Sake-like, full aroma. The nose has a refreshing lime-green color. Refreshing acidity and juicy flavor. The rich flavor of rice spreads in the mouth, as is typical of nama-shu. It has a moderately pungent taste of alcohol. The finish is refreshing. Refreshing, yet delicious. Good. Degree of liking ☆4/5

☀️ It's Sub-chan, as they say 😆. I asked ChatGPT about the famous Kitajima and it was Kowske and Sabu. Well, it was as expected 🤣. It's a sub 🍶. The sweetness and sourness are well balanced. But I still think the sourness is a bit strong 🤔. There is a little bit of carbonation🫧 squishiness, which is kind of like a raw sake ❓ It ends with a bit of bitterness, which leads us to the next sip 😚. It was a bountiful enka style sake 🤣.

Hi Hiro 😃 Sabu! You made it 🤗 Bountiful Enka style 😆Hey hey ho and the cups are going to be flowing 😋. I want to make it well known along with Sake no Wa's ranking and have ChatGPT say that Kitajima is the number one sake in Shiga prefecture! I want them to say "Kitajima is the #1 Sake in Shiga Prefecture!

Thank goodness our favorite Kitajima-san ❗️ is sold at our local liquor store 😊. This is the third bottle I've had and so far all of them have been directly pumped Junmai Ginjo Nama 🤗 Each sake rice and sake degree is as shown in the ↓. First bottle: Miyamanishiki -1 Second bottle: Ginbukiyo +7 Third bottle: Yamadanishiki +10 The dryness level is getting higher and higher 🤔. I'll make love to you The aroma is ginjo 😙. The sweetness of the rice makes it easy to drink and it doesn't feel too dry, but it's easy to cut through. I'm sure this is a top Shiga Prefecture! I'm sure this is top of the line in Shiga Prefecture! Well, I was supposed to have a leisurely dinner that day, but it was so good that I finished it by 7:00 😅After that, I switched to tea and watched TV, but there was nothing interesting 😑... 😑. I thought, "Let's try some nostalgic western music...? So I switched to YouTube and watched Queen's Live Aid video! The stage was so impressive with the roaring waves of the audience 🥹It was so refreshing to see 😌.

Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌇Kitajima prefers to drink outside 😋 which means you can't rely on rankings 🤣.

Good evening, Jay and Nobby😄! Kitajima, I've never had it, but it's getting on my sake level 🙌I can't afford it 😅But if you two say it's good, I'm sure it will soon rank high on the Shiga list👍.

付喪神
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🍶. I'm so jealous that you have a store nearby that sells Kitajima. LOL There are so many delicious sake in Shiga such as Shiki, Haginodoro, Hatsuzakura, etc. 😋 The sake I thought was good is No. 1 🤗.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀. Kitajima-san is delicious, but I'm sure there are many good sake in Shiga Prefecture as well😇. Shichibon-yari is good, but lately I've been into Asakayasama 😇. Please try some other Shiga sake as well😇

Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀. We are neighboring prefectures, but we actually haven't swallowed "Kitajima" yet, I haven't seen it 😅. I wonder if it's because of the distance from the [Kitakuni Kaido] and [Saba Kaido] that connect to Fukui 🤔.
