With a view of the illuminated Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge: ☺️
This junmai daiginjo is made with Ehime Sakurahime yeast Type-4 and brewed using the "mizumoto" method from the Muromachi period (1336-1573).
The top aroma is slightly fruity, very soft to drink, with gentle acidity, mild sweetness, and a beautiful sharpness without much alcohydrates 😋.
We enjoyed it with Matsuyama chicken 🍶 We hope to enjoy a variety of 🍶 next year!
Happy New Year, everyone 😊.
Thank you ma-ki- for this year's ❤️😊It was a year that allowed me to step into the depths of sake. I look forward to working with you again next year 😉.

Between dry and umami, a good mix of both!
Strong rummy taste and a silky feeling that lingers on the tongue.
It was served chilled.

I'll comment on Sakenawa in advance when I go out to visit sake breweries in Tochigi, etc. ✏️
Dry after a long time.
It is said to be a sake made by listening to JAZZ.
At first, there was a little bit of a tangy taste, but it was sharp and tasty.
But when it is paired with food, the tanginess disappears and the smoothness increases.
and the smoothness increases.
It is quite an interesting sake.
We visited the new sake festival of Santan Masamune 😁.
There were a lot of people who are fans of Yamatan Masamune and it was pretty exciting👍.
Since it was my first time to try their sake, I decided to try all kinds of sake at a paid tasting. Here is a summary of my impressions.
Freshly squeezed new sake
Needless to say, it is fresh and has a strong acidity.
Honjozo Shimanami
(1) Honjozo Shimanami has a dry taste with an aroma that is a bit like Honjozo poi or a barrel sake.
(2) Super dry, dry and light.
It is light and dry, and quite refreshing. It is easy to drink and has little habit.
(3) SHIZUKUHIME Junmai Ginjo
Not much aroma. It is a junmai with a strong alcohol taste, but the alcohol feeling spreads to the palate and the taste is firm.
4) Ginjo-shu
Fruity aroma, the opposite of the aroma is the spiciness that stands out.
5) Junmai Daiginjo Matsuyama Mitsui
The ginjo aroma spreads widely. Overall, the taste was refreshing and well-balanced with sweetness.
It seemed to be the most popular.
(6) Daiginjo-shu
It has a ginjo aroma, but it was a little restrained, and the overall impression was very similar to that of ⑤.
⑦Shizukudori Junmai Daiginjo-shu
Surprisingly, the aroma is not so strong, (the aroma itself!) The sweetness is strong and the overall taste is dark.
(8) Natural old sake
Old sake but easy to drink, coffee-like aroma, suitable for aperitifs, but drinkable normally
Good morning, Robin 😃.
I like your new sake festival expedition: ☺️
It's a unique event to be able to delve into one brewery's sake all in one place 😊.
It's also great that the sake connection is expanding through Sake no Wa 😄.
Hi Aladdin!
The new sake festival was great👍I like the fact that you can sample all the sake made in the brewery at once and take your time ☺️ I never thought I would be sharing sake with a German 😄.
Hi Robin 🐦.
Your expedition to Ehime's new sake festival sounds like fun 🎶and international 😆👍!
I think I've only had one glass of this brewery's sake in Ehime before? It's nice to be able to drink so many kinds!
Hi Pon-chan!
The New Sake Festival is the best 👍Well worth the trip, it's a bit random, but it was fun and international 🤣The 9 different types of sake were all unique and enjoyable 😊.
Good morning, rootless!
Thank you for your hard work at the New Sake Festival.
The Junmai Daiginjo was delicious👍.
Matsuyama Mitsui Jun Dai is also a hard sake to throw away 😁.
We had this at a ryokan in Omishima.
The food and drinks were perfect for a tired body after cycling along the Shimanami Highway.... ☺️
The sake was delicious and refreshing and went well with the seafood dishes.
(I had jellyfish sashimi for the first time. ... Amazing!)
