Tonight, we chose this one for our weekend dinner 💁.
Wakanami NAMICAN Aru Sake 2024BY✨
I'm not sure if it's related to NAMICAN or not, but I bought it because I was curious about it. I'm not sure, but I was curious so I bought it 👛.
I was curious about it, so I bought it 👛. Apparently, the specs are secret (I only know it's junmai-shu), so I tried a blind tasting.
From the standing aroma, it smells like muscat and cucumber with sourness and freshness. The taste is also characterized by a beautiful acidity, and the umami of the rice can be felt later on, making it a good aperitif and aperitif 👍 and I can't stop drinking 😅😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Apparently, if you roll up the front etiquette, the specs are revealed, but here's what I expect.

Answer Matching (Spoiler)

Yesterday, when I went to the Expo Park, I found an event called Curry EXPO 😇.
So today I'm going to the Expo Park to participate in the Curry Expo again 😀.
Now, which sake shall I serve with it ❓🤣.
I like to pair curry with sparkling sake, but today I happened to see a friend of mine drinking a bottle of sake from Jukinmu, so I brought along a sparkling light nigori made with rice from our own Jukinmu sake rice 😇.
It doesn't have much of an aroma, but the unique sparkling bubbles bring together the flavors of the curry deliciously😇.
Sake and curry are both delicious😇
There were 30 curry stores, but Kaorin and I each selected 2 stores to compare 4 different sake curries🤣.
Each of the four curries tasted different, but Wakanami's Jukinmu Sparkling Nigori complemented all the curries deliciously😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
The sake you said you were going to drink was Wakanami 🎵and it's sparkling~🍾.
The label is cool too 👍️
It seems to go well with the Curry Expo 😋.
Good evening, Yasube-san 🌛I had no idea that sake goes well with curry 😳Wakanami's Kotobuki Sparkling is good 🍶Wakanami's label design is also my favorite: ✨️
Hi, ma-ki-chan 😀
In my opinion, Wakanami is the only one that comes to mind when I think of Jukinmu 🤣.
The other labels of Wakanami are very simple, but only Sparkling Usunigori has a clear and cool label😇.
Hi Nao888 😀
In my opinion, sake goes well with curry 🤣.
In my family, we only eat curry with roux and not much rice, so the rice nuance of sake might be a substitute for rice 🤣.
Hi Yasubeyesan 🐦!
The curry looks delicious 😻It seems to go well with Wakanami's light nigori! I'm eating it while saying that curry has turmeric in it, so it would be good for my liver if I have it with alcohol 😂.
Hi Pon 😀
I believe that nigori sake with a strong aroma of rice will always go well with curry 🤣.
But still, with 30 curry stores lined up, it's hard to decide which one to try😅.
Tonight is "Wakanami" 🍶.
I found a bottle of Wakanami that is not a standard sake and brought it along 😊.
I opened the bottle and smelled the aroma...
It was the first time I could identify the fruit so clearly 😅.
It was that strongly banana.
The taste is a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness in harmony with the petitiveness of the raw sake 😋.
Not too sweet and not too sour 🙆It really has a good balance.
The second day, the acidity became a little milder and the sweetness was a little closer, but it was still a well-balanced and easy to drink bottle 😋.
Good evening, Mr. Baum! I was curious when I saw a post by Wakanami Sake Brewery that their Jugemu sake was so popular that they brewed an additional bottle! I was curious about it when I saw a post by Wakanami Sake Brewery saying that they brewed more Jugemu sake because it was so popular! (I can't seem to get it here at all 🥲) Jugemu is a remarkable sake rice 😳.
Hi Termat😊I didn't know that. I was completely unaware of this 😅The Kangiku before that was also Kotobukijiminmu, so it must be the sake rice from ⤴️ that is gaining popularity. It's something to keep an eye on 😊.
Hello Mr. Baum 😃
We first drank Wakanami at the end of 2021 🧐I didn't seem to notice the sweet banana-like aroma 🍌 at that time 😅I may have a chance to try it again here 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby😊The Wakanami I got before didn't have the banana feeling 😅I guess the sake rice and production method is different from the standard 😅.
For me it was my first banana🍌😋.
Hi Mr. Baum 😊
I compared the sake rice called Kotobukijinmu, Eikofuji, Kangiku and Wakanami... They were all delicious, but my favorite was the second day of Wakanami 💕It was just so well balanced and delicious 😍.
Hi Tsubu-chan 😊Jyujiminmu is the rice of choice for sake...so many different breweries carry it....
I would love to get a bottle of Eikoufuji and compare the two 😋I know what you mean about the second day of Wakanami✨⤴️😋It was definitely delicious😍.
I'm supposed to have a light drink? 😆
I bought a bottle of sake when I stopped by Fukuoka, one of the sake I couldn't easily buy in my hometown.
I think I drank it a few times, but the blue label lured me in😊.
It's not flashy, but it's so juicy!
It's got just enough umami to keep me from getting tired of drinking it, and I finished half of it in no time at all...
Oh no, I have to stop here 😱.
Already hard to find, but this is our first pickup. This may be the strongest 1,100 yen ever. It has the potential to surpass the Banjo Kotobuki Shiboritate Nama Sake. Modern food sake, it goes with everything. You don't have to think about pairings anymore. I think I'm in the mood for fukino-tou tempura. Ultimately, if all you have is salt, it's endless. Of course, it is also great on its own.
Good morning, screaming butterflies 😃!
Congratulations on your first time in Fukuoka 🎉We drink Wakanami, but I haven't had the delicious one that goes for 1100 yen by itself 🥲I'll take you there when I see you!
Thank you, Jay & Nobby! I've been re-drinking it. It's so-so sweet😅but it's gassy and sharp😊I was drunk after drinking a lot of Shinomine yesterday, so I may have overindulged 😂.
