The last? is Kirinzan A refreshingly light and dry sake. You can drink it all the time. There are other drinks, but unfortunately I don't have a picture of them nor can I remember them. Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Today is Nigori no Hi? (25th) eve. I had a Kirinzan. It has no effervescence, but when you pour it into a glass, it is very fizzy. The alcohol content is 14 degrees. A little low. It has a gentle flavor, but it is dry and refreshing. The nigorigo has a variety of flavors, and it is delicious.

Today I opened a bottle of sake that I received. It is light, sharp and delicious. It goes well with a club sandwich. The label says Denkara ❔❔❔❔.

Super dry and very tasty! This is my first Kirinzan and it is very tasty! I thought that people who like dry sake would like it because it has a tangy, spicy taste!

☀️ Kirinzan🌲 at 🏔️ is "My Fantastic Food Sake". And this restaurant is so thorough that the barrel sake is served in Masu. Let's match it with your meal right away 🤗. First of all, Kirinzan 🏔️ Simple dry taste 😙. It has a simple dry taste, with little sweetness and a light, refreshing taste. The aroma of the barrels fuses with it and adds a touch of color ✨. Taro with Soboro (minced taro) Kirinzan 🏔️ brings out the sweetness of the taro. The ginger on top adds a nice accent 🫚. The delicious taste of Kirinzan 🏔️ stands out 😋. The richness of the sauce is brought out by mixing in the Soboro, and the satisfaction is explosive 😊. Octopus Tempura When the delicious taste of the octopus comes in a jolt, we will have a glass of Kirinzan 🏔️ 😌. It cools down the hot tempura and prevents burns 🤚🔥. After that, the ginjo aroma will pass through your nose and the muhu feeling from the hoku hoku is unbearable ☺️ Fried lotus root with clams The lotus root, meat, and kirinzan 🏔️ juices fuse together and become juwah~. ☺️ The oiliness is swept away and the lotus root is pure delicious 😋. I squeezed some lemon juice over the lotus root and the sourness of the lemon juice was emphasized, making it a new kind of fried lotus root 🤩. My fantastic food sake, Kirinzan🌲 is indeed a barrel of Kirinzan🌲 🤗.

Hi Hiro 😃 I had Kirinzan once and it's beautifully spicy ✨Keg sake! So it's the real thing as opposed to keg draft? Taro, octopus and lotus root while drinking from a Masu is fantastic 😍.

Good evening, ichiro18 😃. It's a real barrel sake ❗️ and since it's Masu, the food and the smell of cedar match nicely 😁 It's good to just drink Kirinzan with Masu, so if you have a chance, ichiro18, please do 😆.

Good evening, Hiro 😃. Maifan Sake is only a food sake that you can also enjoy the aroma and the taste of the meal as well as the sake review ‼️ I think you can be a cookery researcher too 🙂. Looking forward to your publication 📙😊.

It is said to be a standard sake for local people in Niigata, and is positioned like Hana-no-Mai "Tsu" in Hamamatsu. After the umami and slight sweetness of the rice on the palate, the slightly dry taste quickly fades away with the acidity. It is a regular sake, but it is clearly of a higher level, and has no quirks that make it a good match for anything. No wonder it has become a regular.

Drink cold Slightly sweet aroma Delicious, robust rice flavor in the mouth. It becomes more profound when warmed. Taste quickly fades and a strong dryness appears, but it does not last long. The raw smell of squid sashimi is quickly washed away, and the sweetness is enhanced.

Brand name] Kirinzan Potari Potari <Gohyakumangoku>. Sake Brewer] Kirinzan Shuzo (Aga-machi, Higashikanbara-gun, Niigata) Type of Sake: Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo (Unblended Sake) Rice] Gohyakumangoku (Niigata Prefecture) Rice polishing ratio] 55 Alcohol content】17%. Sake Cup】Inoguchi Aroma】+1.5 (Green apple, white peach, rummy) Appearance】Crystal [Taste] [Mouthfeel Body: 2.0 Acidity: 2.0 Sweetness: 1.5 Umami: 1.5 Bitterness: 1.5 Aftertaste: Medium. The sweetness and acidity quickly cut through, leaving a slight bitterness. Impression] Fresh and fruity, yet light. This is a new sake from Kirinzan, a favorite from the jacket. It is a fresh sake contrary to its usual classical taste. It has the freshness and fruitiness of a nama sake on top of the lightness of a so-called Niigata sake. It has a base of lightness typical of Gohyakumangoku, but it also has the thickness of a 17% sake. It is a well-balanced "light and juicy" sake. Repeat Score] 2.0
