After a long time, I went to CHUIN to talk with the owner, Mr. Kawada.
This time, I was almost alone with Mr. Kawada (although there was also a former Gassan brewer from Shimane until halfway through the meeting), so we drank sake together without taking notes 🍶.
First we toasted to this Shinshu Kamereizan Meganishiki Junmai Ginjo.
The timing of chuin-san's bottle opening is completely by luck, but recently I've been lucky🐢. ☺️
The aroma is even more vibrant than usual since it's almost a mouthful.
Wonderfully fresh and sweetly fragrant and fruity.
On the palate, a chili and pleasant gassy stimulation 🫧 that I didn't recognize on the exterior.
Sweetness reminiscent of apples, pears, and white peaches with a good balance of juiciness and transparency coexisting, and a fresh and gentle spread of acidity.
The flow from the middle to the latter half of the bottle reminds us of the beauty of Shinshu water, and the lingering aftertaste leaves only the remnants of a crisp, pleasant, and fruity ginjo aroma.
This is the kind of sake that makes you think sake is wonderful.
It has been almost two years since I decided to make sake my hobby, but there are still so many things I want to know, sake I want to taste, and people I want to meet.
I enjoyed my favorite sake, Shinshu Kamerei, while thinking about how I should take steps forward little by little, without overdoing it or being greedy.

Hi Aladdin 😀
Actually, I haven't been able to visit chuin-san at all lately 🤣.
I have a cellar and fridge at home overflowing with sake, so I need to open a bottle of that 🤣.
But I would love to see Mr. Kawada after a long time😇.

Hi - I've been into sake for 2 months, found chuin for 2 weeks, and am fighting the daily temptation of the "I'm opening the bottle" installations 😂.

Hi Aladdin 😊.
It's been a while since I've been to a familiar restaurant and had a sake discussion with the owner.
It's intoxicating 😁.
I love to drink at home, so I don't get a chance to visit this restaurant, but I would like to visit it once too.

Good morning, Yasbay 😃.

Kawada-san is my sake master (one way 😁) so I go there to get inspired even if only once in a while! Let's go again 🍶.
