Last drink of the season!
100% Tamakae produced in Shiga Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol: 16%.
As you can see in the 3rd picture, it has a nice color as it has been aged for 6 years ✨.
Aroma like Shaoxing sake
It has a strong sweet taste! Sake level -42.0😳
But there's also a sourness and a bitterness at the end so it's not too tart.
Umainger 😆
I think caramel is the closest 🤔
It also tastes like mirin, which Nemuchi told me about.
Soy sauce taste
It went well with Chinese food 🤔.
I thought it would have a more pop taste from the label, but it was a well matured tasting sake 😊.
Thanks for all the delicious sake this season 🙏!
Next time we will finally start the new sake!
Good morning, Pon 😀
You closed the 24-25 sake drinking year with a really unique sake😇.
I would love to try one of these sakes at least once 😀.
Now, I am looking forward to seeing which new sake you will start the new sake drinking year with😇.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
With such a joke label (I praise you 😁), it is a rejoicing brewing derived from Engishiki of Heian era! It's so called Kijoshu brewing which was called Shiori 😊.
Quite the quintessence of the word Kamikai 🫶.
I'd like to try it, I'll look for it 🤔
Good morning, Ponchan 😃.
It looks like it could be mistaken for a juice for children 😆I would be in trouble if a child drank it by mistake 😵Next time you start a new bottle, your fridge is all set ❣️ what do you think is the first bottle you'll open?
Hi Pon, did you open the bottle? Umainger! 😆 It's quite 🫶😋 they are thinking of stopping this label this time so it's precious 😆 I'm not sure when to open it... 🤔
Pon-chan, hi 😃.
I heard the Sentai series is ending. I haven't watched it since I grew up and I miss it 🥲.
I hope they continue it for adults with something like "Drunken Sentai Umainjar" 🤣.
Good evening, Hanapin. 🦉🦉🦉🦉
I didn't know that and had to google it 😳‼️ even though it's the 50th anniversary 💦I guess it's just because it's the end of the year 🥺I had written many reasons...
I really miss you 😢
Good evening, Yasbaye 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉.
I had nothing but new sake in the fridge 😊I thought it would be nice to end the day with a matured one 😁.
The new sake is the sake I bought after being inspired by you guys 😆 I'm immediately influenced 🤣.
Aladdin, good evening 🦉🦉.
I didn't know about this rejojoining brew 😅I google everything 😆 This might be good with some sweet treats too 🤔.
I wonder why this label 🤣
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
Maybe the idea is that kids will enjoy it! I'm sure your mom and dad will encourage you to drink sake just to see the label 😆.
The new sake is a brand I bought partly because of the influence of the moms 🤭.
Good evening, ma-ki-🦉🦉.
I like the name of this one 😆 I was drinking it while saying umainjar 😁.
A certain country's pacri! Is it just me or does it look like Mickey Mouse 🤣?
Good evening, kozo🦉🦉.
I hope you can beat that hangover 🤣Umainjar, you must have some turmeric power or Hepalyse in your hand 😆.
Shiga is pushing ninja so everyone is holding a sickle or ninning 🥷.
Nemuchi, thank you for sharing your taste 🙇 and Mirinpo 😆 Enjoy 🎶.
I also like the label on the back "Our battle is just beginning! is also my favorite 🤣.
Hi Hiro, good evening 🦉🦉.
Drunken Sentai Umainjar 🤣fighting alcohol? At least it's in the late night slot 😆 30 minutes or an hour? I don't know if it will last 😂.
T.KISO, what a perverted series 🤣.
What kind of pervert are you, Manachie what are you going to do with the Red 😆.
I'll leave it here so it doesn't get deleted 😂.
Mr. Ota also went to the famous eel restaurant, Okasugi!
It is very difficult to make a reservation, but I guess there was a cancellation.
We went to eat a course of grilled duck and eel shabu-shabu.
First of all, we toasted with "Kamikai no Amakappa"!
As the name suggests, it was so sweet and sour and so smooth to the palate that it was gone in no time 😊.
Sashimi with Matsu no Tsukasa no Raku!
It has a well-balanced light taste and goes well with it!
Sweet fatty duck with Mitsuriboshi White
I like the white of the three stars best, but I would have preferred a sake with a bit more punch 🤔.
The sweet and fluffy eel shabu went well with Chikubushima's ginjo sake!
I drank it the other day and chose it because it was easy to drink but had a strong taste!
I also had zosui (rice porridge) with the eel shabu pot!
It is full of eel extract and delicious! ❣️
We were very satisfied with both the sake and the food!
Hi Hanapin 🐦.
I had it for the first time too and it's sweet, fluffy and delicious 💕It takes a while until it's ready to eat, but it's nice including the talk with the store owner during that time 😊🎶.
Hi Pon 😃
I've never heard of Unashabu 😳It's a popular restaurant ✨I'd love to visit when I'm in Shiga 🥰but I guess I won't be able to get a reservation 🤣Jinkai for toast sake! It sounds really good when I read the reviews for aperitifs!
Pon-chan, here too 🌛.
[I knew about sukiyaki (sukiyaki with eel), but I had never heard of shabu-shabu (shabu-shabu with eel) 😲.
I'm suddenly interested when Dr. Ota goes there: ✨️
Good evening, ichiro18!
I have to call at 10:00 on the 20th of every month to make a reservation for the following month, but I couldn't get through even after persistent calls 🤣By the time I got through, it was full 😭It seems that it's still easier to get a reservation on weekdays, so if you have a chance, please do so!
Hi Gyve, good evening 🦉.
I was so happy to see the restaurant just like on TV 😆 It's a slow cooker, but it's fluffy, sweet and delicious 😊It's hard to get a reservation, but I'm sure Jive will have one, so give it a try!
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
Unashabu⁉️ is that something 😳It looks like you will be very satisfied with both the drinks and the food 😍.
Do you have any eel shabu to finish off the course?
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
Una shabu, I don't shabu shabu, I put it on top and sit still for a while 😁it's fluffy and delicious ❣️
The final dish is zosui (rice porridge) with broth extracted from eel 😊That's delicious!
Next, another nigori sake from Shinkai. Unlike the previous one, this one has a clear bottle with light pink nigorizake inside. Both tastes delicious😋.
The first Shiga Sake Festival in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan (1940-1925)
Fujimoto Sake Brewery and Shinkai booth
The booth is a must-visit. The booth is a must-visit. I was reminded that the fireflies were lighting up at the end of the event...
There was another Shinkai Family visitor, a foreign man and a Japanese woman. The man was wearing the same color Kamikai T-shirt 🤣.
◉Jinkai Senshutai Umainjar Re-join 2019
This time a batshit delicious weirdo sake. 6 year old rejojoined brew, with a massive amino acid taste, caramel-like mellow round sweet umami without any astringent taste. It also has a little bit of mirin (sweet sake). It is somewhat similar to Tamagawa. Other Kamikai family members also praised it highly.
The next time they will use a proper label, so they will not use this label again.
They said that they have already sold out of one portion of the bottle, and that the quantity of the bottle sold out in an instant.
◉Jinbiraki Junmai Ginbuki Hiyoroshi
I don't remember it because of the strong impact of Umainjar.
Shinkai Junmai Retro Aka Yamahai
This one is a 10 year old sake, I think they said. It is rich and full-bodied, but has a slightly old sake feel to it and is best served warm.
I thought I was at the end, but I went to a nearby booth.
As the name "fully matured" suggests, this is a raw sake that has been aged for two years. Kamikai-san prefers the Uchinomimi Extra Series, but this one has a good unique flavor because it has been aged in its raw state!
I am a strong sake with a very dry taste and a high concentration of sake.
The label on the back of the bottle says, "I am a strong sake🍶.
It is exactly as it says, but I have a feeling that some circles will scold me for the sweetness of my perversity.
The saury was delicious. Past tense.
Two comments with different sensitivities! This is what a diverse society is all about!
I love Manachie's honest expression 😀 Go suck on your mama's tits!
T.KISO, you are indeed a man who understands wabi-sabi with an old man's touch 😃read some haiku!
Sorry to both of you 🙇.
This time it is Nabekanmuri Sanjo from Kamikai.
It is a sake from Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
I think Aladdin-san was drinking
I think he was drinking the first daughter.
I went to Shiga at the end of summer vacation.
I got the third daughter.
Where is the second daughter that remains?
I drink it cold.
It is a dark light nigori.
From the large fizzy feeling to the creamy mouthfeel,
The unique aroma is like a cheese-like water yeast, and a dense grapefruit sweet and sourness penetrates through the apple honey-like sweetness. The aftertaste is clean and crisp with a sourness and bitterness.
If I were to use an analogy, it tastes like biting into the core of an apple. The reason why I think it is surprisingly cohesive is because of the 10% alcohol content.
The dry sweet and sour taste like a cider is addictive 🍎🫧.
re,
Sandesi goes by so fast 😱.
Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
I'm the youngest. There's a certain youngest daughter." I'm sure you're right 🤩Thank you very much 😊.
I can't wait to see who will check in the second daughter when this happens 😁.
Hello, Aladdin. The first daughter is a tomboy and the third daughter is actually an adult. That makes me wonder about the second daughter's character 😆.
Hi Peco 🐦.
Kore is delicious 😻Me too, my third daughter, and Aladdin and maybe Nemuchi, my eldest daughter. I've never seen the second daughter! We all need to look for the second daughter 😆.
Good evening, Pon. The third girl was a delicious dish that ended up being crispy 😆 And I didn't realize there was such a high percentage of eldest girls in the Kansai branch 😳 I would love to meet the second girl!
