Hankyu Department Store Event (2)
The booth of JOKIGEN in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Tokigen Yamahai Junmai
Aged type. The acidity is followed by a spicy aftertaste.
◉Ryojun
A mellow, rounded sake with a high alcohol content (18°). The alcohol content is high at 18°. It has a strong aftertaste.
◉Tsunekigen Junmai Daiginjo Hyakumangoku No Shiro Nama Nama
The juiciness and umami of the raw sake gradually spread out and made us say, "Yum! The richness of the sake also made it even more "rich and delicious! It was even richer and more "koku-umi!
◉Joki Kigen Junmai Daiginjo Hyakumangoku No Shiro
The taste is refreshing and full with a spicy aftertaste.
Miyamanishiki Junmai Ginjyo Nama-ginjo Nama-narashu
Sweet and bitter, but with a strong umami and richness on the palate.
The Junmai Daiginjo Hyakumangoku No Shiro was not brought last year, and I was told it was not easy to drink, but it sure was good.
I saw this ad for this drink at the counter, went back to the fridge, took it to the cashier and bought more.
Definitely a mild taste. Slightly refreshing.
I was in a good mood and enjoyed it.
Thank you very much.
I was looking for a stylish bottle of sake to give as a gift and found Kiss of Fire.
I had to check the taste before giving it to someone! I looked and saw that there was a trial set that included a Junmai Daiginjo, Kiss of Legend, so I bought it.
Kiss of Fire tasted very fruity with a hint of spiciness.
Kiss of Legend is sweeter but has a stronger sake taste.
I was surprised at the difference in taste between junmai ginjo and junmai daiginjo.
I usually prefer the sake with a stronger sake flavor, but I think I prefer the fruity Kiss of Fire.
I'm thinking of giving it to someone as a gift, so the fruity and festive one would be better for the celebration! So, for gifts, Kiss of Fire is tentatively No. 1.
I would like to find another sake that looks and tastes good as a gift or for a drinking party where people can bring their own sake.
In fact, it is said that not much of Jokigen's regular sake is available outside of the local area. (You can buy it on the Rakuten market, though.)
Even an amateur can feel the goodness of the water on the attack and the clean aftertaste. The alcohol taste is light and easy to drink.
The aroma and sweetness of the rice are typical of Miyamanishiki.
It has a robust flavor with little lingering aftertaste. When it returns to room temperature, the taste becomes mellower and goes well with chicken liver sashimi.
It is the same "Hyakumangoku No Shiro" as Manzairaku.
The rice is polished to a 48% ratio, but the flavor is robust and powerful.
The latter half is quite sweet and delicious.
It is the same price as Manzairaku, but this one is more satisfying.
Exciting! It's tangy, but the sweetness that remains is surprising, it's too much of a star, and the name is very good. The more you drink, the more delicious it becomes.

Tsunekigen Yamahai Junmai Nama-junshu
65% 18° 25/1 A+
Kano Shuzo, Kaga-shi, Ishikawa
1800 3080
The taste is very drinkable, and the pleasant acidity supports it and makes you drink more and more.
The depth of this sake can be felt because it is a Yamahai sake.
This sake also does not make you feel its alcohol content.
