Kikumasanme enjoyed warm sake. A crisp, dry flavor. The Kikumasanme label affixed to the ceiling above the cash register evokes deep emotion.
Incidentally, the first brewery to name a sake "Masamune" was Sakura Masamune, known for its No. 1 yeast strain. They consulted a temple for a new name → took "Masamune" (Seishu) from the textbook "Rinzai Seishu" → customers started calling it Masamune → it sold well, so other breweries also named their sakes Masamune, turning it into a generic term → during the Meiji Restoration, trademark registration became possible, and "Masamune" was unavailable, leading to the name Sakura Masamune.
Thank you for your continued support this year 🙇 I've been slacking off a lot 💦.

Delicious... warmed to lukewarm.
Following the last post, with the tuna we received.
Tororo tuna on top of a bowl of rice, sprinkled with green onion and sesame seeds,
Sashimi soy sauce with sweet sake 😁.
Sake was lukewarm with a little lenching ✨.
Too good 🤤!
Thank you for the food 😋😋.
It's been a while since I've had sake on New Year's Day, although I've recently been watching the sugar content and refraining from drinking it. It was served with osechi, and the dried persimmon-like flavor spread out, perhaps because it had been so long since I bought it. The aroma through the nose has a strong oxidative nuance reminiscent of sherry. The aroma is also nutty and savory, and although it does not go down smoothly, the flavors can be savored slowly.
Hmmm... not my favorite.
It has a strong aroma of cedar barrels, which is in line with the phrase "cask sake." It has a nostalgic aroma that I remember from when I worked at a liquor store as a student that sold sake in casks, and it also has the aroma I felt when I opened a cask of sake with a mallet at a company celebration, The sweetness of the rice is retained, yet it is dry and tasty, and the cedar elements may have been used to keep the aroma and taste simple because the other elements would have gotten in the way.

A series of articles on the search for good packaged sake 🧐.
This time, we're not going to be a stranger 🍶 Kikumasamune.
I've never seen 👀, a pink puck called Gin Ruby🎀.
I've had normal gin packs before, but I'm curious about Ruby 💭👀✨.
Here we go!
Banana🍌 type aroma plump 😆.
Gentle mouthfeel with a sweetness of rice or mouth full 💕
But the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing👍
It's a little sweet, but as the label on the back says, it's light and refreshing 👍. It's a little sweet, but as the label on the back says, it's light and the result is good 🎶✌️🎶
I found a pretty good packaged sake 😋.
Good morning, T.KISO 🐥.
I've never seen it bright red ❤️ 😳If it's sweeter, it's even better 😊.
I'm buying a cheap bottle for the holiday season, so I'd like to try this one too 😆.
Good morning, Pon, ☀️
This pink 🎀 of packaged liquor stood out on the display shelf too lol 😁.
I will be consuming packaged liquor on a regular basis due to high prices not only during the holiday season 😅.
Mr. T.KISO
Good evening 🩷.
Pinky 🩷 which I can't imagine from Mr. T.KISO
Ah! I can imagine from the bottom line🤣.
I like that it's not like Kiku-Masamune👍
Good morning, Attached Mourning Gods, ☀️ and I look forward to working with you this year 🙏😊.
I would like to try the Masamune series, there seems to be quite a variety 🎶.
I also recommend this pink one😄.
