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!

Kitajima山田錦 純米吟醸 直汲み 無濾過生原酒
ジェイ&ノビィ
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 😌.

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👍.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🍶.

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 🤔.

northern island
Rice + grape aroma. Slightly sweet. Light numbness due to micro-foaming, followed by a slightly bitter taste. Refreshing in the mouth. Can be served alone or with a meal. Very tasty.
Purchased at a sake brewery.
One of the sake breweries located near the Yasu River. The area is surrounded by fields, residential areas and Calbee's industry.
Finished circumnavigation of Lake Biwa. We returned home safely and in good health. We returned home safely, although we could not say that we were.
For the first trip home, we chose this one, which somehow seemed to be the fastest one.
Kitajima Sake Brewery sells a limited edition at the end of every month, and it happened to be the day of the sale, so I bought it. Lucky me.
It seems that reservations are accepted online, but it seems that reservations are not necessary if you go to the direct sales office. But there seemed to be only one bottle left. Lucky.

Hello old man 😃

Dear Jay & Nobby
This is my first visit to Kitajima Sake Brewery and I look forward to your review as it is a limited edition. I would be happy if I could at least get a sense of the brewery's atmosphere.
I would like to know more about the brewery and its products. Please refer to the following information.

Last but not least, heated frogs😁.
I ordered this one too, attracted by the label 😁.
It's quite a dry sake 😆.
And it's also Omachi 😊.
As you drink it, it has a slight sweetness to it ☝️
But it's sharp and clean 😁.
It's delicious 😊.
Today I enjoyed it hot from beginning to end 😊.
Great night 😆.

Jay & Nobby, hello here too 😆 We both enjoyed it, with a hint of sweetness in the rest.... Hot sake on a cold day is the best 😊.

It has a clear, crisp mouthfeel, with a dry Kitajima-style flavor and a soft, umami taste of rice. The flavor increases as the temperature rises. The raw taste is moderate.

I bought Biwako no Kujira because I thought it was a brand I could not miss if I wanted to drink Shiga's sake.
My favorite liquor store introduced it to me, saying that it was a strong sake, and I was a bit intimidated because I like my sake light.
It was delicious.
It was firm but also refreshing, and I would like to drink it again.

Unique taste 🙁.
But delicious😄
The aroma is... Red wine🤔
Slightly acidic, umami and astringent.
Sweetness is strong, but it's like drinking wine 😊.
Even better with cheese 👍
A little bit addictive taste 😋😋😋.
