☀️
Bottled in January 2025 🤔.
I've let the raw sake sit for a long time 🤗.
It's a mild, tender sweetness with a stickiness that's not unlike Jikin ☺️
It's like honey 🍯.
Wow, it's very sweet 😅
It doesn't have the clear throat feeling that is typical of Jikin.
I tried it as a trial, but it was a great change in range that didn't meet my "I want to drink Jikin" feeling 😂.
Fresh fruity aroma.
It is soft, unctuous, and glossy-sweet in the mouth!
Delicacy is felt.
Alcohol poka-poka in the throat after swallowing.
The depth of complex, subtle bitter astringency.
It is dense, yet beautifully extended.
It is a luscious taste all by itself.
It is amazing.
My favorite 5/5 stars.
I changed the icon to an ideal Izakaya penguin,
It is plain as a thumbnail.
Jikin Daiginjo Doubottori Nationwide Exhibit Gold Medal Winner Sake
Rating 4.6-4.7
Rice: Yamadanishiki from Iga, Polishing ratio: 40%, Alcohol content: 16
This Daiginjo-shu won the gold medal at the 2024 National New Sake Competition. It is made in a tobin.
Its delicate aroma and rich flavor brighten the senses. The sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki. Elegant sugar candy style. The tobin-tori version has an even more mellow sweetness and umami.
Jikin Special Junmai Nama
Rating 4.4
Rice: Gohyakumangoku (80%), Yamadanishiki (20%), Polishing ratio: 60%, Alcohol content: 15.5%.
It has a beautiful, fresh aroma and a medium body that reflects the deliciousness of the rice, from which fresh fruitiness (green apple flavor, for example) emerges beautifully for a long time.
Fresh, a little more perky. Juicy. A lingering pungent bitterness.
Jikin Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Hiire
Rated 4.4-4.5
Rice: Senbon-Nishiki from Hiroshima Prefecture, Polishing ratio: 50%, Alcohol: 15.5%, Sake Scale: -1, Acidity: 1.6
It has a berry aroma, a full body, and a smooth cut with the presence of acidity. Slightly ripe with a hint of autumn.
Orange citrus. Slightly spicy and bitter.
- When poured into a wine glass, it has a fruity aroma like pineapple‼️ In the mouth, it has a gentle sweetness with a great acidity and is easy to drink❣️ very delicious⤴️
It is very difficult to bring home "Jikin" 🍶.
I found it at the store, so of course I'll have it: ☺️
The fresh muscat aroma gently wafts through the air ✨.
Very smooth on the palate, with a really nice balance of umami, sweetness and acidity ✨.
It's juicy and very tasty with a slight gasiness 😋.
I love you for the perfection of all the flavors ♬.
It's not only great on its own, but it's also an excellent food wine and goes well with all kinds of food 🐟.
No wonder it's so popular and hard to find, but it's a brand I'd like to bring along someday 🍶 (definitely at a fixed price).
Good evening, Joker!
Jikin-sama is really well balanced 😋.
When I was drinking special junmai, I think all I could say was "yum" 🤤.
I would definitely drink it if I met you out drinking 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan!
I was really saying "yum" a lot lol.
I enjoyed every last drop of the food 🍶.
I've secretly decided that I'll definitely take you home someday ❗️ ☺️
This is an outstandingly delicious sake, and my friend purchased it around April of this year. It was kept at room temperature for a while, but after refrigeration, the wonderful flavor was enhanced and the taste was clean yet robust. It is indeed a tokkagami omachi!
Jikin Daiginjo Yanase
Rating 4.6
Rice: Yamadanishiki from Iga, Polishing ratio: 40%, Alcohol content: 16
This Daiginjo-shu won the gold medal at the 2024 National New brew of sake competition.
One sip and the delicate aroma and rich flavor will brighten your senses. Yamada-Nishiki, sweet and mellow. To the elegant sugar candy style. Delicious in an orthodox way.
I have wanted to try this sake for a long time. There were only a few stores that carried it, and I was finally able to find it. It was advertised as having a juicy flavor, but I was not that impressed, and the sake had a natural taste.
