Purchased at the September Icoma tasting.
It is a cross between No. 9 yeast and No. 18 yeast.
Mild but fruity ginjo aroma. It is sweet but dry.
Seemed a bit sweeter at the tasting, but maybe it's the temperature range 🤔.
It tastes sweeter and more delicious at room temperature.
I think it can be heated up as well.
Purchased at a recent tasting.
I have not had Chiyoda Kura for a long time. It is slightly sparkling, fruity, and sweet. It has a nice, exquisite taste, but not too sweet.
But I think it tasted better at the tasting 🤔.
The taste is a little strange💦.
I transferred it to a Sandesi and it softened a bit...
I thought I would go to the Expo at least once, but I didn't end up going 🙄.
I only heard the sound of the fireworks from home because it's pretty close in a straight line 🎆.
But I went to the Osaka Kansai National Art Festival, which was held during the same period as the Expo, for a three-day weekend! It's the autumn of art 🎨.
I went to Reshaped Reality: 50 Years of Hyperrealist Sculpture ✨️
I don't think I'll have another chance to see all the works at once in Kansai 🤔.
I was allowed to take pictures, but some of the pieces were so visible that I couldn't post them on the internet 🫣.
I was very satisfied with the realistic sculptures as I had wanted to see them for a long time 😊.
The exhibition was good but the venue, Osaka Culture Museum/Tempozan, which used to be Suntory Museum, was a disappointment 😅.
It seems that it is now run by a Chinese company, and there are souvenir shops and cat cafes with products that only foreigners would buy 🙄.
It's a Tadao Ando's building...
At the usual restaurant
As the weather has cooled down considerably, it is now the season for hiya-otoshi
It's the season to enjoy Hiyadoroshi. I'm sure you'll enjoy it 😆.
The first cup was recommended by the proprietress.
The brewer told us that they took a lot of effort to make it so that it can be served in its original state without adding water.
The brewer told me that they had to work very hard to make it so that it could be served in its original state without being watered.
It is sweet and tastes like aged sake even though it is hiyaoroshi.
It tastes like aged sake. It is a very good sake.
The master landlady went to Ginzan Onsen (hot spring) and brought back some homemade konnyaku and surume (dried squid).
and brought back home homemade konnyaku and surume (dried cuttlefish).
and sea bream. They go well together. ☺️
Icoma Sake Shop Chiyoda warehouse tasting event (2)
We divided the tasting into two groups because there were many 😅.
From now on, we will start with the type of sake to be drunk at room temperature or warmed up.
Special Junmai Genjyu Fukunohana Autumn Agari
When I tasted it before, I thought it was sweet and tasty, but maybe because I drank it after the raw sake, I felt it was quite spicy.
It was originally a candidate for purchase, but I decided not to go for it this time.
Special Junmai Nama-hai Fukunohana
It has a strong sense of maturity. It also has a lot of color.
Raisin-like withered flavor.
It is like a Tottori sake. The acidity is quite strong.
Quite a bit of 🫶? Maybe.
This should definitely be heated.
I had a sake warmer but didn't drink it heated this time💦.
Special Junmai Nama-junmai Yamahai Kitanishiki
More mature than the Yamahai Fukunohana and less mature, but both are said to have been aged for about 3 years.
The Kitanishiki is easier to drink, but the Fukunohana has more impact.
I was quite confused and bought two out of the seven varieties after being allowed to drink them again 😊.
Icoma Sake Shop Chiyoda warehouse tasting (1)
The first appearance of Chiyoda warehouse at Icoma tasting event
Mr. Ikeda, a famous sales representative, was here. 👓️
We drank
Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Fukunohana
It tasted sweet and juicy, but I think it's the type of taste that everyone can enjoy. He said it was their signature product.
Special Junmai Nama Nama Shu Fukunohana light nigori
It tastes like the first one with a fizzy taste.
It left the biggest impression on me.
Junmai Daiginjo-nama-genshu Fukunohana
More subdued than the special junmai, but sweet and tasty, with a sense of body.
Junmai Daiginjo Nama-Genshu Fukunohana light nigori
I had this a few years ago. It was even better than then.
It's like a regular Junmai Daiginjo with an extra bubbly taste.
Chiyoda Kura's concept seems to be a food sake, but I thought there were many types that could be drunk well on their own.
Good evening, bouken-san.
I was surprised to see so many FUKU-NO-HANA in the Hyogo brewery.
I have the impression that FUKUNOHANA is sweet and tasty, so I would like to try a variety of it 😊.
Hi Matsuchiyo-san ☀☀☀☀.
He said he tried to have other products but with fukunohana 😊.
I think they are probably the brewery that uses fukunohana the most in Japan 🤔.
I think if you drink fukunohana from Takezumi, it will change your image of sweetness 😁.
On Sunday the 21st, I went to the Mikage Local Sake Festival!
Seven breweries from Mikage Township gathered in a long shopping street.
This was the second time I participated in the festival, following the first one in April.
First of all, here is FUKUNOHANA.
Oh, it is a light nigori. It has a firm flavor. It also has a sweetness, but I guess this is the Wasanbon, which I have recently memorized (lol).
It's the beginning of a delicious festival!
Daikoku Masamune Shiboritate Aged Sake
I forget for a moment, but I think it was called "matured sake"....
I forget the name, but I think they called it "matured sake"... It's freshly squeezed, but it's matured sake.
The person who poured the sake for us was the owner of "Hamadaya, a local sake and wine shop!
He distributes sake on YouTube.
Everyone, please stop by when you visit Mikage!
Enjoying delicious sake with the brewery 2025⑤.
Chiyoda Kura's booth.
Chiyoda Kura Junmai Gohyakumangoku Hitotsubunhi
This is the fruity type of sake, so we tasted it. It has a soft mouthfeel. It has a sour taste with a clean aftertaste.
◉Chiyoda Kura Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Nama Nigori Fukunohana Usu Nigori
Slightly fruity, slightly acidic light nigori. The orikori brings a hint of sweetness to the finish.
◉Chiyoda-kura Junmai Daiginjo Nama-Nagarizake Fukunohana
The most obvious, fruity and sweet. The sweetness and umami are not sweetened by the sharpness.
I forgot to take a picture...
◉Chiyoda-kura Junmai-genshu Kuro-usagi R4ver.
This is a junmai sake brewed in Yamahai style and aged in sherry casks. The aroma is unique, with caramel, nutty, and chocolate notes. It has a strong astringency that lingers on the tongue, making it a little bitter.
◉Chiyoda Kura NOBEL PANDA
A noble sake with a hint of maturity. It has a slight aged taste. The taste is not too strong for a kijo-zake.
Chiyoda Kura also has a barrel-aged version.
Chiyoda-kura Junmai Nama-nihanashu Fukunohana 70 - 2,750 yen
I'm going on a business trip to Kansai from today‼️ and looking for good sake at my favorite liquor store tonight 🍺∩(´^w^h^h^h^h^h) ∩🍺.
Among the delicious sake lined up, I chose this one tonight from the three cheapest ones. ‼️
For snacks, we went to the usual supermarket and got hinepon, bamboo rings, tofu, etc. ‼️
The aroma is a unique sweet smell of rice. I wonder if this is fukunohana 🤔 but it looks delicious 🤤The initial attack is full of sweetness of rice and slowly turns to dryness with a long lingering taste 😁.
This taste for this price is cosy 💕︎ and yet it varies so much depending on the type of rice ‼️ study study study every day 🤯.
Chiyoda Kura, a new brand newly handled by Icoma
I was allowed to try a sample!
I was told that this product is not yet in stock.
I've almost never had fire-brewed Chiyoda Kura 🤔.
The taste is clean and refreshing.
I think it has a strong acidity. It's like a summer sake.
I also had a bottle of FUKUNOHANA HITOTSUHI but forgot to take a picture💦.
