8.5 points (8.5 points for my wife) Rice used : Dewasanbaku Yeast used : Saitama G yeast Rice polishing ratio : 50 Alcohol percentage : 14 Sold at: Jizake No Sake Shop "Fun Sake Shop Shu when opened Almost no gas Pineapple top note, just like the label says. The same fruity aroma as the top, the full sweetness and soft rice flavor spreads with citrus-like acidity, and the slightly bitter and fresh aroma lingers on the finish. It is a little sweet, but the acidity and bitterness bring it all together in a gentle way, making it a great match with a meal or on its own. It went well with 7-Eleven's Gold Series mackerel stewed in miso and grilled marinated marinated pork. It also went well with Thai-style stir-fried pork belly and eggplant, and leek balls.

Although it is fire-aged, it is fresh and well-balanced, so it goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own. It goes well with sashimi, simmered octopus, and various types of nigiri.

Good evening, Masaaki Sapporo-san! Jikin-sama's special junmai is delicious ⤴️ I agree with you that it is well-balanced and goes well on its own or with a meal 😋. And the meals you paired it with look delicious as well 🤤!

Thank you ma-ki-, as always 😃 All the 而今, are delicious ✨but the high-end 而今 didn't suit me as my palate is not used to it 😅I recommend this restaurant, both for the food and the sake 😋.

Hi Masaaki Sapporo😄 Sushi and Jikin is the best combination ❗️ The Jikin, and of course the Sushi 🍣 looks so good, and the picture made me go 😫🤣.

Thanks again, Hiro 😃This store is almost always stocked now and I recommend it because of its secluded location out of the center of the city, and the prices are moderate even for a Michelin store 🍣.

The sweetness is not as strong as the sake level, but the umami of the rice is impressive, and the alcohol is noticeable and somewhat classical. On the second day, the alcohol feeling is lessened and the acidity is more like that of white wine than citrus, giving it a nice, moist flavor. It went well with "Buttered eel with rice topped with buttered rice" introduced on "Zawatsuku", ordinary eel bowl, Simmered Japanese butterbur and bamboo shoots, Potato salad, and so on. It also went well with Tororo rice, sashimi of tuna and yellowtail, and grilled chicken wings and asparagus.

Purchased from: Jizake No Sake Shop "Fun Sake Shop Soft and strawberry topping The same fruity aroma of strawberries as the topping, a not too strong but full sweetness and umami of rice spread out with the sourness of strawberries, and it slowly finishes with a lingering strawberry aroma and sweet and sour aftertaste. It is better as an aperitif or dessert sake than with a meal. It is mostly strawberry juice, but it went well with pasta with chicken in tomato sauce. By the way, there is a strawberry farm in Kagawa that sells sweet strawberries, and their soft-serve ice cream is also delicious!

Perhaps because it has been left too long, it has an aroma similar to that of Shaoxing wine, and it has a dry impression with a moderate sweetness, so it is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone wine.
