It has a gorgeous sweet aroma typical of Jyushidai, and it's so refreshing that you can't taste any of the miscellaneous flavors.
It is a completely different vector from the Jigokin nigori sake we had before this one, but there are some badass similarities that make me feel like I could drink as much as I want 😅.
Rice: 66% Gohyakumangoku, 34% Yamadanishiki

This is Jikin's newest sake of the year, and we were fortunate enough to have it from the first sip.
It has sweetness and umami, and if you drink it without thinking about it, you can drink as much as you want, and your "pocketbook" will be in trouble 😅...

It has been a long time since I have had Aozora. Personally, I think it is the perfect sake for the first cup.
Fushimi, Kyoto is a great place for good sake, isn't it?
Many people are toasting with wine on Halloween, but my wife has prepared potato salad with iburigakko (pickled ginger), so we are toasting with sake tonight.
It is a mellow and sweet sake, just like hiyaoroshi. I'm sure you'll enjoy it 🍶.
I got some Ginhirasu (also known as "Silver") at a local supermarket. I had never heard of this fish before, so I thought it must be sake, so I bought it. It has a fruity aroma, but it also has a strong flavor.
I served it with salted and grilled silver salmon. I was very pleased with the taste 😋.

I wanted to drink sake and the wife wanted to eat hot pot, so we decided to have nigori sake for dinner.
The blue label of Takachiyo has a citrusy freshness and acidity, as it is supposed to be a grapefruit, but the first sip left me with the impression that it was sweeter than I expected.
It is said to be a small sake brewery, but we have the impression that they produce sake with a strong impact, such as Jakuchu.
It is a sake with strong umami and low acidity.
One of my favorites, Collage.
Personally, I prefer Junmai Ginjo to Junmai Daiginjo because I think Junmai Ginjo has more character.
I think the sweetness and juiciness of the Aizan is more prominent in this case. I think it's a good choice.
Perhaps because it was the first sake I drank, this sake left the greatest impression on me on this day, in preference to the Jikin and Shinmasa that followed. It is a sake with a slight sense of maturity.
I can't stop drinking sake because every once in a while I come across a new great sake like this. ☺️
It's been a while since I've had Shinmasa, the standard No.6.
I think it is a full-bodied sake with a slightly sweet taste 🤔.
It is indeed a brand with many fans all over Japan. It's delicious!
I had it with horse sashimi.
It has a fruity aroma, a soft mouthfeel, and the flavor of rice.
I think it would go well with chicken dishes, although this is partly because my pick-me-up happened to be a charcoal-grilled chicken salad.
This year's Jikin is also good 😋.
I got this sake at Fukumitsuya in Kanazawa, which I visited the other day.
It was more expensive than expected (about 5.5k, I think), but I bought it because it was delicious.
Personally, however, I preferred it when it was very cold (when I tasted it at Fukumitsuya) rather than at near room temperature (when I drank it at home this time).
Accompanying it were seared kuromutsu and jakoten (fish cake).
Is it because it contains lactic acid bacteria? I think it is because it contains lactobacillus. I think it is a rich or umami type sake.
I think it would go better with nameko mushrooms than sashimi.
#This is my personal opinion😊.

This was also at the third restaurant.
It seems to be a brand only available in Kanazawa, so we were lucky ✨.
This one is like The Junmai Daiginjo, but it was so good ‼️
I couldn't buy it at Kanazawa station because they didn't have it (they did have Tengu Mai though).
I'm glad I got to drink it 🎶.

I went to Kanazawa for the first time in two years.
On my third visit, I finally got into a restaurant that has the local sake I wanted to drink. ☺️
The Yamahai Ginjo is a very strong flavor with a strong aroma.
It was the Yamahai with "strong flavor and aroma".
I couldn't understand the rice used for the sake.... Too bad...
→It was "Gohyakushi".
