Smooth on the palate. and a firm sweetness. The freshness that only unpasteurized sake can provide. As the label says, "sparkle degree MAX". It is a perfect taste for summer. It is made from Omachi rice grown in Okayama and polished to 50%. The alcohol content is 17 degrees.

This is the "3000" Sanzen Aroma Special Junmai Sake Omachi Hi-ire, which I received from SakeShop Kairindo through their Twitter sweepstakes. It is a delicious sake with a mild but gorgeous aroma and a robust flavor 🍶😋.

「燦然（さんぜん）」「木村式 奇跡のお酒」で知られる岡山県・菊池酒造はこれまで、五代目蔵元の菊池東（とう）さんが蔵元杜氏として酒造りをけん引。大吟醸、吟醸クラスの商品を中心に根強いファンを獲得してきました。 東さんの長男・大輔さんは、蔵に帰った2010（平成22）年から国内外の市場に販路を拡大するなど営業面の強化に奔走。蔵内の設備や体制面の整備にも力を入れ、売り上げの拡大に貢献するとともにブランド力の強化にも尽くしています。 そして2023（令和5）年9月には大輔さんが代表取締役に就任。東さんは会長に就くとともに、引き続き杜氏を兼任する形で今酒造年度を迎えました。今後の動向が注目される中、大輔さんは六代目としてどんな蔵の未来像を描き、経営していくのでしょうか。これまでの軌跡とともに紹介します。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア

Sanzen Special Junmai Omachi Souvenir from relatives😊. Today's snacks are oden🍢 and hinepon‼️ Well, let's see what kind of sake it is 🥃The aroma smells of alcohol 😨The first attack is a little sweetness of rice feeling but it has a strong bitter and spicy taste, it's the first spicy and hot sake in a long time! I wonder if this kind of sake is also good after a long time 🤔.

It is a single shot fire-refining sake made with Yamada-Nishiki. Since it is not watered down, the alcohol content is high at 18ºC. The sake is slightly dry with a sake strength of +4. The acidity is 1.9. It seems to have been drunk once before, but how does it taste? It is not particularly aromatic. The acidity is quite strong! It is a sake with a sense of freshness. It is not that fruity, but at 18 degrees Celsius, it is a heavy sake with a solid weight.　I decided to sip it while keeping some peace water by my side. ‼️

The umami comes first, then the acidity, and finally the sweetness. The sweetness is not too strong and leaves a clean aftertaste.

Alcohol content : 16.5 Rice polishing ratio : 50 Taste & Smell】*It is a hazy memory. 　In the mouth, the lightness, weight, sweetness, and spiciness are in the middle, and the delicate flavor unique to Junmai Daiginjos can be felt. Also, by the time you swallow it, you can taste the full umami that is typical of Omachi. Compared to the special junmai sake we drank before, the rice is more polished and the miscellaneous flavors seem to be reduced.

Kikuchi Shuzo has been brewing sake the traditional style since 1878. Their mastery of using Okayama's signature rice, Omachi, has been the product of obsessive production control and desire to brew the best. Its current Toji, Tou Kikuchi, still believes the perfect brew is out there somewhere; and still strives for it. - The Art of Sake We drank Sanzen! PS: The best sake, we have drunk to date.

Brilliant first time in Okayama: ✨️ Fruity and sweet aroma. It is once-hot, but it is gorgeous. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the slight carbonation. It has a juicy, mild sweetness and a moderate acidity that gradually fades away. It was quite delicious 🍶✨️

A mix of umami and bitterness with a gentle pungency as you drink it down. and bitterness, It flows down your throat, and a lingering feeling of happiness escapes from the nose.
