Sumiyama Sumiyama Junmai Ginjo, opened 40 days ago, is made from local contract sake rice, "Saganohana" from the Sumiyama district. It seems to have become drier than when we first drank it. The sweet and sour aroma is still there. The gassy feeling is gone. It seems to have changed to something else, but this may be a good thing. We are rearranging the fridge to secure new sake...

The second one recommended by the waiter
I like the name of the secret sake.
It was a little fizzy, probably due to the first opening.
This one is also light and easy to drink.

Sweetness: Medium, Rice: Koji: Yamadanishiki, Kake: Saga no Hana, Rice polishing ratio: 60%, Alcoholic strength: 15%.
It has a light, easy-drinking aroma and taste with sweetness as its main flavor. It is the type of sake you would want to drink casually on a regular basis. It is typical of Saga sake, which is developed around a full-bodied sweetness. Toward the end, the sweetness fades out and acidity and astringency begin to appear in its place.
I drank it at Hizenhama during the day and drank it at night.
It feels similar to the flow I drank before, slightly effervescent and refreshing, but I prefer this one to the flow.
Purchased at a liquor store
I moved from Fukuoka to my parents house in Osaka last weekend!
Thank you for taking care of me for about 3 years 😭
I also worked part-time at a liquor store for about a year 😌I got to know many people through sake and learned a lot about sake from the brewery staff 🍶.
Lastly, I bought this sake at my old place before I moved here.
Cold sake
Light but deep ginjo aroma.
Light but gradually expanding in volume
It has the sweetness characteristic of Saganohana and the umami of Yamadanishiki.
It goes well with dishes with a lot of flavor.
Good evening, Eezy!
Thank you for moving🍀.
It must be lonely to leave a familiar place 😅.
It must have been a very fulfilling 3 years ✨.
I'm sure you will resume your new drinking activities in Osaka once you get settled 🤗.
Good morning, Izzy 😃.
Thank you for moving & welcome back to Kansai: ☺️
How enviable to have a part-time job at Sumiyoshi Sake Brewery 😳.
The location may change but the love for sake remains the same! Looking forward to seeing your new developments in the future 😊.
Good morning, Izzy!
Thanks for moving 😃.
Fukuoka is a very drinker-friendly city with great food and sake, so it's sad to leave 😭
Hope you have a good sake life in Osaka too✨
Good evening, Mr. Chesta! Fukuoka is always full of food and sake, and I am now the heaviest I have ever been 🤣 In Osaka, I will continue my drinking activities while taking care of my health!
Long time no see Heppoko check in 🎉🎉!
This is a sake 🍶 that I got from Heppoko's partner the other day! Ko-Imari Maeflow☺️☺️. Last time I checked in this brand was with Propulsion 😊.
Huh? Not at all! I thought it would have a sweeter taste because it's a SAGA 😳...but it's a dry food sake! I have the impression that it's a dry food sake 👍. I drank it without any snacks, but I had some cod roe...it went well with it 🥰. And to top it all off, it might be great with some grilled deep-fried tofu, right? I'm not sure what to think 🧐🧐. What can I say, it is indeed Saga quality!
It's a precious sake given to me by a very special person, so I'm going to savor it and drink it.
Thanks for all your comments, Jay & Nobby😍.
I haven't been able to checkin at all, but I haven't forgotten your love for Tochigi!
Lots of good Tochigi love 🥰🥰🥰🥰.
