I think I bought it as part of a campaign for free shipping of Fukuoka Prefecture's finest products. I remember it was very good.

October 31, 2023 At Miketsubi, a Japanese sake and food restaurant in Matsuyama City. The third glass was Wakanami Junmai Ginjo Kotobukinmoku. It is a brand that I have been I have been interested in this brand for a long time. It is a fire-aged sake It is a fire-aged sake, yet it has a slight tanginess to it. It has a peachy aroma and sweetness. The first one is the one that is the most popular The taste is sweet and peachy, but it is more refreshing than the previous The last one has a slight bitterness. It has a sweet and peachy aroma, but it tastes more refreshing than the Kishu Nanko Ume The blue cheese is a good combination with the and blue cheese dengaku with Kyo-nanko ume plum crystals and Kyoto fu.

[Introduction] The taste of the sake is a gentle wave, and the lingering aftertaste will make you feel as if you are drifting on a gentle wave. It is a perfect sake for a meal that is not too assertive. It has a delicious mouthfeel similar to carbonation. It does not linger, but has a slight aftertaste.

This weekend we enjoyed a freshly pressed Chardonnay (a winery exclusive) from Kikuka Winery, which we visited last weekend 🥂. It's been a while since I've had a good glass of wine, but wine is good too! Kikuka wine is made from 🍇 grapes grown in Kikuka-cho, Yamaga City, Kumamoto, and is quite popular! If you see it, please try it! I also visited an event to see an artificial sea of clouds at Kumamoto Castle. It was lit up and there were quite a lot of people there at night 😱. I took pictures while getting squashed! After returning from the stroll, I opened a bottle of this Wakanami! It's from the neighboring city of Fukuoka... but you won't find it anywhere near here 😭. I popped it in with the other sakes! It smells like 🍇 when you put it in your mouth. The sweetness and sourness is followed by a spiciness! The overall flavor is well balanced and makes the cup go down 😋. I have to go to Hakata at the end of this month, so I have to get Wakanami!

Good morning, tomo 😃 I've been wanting to drink Wakanami for a while now. ☺️ Is it still hard to get it unless you are in Fukuoka? I recently learned that there is such a thing as nigori wine, and as a nigorist, I am very curious about it 🍷.

Hi Aladdin! Wakanami is delicious 🥰It's a neighboring prefecture, but I can't seem to find it for sale in Kumamoto 😭I wonder if we can get a special distributor 😂. Nigori wine 😳I'm curious about that 😋.

Good evening, TOMO-san. I never knew they make wine in Yamaga. I only know about the Lantern Festival 😂. Artificial sea of clouds is beautiful. I want to visit Kumamoto for the first time since elementary school 😊.

Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san 🌟. Kikuka wine from Yamaga is delicious 🥰 but I always hesitate to buy it because it is more expensive than sake😅.

It looks almost like a bottled canned coffee. It has a stylish design that would be okay to drink on the train, but as expected, I opened the bottle at home. What's inside is Wakanami, which is easy to drink and properly tasty. It is good to have something playful like this.

Wakanami. Compared to the other two bottles I drank earlier, the first one hit me first. The sweetness of the Omachi rice stands out and the sweetness of the rice, rather than the fruitiness, makes it easy to drink. The spiciness is normal and comes first.

My favorite Wakanami: ❣️ I discovered Hiyadoroshi and couldn't help but pick it up 😆. It has a calm taste like hiyaoroshi. But my usual Wakanami ❣️😍 I love it so much I could drink it forever 😂.

Wakanami Junmai Ginjo Fruity sweetness and acidity. Delicious. The sweetness is stronger than that of Amami which we drank together.

I was able to complete the Iwate Morioka City Marathon fun run (12.1 km) 🏃 with my wife ‼️😄I chose sake from her local brewery as my reward 😉. Let's get right to it. The nose has a slight ginjo aroma and some alcohol. In the mouth, there is a fruity sweetness at first, followed by a long lingering taste of umami and bitterness. We paired it with a Western-style sea bream Nanban. The sweetness and umami of this sake increased when combined with the spiced and acidic white snapper meat. The white meat as well as the moderate acidity and spices may be a good match. Rice] 100% Yamadanishiki Polishing ratio: 45%. Alcohol content: 15%. Pickles] Sea bream with Western-style sauce Price including tax】2,970 yen

At a Mizutaki restaurant in Hakata I see. I like the taste. It's dry. But... I'd like it if the taste was a little stronger.

Purchased Yamada following Yumachi! The taste is clean and refreshing, as is typical of Yamada! It is not alcoholic from the umami, but rather has a bitter taste with a quick finish. The push and pull are of consistent Wakanami quality. I drank it all up: 🤦‍♂️
