I finished my work for this year.
I need a drink after a refreshing visit to the beauty parlor 😋.
First visit to RIKI's standing bar Koriki, which opened last week!
First visit to standing bar Koriki!
It is very stylishly designed, with a counter and two tables that can accommodate 6 or 7 people.
In summer, you can drink outside.
There were many other drinks on the menu besides Sake, but I only had my eyes on the Sake 😅.
There were about 10 kinds of sake listed on the blackboard.
All priced at 600 yen per glass (Shinmasa, Tasake, Sansho, Jikin are all the same)
I had the Jikin first!
It had a fresh gassy, 🍍-like aroma and sweetness.
It has a full-bodied umami flavor and finishes nicely 😍.
Jikin is a stable flavor after all 😁.
This delicious Jikin is 1000 check-ins 🎉!
It seems like it was a long time, but it went by so fast...
Now that I've reached the end, I'll take it easy from here on 😁.
Hi TOMO 😃
Congratulations on 1000 check-ins 🎉.
I'm so happy you finally reached the 1000 check-in mark! I had a bottle of Jikin's Hachigannishiki the other day and it was pineapple 🍍 great ✨Koriki is cheap 😍.
Congratulations on your 1000 check-ins, TOMO: ㊗️🎊🎉!
Finally, you have reached the hermit status!
Sake-no-wa is a tool for enjoying sake, so let's have fun with it 😊.
Have a wonderful sake life 🍶!
Hello, TOMO!
Thank you for finishing your work 🍀.
And congratulations on your 1000 check-ins 🎉!
You've reached a big milestone: ⤴️
Such a milestone for you 😍 Hachikansei is the best!
I was shocked when I had my first Hachikan!
Congratulations tomo on finishing the year's work & reaching 1000 check-ins 🎉🎊and finally breaking the big mark! 😆Please keep on drinking around the country from now on 🤣Koriki is a pretty conscientious store 😊.
Congratulations on your 1000 check-in✅ mark, TOMO 🎊🎉!
Newly opened standing bar at the milestone, and now, the matching KIRIKI number. ❗️RIKI from Koriki is also a good name for you 🤣.
The Ko-Imari Belloli was delicious and we had about 3 more cups, and to finish... for some reason they had Jikin, so we went with Jikin ✨.
It has a good balance of umami and acidity and is a delicious sake as a food sake 😊.
I didn't expect to find sake at a yakiniku horumon restaurant 😳
My wife was also satisfied with the sake with yakiniku 😊.
This is a good choice instead of Italian, French, etc. 🤩.
Good morning, Kano!
A good date on Christmas Eve with a hormone yakiniku!
I guess the Ko-Imari Nanagori was just like that 🤤.
And the Jikin-sama special pure sake to finish off the meal is the best 😍!
Jikin Omachi 2023
We finally opened a bottle that we had been putting away for a long time 🍶✨.
We won it in a lottery but didn't have time to drink it, so we had to wait until it was matured before we could drink it. I was a little nervous and excited.
When poured into a glass, the clear, transparent color is very beautiful, and the aroma is clean with a gentle sweetness.
In the mouth, a fresh aroma reminiscent of muscat spreads, and while it has the full flavor typical of Omachi, it is surprisingly smooth. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced, and the aftertaste is smooth and refreshing.
The entire wine is rounded out by the aging process, and the high degree of perfection is realized once again.
After all, Jikin does not betray you. It was a bottle that honestly made me think, "It's delicious after all!
Good morning, Choro-san!
I read your review of Jikin-sama's Omachi and I must say it is delicious 🤤.
The aged Jikin-sama also looks delicious 😍.
I'm also wondering when I'm going to open the Jikin-sama I won this year😅
It maintains the sweet and fruity taste of Jikin, but has less rice umami due to the Hachitan-Nishiki, and has a clear and pure sake quality, with a slightly strong bitterness and miscellaneous tastes, which is good to enjoy as a variation if you are bored with the usual Jikin.
Year 2025...today is the last day of work 😆.
Well...I've done a lot of things this year 😅
Well, the sake I'm bringing for the end of the year... this is the only brand that applies to me anymore ‼️🤭
That is... Jikin... 🤤.
I've had a lot of Jikin, but this "light nigori" is the best of all the Jikin I've had.
The happiness of being able to drink it in the comfort of my own home... I'm really grateful to the liquor store this year as well 🙏.
Now then... here we go: ❗️
It was stirred by itself a little after I opened it 😅(see the picture).
The aroma is not that strong but it has a slight lemon-like sourness🤔.
The sweetness is also exquisite 🍋.
No wonder it won first place🥇 in sakenomy...it was so delicious that it surpassed the Mimuro Cedar I drank yesterday😰.
The moment it hits the palate, it's like a sizzle... the harmony of sweet and savory flavors spreading through the mouth... the clean crispness... 🥰... it's perfect....
It's perfect...well, maybe this was too luxurious for the end of the workday😅.
Jikin....yummy... 🤤.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆
I was torn between the Hachitan-Nishiki Nama... and this one, but I went for the Nigori Sake that I had already acquired 🍶.
I was still very pleased with the stability of the Jikin, which did not disappoint... 😍
Today's sake is a sake made with Yamada Nishiki from Jijikin, as the Jyushidai Bessen we drank today was made with Yamada Nishiki❗️
The aroma is fresh and sweet❗️As you take a sip, after the dense texture, there is a sharp numbness on the tip of the tongue, and a fruity feeling spreads in the mouth❗️Good sake❤️ compared to Jyushidai, it leaves a little numbness on the palate⁉️

Xmas at the Shinmachi branch 🎄
We are here to greet you for the last time this year 🚶.
The first sake was a Nigori from Jigokin, a legend in the Nigori Sake world.
We are very happy to see you here from a nigorist's point of view 🍶.
The appearance is a beautiful white light nigori with a slight green tinge and a sense of transparency.
The aroma is ripe, sweet and mildly refreshing.
Euphoric sweet aromas of ripe banana and ripe peach.
There are also subtle hints of white flowers and color.
Fresh and rich rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake.
When you drink it, you will find a smooth texture with a slight viscosity and a chili chili gas feeling.
It has a melon-like sweetness with just the right amount of density and freshness, which is balanced by a soft Japanese citrus acidity.
This is the taste of Jikin, and it makes you groan. ☺️
The soft but firm umami of the rice flows and disappears with the sweetness of the fragrance and flavor, while also giving a sense of coolness.
It has a beautiful bitter aftertaste with a full-bodied flavor when swallowed.
We also tried it hot (🍶).
Aroma of cooked rice and a sense of alcohol release.
The sweetness is thicker and the umami is thicker, and the plump umami combined with the mellowed sweetness is intoxicating.
It was drunk again this year. ☺️
Hi Aladdin 😃
A firm end of the year greeting! It's important 😊
Legendary Jikin🥹I've only had it once🥲I'd like to try heated sake🍶 if I ever come across it again😌.
Christmas sake 🍶 followed by Jikin's special junmai namaishu😊The aroma is very beautiful, like melon or apple! The aroma is very beautiful, like melon or apple! It is a nama-shu, but it does not feel sharp. The aftertaste is also very clean and pleasant. This is another sake that I never get tired of drinking. Delicious 😄.
