☀️ 1500 check-ins ✅ Masamune hunters go today🍶. One day, while patrolling the internet for Masamune, I saw the words "Kunimitsu Masamune 2 bottles left" ❗️😳 I was so excited 😤.... I was so excited 😌. This is a sake brewed by Nanbu Bijin, imitating the Edo period brewing method based on the Nanbu Touji's secret book 🍶. I was thrilled to be able to buy it because I thought it was a project brew and not available 🥹. After the appreciation period, I opened the bottle with no intention 🍶. The color is light amber 🟡. The aroma is typical of the classic type 🤔. On the palate it has a viscous sweetness. I can't describe it well, but it's similar to caramel, with a light sweetness 🤔. As it approaches room temperature, the flavor profile becomes blurred, so the sweetness is clearer and fresher when it is cold. The end result is a refreshing finish with a subtle hint of hackberry. There is no bitterness, and it melts in the mouth as if it is fading away. It is hard to find such a clear sake with 90% polished rice. It was 13,000 yen for a 4-pack, which is the highest price I have ever paid for sake 💰. However, it was an awesome sake that shows the high level of brewing skill of Nanbu Bijin ✨. I am grateful to have found an awesome Masamune 🙏. Nice Masamune👍

Good evening, Masamune Hunter! I congratulate you on your 1500! I have been thinking about it for a while. I would like to see your "Masamune List"! Every time I see "Fat Masamune", I wonder if Hiro-san drank this one. I wonder if he drank it.

Hiro-san Congratulations on your 1500 check-in. ㊗️ Kiri sake is still Masamune! It is a very high-class sake, isn't it? I had an image that Masamune was a reasonable sake, but I didn't know there was such a sake! I'm discovering new things every day!

Thank you very much, Sashiu 😊. It was an incredibly high-end Masamune 💰😅😅 but still, if you know that there is a Masamune called Kunimitsu Masamune, Masamune hunters will be very happy 🤗.

Thanks for the study 😊. I'll keep patrolling Masamune, what if it's only a bottle for 13,000? I was wondering what I would do if it was only bottles for 13,000 but it was fine 😄I knew the box would make a difference in the luxury ✨.

Japanese>English

ヒロ

Thank you very much, ma-ki 😊. Well, it really was a "wonderful" Masamune ✨Since I started the Masamune hunt, I've been enjoying more and more minor sakes myself 😆 I'll keep hunting for more and more 💪.

Japanese>English

ヒロ

Thank you, Nemuchi 😊. I really think it is the finest Masamune. I have gained momentum, but Kunimitsu Masamune is so great that I am worried that Masamune from now on will not be as good as it is 🤣.

Japanese>English

ヒロ

Thank you @Mizuhashi😊. I didn't think it was Nanbu Bijin myself. I felt the soul of ALL Iwate when I learned the story of how Haruyama Kichisaburo Shoten discovered the book and commissioned Nanbu Bijin to make it 🤗.

Japanese>English

ヒロ

Thank you very much, Manachie 😊. I was quite excited, even if it was for Masamune hunting 💰😤. I really wanted a more reasonable price for 90% polished rice 🤣.

☀️ Hiyaoroshi in a blue bottle, which is somewhat strange 🙄. Hiyaoroshi = orange🧡 image is too strong🍂. The second half has some bitterness, but in general it is a strain that fights with the umami of the rice 🌾. I can feel the minerals, but I wonder if this is due to the water 🤔.

☀️ It's not sweet, but the flavor of the rice 🌾 will win you over 🤠. Just like the Masamune name for "Sai of Rice" 😁. I think it finally starts to taste a little sweetness at the end, and then it starts to cut through 😙. I could even taste the flavor of the rice 🤗.

☀️ I'd be curious to know if there are any 😍. Is there a slight bitterness or sourness at the end with the sweetness typical of a Jyushidai ❓🤔. When I'm wondering, my nostrils swell up with a certain ginjo aroma 🥸. The slight gentle carbonation and the bitterness and sourness make a nice noise and add color to the elegant sweetness 😊.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. The only place I could find Yonekawa Masamune for sale was at the sake brewery or a liquor store nearby😅. The brewery is closed irregularly, but the liquor store seems to be open so I decided to go there 🤗. We arrived at Takazawa Sake Brewery. I put my hand on the door and it rattled open 😁. But there is no clerk 🙄. And they have Masamune but it's in one bottle😅. I decided to ask if they have Shogou bottles. Hiro "Sumimasen." ...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... 〜〜〜 15 minutes passed Hiro "Sumimasen"... ...no reply at all😑. I expected a regular holiday, but I didn't expect to be left alone😇 We had no choice but to head to the nearby liquor store "Takazawa Sake Shop" 🚶. This time the clerk was there 👀. Hiro "Do you have any Yonekawa Masamune?" Clerk "Yes we have it😄". I knew it was a bottle. Yes, I'll buy it 😑. It's better than being left alone 😇. It's sake 🍶. It's a light sweetness with a touch of sugar 😚. No bitterness or astringency 🤔. There is a tangy sensation on the tongue, but I wonder if it's due to the alcohol addition 🤔. In this day and age it would be classic, but a long time ago it would have been called modern 😊. Nice Masamune👍

Japanese>English

Good morning, Hiro 😃. I didn't realize it was Yonekawa Masamune 😅. I was going to buy some too, but there was only one bottle available and I decided to buy only Toyoga 🍶. I'll bring you a bottle next time 🍶.

Hello 💦. I see I am registered with "Yonekawa" 💦 I have received a bottle twice. I was told it is only distributed locally. I think it's the kind of sake (not fancy but not boring) that my father drinks every evening 😊.

Hi Yasbay 😃 Masamune Hunt is on a mission to drink it, and if you can't drink it in the store, you have to buy it 🤣. I would have preferred a four-pack but they only have one bottle so I had to buy it 😓. I'll try my best at Masamune love ❤️ 😆

Hi Aladdin 😃 I recently found out about it myself. My dad at Takazawa Sake Shop told me that Yonekawa Masamune used to be their main brand. Most of my sake life is driven by my passion for Masamune 🤣.

Hi WOM 😃 I see that you are experienced in playing left alone! I guess it's a thing with small breweries 🤣. It seems to be a brewery with a small number of people, so I had to understand the convenience of the other party 😌.

ヒロ

Hi @Mizuhashi 😃 It was Masamune Yonekawa 🤗It was on the shelf behind the counter, not in the fridge, and the picture posted on Google also had a four-pack, so you might be able to avoid a bottle if your timing is right 😆.

Hello Nemuchi 😃 My inquisitiveness and hunting spirit for Masamune is becoming the driving force of my sake life 😆 I'm also willing to leave it alone 🤣. But even if I can't hunt, I thought it's okay because I can go sightseeing in Obuse 😇.

Japanese>English

ヒロ

Hi Ane 😃 Junmai sake is without "masamune", but regular sake is available, so I registered it with "Masamune". I'm a hunter myself 😁. It's still distributed locally 😌I agree with you on the Showa Otoutan sake: 👴🏻

☀️ I went to Obuse in Nagano Prefecture🚃. The purpose was the usual "hunting", but since there are several sake breweries ❗️, we went to the ones we could go to 😄. While many breweries don't offer tasting, we came across one brewery that had a tasting counter, and we tasted it ☺️ This sake is called "Hekiiken". It is said to be the name of the atelier built for Katsushika Hokusai who came to Obuse 🤔. I chose the name because it is an unusual name 😁. The taste is smooth, moist and sweet like cotton candy 😚. It is similar to sugar. It's neat that it has a clean ginjo aroma, but it passes right through 🤣. It somehow seemed like a sake that could be drunk locally 🍶, and I sincerely felt that it was worth the visit to the brewery. The fourth picture is a garden in Obuse where I felt the atmosphere 🤗.
