Icoma Sake Shop Chiyoda warehouse tasting event (2) We divided the tasting into two groups because there are many 😅. From now on, we will start with the type of sake to be drunk at room temperature or warmed up. Special Junmai Genjyu Fukunohana Autumn Agari When I tasted it before, I thought it was sweet and tasty, but maybe because I drank it after the raw sake, I felt it was quite spicy. It was originally a candidate for purchase, but I decided not to go for it this time. Special Junmai Nama-hai Fukunohana It has a strong sense of maturity. It also has a lot of color. Raisin-like withered flavor. It is like a Tottori sake. The acidity is quite strong. Quite a bit of 🫶? Maybe. Special Junmai Nama-nihonjyu Yamahai Kitanishiki It is more mature than FUKUNOHANA, but both are said to have been aged for about 3 years. Kitanishiki is easier to drink, but Fukunohana has more impact. I was quite confused and bought two out of the seven varieties after being allowed to drink them again 😊.

Icoma Sake Shop Chiyoda warehouse tasting (1) The first appearance of Chiyoda warehouse at Icoma tasting event Mr. Ikeda, a famous sales representative, was here. 👓️ We drank Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake Fukunohana It tasted sweet and juicy, but I think it's the type of taste that everyone can enjoy. He said it was their signature product. Special Junmai Nama Nama Shu Fukunohana light nigori It tastes like the first one with a fizzy taste. It left the biggest impression on me. Junmai Daiginjo-nama-genshu Fukunohana More subdued than the special junmai, but sweet and tasty, with a sense of body. Junmai Daiginjo Nama-Genshu Fukunohana light nigori I had this a few years ago. It was even better than then. It's like a regular Junmai Daiginjo with an extra bubbly taste. Chiyoda Kura's concept seems to be a food sake, but I thought there were many types that could be drunk well on their own.

Good evening, bouken-san. I was surprised to see so many FUKU-NO-HANA in the Hyogo brewery. I have the impression that FUKUNOHANA is sweet and tasty, so I would like to try a variety of it 😊.

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival I've never seen this sake labeled before, but it looks like they've been serving it since the 100th anniversary of the company's founding in 2020. The nose is muscat and banana-like. It has a gentle and refreshing sweetness with a little gas. The acidity is also impressive. As the label says, it is refreshing. I always think that every Kihotsuru has a strong Kihotsuru flavor, no matter which Kihotsuru you drink.

Tochigi Ai 🥰 Strengthening Month #7 Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival Tasted and enjoyed all of them, but chose Hitogokochi as the most affordable one! It's been a long time since I've had a Hitogokochi! The rice polishing ratio of 53% is very rare in the middle of the range. It has a lot of gas. It is mainly sweet and tasty, but also has a dry atmosphere. Not too sweet and not too spicy. Nozomu, I thought I need to drink more things 😅.

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival I've had it in the past and it was not my favorite type, but I had a good impression of it at the tasting, so it's been a long time since I've had it. It seemed quite fruity at the tasting, but a little spicy.... Sweetness is just an accent. I guess it was tasting magic that made it seem fruity and sweet 💦. It was similar to the impression I had when I tasted it before, but not as bad as before. Maybe my tastes have changed😅 Light at the beginning, but a bit nutty in the second half. I also feel a little nutty. Maybe it's still not my favorite type...

Sake bought at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. My favorite sake is the pink super Shiboritate that Umaisan bought, but I had already bought and drank it in the past, so I hesitated to buy this one and Kameiki. It feels fresher than when I tasted it. The umami is strong. The sweetness is moderate. The acidity is felt towards the end and the aftertaste is short. It feels spicy when drunk with sweet dishes, so pairing is especially important for this sake 🤔. There are some smoky nuances when the temperature rises.

Purchase at Takashimaya Sake Festival This sake is limited to the Takashimaya Osaka store event. They said it was limited to 120 bottles. Opened the bottle without any difficulty without spurting. It's a bit of a schwishy, pineapple-like burst of sweetness and flavor. The second half is a little bitter and spicy, but I think I prefer it because it has a stronger impact than the regular GRAVITY. It has an atmosphere like Kameizumi CEL24 Nigori.

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival Tamagawa after a long time for drinking at home Dark but firm sweetness. Strong powerful umami from the complexity with a little acidity. It's a raw sake, but it has a sense of security that it seems to be fine even if it's rolled properly 😁. I was hesitant and went for the fast brewing Omachi raw, which I've never had before, but I think I would have preferred the Yamahai 🤔.

Hello Kotaro 😃 I see you drank the miscellaneous liquor one 😳. Tamagawa has a kind of wild strength that is consistent even if the specs are different 🤔. The toji also seems to say it's fine at room temperature so that's a relief 😁.

When we had a BBQ at Wakata's house, there was a container of this sake with akabu in it. I heard that this sake is also good for a packaged sake, so I asked him to tell me where I could buy it! Thank you Yuki for the information 🙇. I heard Maru drank this sake and sunk 😁. Ito-Yokado is a rare place to buy in Kansai! Denny's, a member of the same group, is also going down the drain in Kansai 😥. We used to have a Denny's near our house when it came to family restaurants 😿. Welcome to Denny's! Welcome to Denny's! I want to hear the phrase "Welcome to Denny's" again 😢. This sake is made with 1801 yeast and Akita Sake Komachi. Unlike the bottled Junmai Daiginjo, this product is made exclusively for packaged sake, and the container was newly developed for this sake. The ginjo aroma is quite gorgeous. At almost room temperature, it has a fruity, melon-like flavor. I guess it tastes a bit more crisp when served cold. I personally prefer to drink it chilled, as it tastes more cohesive. It's definitely easy to drink, and I think the flavor is amazing in a packet.

It is said to be a drink that originated in California. Sold by WAKAZE, which makes doburoku and sake in France, and manufactured by Takara Shuzo. I'd love to try the California-made one, but importing it would be a huge price tag 💦. I've been curious about this for a while, but I found it at Lawson. It has a strong yuzu aroma. The mouthfeel is quite dry with a bitter taste at the end. I drank the sake version of this the other day, but YUZU is more like a chu-hai than a sake. The cost is also bad. If you want to drink this, it is much cheaper to drink a chu-hai or a sankappu. When I drank the sake one, I thought it was not so good, but it might be much better than YUZU. I think YUZU should have kept a little more of the sake flavor 🤔.

Overall, it is a little refreshing, and the acidity in the second half gives it a sharp edge. It is more delicious than I expected. When I drink it again, I get a good sense of maturity.

Tochigi Ai🥰 Strengthening Month No. 6 At a local liquor store that recently started handling CWS It says it's dry, but it has a gentle sweetness like tropical fruits or mixed juice. The second half is firm, dry and crisp, with a short finish. When I tasted it, I thought it was very individualistic, but it is really good. If I hadn't tasted it, I would never have bought it, so thank you for letting me try it.

Unusual sake with a 35% rice polishing ratio, yet it is a honjozo. Apparently it is a summer sake 🤔. When you drink it, it tastes a bit like honjozo, but perhaps due to the rice polishing ratio, it is a bit clean and has a muscat-like flavor. As the temperature rises, the rice flavor becomes stronger, but the sweetness also becomes stronger. The muscat flavor that I felt when it was cold disappears. The acidity is quite impressive, and as the name "cool" implies, it has a cool and refreshing feeling. Overall, it is a very unique sake including the specs. The more you drink it, the more addictive it becomes. It is said to be made with 1801 yeast and has a Sake meter of +2. When you drink it again, it has a strong sweet taste and a strong sour taste.

Purchased with Nanbu Bijin at Aeon. I thought it was the same date as Nanbu Bijin which was on special price, but the shipment was in July this year😅. Well, I guess it doesn't matter if the date is old for Tengumai 🤔. It doesn't say, but the official website says it's Yamahai. I imagined it would have a punchy taste, but it was quite sweet and the second half was a bit guttural, but it was more acidic and easier to drink than I expected. I was surprised at the taste, which is a little different from the label.

Tochigi Ai🥰 Strengthening Month No. 5 After coming home from Koshien, Monday is not a day for drinking, but since we won, I decided to open the bottle 😁. I know it says the cork will pop, but it didn't 😅 Slightly effervescent, with grapefruit and citrus flavors as it says. And beautiful acidity. It's one of the most beautiful type of sake I've ever had. I love that the flavor doesn't lose its shape even after a few days have passed.

I was curious to find it in the fridge at the Yasubeyes' store opening party, so I looked for it at my local Lawson, but while I could buy the liqueur yuzu, I couldn't find the sake, so I gave up and found it at the Lawson near my house 🤣. What was the point of going to so many Lawson stores 🤣! I didn't buy it here because I was watching a baseball game at Koshien that day. I found it at a Lawson in front of Koshien station and drank it while meeting up with a friend 😁. It was more sake-like than I expected. But it also has a taste that I guess they are trying to make it easy to drink and not too much like sake. Maybe they were aiming for both a sake like Mio or Argo and a sake like sake, but I got the impression that it was halfway between the two. Personally, I thought that it would be easier to drink if it tasted like Argo. Second and last match of the year I could only go to 2 games this year because I couldn't go on weekdays😿. This game I did Satter 2 HRs, can I go for 40?
