As the brand name suggests, it's a fruity sake with a strong floral scent! It's been a while since I've had a standard fruity sake, but it's delicious lol!

We had some delicious, freshly squeezed sake!
And don't miss the female Toji's Youtube video!
The following is a quote from the website: ＝＝＝＝＝
Junmai Daiginjo "Judo" won the gold medal in the Junmai Daiginjo category at Kura Master 2020, a sake judging event held in France on September 10, 2020.
Junmai Daiginjo "Judo" was released in 2018 as an export-only product as a casual line of Nada Kiku Shuzo's best Daiginjo, "Shuzo no Susuke" (Mikinosuke). It was created as a new series to commemorate the achievements of Kawaishi Shuzonosuke, the founder's younger brother and the first person to spread judo in France, who is known as the "father of French judo."
We started brewing "Judo" with the idea of "letting people know about Sakuzonosuke's achievements" and "introducing Harima-made sake to the world.
The ingredients are carefully selected from "Hyogo Yume Nishiki" produced in Harima, the birthplace of Shuzonosuke. In order to maximize the appeal of Hyogo Yume Nishiki, the rice is polished to a low 50%, which is rare for a junmai daiginjo, and the aim is to create a sake with a good balance of acidity and sweetness.

I got the spring only sake! It's so sudsy that you have to be careful opening the bottle. It wasn't like a Nabeshima with a rich aroma and flavor, but rather a sake with a clean taste and a complex flavor. It has a beautiful acidity and a great sharpness. This is the kind of sake you want to drink with everyone as a toast at hanami. Hurry up and get your Corona!

The day after I emptied two bottles of Kouei Kiku, I bought this Funaguchi Kikusui at a convenience store!
You really shouldn't evaluate sake by price or brewery name alone.
I think this sake is now a legend. It's a wonderful sake that has the freshness of nama-shu with the deep flavor of umeguchi.
By the way, though, the same Kiku's Kou Kiku was really good too!

I agree with you when you say that this Funaguchi can is a legend❗️.
Such a fresh and tasty raw sake sealed in a can❗️.

Agreed. I believe it was preceded by Ichiban Shibori. It was the pioneer of undiluted sake. It's so close to home that we tend to forget its value. As you say, it is a legend❗️.

Thanks for the comments, Hiratcho and Jurinan! I'm so happy to get two comments on this sake! After all, a good sake will always be loved by everyone!

Kouryugiku second stage! There is a tingling sensation when you open the bottle, but the taste is clean and the aroma of melon spreads in your mouth. The aftertaste is short and crisp, and you can keep drinking it for a long time, this is a really bad sake lol!
Even though it's a nama-shu, it was recommended to me that it also tastes great warmed, so I'll be enjoying it warmed tomorrow!

I finally got it! It was sent to me by a local liquor store friend of mine. It's as good as its reputation.
It tasted like carbonated melon juice. The swooshing and tingling sensation is amazing. I'd like to drink it to toast right after opening the bottle.
As recommended by the brewer, I kept the other half of the bottle at room temperature for a week and chilled it a bit before drinking. Then the tingling disappeared and only the deliciousness remained, and I could enjoy the deep flavor! I highly recommend this sake!

I thought it was sweet on the palate, but it quickly fills the mouth with a fresh, clean flavor. The aroma is moderate. It has a tingling sensation and is not overpowered by darker ate. It does not interfere with meals. It is a sake with good cost performance.

It's been a while since we've had a sake with such a refreshing taste. The aroma is quite subdued, and the sharpness is good, so it's perfect for drinking while eating. The alcohol feeling that comes through the nose later is quite strong.

There was an interesting sake, so I bought it without thinking lol!
The rich umami and clean acidity are good! I'm always impressed by the way that Denshu-san tackles new things.

It's a very cosy drink! It's also easy to buy at the supermarket! It's not as sweet as it looks, and it's crisp and dry, so you can pair it with food. It's not as sweet as it looks.

The aroma is subdued. That's because it's designed to be the ultimate food sake. The sharpness is outstanding. It's a wonderful sake that doesn't interfere with the meal, but also has a deep flavor.

This is an unusual sake that was made with Narano Yaesakura yeast. The alcohol content is low at 14 degrees, and the taste is quite unique. If you think the aroma is subdued, you'd be wrong! The fruity apple aroma that spreads in your mouth is quite strong. There is also a lingering aroma, but it is not unpleasant. You may not like it, but I found it delicious!

Is there such a thing as good sake? It's so good! I was surprised. Right after the opening, it has a refreshing standing aroma. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the firm umami spreads in your mouth, and at the same time, the beautiful acidity is really pleasant. In the second half, you can enjoy the complex taste with the acid. This was definitely one of my top 3 sakes! I am grateful for this encounter.

It's our first Kagoshima sake ! We thought it was the image of the potato shochu liqueur, but we think it is easy to drink. We can hardly feel the aroma, but when we take it in our mouth, the taste of the rice spreads. It's not a sticky sweetness, but a clean and refreshing taste. The acidity can be felt a little in the latter half. It can be enjoyed both before and during meals.

It is refreshing to drink. The solid acidity and a little bitterness are pleasant. As I'm writing this, it's decreasing rapidly. In other words, it's delicious.

Happy New Year! It's New Year's Day, so we've opened a rare sake! This sake is brewed with locally grown rice, Koshihikari. It has a modest aroma and a punch of alcohol. It's the perfect sake for a meal! The flavor increases when heated. It goes well with dishes that are rich in flavor. I learned another good lesson.

I don't know how many bottles of this drink I've had lol.
It's one of my favorite sakes. I've toured the brewery before, and the facilities and attention to detail in the brewing process, as well as the history of research into Yamada Nishiki, is impressive. The sake is best when it's heated. Heating it up brings out the sweetness of the rice even more. But it's not a sticky sweetness, it's elegantly refreshing. I'll be buying more soon lol!

It is a sake that can be drunk neat while feeling a gentle aroma. I thought it might be banana for a moment, but it's not like that. The sharpness is good and makes you want to drink many cups. I drank the same one a year ago, but I feel it is even more delicious.

There are many kinds of sake with the name Otokoyama, but this one was refreshing and easy to drink, unlike its powerful name. There was no hint of miscellaneous flavors, and it made the food stand out as a mealtime drink. Yummy! I love it.

It has a good reputation and I have been wanting to try this sake for a long time. This time it's a hiyaoroshi (cold brewed sake), but it's mild in the mouth. It has a nice acidity in the last half of the bottle. It was as good as its reputation. I'm glad I bought a bottle!
