I opened the bottle immediately!
It tastes like a bit of sourness at the beginning, and then it has a great sharpness! I found myself drinking too much of it: ☺️
It is totally different from the usual Shikishima. Delicious!
Just between you and me🍶.
It's autumn, the first autumn since I got into the sake swamp. It's hiyaoroshi season.
It's fun to see the different faces of each season!
A different impression from the Shikishima I received before
Very dry! Dry!
But it still has a rice flavor,
When the temperature rises a little, the flavor comes out in the mouth.

Shikishima's Yamadanishiki Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu with No. 8 yeast!
I drank it for the first time. It was fruity, something I had never tasted before. It tasted sweet, a little spicy, a little strange and addictive.
Chita Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 18
The aroma from the glass is subdued.
It has a soft mouthfeel, but after a short time in the mouth, you will notice sourness and a peach-like aroma.
Although it is a special junmai, it is junmai ginjo class with 60 polished rice. Made with Yamadanishiki from Chita, this is a made-in-Aichi collaboration.
It was very delicious. 🤗
Shikishima, which was purchased on a business trip to Tajimi.
I had been in Aichi for three years, but at that time I only drank Honjozo of Horai-izumi.
I had no idea there was such a good sake. It is delicious at room temperature. It has a firm flavor and bitterness, and you can drink it forever.
It is now autumn, but the kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) is still good,
The kama-age shirasu (dried young sardines) is still delicious.
This is Shikishima, a limited edition of Sakeya Otake.
It is said to be aged for 1 year in the fire.
The aroma is sweet and sour with a faint scent of wood.
It has a full-bodied sweet and sour mouthfeel with a firm umami flavor.
It finishes with a slight astringency.
It has no sense of maturity and is a modern version of Shikishima's Kinmon.
It was easy to drink and delicious 🍶✨.
Shikishima's reissue label.
The proprietress also purchased this sake in Nagoya.
The first aroma is sweet with a faint scent of wood.
The taste is firm with classic acidity in the mouth.
I've had a few Shikishimas, but most of them were kind of quirky 🤔, but this one was pretty good 🍶✨.
