Good evening, chikumo!
Congratulations on your daughter's success 🎉.
Aizan Nigori looks delicious 🎵.
I'm sure you must be so relieved and happy, it must have been a wonderful time to drink 😊.
KAIKAI: Although from the same brewery in Shizuoka Prefecture, the Shitaizumi I drank the other day had a more modern flavor, but this one has a less flashy aroma and flavor, and is more like a clean, easy-drinking, so-called "Shizuoka" local sake. It has the thickness of nigori, though. It is easy to drink, but it is still 17 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to drink too much.
Kaiun is a sake you can never go wrong with.
1661 including tax
Fruity, sweet and easy to drink.
It also has the richness that only a pure sake can have, a subtle bitterness in the aftertaste, and a solid heaviness. You can enjoy many things in one sip, and it was gone in no time.

The sake rice not indicated on the front label is Yamadanishiki, which is as expected of the king.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama-Nihon Sake Yamadanishiki
The most balanced and tasty sake.
I'm not sure if it's blind or not, but if you choose the best one, it's inevitably the right choice...
As soon as I drank it, I asked which one was the best?
Yes, all incorrect 🤣.
I'm reminded of my stupid tongue 🤣.
By the way, there was no one who answered all the questions correctly among the participants, even though there were people who owned certifications such as the Sake Diploma.
I don't understand this kind of thing 🥸.

Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama-nazamazake Honorifuji
It was lighter and more refreshing than expected.
I wrote down my impressions of each type and started comparing them, and the moment I took a sip, I always said, "What? I don't know.

The image of the sake is enhanced when not only Omachi but also Akaban is indicated. This brand-name sake rice is as good as Yamada-Nishiki.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama Unsweetened Sake Akaban Omachi
The image of the sake is as it should be, with a full-bodied flavor and fresh sweetness. It is not heavy and rich, but clear.
I thought you could tell the Omachi even when it was blind 💦.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting ④.
We drank it while saying it was the sake that started the spell of BOUKEN-san and Ane-san.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama-Nagara Aizan.
It was mildly sweet without the bitterness that comes after Aizan that I had expected.
It was mildly sweet and mild without the bitterness that I had expected after Aizan.
Good evening...
Was that such an impressive statement 😅?
Don't tell me that I was a little surprised when I drank the original Aizan because my image of Aizan was Kaiun 🤫.
Good evening Ane 🌛The Aiyama spell of luck was quite impressive as I was quite excited and commented on it immediately 🤣This drink reminds me of Ane (icon) 😁It was actually a surprise spell 😳.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting (3)
A blind tasting of five different Kaiun sake rice varieties was being held, and although I couldn't understand it, I participated.
Kaiun Unfiltered Junmai Nama-no-Ho Yamadaho.
A bit nutty and dry bitter.
The taste is exactly as I imagined while looking at the label, but I couldn't tell at all if I was blind tasting...
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting Event (6)
The last of Kaiun is Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.8, Amino acidity 1.2
Alcohol 17.7%.
The sweetest of the five, and I thought it was my favorite.
All were delicious though 😋.
I've had this one in the past, and I've written about the gasiness and minerality, but this time I couldn't tell 💦.
I had a blind sake tasting after this, but I got all the questions wrong😅.
Yes, I have a stupid tongue 🙄.
I'll let you know the result of Nemuchi and Ao-chan in their respective posts 😌.
The taste of Kaiun? I thought the difference in subtle nuance was due to the difference in sake rice 🤔.
I'm not sure if it's hard to notice the difference between the two, since they have similar acidity levels when looking at the specs...
That's all my excuse 😅.
Good evening, bouken🦉.
I wanted to try this sake tasting but it seems quite difficult 💦I probably can't do it either 😂.
I only drank Yamadanishiki, but this one is the sweetest 😊.
Hello, Pon-chan.
I think it's very hard because there were only a few people who got 3 correct answers and 0 correct answers for all the questions 😅.
I felt Yamadanishiki was the sweetest, but I'm not sure anymore 🤣.

Honorifuji, Shizuoka's preferred rice for sake brewing
Polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.6, Amino acidity 1.4
Alcohol 17.2%.
It only says "Honorifuji" on the label, but it seems they are currently using the successor variety, 2021 Honorifuji.
A little sharp and sharp impression.
Seemed spicier than the others.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting ④.
Kaikai no Aiyama, the place where Ane-san was inspired to cast a spell.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +4, Acidity 1.5, Amino acidity 1.1
Alcohol 17%.
Slightly lighter and more refreshing than the others.
It did not feel more Aizan-like than when we drank it in the past.
Maybe it was the order in which I drank it, or maybe I was pulled in by the other liquors?
Hello 🎶
You remember well 🎶.
I remember that the unfiltered Kaiun Aizan is clean and sweet with little bitterness. I will have to drink it again to confirm 😊.
I am jealous of your drinking comparison 🎶.
It is Akaban Omachi🍶 of Kaiun.
The master's restaurant often has Kaiun on the menu, so I drink it from time to time.
The aroma on the nose is fresh and sweet with a richness that is typical of Omachi.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slightly carbonated taste.
It has a clear sweetness and a clear, Omachi-like flavor.
It is a very beautiful sake, but the goodness of Omachi comes out and it is quite delicious 🍶✨️
