☀️ Finally won the Jikin in the raffle 🎯✨. I can drink it at home for a long time 🥳. We joined the queue for our turn in the fridge and had it sitting there for a while 🧘. And the other day my turn finally came and I decided to open the bottle 🍶. The moment you open it, a soft sweet aroma wafts through the air. This anticipation is exciting ᾒ. The mouthfeel is pleasantly sweet 😚 with a hint of sourness in the aftertaste? Sourness in the aftertaste? Bitterness? I feel some kind of complex flavor 🤔. The ginjo aroma is also present and the mellow aroma is very satisfying 😍. The sweetness and aroma lingers on and you can enjoy the sake for a long time 🍶. The taste was clean and transparent right after opening the seal 😚. Around the third day, the sweetness and acidity increased and the flavor seemed to be more well-rounded 🧐. It was a great experience for me to experience the change of taste which is hard to experience when drinking outside 🤗. I like drinking at home after all 😆.

☀️ Slightly sweet, with rice flavor🌾 at the center. The sweetness is weaker than that of Aozora, which I drank before, but I thought it was unique to Aozora because of the moist feeling when you drink it 🤗.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. Ehime's famous Ishizuchi also has a brand name bearing the name Masamune. I went hunting for it on the information that it is available at a local restaurant in Ehime 🤗. I ordered it right away and was lucky enough to get it with a windfall 😆. I will have it with tai meshi 🍚🐟. The first thing that comes to your mind is the gentle aroma of apple 🍎. In the mouth, you can feel the sweetness, the soft and moderate ginjo aroma, and the clarity through the throat. ☺️ I think this is one of the best in the Masamune area 🤔. It is indeed a Junmai Daiginjo class sake 🍶. The sake rice is also top grade Yamadanishiki🌾 from Hyogo Prefecture🤩. Combined with tai meshi, Definitely, Nice Masamune👍

Good evening, ma-ki-san! As I recall, my Masamune hunt fever got the better of me, and I hunted Masamune every day 🤣. Ishizuchi-san is a true nice Masamune👍 who never gives up on Masamune fans even after his national debut 🥹.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. All-you-can-drink sake for 30 minutes at Nara Antenna Shop: ⭐️Aimed Sake #2🍶. No "Masamune" on the label, but "Masamune" is printed firmly on the box😅. By Hunter's standards, anything without the word "Masamune" on the label doesn't count as an achievement, but I didn't expect to see "Masamune" "only" on the box 😅. Well, it's on the box, so it's good 😆. Let's drink it 🍶. It has a light sweetness, but has a strong body and umami flavor 😊. It's easy to drink with no alcohol 😙. Nice Masamune👍

ヒロ
Hello, Matsuchiyo😄 Surprisingly this was also a Masamune. There have been a few breweries recently that serve it under a brand name that removes "Masamune" and I think it is a betrayal of the Masamune community 😡. The all-you-can-drink was great because there were many sakes that I rarely have a chance to drink in Tokyo 🤩.

☀️ All-you-can-drink sake for 30 minutes🍶 at Nara Antenna Shop There is still time, so here is the next one. It is a rich golden color🟨. The same rich sweetness 😚. The rich sweetness spreads in the mouth with the sensation of alcohol 😚. The aftertaste is filled with a pleasant sweetness that is extremely satisfying ☺️ I thought it was perfect for sipping. It is too good to drink quickly with a time limit of 30 minutes 🍶.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. All-you-can-drink sake at Nara Antenna Shop for 30 minutes ⭐️The sake I was aiming for #1🍶. This is what I came here for🤗 So here goes 😋. It is slightly amber in color. It has a sweet and sour apple taste on the palate 🍎. There is a slight vinegariness in the throat 😲. It's accented, but what is it 🤔? Yoshino Masamune is a sake from a project started by a farmer and three breweries in the town of Yoshino to help eliminate idle farmland. There is also a Yatagarasu version and a Shojo version. Today there was only Hanaboe version, but I would like to drink the other versions 🤗. Nice Masamune👍

Hi Hiro, good evening. I didn't know that there is a sake called Yoshino Masamune in Hanabatake and I am curious to know what your project is! It would be great if we could do other versions of nice Masamune 🤣.

☀️ I stopped by Nara prefecture's antenna store in Ginza 🚶. This place has a self-service all-you-can-drink sake corner for 1500 yen for 30 minutes😄. You won't find Mimuro Sugi or Kaze no Mori, but they have most of the other sake 🍶. We started with Harushika, which the waitress said was her favorite. It is sweet yet refreshing and has a nice sharpness. This is... nice dry👍. ...I don't know if I can say that ⁉️ I'm a dry amateur so I'm not sure 🤪.

Good evening, Hiro😄. Wow, that's great ‼️ all you can drink for 30 minutes for 1500 yen, and it's self-service ⁉️ Just a quick question 🙋‍♀️. Does self-service mean I have to take it out of the fridge and pour it myself? Sorry for this comment.

Good evening, HinaHanaMama😄. Yes, ‼️ you can take the bottle out of the fridge yourself and pour. Also, you can sit at the counter and there are snacks (extra charge). And the all-you-can-drink sake service starts at 5pm 😁.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. I was looking for a place to host a farewell party and found a place that has a regular lineup of Masamune, which I've never had 💡😳. We'll have to go there ❗️ This Masamune is made by the famous brewer of Snow Kayasha. As for the sake, it is not very sweet 😗. I feel the ginjo aroma that is common in alcohol added sake. I don't feel any alcohol 😁. As expected from the brewer of Snow Kayasha 👏. It's a very light and refreshing 😙. It tasted like it would go well with seafood 🦞🧐. Nice Masamune👍

Good evening, Kotaro😄. I did my best, secretary 🙏. I apologize for any misunderstanding, so I would like to add something. It is a good sake at the level of honjozo, but not as good as ginjo sake. It is a sake that is okay to drink if you know it is a cheap sake.

☀️ We were very lucky to be able to compare Aiyama and Miyamanishiki from Kawanakajima Genmai 😊. Aizan. The sweetness and umami are moist and quietly sinking in 😚 It has a calm taste, and although you can feel a lot of sweetness, it is not clingy and clean. ☺️ It was a typical finish of Aiyama, bringing the aroma of unrefined sake and sweet atmosphere 🤗. Miyamanishiki It has a more subdued sweetness than Aizan. It has a very carbonated taste. The timing of opening the bottle is said to be later than Aizan. Is there gas left in the bottle 🤔? It has a subtle bitterness in the aftertaste, but the ginjo aroma is also softly felt in the nose, creating a lingering finish 🤗. It's hard to say which is better 🥰.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. I had a nice day off, so I went to a brewery that had been on hold for a long time. Maruyama Sake Brewery in Saitama Prefecture. It's a 50 minute walk from the nearest train station🤣so far away that I called to ask "Is the store open today?" I called to check if the shop was open today 😆. Of course, I was aiming for this one 🎯. The color is a little amberish 🟡. First, cold 🧊. It smells sweet 😙. The taste is sweet like bananas 🍌. There is a little bit of alcohol characteristic of Honjozo, but it is a refreshing drink. Next, warm up 🔥. The aroma is more broad. The sweetness is subdued and it has a clean, hackneyed throat as it is swallowed. It is best served at room temperature to lukewarm. I always thought it was "Daikinsei" until I saw the sign at the store 😅. I noticed it on the sign at the store 👀. Glad I didn't make a mistake 😆. Nice Masamune👍

Good evening, Hiro 😃. Maruyama Sake Brewery looks delicious😃. It's about an hour drive from my house, so I think I'll go there next time to buy some sake 🍶🚗. I also thought it was a big gold star until I finished reading Hiro's post😅

Good evening, shinsaku3! The Kin Daiboshi Masamune was not bad for a honjozo, but it still had a "honjozo character" 🤗. If you go to the brewery, please note that the attached store is closed on Sundays and holidays: ⚠️

In a previous post you wrote something about "firm acidity" but there seems to be no acidity 🙄... I guess it was different inside... 🤣 I think I'm going to start my journey to find the real Edo Kaijo 🤗
