It has been a while.
I've been busy on an overseas business trip.
Today, I opened a bottle of Biwako no Kujira (Biwako Whale) Nama Sake that I had bought and stored for some time in order to attack the market on Saturday and Sunday.
It is quite a solid and tasty sake, with quite a deep and robust flavor and depth as it goes down your throat. I bought it online after drinking it at Kamima and falling in love with it.
I grilled some tiki spiced teriyaki that I bought in Thailand and served it with a side dish.
Hi takan 😃
Good job on your overseas business trip 🤗Thank you for the spiced Tsumami from Thailand 🇹🇭 with solid Sake 🍶 😋It's nice to be international 😄.
A gift from a friend. This is the first time I have tasted Miyoshiei.
There was not much aroma, and the impression was that the flavor of the rice came to the fore.
The label says it is an aperitif or toast sake, but I personally prefer it as an in-between-dinner drink, as it is smooth and tastes like you are drinking it with strong-flavored snacks.
The proprietress recommended the Kitajima and Mishiroei Daiginjo as the last sake to finish off the diverse selection of sweet, sour, and spicy sake. We had it in a wine glass.
It is also known as "Shiro Daigin". It is the highest grade of daiginjo, which is submitted to sake competitions such as the Japan Sake Competition.
It has a gorgeous aroma, elegant and fruity taste, and a pleasant aftertaste. It was a fitting end to the week.
Rice: Yamadanishiki

I personally love Kitajima Sake Brewery's brewing ❤.
The image of the brewery always produces something irresistible to lovers of food sake.
As you can see in the picture, the concept is good.
It's not just about making a delicious nigori sake, but also about the nutritional value.
I take my hat off to them from the concept. 🙇♂️
Color →White as a matter of course.
Aroma: Aroma typical of doburoku.
Taste →Many nigori sake that are made as a food sake tend to be bitter, but this one has just the right amount of sweetness.
Yet you can perfectly taste the umami of the rice 👌.
The best part is the texture. This silky feeling of straining is also the best 👌⭕️
Perfect concept and taste😍.
Thank you for this wonderfully delicious dark nigori sake 🫡✨
It was given to me as a Shiga souvenir. I guess it is a souvenir sake of Kitajima's local brand. It has been a long time since I have had a boxed sake with a string. When I took a sip from the ginjo aroma, I could taste a grape-like flavor that was a little different from the current style of sake, which is not so glamorous. This is the first time I've tasted something like this. It is strong but easy to drink.
I tried it cold, chilled, on the rocks, and heated, but surprisingly, the acidity and sweetness were better when heated. I'll be drinking sake less often this time of year. I'm always happy to receive unexpected gifts.

Biwako no Whale! It is a raw sake.
It is very fruity and very flavorful.
The taste is so attractive that you will want to drink as many glasses as possible!
At the legendary Izakaya Kamima in Kyoto.
We had tempura and sea urchin for entrée!
We had a great time drinking with the manager!
Heavy, spicy, slightly sweet and refreshing.
I think sake is interesting because it is the opposite of fruity, and this kind of sake is still available today.

It was so much fun ♪
Good evening, Pon-chan. Your detailed report of the Kura Matsuri is quintessential. And you even included a picture of Kitajima Aizan. I'll say it one more time, I'll definitely get it.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 🌙
Kitajima Aizan is sweet and delicious on its own, I wonder what kind of sweetness it would have if it were heated up 😊Please get it and try it at different temperatures 😄I look forward to your review🎶.
Good evening, Mr. Tsukemogami!
I am very happy to know that this brewery also serves delicious sake every year 😊Daiginjo is very expensive and hard to afford, so I appreciated the tasting 👍That was very tasty~❣️
Good evening, Pon!
It looks like you enjoyed the sake brewery tour to the fullest ☺I'm sure the stalls and the limited sake available at the brewery made the drinkers happy just by imagining it 😆.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 🌙
Thank you 😊Every year the breweries get a little creative and make the event a little more enjoyable 🎶and the drinking and eating only increases 🤣.
If it wasn't raining, we could have had a comp 😭.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃
I went to Kitajima Sake Brewery with high expectations but I felt like I had no choice 😅I had a stall at the bus stop and had hormone yakisoba but they didn't have sake 😭 even though it was a sake event... 😅
Hi Rafa, good evening 🌙
Everyone at the free tasting was very quiet 😅I'm sorry to hear about the stalls 😭I hope they will pick up these voices and improve them 🙏The paid tasting was better than last year 😁.
Takubon-san, good evening 🌙
So you work on Saturdays and Sundays 😳 That's... that's hard because many breweries open on Saturdays and Sundays 😭 Oh, that's good because most events in department stores start on weekdays 😁! Most department store events start on weekdays so it's nice there 😁.
Pon, here's another one 😊.
Sorry about the mission incomplete.
But I'm sure you had a great time 😁.
It's a great service to be able to move from warehouse to warehouse by shuttle bus 👍.
Thanks again for your help here, Chichi 😊.
Hi! I enjoyed it enough 😆 I'm aiming for a comp next year👍.
It was raining so it was a bit difficult without the bus ☔👣💦 really appreciated 😊🙏.
Hi Ponchan😃I love the sake brewery tour 😃I'm glad they have shuttle buses ‼️😍I'd love to do a sake brewery tour too but I can't drink on a motorcycle 😂.
Hello Manachy, ☀️
It was raining ☔ so the bus was a great help 😊 some places are a bit far to walk...
It would be nice if there is a tour where we can take our time 🎶.
Hi Harinezumi, hello ☀️
I was slow to get there because of the rain ☔, but once I got there, my adrenaline was pumping and I was still rushing around 😆 It's fun 🎶.
Hello Lutemi, ☀️
I'm hesitant because it's a long way to the nearest station 💦more so when it's raining☔... but it's fun because there are really a lot of tastings! Hope to see you next year ❣️
Good evening, Ponchan 🌙
The sake brewery tour looks fun 😍 the quaint buildings look great✨ I've never been to a sake brewery so I'd love to go 😊 I'm sure you had a great day enjoying both the sake and the cherry blossoms 🌸 ♬♬.
Yu🎶, good evening 🌙
There are many historical sake breweries, so it's fun just to see the buildings...many of them are hard to get to without a car 😢If there is a brewery close to the station, I'd love to visit 😊.
Good evening Erin 🌙
I've finally been able to visit more places 👍I'm hoping to go to the brewery's store this year even if I don't get to visit 😄I'll have to make up my mind or I'll be skipping too 🤣.
Good evening, Pon😄.
I enjoyed reading about your brewery tour 😊♪
Thank goodness for the free shuttle bus 🚌.
I see you were able to sample a lot for free & for a fee: ❣️
I wish I could visit the breweries without 🚙🥹.
Thanks for your time 😊.
I know a lot of breweries are only accessible by car 😅 drivers can't drink and are reserved for those who can't drink 😢 thank you so much for the bus 😄👍.
Purchased at a roadside station near Lake Biwa.
It's so thick ❗spicy ❗strong ❗that it's a knockout every time I buy it.
It seems to be a good way to greet a strong meal 😅
