A bottle that had been sitting in the fridge, completely forgetting when and where I bought it!
Refreshing ginjo aroma
Non-intrusive taste
Not as aromatic as the label says, but a good sake in general!
The last souvenir from back home
I did not know there was such a sake brewery in Saijo.
I bought it because of its stylish label and the fact that it is made from rice produced in the prefecture.
The sake is indeed tangy and dry with a sake strength of +9!
A delicious sake that goes well with meals!
Bingo!
I am almost at the end of my souvenirs from back home.
I was attracted by the watermelon label, so I bought this bottle.
It is a refreshingly dry sake suitable for summer.
I think it's good as a food sake because it's not too strong.
Shikoku Souvenir #6?
My favorite Ishizuchi Summer Gin!
I don't often buy ginjo, but I reflexively bought it because it was seasonal!
It doesn't have that much of a ginjo aroma, so it was delicious as a food sake!
I guess it was a hit!
What's your Shikoku souvenir No. 1?
So-called craft sake.
I guess you could call it a summery sake-based cocktail blended with yuzu juice, a specialty of Kochi.
It's 8% alcohol by volume, so it went down a treat.
It is an interesting attempt to expand the possibilities of sake.
The 4th Shikoku Souvenir
Sake brewed by a sake brewery in Saijo City (formerly Toyo City) with rice produced in Ehime Prefecture (Matsuyama Mitsui, Shizuku Ehime).
That alone is enough to pass the test!
It is dry and strong. It is very drinkable.
It is a sake that goes well with summer!
Souvenir of returning to Ehime
Sake brewed by a local sake brewery with naturally grown rice "Isehikari" from Ehime
Junmai (pure rice) but fruity like a ginjo.
Delicious sake.
The second souvenir from Shikoku
I heard that this sake was produced by a liquor store in Saijo City in cooperation with a brewery.
Sake brewed with Uchinuki, a famous water in Japan.
The rice is Matsuyama Mitsui, and the yeast is the brewery's own cultivated yeast.
The sake does not have a strong ginjo flavor, which is very pleasing to the palate. It is recommended as a mid-meal sake because it has no habits.
The first souvenir from Shikoku
Super Dry Nama Sake
Naru, a crisp and dry sake that seems to go well with fish.
When I visited the brewery, there were quite a few foreigners working there. The design and the awards it has received convinced me.
I am impressed by the world-conscious sake brewing from rural Kochi. Keep up the good work!
We visited a sake brewery in a mountain village in Kochi.
After visiting the museum of the artist from whom the sake is named, we were presented with a complimentary bottle of sake.
The brewery's specialty is dry sake, so it was very dry.
There were many different kinds of sake at the direct sales counter, so it was hard to choose just one. What made me happy was that all of the sake was available in 300ml bottles. I would like to compare different kinds of sake, so I hope they will offer them in 300ml bottles, even if it costs a little more.
I didn't have enough to drink at the hotel where I was returning home, so I bought some at a nearby Lawson.
The taste is good enough for a nightcap. Enough for a nightcap.
I was recommended to try it by a salesman at Hanshin Department Store, and I couldn't resist buying it!
I've been avoiding ginjo as much as possible, but I like a nice, refreshing ginjo for summer sake.
The non-habitual taste is just like water, and it is good as a food sake! Today I had it with okonomiyaki.
The 300cml bottle is also very good!
I would appreciate 300 even if it is a little more expensive, so that I can compare different brands of the same sake.
Souvenir from a friend who toured a sake brewery.
I froze it overnight and it froze.
How should I drink it?
I melted it a little and had it.
Well, it's a good omen, isn't it?
I heard it's a sake stored in the snow.
I had decided not to drink Daiginjo, but I was attracted by the title "limited edition for retailers" and bought it!
Is it worth the price?
I won't complain if I drink it casually for dinner.
I found this sake at a liquor store in a station building.
It was about to get hot, so I was attracted by the "delicious with ice cubes" label and bought it!
Without ice, it was crisp and dry.
When served chilled with ice, it had more of a ginjo flavor. Interesting!
Unfortunately, it was not that hot today. I think I will leave it in the fridge for a while.
Purchased at a nearby Aeon
Various local sake is now available at supermarkets.
The label says it is dry and has a delicious rice flavor, but I don't know what it is. The aftertaste is not quite right.
Well, that's about it.
I bought a bottle of the much talked about W. There were four different kinds of rice, but I couldn't buy them all, so I followed my rule and bought one bottle for less than 2,000 yen.
What a fruity taste!
I have been avoiding ginjo-shu, so it has been a while since I have had this kind of sake.
I'm not sure what "special sales item" means anymore, but it makes me appreciate it all the more.
