Purchased as a souvenir from a trip to Kyoto in January 🍶.
Sake with a strong acidity and a robust mouthfeel. It has a concentrated flavor and would be delicious with crisp foods ✨.

First time to drink this brand!
I bought this because I wanted to drink a dry, refreshing sake from Kyoto and was attracted by the fresh bottle and label 😊.
The smell after opening the bottle is fresh and citrusy, with hints of lemon and green apple! It also feels like ramune.
When I put it in my mouth and let the air in, the citrusy aroma comes in, and then the spiciness rushes in!
This spiciness is not strong, but it comes on slowly and lightly, and the aftertaste lasts for quite a long time!
The acidity is weak.
It has a slight cemedine-like flavor.
After the second day, I thought of heating up the sake, but I finished it 🤣.
As you can see on the top of the 4th photo, it contains lees, which I think is one of the reasons why it tastes so good 😚.
Yum!
Hello, Koizo 😃
Tomio! I've never seen it before, but it seems to mean 'those who are rich in spirit will be happy in their later years' 🥹The citrus-scented dry sake is my favorite one 😋I think I need to drink it for my old age 😙.

Good morning...
I had never seen it before either 😳I picked it up because I was bibbified by the specs the liquor store was showing 🤣This clear dry wine is quite tasty 🥰I like the meaning of the brand name 👍.
Pon.
Good morning!
I had always imagined Kyoto sake to be dry and refreshing, but it was even better than that 🥰I tend to avoid local sake because it's always available 💦I'm impressed again by J&N's love for their hometown 🤩.
Today's third drink?
The Kitagawa Honke in Kyoto started their immediate sales today! Due to the snow, it was delayed by a day, and we were able to get the sake in today just in time: ☺️
Sake is a little bit firm on the tongue.
Sweet plum aroma.
After the gentle sweetness goes around the palate, the acidity comes in gently. Sweetness prevails.
Gentle sweetness comes with plum aroma.
The mellow sweet and sour taste is pleasant, just like first love, which is the meaning of the name "Premiere Amour".
Fruity and fresh. The flavor is rich but very gentle. I wondered what a "sasai" was and looked it up. It seems to be a state of slight ooze. It sounds good. And it tastes good.
Purchased at the brewery's own store "Okina-ya".
