We received Kinjaku's Densetsu Yamahai.
This is my first Kinjaku.
I first learned about Kinjaku this year.
I had heard that it was hard to find, so I was hoping to come across it someday, when I found it on the regular shelf at my favorite liquor store.
When I tried it, I found it to be as extremely delicious as rumored. Despite its squidgy appearance, it is juicy, sweet and fruity, with a pineapple-like flavor. It is not my intention to mention other brands when commenting on sake, but my first thought was Hana-yoso. It has an atmosphere similar to that of Kangiku, and in short, it is my favorite sake.
It is one more brand that I would definitely buy if I see it.
The last stop on our tour of the five breweries in Iwakuni was a visit to Horie Sake Brewery of Kinjaku, famous for its Golden Chun Chun in sakekawa 😀.
It's an hour's travel from Iwakuni to Nishikicho station on a local train called Seiryu Line through the Nishikigawa river valley😇.
We safely saw the sake brewery from the outside and went to the store in a different location 😀.
Inside the store, there were only samples and no products 😅.
I asked the shopkeeper if there was any product I could buy, and the shopkeeper apologetically said that he could prepare a bottle of Hisho... I almost said "I want that one", but I said calmly like an adult 🤣.
I got a bottle of Kinjaku Hisho this year, too 😇
When I was waiting for the train on my way home, I found a kiosk in the station building where they sell Kinjaku Josensen 😇.
It is distributed locally, so in a way it is more difficult to find than the hard-to-find Kinjaku that is sold at the distributors 🤣.
The rice and alcohol taste is quite stronger than the usual Kinjaku, but it still tastes great 😇
I served it with Iwakuni lotus root chips and Hofu Uiro bought at Hofu Tenmangu Shrine, but it is a delicious sake that goes well with everything 😀.
The sake we got on this Yamaguchi sake brewery tour is in the 4th picture: ❤️
Yasube-san I envy you just for Kinjaku. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed Yamaguchi sake to the fullest. Yamaguchi is one of the places on my list to visit someday.
Good morning, Yasube!
Your trip to Yamaguchi to visit sake breweries looks so fulfilling and fun, I wish I could go there too 😄.
I want to take the train 🚃 along the mountain stream to the sake breweries too 😆.
Good evening, Nochi-san 😀
I like visiting sake breweries in Yamaguchi 😀.
This time I was in Iwakuni, but next time I would like to visit Toyo Bijin in Hagi, Omine in Mine, Wakamusume in Yamaguchi, etc. 😇
Good evening, Nao888!
I had to reduce the number of bottles I bought for this, but it was impossible to refrigerate all of them 🤣.
I'm sure it's hard to buy Kinjaku in Kansai, but it's worth it if you get a chance 😇.
Hi Hiro, good evening 😀
The trip to see the mountain stream is fun on the way there, but it would have been a hard trip if we couldn't get Kinjaku-san😅.
The return train ride home while enjoying Kinjaku-san was great😇
Hi Yasbaye 🐦.
Finally, the Golden Chun Chun's storehouse, a nice finale 😊👍I can enjoy the aftermath of Yamaguchi with a variety of souvenirs ✨.
It's awesome that you got the glasses and Masu right 😆👍.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
I got the Masu at Kinjaku, but the glass was a souvenir from Otter's brewery tour 🤣.
If Kinjaku didn't get it, I probably would have been disappointed on my way home 😅.
This is the first autumn rise in a year.
It still has the same dense, full-bodied sweetness, sharp aftertaste, and sweet lingering aftertaste that leaves you feeling happy.
It is the most delicious!
It seems to be hard to buy it except at special dealers.
I definitely want you to drink Kinjaku because it has a unique, full-bodied, high-quality sweetness.
The first one we had at this drinking party was "Kinjaku Junmai Ginjo" ✨.
Because of the impact of the name, everyone called me "Chun Chun" in a friendly way 🐦 lol
Actually, although I knew the name, I had never had a chance to drink it before and this was my first experience. When I poured it into the glass, the soft aroma spread softly, and when I took a sip, it tasted sweet and mellow. It has a clean aftertaste and is very easy to drink.
It is the perfect sake to accompany pleasant conversation and delicious food. This was my first encounter with "Kinjaku" and I am sure it will be a bottle that will leave a lasting impression in the future ✨.
Customer and Yamaguchi in (1)
Yesterday, we had dinner with our customer's company in Yamaguchi.
After a toast of beer, we moved on to sake.
There is Kinjaku!
I've been to quite a few izakayas around Shin-Yamaguchi, but I've only encountered this one once!
Fresh!
Shrewd!
Both sweet and sour, pretty much. And well balanced.
Delicious 😋.
But Kinjaku doesn't have glasses or 1 gou, only 4 gou bottles 😳.
Six of us had about a cup each. I think I drank half of the bottle by myself 😂.
Good evening, Takashi!
Looks like you enjoyed your Yamaguchi Prefecture sake again last night 😁✨✨.
I'm a sucker for a well-balanced sake with a strong sweet and sour taste 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki-San 😊.
As people in Yamaguchi said, it seems you don't come across golden sparrows very often. I was lucky 🥳.
It was delicious, but I drank a little too much 🤣.
Next to Marufei is Kinjaku.
The overall color is similar, so here 💦.
No more this one.
Take a sip, hi, juicy 😆💕.
Nothing but delicious.
What is that spreading out of this mouth?
It's happiness ❤️
That's what I mean 🥰.
Hi Wakata!
Kinjaku is in my personal top 5 best sake to drink ❣️ 🍶✨
I'm longing for it without any sign of encountering it 🥹.
I want to feel the happiness spreading in my mouth 💖.
Good evening, Mr. Muro 😃Thank you for your comment on a post that I have no idea what you are talking about 💦💦Already, I can feel the deliciousness before it enters my mouth one second 🥰and when it enters my mouth, it is 5 times more juicy than expected 💕💕
T.KISO, good evening 😃Thank you for your kind comment on a post that I have no idea what you are talking about 💦If you think about it, you will find it ✨Nah, my husband is doing his best so I can find it too 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata. ♪
Golden 🐦
I drank it for the first time the other day and it was delicious😍
I've only had one kind 😭
It's nothing but delicious 🤤.
Your husband is awesome!
I'll do my best 🫡.
Good evening, Aochan 😃If your golden sparrow debut is that legendary Yasbaye family's brewery ⁉️ I'm sure you'll agree even more after another golden🐦 drink 👍It's definitely nothing but delicious 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata 😃.
Oh no, it's already so delicious 🤤.
I could tell from your post that you enjoyed the happiness brought to you by Kinjaku 🥰.
It's nice when you find a sake you like ☺️
Aladdin, good evening 😃I wonder what that euphoric feeling is when you find that sake that fits you💕I don't feel that beer tastes good, but I don't feel that it fits me so well, it's a strange but happy feeling 🥰.
Hi Waka 🐦🐦.
I only drink Golden Chun Chun raw ❣️ outside, but this is the best ✨As you said, happy taste, nectar? I feel something like that😻I'm jealous of your home drinking!
I like the hiragana "nama" 😆.
