Mojiko Port Retro Kaku-uchi
Kaku-uchi Ya Isokin
Hiroshima's famous sake Shirobotan, rare in Kitakyushu.
It is a very delicious sake.
In Kitakyushu, you can only find it here and at Ishii Sake Brewery in Yahatahigashi Ward.

The first glass was Shirobotan Gin
The second glass was Shirobotan Junmai Ginjo

The white peony gold crest that we purchased today
I had it right away 😋.
It's not easy to find in Kitakyushu, so
I brought it home with great care.
White peony
First of all, it was served cold.
While loving the beautiful golden color
The gentle and sweet taste comes in your mouth.
A hint of rice fills your mouth and passes through your nose
and yet it flows smoothly down your throat...
Delicious... 😋
It reminded me of Kaku-uchi Isogane.
While dry sake is fashionable and popular
sweet sake tends to be avoided.
I highly recommend you to try this one 😊.
I have yet to know a sake that makes such good use of brewing alcohol.
I have yet to know a sake that uses brewing alcohol as well as this one...
You just have to go to the Shirobotan Sake Brewery opening 😄.

よっしい
Gorgeous and pretty image
Low alcohol content makes it easy to drink.
However, it does not have much flavor and is a bit thin.
It lacks impact.
Drink up to 300ml

はかたサバスキー
This sake is made by quick freezing unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
If you thaw it when you drink it, you can enjoy the freshly made taste that can only be experienced at a sake brewery.
It has a thick, sweet taste like honey. The rich sweet taste is like honey.
The 300ml bottle went quickly.
Thank you very much.

There is a bar event at a nearby restaurant before and after drinking out, so I just attended Icoma's!
I think this was a summer sake.
It has a strong rice flavor and a little sweetness?
It had a slightly yellowish color.
I tasted it twice before at a department store, but it seemed a little more peculiar than that time.
Both times before, I've tasted it as "refreshing," but this time I felt it was more like a pure sake.

At the Saijo Sake Festival 2024 in Hiroshima
I had a glass of Yusei by Shirobotan at the Saijo Sake Festival 2024 in Hiroshima.
It was a fresh cup with a ginjo aroma that passed through the mouth.
The aftertaste was crisp and clean.
It tasted like a hybrid of the modern taste of other Hakubotan brands and the classic taste of Saijo.

Saijo Sake Festival (5)
Continuing with the Hakubotan Sake Brewery
I attended the Saijo Sake Festival with a friend who is from Saijo and loves whiskey more than sake, but according to her, when she thinks of Hiroshima sake, she thinks of Hakubotan!
I guess you don't see it much outside of Hiroshima 🤔.
It's not like a fruit, it's more like sugar? Gentle sweetness like sugar
There is enough umami of rice.
There is a little bit of a lingering aftertaste

Saijo Sake Festival (4)
After Kamerei, we went to Kamotsuru Sake Brewery.
Visit the Kamotsuru No.1 brewery to see the explanation of the sake exhibition and purchase some limited-edition sake.
Then we went to Saijotsuru Sake Brewery.
I tried to buy the limited edition sake, but I hesitated and refused to buy it because it was sold at room temperature... I wonder if it's ok if the brewery sells it at room temperature 😅It was marked as requiring refrigeration...
Next, we went to Shirobotan Sake Brewery.
This is also a brand I had never heard of before!
Not so heavy and very mild!
Sweet and silky!
I think it would be great if it were heated up!

Is this one good too?
I think it might be a little alcoholic...
But I guess the impression will change as time passes after the bottle is uncorked!
I've already finished it though 🤣.
The appetizers were
Sushi on a stick of aroma box
Sushi with vinegared mackerel on a stick!

Hi Miyabi 😃
I've never had a White Peony 🥲 but it looks gutsy dry and has a sake level of -2 🤔.
This one looks like it would go well with Tsumami stick sushi!

Hi J&N 😊
I think the label gives the impression that it is dry!
But it's very easy to drink 😁.
You can't underestimate Hiroshima Saijo's sake. ☺️←Who am I kidding?
I'm relieved to hear that I'm not the only one who has been drinking it 🤣.

ヒロ
Hello, Mr. Martz😄!
I see you went to the Saijo Sake Festival ❗️ I went there myself 😄 It was great, sunny for two days. It was so crowded that I could only look at the White Peony Coco from the outside, so I enjoyed looking at the pictures again 😆.

I've always wanted to try this sake and was able to purchase it at the Takashimaya Sake Festival.
A little expensive for 3㌥ 😅.
It has a unique flavor, but it's gassy and almost like grapes or melon. It's juicy, sweet and delicious 😋.
There's a little bit of cemedine, but it doesn't bother me too much because the sweetness and gasiness outweigh it.
Tastes like peaches when the temperature goes from icy to cold.

I actually didn't know about this (I'm ignorant 💦) Saijo sake until now!
My first impression was "Yum! My first impression was "Delicious!
I think it's more of a classic sake. ←I'm a believer in my own credibility.
Maybe it is hard to find in the area?
If so, it's super precious!
The snacks are as follows.

Local sake in Saijo, Higashi-Hiroshima, the sake capital of Japan.
It has a full-bodied taste, but it is not sluggish and has a smooth aftertaste.
Not too sweet and not too spicy. 14% alcohol by volume.
Just right. This is what it means.
You can drink it with a meal and find yourself tongue-tied. LOL!
It was my first time to drink it, but it is a candidate for evening drink.

3.5 points - Hmmm, subtle. Day 2 oh well, it's just normal, no character, but the sweetness lingers on.
