Cold. Sweet and bitter. Aroma is thin. Delicious enough.
Warmed. Fuller. Sweetness stands out. Aromatic. Reminds me of Gunma Izumi. The changes are enjoyable.
The first Shinsei I was able to buy. It was aged in the store. Unique aroma. Milkiness and apricot taste. Very sour. Sweet and bitter. Good sharpness. Tingling on the tongue. I don't know the wood vat feeling yet.
Maybe I'm getting to know the ginjo aroma. It smells like an apple. It has a strong sweetness. It reminds me of Kinjaku and Imi. It also has a bitter taste. It has a nice sharpness. I thought I could buy it anytime, so it took me a while to drink it, but it is very tasty.
Aroma is subdued. Clear. Well balanced. Sweetness. Bitterness and astringency remain. The sweetness is stronger when the temperature is higher than when it is fresh from the refrigerator.
The ban on alcohol is lifted! Taking advantage of my eldest son's birthday celebration, I opened a bottle of a fine sake from the Machida Sake Brewery in my hometown of Gunma. Sweet aroma. Gorgeous! The first sip is extremely sweet! It reminds me of Imi or Kinjaku. The mouthfeel is thick and smooth. The bitterness and acidity are weak, making it a gentle sake. Happy birthday to my eldest son. Thanks to my wife for raising our son.
Good morning, Mitsuta24.
Happy birthday to your eldest son 🎉!
It would be great if you could enjoy a cup of sake from Machida Sake Brewery while feeling your child's growth ✨.
I look forward to seeing your child's growth in the future 😊.

Thank you very much... I will use my sons' growth as a snack and my increasing number of anniversaries as an excuse to do my best in my drinking activities!
My second son was born! I have to stay sober until New Year's because I don't want to be unable to drive when something happens, but today is special. I had been putting away the bottle of Jizukin that I won in a lottery held by Koyama Shoten for today! I was bound not to buy a bottle, but the lottery was different. I opened the bottle with a sense of excitement. It has a subtle berry aroma, gentle sweetness, and acidity. There is no bitterness at all, and it cuts through easily. It's so good! Jikin is amazing. There must be a reason why it is so hard to find. I drank it with Nosaku's kataguchi and oinokuchi, which I bought for this occasion, and I was at the peak of happiness. I wish I could drink it with my wife.
Thank you Rambo for your comment and many likes! It was the first hard-to-find sake so I was happy to save it for a special occasion. It was surprisingly delicious and perfect for a celebratory drink!
Hi Mitsuta24, nice to meet you.
Congratulations on the birth of your second son 🎉.
I'm a Jigin lover and I've been reading your posts and I'm so happy to share my happiness with you ✨.
Jikin is the best 🎵
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-! This was my first time drinking Jikin, and it's great. It's a bottle, so I can still drink it, but it's not available, so I'll enjoy it little by little.
Hi Mitsuta24 😃
Happy Birthday to your second son ㊗️ 🎉Your wish for sobriety first came true 🤗From there, sobriety for emergencies is also great👍Reset it with a metaphysical 😋I look forward to future couple drinking 😌.
Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby. I am glad that both mother and child are safe. It would be bad if I was drinking and useless in an emergency, so I will try my best to abstain from alcohol until things settle down.
I was lucky enough to buy a four-quart bottle of Hanamup. I'm glad because I've been tied down to the 4-gou bottle and have given up when I found a 1-shou bottle. Moreover, this is the first time I have heard of a rice called Rikuwada. I had high expectations. The aroma is really nice. The taste is refreshing. It's not too sweet, so it's easy to drink. Fruity and refreshing.
For various reasons, I have decided to quit drinking alcohol at the end of July, and I wanted to drink Etsukaijin at any cost before that. First of all, I drank it as it is. It is similar to the Gunma Izumi Yamahai that I drank before, but the flavor is amazing. It has a very nice nutty flavor. I drank it warmed, even though it was in the middle of summer. The savory nuttiness expands as it is warmed, and the sweetness and acidity spread. I'm not allowed to drink it until winter, so I'm going to let it sit in the fridge.
Hi Mitsuta24😃.
Are you going to be banned from drinking until winter at the end of this month 😑 or about 6 months of training 🧘 😌 Good luck and look forward to your 6 months aged drink on that day!
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments. On a personal note, I am abstaining from alcohol because we are expecting our second child. It is truly a discipline. I'm looking forward to aging the half leftover Kame-no-o and the Etsukaijin Omachi that I bought with it in the fridge.
Purchased on a trip. I was satisfied with the Daimine cup I bought with it, and as a result, I brought it home. I had to endure the hot car interior for several hours. When I chilled it well and poured it into a glass, bubbles came up like sparkling wine. The first sip made me think, "Is this a white wine? The first sip made me think it was a white wine. I felt it was perfect for summer.
Vibrant opening sound. When it is poured into a glass, it has a nice aroma. It is sweet. No acidity. There is a bitter taste to finish it off. Slightly effervescent. Very characteristic taste. Many people seem to like it.
The smell of alcohol, which is typical of honjozo, is clear. The mouthfeel is sweet with a good amount of sourness and bitterness. The sharpness is very good and goes well with meals.
