Ibaraki Sake from a gift 🍶.
100% Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki! The aroma is fruity and sweet. The mouthfeel is sweet and bitter, then sharp! Is it dry? Today, I'm sipping it with my son and daughter-in-law with potato salad and chikuwabu (a kind of fish paste) as a side dish.

This is a brand that I am very attached to since drinking a 2 year aged sake from Gokeijin opened the door to my love of aged sake.
This is freshly pressed sake, so the taste is totally different... 😅
It has a tropical fruity 🥭 top aroma and a nice chirichiri-ness.
Sweet but very refreshing, very easy to drink and delicious 😋.
Unlike aged sake, I would recommend this to anyone 😁.
Gokeijo is of course a brand that I would not miss, but I also quite like the sake rice itself, Hitanishiki.
Morishima, Kiritsukuba, Yui Yui, Raifuku, and all the Hitachi-Nishiki I've had so far are at a high level👍👍.
The first taste is clean and refreshing, followed by a moderate sweetness and richness.
Easy to drink, this sake has a happy atmosphere.
It also goes well with meals.
I ordered it because the summer nama-zake was so good, but this was a different kind of sake.
I prefer the summer nama-zake, but it was rich and would go well with hot sake or something.
Alcohol: 16%, Raw material rice: 100% Hitanishiki from Ibaraki, Polishing ratio: 50%, Yeast: SYS yeast, Sake degree: -3, Acidity: 1.5. The first sake of the year 2025 is Gokeijo Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi, which was included in a whisky grab bag. It is a limited edition product sold only in the fall every year. The acidity is a bit strong and there is a bit of spiciness, but it finishes with a spread of umami later on. This year's post will be irregular, so please check back often!

A happy name and perfect for the New Year🍶?
I had a very good bottle of Gokeijo at an izakaya before, so I bought this small bottle with a cute label to try it out.
I bought a small bottle with a cute label to try it out!
Slightly sweet and fruity!
Delicious!
However, even looking at the label, I'm not sure which sake from Gokeijo is packed in this bottle...
I wonder if it is a specially made sake. I couldn't find it on the brewery's website.
All it says is "Sake".
Isn't that too rough?
It seems to be made from 100% Hitachi-Nishiki.
Next time, I'll buy a proper bottle of Gokeijo using Hitachi-nishiki!
My grandpa recommended this to me at New Year's.
He said it is a sake from Furukawa.
At first, it has a tangy feeling like carbonation, but the aftertaste is much cleaner and watery.
Waka Botan, the one I popped at Hasegawa Sake Shop with Hakutsuru.
I drank it at the Japanese sake festival in July and it was delicious, but I was so drunk that I forgot to buy it and regretted it 🙄.
Fresh and a little gassy. Perfectly balanced sweetness, not too sweet. The aftertaste is a bit short. I think it's a perfect flavor for during a meal. It was just as good as when we drank it at the Japanese Sake Festival.
It has increased my confidence in Gokei!
A little on the expensive side though💦.
