Despite the pop label. The flavor of the rice is firm, and the The finish is firm and sharp. It has a refreshing ginjo aroma. It is easy to match with meals.

✧🍶🍶🍶🍶´- Today I received a bottle of Kamikigen 😀. It's been quite a while since I've had a bottle of Kamikigen 😙. The aroma is not so strong when it is cold, but when the temperature rises a little, it has a nice aroma that is often found in sweet and umami type sake 🥰. It was a delicious sake 😚.

Today I opened a bottle of Kamikigen, a souvenir given to me by a good friend from Yamagata during GW. Today happened to be our wedding anniversary (the day we got married), so I had it with a special feeling. I am grateful to my best friend and my wife every day.

The owner said that the type and ratio of sake used in the blend changes every year, so you can enjoy the taste every year! The owner said it was the best sake he had tasted in the last 5 years, so we bought it. It's really good, easy to drink, and the cost is great. ‼️

Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu - Hurumoto - No. 43 3080 yen. Fresh, clean, and beautifully balanced. I felt the beauty of harmony, rather than a push for flamboyance or anything like that. I made a large amount of salmon Nanbanzuke, so when I served it as an entrée, its individuality was hidden.

At the Sake Tasting Walk 2025. We were served a daiginjo that we do not usually get to taste. It was the last sake of this event. I have not been able to get an exact count, but I must have had 10-15 cups. It was easy to drink and had a refreshing aftertaste. We also bought some chirashi sushi from Yoshiume. This was my third time attending the event. This was the first time there were so many people. There were lines everywhere.
