After visiting Kintohira, we had Sanuki udon noodles and went to Kinryo Sake Brewery, which we had our eye on. The collection of sake cups and the history of the brewery in the museum are well worth seeing! While soaking up the afterglow of the visit, we enjoyed a tasting at the store attached to the brewery...and that's about all we have to say so far. The last one was Jun Dai! Floral and gorgeous aroma. The mouthfeel is more refreshing. The pleasant sweetness and umami of Yamada-Nishiki was gently felt, followed by the spicy acidity and astringency that tightened up the taste. It is a deep taste that is elegantly wrapped up by the lush astringency that comes at the end of the bottle! There was also a selection of limited edition sake from the brewery, as well as a selection of souvenirs! We had so much fun that we forgot how tired we were 🍶.

After visiting Marugame, we went to the innermost part of the temple, the 1368-step Kintohira mairi. The lush nature and scenery along the way and the majestic main shrine at the end of the path were both refreshing and solemn. There are many shrines along the way, so we received a lot of power. I will skip the visit to Kinryo Brewery in the next post. Then, "Kusunokami"! Melon and pear type aroma. It was moist and as described, juicy with a sweet astringent taste like grapes. When tasted thoroughly, it has a mellow flavor with a rich rice-like umami. However, there is a lingering acidic and astringent aftertaste that tightens up the taste, so you can enjoy the expansion and contraction of flavors! Thus, after touring the mountains and hills of Bicchu Matsuyama and Marugame, both legs had run out of energy.

Yesterday I went to Marugame and Kintohira! The curving beauty of the stone walls, the view from the existing castle tower overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, and the skillful construction made my heart dance from the morning ✨. I will skip the visit to Kintohira in the next post. After visiting the shrine, we went to "Kinryo" to enjoy a healing drink (tasting)! First, the Yamahai! Banana aroma. Round sweetness like banana or tropical fruits. Immediately after, there is a punch of spicy acidity, but there is no unique flavor such as a sense of maturity, and it is refreshing. The sharpness of the astringent taste that comes in at the end of the bottle is habitually delicious👍. Now, Hirosaki is the only existing castle tower that has not yet been visited! I already have a plan in mind, so I hope to visit when the time is right 💪.

Yesterday, I arrived in Kagawa again from Okayama! After enjoying chicken on the bone and 🍺, we went on our regular tour of the local supermarket. In addition to jakoten and spanish mackerel, I also found some ume-nishiki, which I will drink at the hotel ✨. When you open the bottle, it has a softly sweet aroma of custard and sugarcane. The mouthfeel is round and soft. The soft sweetness is tightened by acidity and astringency. It is not too sticky and is easy to drink! It goes well with jako-ten (fish cake) and spanish mackerel. The day ended with me wanting to eat jakoten endlessly. Leading up to today👍

Yesterday we went to Bicchu Matsuyama and Kibi Tsu! We were worried about rain, but it was really fortuitous that it shifted and we saw some sunshine. The view over the magnificent stone walls and town at the top of the mountain was exceptional ✨. Then we visited the Kibitsu Shrine, with its long corridor and historic appearance. The long corridor and historic appearance of the Kibitsu Shrine that we visited afterwards was truly heartwarming 🍑. After exploring, we crossed the Seto Inland Sea and drank a glass of Kibi-shu 🍶. When you open the bottle, you will find a deep aroma of nuts and chestnuts. The mouthfeel is slippery and dry. It is full-bodied with a punch of acidity and astringency, as well as a full-bodied rice flavor. It has a presence like nuts and bitter chocolate. However, the stimulation of the hot, acidic, and astringent taste tightens it up like a whip, and it has a good salty taste with a firm edge!

Hi stst, 🐦. I'm enjoying reading about your trip to Kagawa & Okayama 😊I remember being surprised that the corridor actually seemed longer than it was 😆. It's great that you can meet some sake that you don't see very often! This is my first time seeing this one 😳
Japanese>English

Hi Pon! It's actually quite a bit of walking! I was surprised that this is still shorter than it was in the beginning 🧐. It's an interesting sake brewery that makes demon exterminating sake and such, named after the legend of Momotaro! 👹

The last is the "Tagaji" Jun Dai type on the right. Refreshing flavor with citrus and melon sensation. A clean taste of sweet and sour astringency. The rich umami of the rice spreads through the flavor, making it a very satisfying cup. There is a slight sense of gas, and in the latter half, the astringent taste comes out and combines with it, giving a sense of tightness. The refreshing and crisp finish was also irresistible! The day ended with leek soba noodles. Sweet, crunchy, and fragrant chives from Okayama. It was the first time for me to try it, and I was amazed at how delicious it was! And that brings us to today👍.

Next is "Taisho no Tsuru" in the center. The mellow flavor of the rice spreads out in a fluffy manner while being minerally. It is a soft and yet deliciously astringent type of wine. It has a well-balanced taste with a punch of umami astringency and drinkability! It has the sharpness and lightness of a rugged, rough warrior. It gives the impression that it can be enjoyed as a daily 👍.

The second round of sake tasting! I started with the "Kyokusei" on the left. At first, it has a mellow soybean-like flavor and a dry, chili-chili-yaki taste. The umami is very strong, but the taste gradually becomes lighter and more balanced. It was a delicious sake that could be enjoyed both warmed and chilled!

Then the "Kihei" limited edition sake on the right. It is soft and light. It has a dry and astringent dry umami after a hint of green apple and cemedine. It is lighter and lighter than the previous two, and the flavor flows like a star. The astringent nuance that gradually comes in is unique, but it disappears quickly, so it is habitually delicious!

Next is the "Miracle Sake" in the center. It is clear and light, a complete change from the previous one. It is tangy and dry with a slight accent of sweetness. The astringent taste finishes with a sharp end. Because it is so pure and fresh, you can also taste the deliciousness of the rice, making it a great all-around wine!

Next, we enjoyed a sake-tasting session with "arayakki", a soft, sweet and spicy dish! We started with the "Sakushu Musashi" on the left! It has a classic, chili pepper dry taste. It has a rich umami taste like a mature sake at first, but then it turns crisp and spicy and disappears quickly, making it easy to pair with a meal👍.

Last night we moved from Takamatsu to Okayama to enjoy Okayama sake! We started with the standard Gozenshu with some local specialties such as Makari, Spanish Mackerel, Yellow Chives, and Garaebi 👍. It is moist and mild on the palate. It is not too assertive and does not change, so it has a calm presence. As you savor it, the round flavor of the rice spreads through you, giving it a well-balanced taste as an accompaniment during a meal! The taste is balanced and delicious as an accompaniment to a meal, yet it has a lingering aftertaste that doesn't linger ✨.

On a clear summer day, I took a walk around Shodoshima Island and Takamatsu Castle! The idyllic scene of olive groves. The idyllic view of the olive groves, the refined aroma and depth of flavor of olive beef and olive oil. And the knowledgeable mechanism of Takamatsu Castle was a day to be treasured ✨. Afterwards, we took a sip of Kawatsuru 🍶 while crossing the Seto Inland Sea. When the bottle is opened, it has a mellow, sweet and sour aroma of berries. The mouthfeel is round and smooth. It has a body of berry and red wine-like flavors, with sweet and sour overtones in a predominantly astringent environment. However, the clear, clean taste that is typical of jun-dai and the spiciness that comes at the end of the palate act as a balancer to tighten it up, making it a delicious wine that is full-bodied but also has a good balance! A wine glass will be a big help for this one 🍷. Jako-ten" is a must when you come to Shikoku! It's a gem you can't miss 😋.

The other bottle was the first "empty tree" I've ever seen! When opened, the bottle has a lychee and apple aroma. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing. It has a similar flavor profile to the previous bottle, but this one is more crisp and a bit dry. It has a sweet, spicy, acidic, and astringent flavor, but it is also mineral and easy to drink, and this one was a perfect combination with shichimi gizzards👍. After that, we spent the night and safely returned to Takamatsu! We started the morning with Naruto wakame seaweed & Sanuki udon noodles 😋.

After 10 straight days of work, I'm off to the Seto Inland Sea: 🏖️ Last night I had a drink on the sleeper express for the first time in two years! Fruity aroma of pear, melon, and muscatel type when you open the bottle. The mouthfeel is smooth, clean and pleasantly fresh. The soft and pure sweetness is followed by a juicy astringent taste. It is not too assertive, but flows elegantly and disappears, making it an unbearably delicious wine to drink while enjoying the night view! It was a perfect match for the Cheetara as well ✨.

We will enjoy a pair of Hououmida & Akabu in a sake comparison style, because the future of sake is the future of sake✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is rich with a wide range of flavors such as peach, berry, and chocolate. The palate is clear, clean and refined. It has a gaseous and refreshing taste, but it also has an elegant sweet and astringent flavor and a light punch of acidity and spiciness, making it quite rich. In addition to the mellow, mellow core of chocolate, spice, and white peach, it also has a crisp sharpness, so it can be enjoyed with a good sense of crispness! After a few days, the juiciness and spread of the sweetness increases, and you can't help but smile and say, "I've been waiting for this! Hououmida" also lost its hardness from the first day and became smoother in texture! It is as delicious as if it were blossoming 👐.

It has been quite a while since we have had a "Houou Mita"! The tag-team with Sake Mirai alone raises our expectations, but we are also excited about the type with more attributes, such as jun-dai, nama-hashiro, and 2 years of aging...! When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a fresh, lush aroma of rum, herbs, and green apples. The mouthfeel is slippery, and it melts into the palate in a supple manner. It has a soft sweetness and a crisp acidity that even feels fresh. The depth of the aroma is also gradually followed by a spicy and astringent sensation. It seems flexible, but it has a robust taste. There is not much flavor of maturity, but just a hint of grape-like fruitiness and umami. It has a floral quality that disappears softly, making it easy to drink ✨. This is a new frontier! Sake is still very deep and interesting 👐.

I was about to finally buy my longed-for "Ii Yu" when I found this limited-edition shipment. I selected this one because it was also my destiny! When I opened the bottle and poured it, I could smell the aroma of nuts, chestnuts, butter, and other aromas. The palate is smooth with an oily feel and a bit gassy. The palate is full of colorful and rich flavors reminiscent of chestnuts, nuts, brown sugar, and butter! The sweet, spicy, acidic astringency is also balled up and deep. However, it has a mineral brightness and smoothness, so after the explosion of deliciousness, it converges and disappears in a precise and beautiful taste ✨. I was smitten with a worldview that was deeper than I had imagined 😋. Personally, I was more captivated than when I drank the ⭐5 series...!

This is the first type without a front label that I have seen in a long time. The amount of nigori had a visual impact, so I got one to try! When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was like that of lactic acid beverages such as calpis. The taste is thick and the nigori flavor attacks directly! It has a creamy sweetness that is almost sugary, but the spicy astringency that comes afterward tightens it up and makes it disappear gradually. When served on the rocks, the sweetness becomes less pronounced, and the refreshing acidity in the background gives it a lactic acid drink-like flavor. It is a good combination with the dark flavors of pork marinated in miso and sea urchin jellyfish that I happened to be eating! It's rich, but it's a gentle taste that goes well with meals ✨. It's starting to get a little hot this time of year. It's a great drink to enjoy on the rocks 😋.

I saw this brand at Hikone Castle last year and was curious about it. I saw it for sale at an antenna store I stopped by the other day, so I went and got it 👐. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was like brown sugar, black vinegar, and bitter chocolate. The mouthfeel is round and soft. It is dark and bitter with an acidic astringent taste, but the softness and brown sugar-like sweetness give it a moderate balance that is not too heavy. It is not rough and is full of the mellow flavor of rice. However, the bright stimulation of acidity and the crisp sharpness are just the right amount of saltiness. It is a delicious wine that is easy to pair with meals ✨. I wondered if "Doukan" was that Ota Doukan... but it turns out that the Ota family made this very sake 🧐. I learned another history lesson!
