We had a new bottle of wine that had been laying around for 10 months. w
Mild aroma like almonds🫘.
Firm taste with good flavor and acidity 👍️
Fresh, clean and crisp ✨
Clean aftertaste as well 🎵
A colleague gave me this sake as a gift from Fukuoka. The taste of rice spreads quickly in the mouth with a clean aftertaste. It is the kind of sake I like and I enjoyed it very much.

Cool acidity, not enough for me personally due to the lightness of the alcohol content.
Hijiki (hijiki mushrooms) simmered in a five-meat sauce
Purchased as a souvenir when I went to Fukuoka to watch a Hawks game.
I don't often drink Fukuoka sake.
For now, I wanted a sake made from Fukuoka sake rice, so I bought this one.
The rice is called "Yume-Ichikyo" and they do the squeezing by hand instead of using a machine. Luxurious!
First of all, I recommend drinking it cold to get the fullness of the rice and the dryness with a touch of acidity.
I wanted to drink it lukewarm.
The rest was served warm. The fullness of the rice spread more.
It was good.
It was delicious.
I tasted it when I visited Fukuoka and bought it because it was delicious.
It was hot, so I chilled it and paired it with yakitori (grilled chicken), and it went very well with the sweet and spicy taste of the sauce.
Maybe because it was chilled, I didn't notice much acidity, but it was a very flavorful sake.

Kiku Bijin Sake Brewery in Miyama City
This is the first time I have heard of this sake brewery!
According to honda's post, Kitahara Hakushu's sister married into the Kikubijin Brewery, so the brewery has a connection with Kitahara Hakushu.
Polishing ratio 35%, Yamadanishiki 16%, 4,400 yen
Tsukuei" is read as "Tsukubae".
It is light, fruity, and has a beautiful taste, but it tastes like an off-flavor.
Alcohol content: 16
Yume Issen
Rice polishing ratio: 60
The back side of Kikubijin.
I have never had the front side, and this was my first time to drink the back side.
The aroma has a lactic acid bacteria drink feel.
The bitterness is predominant and the umami of rice can be felt. It is neither like a dry sake nor a medium dry sake. It is a sake that fits the expression "slightly dry.
I think it goes well with all kinds of food.
Kyushu (2)
Yesterday, I was driven from my eldest son's wife's parents' house in Saga to Hakata where we are staying at a hotel. My eldest son is staying at his wife's house, so he left and my second son joined him instead. The six of us, my daughter and her husband, and the baby, went to a motsunabe restaurant that we had reserved 🍲.
Kiku Bijin Fukuoka sake First time drinking (and seeing) it!
A little stylish bottle.
I later looked it up on the internet and found that Kitahara Hakushu liked to drink it and even wrote letters on it!
Soft and gentle?
It's a little sweet, but it's refreshing.
It doesn't interfere with food and goes down smoothly.
We had a late lunch (and cake) until 4pm and then had motsu-nabe from 5pm!
For that, I ate okay 🤣.
