A cool, green apple-like aroma.
Smooth textured but fresh taste.
New sake! It has a new sake-like feel.
The alcohol content is a bit hard,
The sharpness is crisp and easy to drink.
Cost performance.
This one might go well with meat (with tuna on top of rice).
Taste degree☆3.5/5
It has been a long time since I have been on the road, but I have been drinking well!
But I've been taking a lot of pictures, so my memory is pretty short, so I'll just leave this as a reminder: ‼️
Now, let's start with the aroma!
I don't remember 、、、、、
Then a sip!
、、、、、 I remember it tasted a bit bitter and I didn't like it that much.
Sweetness swells and bitterness by the time it passes the throat on the tongue when swallowed
Delicious 😋

Lunch on my day off work.
Haven't had it in a while 😋Yoshinoya's beef plate set meal🐃.
Shichiken is a famous sake from Yamanashi Prefecture.
Shichiken's Shichikenjin series is a limited edition sake from the brewery.
Shichiken has a gorgeous image, but it has a slightly dry taste with a refreshing aftertaste.
Shichiken and Hiyoroshi are now open 🎉.
This one was a gift from 💁♀️
I can tell from the specs on the back label that it's not my favorite flavor.
Because it's more dry... 💧.
I would definitely not buy it myself 👛.
But Shichiken itself I like ❣️
And the Ichiban Shibori just released was delicious when I drank it last year 😉.
I'll have to drink hiyaoroshi now that I have it!
Well then, I'll toast with trepidation 🥂.
First, the aroma.
Not much of an aroma!
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the beautiful watery sensation that is typical of Nanaken, and there is a slight sweetness that is more than you expected. There is no sense of gas, and in the second half, the spicy and astringent taste slowly fades away.
I see what you mean 🧐.
It's not too dry for being prepared for dryness, and it was surprisingly drinkable 😅.
I can't drink it in a gulp, but I can drink it while savoring it slowly as a food sake 🤗.
I thought it was such a versatile food sake because the water is so clean that it enhances the food and makes it taste even better 👍.
Shichiken is beautiful after all 🥰.
It's a very good quality sake with a good price tag.
I still think I'll buy the new sake Ichiban Shibori as well. ☺️
But there are so many new sake I want: ‼️
I've been thinking about sake every day lately, consulting with my fridge 🤣.
Good morning, Hinahana mama 😊.
Is that the new Shichiken sake...looks delicious😄
I really have so many sake I want, it's hard to find a place to store them😅.
Hina Hana Mama
Good morning...
Welcome to the door to dryness! 😘
Shichiken is cosy! It tastes beautiful and delicious! This hiyayoroshi is one of the best in Shichiken 🤩I wonder if the new sake is good too 🤔Consult with your fridge 😅.
Hi Kano 😃Thank you for your comment.
I feel Shichiken has really beautiful water, so I thought Hiyayogoshi is also delicious. ❣️ I highly recommend the first pressing of new sake, please 🤗.
Hi Kozou 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
I'm not at the dry entrance yet 😅I agree that Nanaken is delicious 🥰 but the new sake Ichiban Shibori wins hands down over Hiyahoroshi in my opinion 🙌!
Good evening, HinaHanaMama-san. I am also having a hard time because even though I think I have enough space to store new sake, I still end up buying sake other than new sake when I find something I am interested in. It's getting colder in the mornings and evenings in Kumamoto, so I'm getting into the mood. I want to drink Shichiken.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛I thought the label didn't look like you, but it was a gift from you. ☺️I didn't know that even dry hiyaoroshi can be drunk well, so I'll keep an eye out for Nanaken🤤I've never had it, so I'll keep an eye out for it✨.
AAJI, good evening😄Thank you for your comment.
The season of new sake has come. ❣️ I'm doing my best to organize my fridge...but it's not easy...😅There are many new sake from Kyushu that I want to drink 😘Shichiken is also highly recommended👍.
Nao888, good evening 😄Thanks for your comment!
It was a good experience for me because I would never buy it for myself ⭕️ but I guess I'm still not ready for dry sake 😅I'm still thinking about the new sake nigori I want to drink 😆 what should I buy 👛.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
Oh😳I see you got the dry one 👍As expected of Shichiken, even the dry one looks easy to drink ✨This time of year I have so many sake I want 😅I have to consult with my fridge 🤣.
Yay - it's fall 🍂😊.
It's the season for new sake!
The cellar is getting lonely so I went to Horiichi for new sake 😁.
First time to try Shichiken's first sake 😊.
Is the water indeed clean?
Beautiful sake 🍶😊😊😊😊
Honjozo is the result of saving money due to long trips to Yamanashi, Nagano, and Shizuoka.
However, it is sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent with a well-balanced sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent taste.
Drink it with horse-meat carpaccio from the same region and you will appreciate its deliciousness.
Sake, after all, goes best with local food.
Citiken Shoshu
When I opened it and drank it, it had a lemon and melon feel to it, and when I drank it, it was definitely orange and a little spicy.
Mukaihide is a limited edition of the brewery. It is named after the seven wise men.
It dates back to a pair of ranma (columns) of "Seven Wise Men of the Bamboo Grove" presented by Surugamori Naito of the Takato clan at the time of the founding of the brewery.
These ranma still remain in the main house of the Kitahara family, which was designated as "Gyozaisho" when the Meiji Emperor stayed there, and are the cultural asset from which the sake's name "Shichiken" was derived.
Drinking at home
Bought it without realizing it was sparkling lol
But it tastes even better than I imagined!
I guess it's not too sweet.
It says so on the label.
Lightly cloudy and the bubbles are so beautiful!
