It is a playful nigori sake named after a word meaning "chikappa = very much" in Hakata dialect.
Cute label with a winking face: 🏷️💕
The taste is both creamy and dry and sharp, and it goes perfectly with this kind of strong flavored food, which my sister brought home with cod roe to snack on.
Gentle sweetness at the entrance. Soft and mild in the mouthfeel.
Soon after, the firm body and umami of rice, typical of Kame-no-o, come out with a bang.
The acidity is moderate without being too sharp, giving it a "chunky but not dry" feeling.
Slightly yogurt-like
The mouthfeel is robust and rich, full of umami.
Because it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, freshness and wildness coexist.
The lingering aftertaste is a bitterness like rice bran, roasted nuts and bitter chocolate.
Slightly sweet attack in the mouth.
The acidity is immediately apparent, and the sweetness does not linger.
The 60% rice flavor is also present, and the body is medium.
There is a slight bitterness and astringency on the back palate, and it finishes off like the white part of a grapefruit.
Cat Connection
I just tried to drink this one called "Reconcile with Cats 🐈⬛".
I tried to drink it 😅
I'm also interested in "Fashionable Cats" 🤨.
It gives me a fruity impression 😘.
I'll try to drink it when I find it ‼️
Shinshu Kamerei's Kinmonnishiki Junmai Ginjo "Limited to the brewery": ❣️
Soft and juicy on the palate.
The first part has a moderate sweetness of rice, followed by a fullness and umami that is typical of Kinmonishiki in the middle part of the bottle.
The acidity tightens up in the latter half, and the finish is gorgeous but crisp.
If we were to say sweetness/saltyness, it would be balanced between medium and slightly sweet.
It is neither too light nor too heavy. It is easy to drink, but has a strong presence.
I received this bottle from a friend, a rare one. I am grateful for it. 😌
Tropical aroma from the moment you open it.
The type that also tends to have a subtle rummy sweet nuance
The first sip is thick, juicy, and rich in sweetness.
Because it is unfiltered sake, the body is firm and the fullness of the alcohol comes in softly.
The sweetness and umami of rice remain gradually, with a slight kick of alcohol in the latter half of the sip, and it fades out quickly without being overpowering.
It was delicious. Thank you 😊
Very soft and silky on the palate.
The gentle sweetness from the rice spreads softly, and the refreshing acidity brings it all together in a well-balanced manner.
It is clean and clean without being sticky, with a slight sweetness to medium mouthfeel.
The slight bitterness finishes off the aftertaste and disappears quickly and easily.
The refreshing acidity brings the wine together in a well-balanced manner.
The sweetness is "slightly sweet to medium" and clean without being sticky.
A slight bitterness finishes the aftertaste, and it disappears quickly without any lingering aftertaste.
Completely fruity.
Aroma of sweet fruits like melon, apple, cherry, apricot, with white floral notes .
As the temperature rises a little, the aroma spreads and becomes more intense .
The entrance is about "slightly sweet to medium sweet", with juicy fruit sweetness.
The overall impression is clean and fresh.

Mr. Ziyei & Mr. Nobby

Thank you for your warm message ✨

Let's continue to enjoy tasting delicious sake together while also drinking iron 🍶🚃.
Thank you for your continued support!
This is a classic local sake that I bought on a business trip.
It is the brand of Bandai Brewery, the only sake brewery in Izu, and is made with local water and rice, and is positioned as an "everyday sake" or "souvenir sake.
It is light and refreshing. Junmai has a slightly lactic aroma and is dry with a nice sharpness, but not too sweet.
Vanilla, caramel, honey.
apricot jam, dried apricot, a little orange peel
Slightly nutty and woody.
More like a nuance between a white wine and a light whiskey than a sake.
Ripe melon-like fruity flavor that is typical of Omachi.
The soft sweetness and umami of the rice spread out, and the fullness of the flavor comes out around the middle.
It has the "fullness" of Omachi, but because it is a Junmai Daiginjo, it is elegant with little cloying taste.
Melon, green apple, and a bit of muscatel. The aroma is fruity, like a ginjo, but not too loud.
Slightly sweet at first, then the umami of the rice spreads quickly.
As the label says, it is a "mellow dry" type, with a strong umami flavor, but it is also sharp, and the spiciness comes out in the latter half and finishes it off.
