We had it in the sealed bottle 🥰.
It has a light fruity aroma like lychee, and on the palate there is a pleasant and light stimulation on the tongue characteristic of nama-shu 😋.
Then the umami of rice spreads afterwards and it is a mild, full, slightly sweet sake 😃.

After lunchtime drinking, I got a call from my favorite store that Yamakawa Mitsuo is in stock.
I must get there before it runs out 😅.
And so, I drank alone in the cool of the evening 🥰.
According to the article on the label, it's the 10th anniversary of the Mitsuo Yamakawa project: ㊗️
I think it's a slightly sweet sake with a mild flavor, a little acidity and the deliciousness of rice 🥰.

Hi Mashira no Yama 😃.
I'm a fan of the cool evening drink after lunch 🎐 drinking ☺️ is very elegant 😁.
It's also good to hear from the liquor store properly, Mitsuo is 10 years old ㊗️ and has never had a drink at home yet 🥲.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🤗 Initially, the evening drinking was not planned. But it was a fun one too.
When we entered the restaurant, we were lucky because the restaurant was just about to be crowded with customers who had reservations.... We were lucky.

We had a little sashimi left over from our lunch (sashimi platter) at Miyagawa Kappo, so we had another kind of sashimi.
Lunchtime drinking is the best 😋🥰.
The owner served us oysters in soy sauce.
It's a delicious, slightly dry sake with a mellow flavor and a pleasant stimulation on the tongue from the raw sake.

This is the restaurant we used at last week's [Gurutonami Chigasaki]. The June sake, which was supposed to be our first encounter, was sold out the other day, so we revisited the restaurant for a lunchtime drink.
It is dry and refreshing to drink.
It went perfectly with the sashimi platter (tuna, yellowtail, bonito, and sea bream) and bonito stew that I ordered for lunch.

Compared to the same Kamikigen Junmai Ginjo-shu 4season Spring, the aroma is softer and more subtle, the mouthfeel is less stimulating, and the taste is mellow and fruity like pineapple with a slight acidity, making it a slightly sweet sake 😋.
I heard from the store that they also have [Junmai Ginjo-shu 4season Autumn and Winter], so I mustn't miss it 😅.

When I opened the bottle, I felt a "pssh! 🤗.
It has a faintly fruity ginjo aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it tingles and stimulates your tongue, making it a sharp and smooth drinking sake.
From the sound it makes when opened and the stimulation on the tongue, I wonder if it is a draft sake 😋.

It has a faintly fruity aroma, and in the mouth, there is a slight carbonation characteristic of nama sake, which gives a pleasant sensation on the tongue. After that, the taste of rice flavor spreads in the mouth...it is such a sake.
Because of its low alcohol content, I think it is perfect as a summer sake for a meal.

Bike Masamune Nama-no-Mazake⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 80%, ALC 16%.
Brewed using the same process as junmai-shu, this slightly dry sake has the carbonation characteristic of nama-nazake in the mouth, but with a hip flavor.
This sake is brewed with sake rice grown by Mr. Yamamoto, a motorcycle rider at Yamamoto Sake Brewery in Akita, himself.
I learned for the first time that a sake cannot claim to be "junmai-shu" unless the rice used has undergone a grade inspection.
I guess it is important to use quality-assured sake rice in order to protect the brand quality of "junmai-shu" sake. If inexpensive junmai sake made with poor quality rice becomes available in the market, it will accelerate the shift away from sake 😅.

Hidakami's summer sake is delicious 😋.
It is my favorite sake that I drink every year at my favorite yakitori restaurant 🤗.

2025/6/17-6/19, the last day of the [Gurutonami Chigasaki 2025] event. I wanted to drink some more sake, and although I used up my event ticket, I entered Ponka on the first day in search of the sake I was interested in😅.
I had met a hiyayoroshi junmai sake with the same shade of label/quality label in September 2019 (4th image).
It was my first Gobashi junmai sake in 6 years and the pink is the spring label 🤗.
Even though it's a junmai sake, it has a slight ginjo-like aroma.
It has a slight ginjo aroma even though it is a junmai sake. For some reason, there is a raw sake-like stimulation on the tongue when you put it in your mouth, and I thought it was a refreshing sake with a taste that I never got tired of drinking.

2025/6/17-6/19, the last day of the "Gurunomi Chigasaki 2025" event. From the appearance of the restaurant, I thought it would be a Western-style sake dining bar, but the pamphlet said it was a "sake main" restaurant, so I chose it as one I would definitely like to visit.

When the master brought a four-pack bottle, I was surprised at the atmosphere of the label😅.
When I checked the brewer, it was Kikumori Shuzo. I checked the app for Kikumori Shuzo's sake that I had met before and found that the brand name was "Kneecap Crossing from Pictured Throwing" and the label was also unique 🤗.
The aroma is not very pleasant.
But I thought it was a slightly dry sake with rice flavor and sourness spreading in the mouth. The label is unique, but the taste was spot on. I was very impressed with the taste 😋.
There was no sake in the Tsumami set for the event, but I ordered it with a lemon sour, and it was a Tsumami set that went well with sake 🥰.

The ginjo aroma was not so strong, and on the palate, the sake had a mild taste with some acidity, making it a slightly dry sake.
The master says that he tries not to serve the same sake as much as possible, and that he gets mainly junmai sake from the brewery, not from the liquor store. You may have found a place where you can find rare and delicious sake every time you visit.

2025/6/17-6/19, there is an event called [Gurutonami Chigasaki 2025] and we are going to an event where we can enjoy our first izakaya or snack bar.
It's a good plan to explore new restaurants 🤗.
It has almost no aroma, but I think it is a sharp and dry sake with sourness and bitterness on the palate.

The shopkeeper recommended this sake, saying, "This sake is interesting and delicious..." The shopkeeper explained that it was a prototype Junmai-shu made by Yano Shuzo.
According to the store owner's explanation, it is a prototype Junmai-shu made by Yano Shuzo, and salt is added to the brewing water.
The label was cute, so I bought it😅.
The aroma is only faintly perceptible.
It has a slight amber color.
It has a sour taste in the mouth and a little bit of saltiness really.
It is low in alcohol, so it tastes a bit like a dry white wine. I thought it was a sake that would go well with white fish dishes, pasta, cream cheese & crackers, etc. as a snack, chilled well and poured into a wine glass.
