Shirobotan Yamadanishiki
Kakuchi-ya Isokin
680 yen for 300ml of Junmai sake is cosy!
Unlike gold and silver, this sake is refreshingly good 😋.
From Shirobotan with a sweet image
I was caught by surprise 😊.
It is very good cold or hot 😋.
Nowadays, dry sake is preferred
but it is often shunned by those who prefer sweet sake.
It has a softly sweet taste, but the aftertaste is clean and easy to drink
Easy to drink with a clean aftertaste😊.
Sake with a very good use of brewer's alcohol
.
Happy New Year 🌅.
Our first sake of the year is Saijo's famous Hakubotan 😋.
It has a unique mellowness and sweetness that is just right👍.
I like the label by Shiko Munakata 😊.
Happy New Year, Koyan 🎍 and best wishes for the new year 🙇.
It's nice to have a first drink with local sake! I love Shiko Munakata so I want to find him 😁.
Pon.
Happy New Year 🌅.
I look forward to working with you this year too: 🙇🏻
I heard that Shirobotan was loved by Soseki Natsume as well as Shiko Munakata.
It was delicious 😊.
When I asked a sake shop in Miyajima about sweet sake in Hiroshima Prefecture, they recommended this one after stating that Hiroshima is mostly dry. I heard that Soseki Natsume was also a fan of this sake.
It is true that it has a slightly sweet taste.
Not related to the taste, but the beautiful logo is said to be the work of Shiko Munakata!
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

Sake and oden with your taste buds
You can spend a relaxing time 😊.
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 😄.
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
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.
It tasted like a hybrid of the modern taste of other brands of Hakubotan and the old-fashioned Saijo classic.
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!
and the sushi with 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 🤣.
