Wow 😁.
Mecal ✨
Spicy! Sukkiri^ ^ ^
But the citrus fruitiness 🍊
The subtle bitterness is also nice ✨.
Very, very beautiful😍.
A bit expensive, but worth it ^ ^ ^.
My first Aichi Prefecture Chikara, 60% Yamadanishiki polished Yamada Nishiki, recommended.
The rice flavor and acidity is reminiscent of old sake or Shaoxing sake. It seems to be addictive for those who like it, but for me who likes fruity sake, it was too punchy. I still need more training 🧘.
Sake given to me by the owner of the yakitori restaurant I always go to.
The aroma of sake is nostalgic.
When I drank it,
It is a deep and rich sake with a strong flavor of rice.
It also has a fruity flavor.
I felt it was a connoisseur's sake!
Drinking outside at Kanbei Sake Mamoru for the 8th anniversary celebration.
This will be the first time to drink at this restaurant, too.
The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 60%.
The alcohol content is 16-17 degrees.
The aroma has a muscat aroma typical of Yamadanishiki, and gently rises to the surface.
The sake poured into the sake cup has a slight yellow tinge.
In the mouth, it has a thick and smooth texture. The strong umami spreads in the mouth, followed by an early onset of acidity and bitterness, which is followed by a slight stimulation that tightens the flavor.
Easy to drink.
Hello, Daddy Takeru 😃!
It was a good outing, starting with Shinmasa, followed by the first drink of Jiikin and Jyushiyo!
We've only been a few times, Kanbei-san, do you go there often?
Jay & Nobby, thanks for the rice 😊.
This time, because of the anniversary celebration, we reserved seats and had a drink outside.
Kanbei, I have the impression that it is very difficult to get in. I kept giving up on getting in the last few times because the restaurant was full 😅.

Three different types of drinks with different rice varieties and milling ratios. The handsome gorilla of Aichi
At one point, the price of sake skyrocketed, but Gikyo kept its original contract and continued to offer sake without regard to profitability, and was given the name "Gikyo" by a retail merchant for its spirit of "righteousness and chivalry.
