On the second day of our trip to Fukui, we visited a sake brewery on the way back from the Dinosaur Museum.
This sake is brewed from rice grown without using pesticides and fertilizers.
Compared to sake brewed with rice grown as usual, it was delicious, with a good sense of liveliness. (I purchased it and will review it again later)
It seems thin and refreshing in the mouth, but soon after, the umami flavor gradually spreads and a hint of sweetness can be sensed.
The light acidity and sharpness of the flavor make it a perfect accompaniment to a meal.
I bought Kibotsu before the year-end party at work, and on the way back I bought this sake along with Nagato Gorge in a tongue-tied state😅.
It has a smooth mouthfeel.
It has a good balance of sweet and spicy and fruity, but it's still a sake that you can drink lazily.
Echizenmisaki is probably one of the best in terms of drinkability 🤔.
This year, I came across Sake-no-wa, and,
I got hooked on the taste of sake and the variety of sake.
I will drink more next year!
The end of drinking, Sukiyaki and
The second drink was Echizen Cape Stark Kaiser!
Apparently it means "powerful emperor" in German.
All the sake listed on the white board at FURUMAIYA's Kaku-uchi are 500 yen, and although we didn't order any entrées since it was a zero-ticket party, the menu is quite good for a Kaku-uchi ✨.
I don't know about the aroma, it has a beautiful mouthfeel. The beautiful umami is lush and the mild acidity finishes it off nicely. It's listed as super spicy +10, but it's not that spicy, the umami is beautiful and irresistible 🥰.

Echizenmisaki Junmai Genshu Prune
The name "Prune" means "plum" in French.
Like Ananas a little while ago, some might argue that they want to use a French word for sake...
I tasted and bought this sake when my hobby sake shop was holding a special event at Keihan Department Store.
I had it cold.
The color is clear with a light yellowish hue.
The nose has a sour, green plum and plum aroma.
The mouthfeel is minerally and flows smoothly.
After swallowing, the nose is filled with the aroma of fresh green plums.
From the mid-palate, the mild acidity is intermingled with a gentle sweetness, and the taste is moderately sweet and sour.
The taste is also tightened by the acidity, but it is also gentle.
The high acidity keeps the sake well-balanced and not too sweet or too sour, even with the high sake content.

Hello Nemuchi ☀☀☀☀.
I've always been curious about this sake, but it looks like ●Koma-san won't let me in on specs, so I'll have to buy it from a hobbyist liquor store😅.
[After the crab dinner, we went back to "Sakeba Maruko" for a second round of drinks (2).
I remembered I hadn't had my second drink, so I chose this one 🍶.
Echizenmisaki Ume Yeast Junmai Genshu PRUNE
The aroma is calm with a hint of plum flavor, the mouthfeel is slightly sweet with a beautiful umami flavor, and the finish is refreshing with a lingering sweet plum flavor and aftertaste.
The sweetness and umami of "Echizen-misaki" matches the aroma and taste of ume, and is quite delicious.
When I asked the waiter if I could take a picture of the cellar to confirm the details of the sake, he told me that I could take a picture and if there was anything I wanted to drink, he would be happy to bring it to me from the cellar.
While wandering around an antenna shop in Fukui, I saw a "only available here" pop-up on one of the Echizen capes I wanted to try! Is it mainly shipped within the prefecture?
The aroma is sour.
When you drink it, it flows like water, slurping on the palate with no resistance at all.
But there is a hint of sweetness from the rice, and it finishes with a crisp sharpness. Delicious.
After a few days, you start to smell like muscat?
When you drink it, it is fruity for a moment, but soon changes to the deliciousness of rice, and it is still sharp!
It is more on the classic side, but it is full of transparency and does not feel heavy. The slight bitterness in the aftertaste is also pleasant.
Warming: ♨️
The aroma of rice is a little bitter. When you drink it, the sweetness of the rice expands and is cut off by the acidity.
It is also good warmed up.
I'm curious about the other Echizenmisaki 👀.
Hello Kotaro!
Welcome to the Fukui antenna store 🥰.
The production of the revived sake rice [Kuzuryu] is limited to Fukui, but this spec itself seems to be available at stores that carry it 🤔I recommend "Echizen Cape Honami".
Good evening, Mr. Gyves!
I've been stopping by the store in Fukui to look for snacks and other things 😆Grilled mackerel is delicious👍.
I see, it was the sake rice that was limited!
Firm 16°.
Sweet aroma, thick attack. Taste: a firm, umami mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly and has a heavy aftertaste.
Accompanied by boiled crab. It will make you excited. ✌️
This is Nemuro Dosukoi.
There is also sake here.
Here is a sake comparison. The first one was Prune from Cape Echizen. Fruity, sweet and easy to drink. It has a gentle white wine taste. It is characterized by a muscat-like taste and is suitable for drinking alone. It gives the impression of wanting to cross sweet with sweet.
