On December 7, CBC TV aired a special on my favorite Shikishima-san!
I wanted to have a drink when I saw it, so I went to the liquor store right away...
A week has passed since then...
I drank the leftover sake and found a pineapple.
I'm going to be addicted to the taste change after I finish it.
Yesterday, I went to a liquor store I've never met before and picked up a bottle ✨.
Stable smell of Shikishima 😋!
The taste is chili, a little sour, umami, and goes down smoothly.
It's delicious 🤤.
I want to grow and drink it slowly and carefully 🍶.
By the way, a small story 🍶.
I saw on Instagram that the brewery sold out the day after I heard they started selling it, so I went to the liquor store I wanted to go to anyway.
The owner? He was kind, polite and very nice. ☺️
Shikishima after a long time ✨
Spring? It is a fire-brewed version of the light nigori that impressed me when I drank it in the spring.
It has a mild aroma, a firm umami flavor, and a smoky aroma that goes through the nose and finishes crisp and dry 😋.
We also had it lukewarm. The aroma stands out and the sharpness is great💕.
I think it might be my personal top ranking of light nigori 💕. 🤔
It is a taste like no other 😊.
I have too few photos left, so I'll start with the ones I do have.
Sake brought by Kanazawa residents at yesterday's gamer drinking party.
Oeyama brewed by Shikishima, my hometown.
The one they brought because they got it as a return gift from a Kurafan.
This was the last time I drank it, so to tell you the truth, I've already forgotten what it tasted like (see below).
I remember drinking it and thinking how easy it was to drink and how I couldn't stop, so I guess it was good.
By the way 🍶.
I drank too much yesterday and was groggy all day today.
I haven't counted, but from morning to night I drank a total of at least 5 cups of sake.
I was going to go sightseeing for the day, but I didn't feel like eating anything, so I came back early 🫠.
Good evening, Mia 😃.
I tend to drink too much when I'm having a good time 😅.
We couldn't drink and eat the day after we participated in the Tohoku Offline Meeting before either 🥲.
The first aroma when opened is chocolate
（The second is fruity.)
In the mouth, peachy sweetness (and a bit of citrus) spreads and soaks in nicely.
A sake like no other in total!
100% Yamadanishiki

Mellow" is the perfect word.
A little bit of sourness in the sweetness.
A little bit of sake-like taste in a heavy fruity taste.
A good combination.
It can be enjoyed as a sake at the beginning of a meal.
It may feel a little heavy in the middle or end of a meal.

This is Shikishima's Toku Jun Yamadanishiki.
This is cold sake 🍶.
The nose has a slight smoky woody aroma with a hint of sweetness.
The woody aroma is milder than the Shikishima we had last year.
On the palate, there is a refreshing sweetness and mild acidity.
It was quite delicious 🍶😊.
The third picture is Yokoi's spaghetti with starchy sauce recommended by a friend.
I was about to eat it, but it was rare that I took a picture of my meal 😅.
It cost me 1050 yen, but I think the ingredients cost about 100 yen 😂.
Today we have Shikishima from Ito, Aichi Prefecture❗️, whose Jungin is an unfiltered, raw, unadulterated sake❗️
The aroma is a subtle sweet scent of ginjo❗️ sip and you get a dense texture on the tongue, followed by numbness and acidity❗️ and then the scent of ginjo passes through the nose❗️ good for a mealtime sake⭕️
I bought a packet at my usual [Kurimoto] 😊.
When I got home and read the back, it said it was a label reprint series!
I also picked up some snacks at Uotaro!
They all taste great together!
I think I'm going to be addicted to Shikishima!
The third cup at the corner store.
Junmai Daiginjo🍶 made with Yamada Nishiki
The nose has a slightly fruity and sweet aroma.
The palate has a slight smoky woody flavor with a beautiful sweetness and umami.
If the smoky woody flavor was removed, Shikishima would be a sake that everyone would enjoy 🤔.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
The third picture is the entrance to the cafe and restaurant built in the main Shikishima brewery.
Second cup at the corner store.
Houou Shikishima made with Yume Ginko🌾 from Chita Peninsula 🐦🔥
It is a reissue label.
It was served at room temperature 🍶.
The first aroma is mild and sweet.
In the mouth, there is no smokiness that I usually feel 🤔, probably because it is also fire-aged.
I don't mean to be rude to Junmai sake, but it has a sweetness like a good regular sake.
I hear it is also good hot heated.
It was delicious. ✨️
