Chiebijin智恵美人純米吟醸

soumacho
Chiebijin in kanji 🍶 which I successfully brought home last month after attempting to obtain it in Kyushu. Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15 The aroma is mild. When you drink it, it starts out sweet, but the aroma expands as it fills your mouth 😄. The aftertaste flows with bitterness. You can also taste the rice 😊. The hiragana was more sweet, while the kanji is sweet but mild and calm in comparison.

Good evening, soumacho 😃. We only have hiragana and alphabet 😅I've never drank Chiebijin in kanji 🥲. The label looks classic 😋.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. The Kanji one is mainly for local distribution using the traditional method and the Hiragana one is a taste for a variety of people to drink 😄. I learned that there is Kanji in Sake no Wa 😇

When my colleague had a function in Fukuoka last weekend, he contacted me from a liquor store near the venue to ask if there was a brand he wanted. I checked and found a Yamori that I had never met in my hometown, so I got it as a gift 😙. Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 16%. When I opened the bottle, the lid almost flew off with a popping sound 💦 The fresh aroma and acidity give way to the umami of the rice and a sense of fizziness. From there it finishes with a slight bitterness along with the acidity 😊. Easy to pair with food and delicious ✨. My coworker also said she didn't expect to read Yamori as "Okunokami". Well, that's true😅. Actually, he bought me another bottle of Yamori in a different type, so I'm going to open it soon. I'm planning to open it soon.

Good morning, soumacho 😃! Congratulations to Yamori 🦎 for filling in Tokyo's ㊗️ 🎉You can see the national conquest in your future 🤗. It's not sold in Tochigi 🥲 and it took us a while to drink it too 🥲 but here was our first drink!
Japanese>English

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀 I see you don't sell it in Tochigi either😳 I managed to get a chance to drink it this time 😄 Looking closer, the rest are Yamanashi, Kagawa and Okinawa. I have slightly given up on Okinawa💦.

The other day, a junior member of the sake swamp bought me a can of sake as a gift 🥫. Polishing ratio 45 Alcohol content 16 100% Momota Fruity aroma and taste, beautiful sweet flavor 😊. The lingering taste is very sweet and delicious. The balance of sweetness and deliciousness makes it easy to drink and it was gone in no time ✨. The entrée was hamachi sashimi 🐟️ and Osakigamishima iriko miso, a gift from a neighbor. Thanks to my juniors 🙏.

Hi soumacho 😃 This is a nice souvenir 🤗. I can't buy it for myself considering the cosmetic cost😅I'd like to have it with a gorgeous drinking iron 🚃 when I go around Japan someday 😋.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃 It was worth dragging you into the sake swamp 😄. The price isn't easy, but it's designed for easy drinking outside 🎵. My daughter misunderstood and defended herself not to open it 🫡.

Hi Pon 😃 I was curious about this when I saw it on Sake no Wawa, so I was honored to receive it 😄. The taste is elegant and as you said, it doesn't taste like it comes out of a can 😁.

I had been curious about this Akita Sake Komachi because it looked so good and people I follow on Sake-no-Wa were drinking it. On a trip to Kyushu earlier this month, I stopped by a liquor store that had it and jumped on it 😊. Polishing ratio 50%. 16% alcohol by volume 100% Akita Sake Komachi This is the first time I've had this sake rice ✨. The aroma is not strong but gorgeous. The taste is sweet and juicy with an elegant sweetness, thick and rich, with a caramel-like bitterness in the aftertaste, this is delicious 😋. I fried the entrée, but I'm enjoying this sweetness on its own 😙.

Good evening, soumacho! I see you have opened the Akita Sake Komachi by Hanamaru 🎵. I also had it a while ago and it is sweet, juicy and delicious 😋. It is certainly a sake that can be enjoyed on its own 😊.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. Probably too sweet by Jay & Nobby's standards 😁. But the thing about sake is that it has such a wide range that it's hard to believe it's the same sake 😙.

I got Tenshi at the store in Kagoshima, so I bought this one for home drinking 🍶. Sake made by a shochu brewery. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15 Aroma is a little floral, taste is a unique type of umakuchi 🤔I'm not very good at it, but 💦. Soft and easy to drink with a little bitterness added in the aftertaste 😀. I don't think I feel much acidity. I served it with peanut tofu and sautéed pork 🐷, which I got in Okayama and is a local dish in Kagoshima. The peanut tofu and raw vegetables went well together 😊.
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィ
Good morning, soumacho 😃. Kagoshima indeed! Is the shochu brewery the main 😅 local sake goes well with the local snacks 😋. I'm curious about the peanut🥜 tofu!
Japanese>English
soumacho
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀. The label says it's for use in the evolution of shochu, good to know 😊. Peanut Tofu 🥜 has the taste of peanuts without the sweetness and the texture is tofu. It's like a perfect combination 😄.

I opened AKABU's Sake Mirai, which I was looking forward to since I have a holiday weekend starting tomorrow 😄. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 100% Sake Mirai produced in Yamagata Prefecture The bottle opens with a nice popping sound and the aroma is gorgeous✨. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the gas and the acidity is hidden in the sweetness, and it finishes with a little bitterness. It has a mellow flavor 😊. The entrée was scotch egg and hijiki with satsuma-age stick tempura. The combination with the stick tempura is delicious 😋.

Sanzenmori, the light blue label is refreshing 😄. Polishing ratio 45 Alcohol content is between 14 and 15 degrees Celsius. The aroma is fruity, the taste is firm with the umami of rice, dry and crisp 😊. The gap between the aroma and the spiciness was great✨

How about this? The owner brought out this one. If you look carefully, you will see that it is White Peony. I often see White Peony in Hiroshima, but this is the first time I have seen this brand. Polishing ratio 70%. 100% Chusei Shin-Senbon Alcohol content 21%😳 Sake, right? It was first recommended to be warmed up, and it was massive with a robust rice flavor. Next, it was prepared hot and when I had it, the aroma spread more in my mouth and the richness was more delicious hot 🍶. The girls in the store were drinking it as recommended by the owner, but they were wasted😅. The sake neutralized the salty and smelly taste of the marbled salmon and added to the delicious flavor 😊. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of the crowfish 💦.

Hi soumacho 😃 This is one of the first one I have seen! The name is like Kai!!!! And...it's 21 degrees 😳If I smell it without knowing it's heated 😅Karasumi and heated sake! That looks sooooooo good!

Good morning, nabe 😃. Thanks for your comment 🙇. It was delicious 😄. I'd like to visit Minamiaizu town someday 🚗.
Japanese>English

There is not much to see in Minamiaizu, but the food is delicious. Recently, Minamiaizu was the setting of a novel by Haruki Murakami, and many people visit the town to make a pilgrimage to the sacred place. Please stop by by all means, even if you are visiting Aizuwakamatsu or Ouchi-juku.

I was a Carp fan when I was in elementary school, and I went to Hiroshima for the first time about 6 years ago, and I will definitely go back because there is so much to see and do, not to mention the food and drink.

Thanks for the reply, nabe 🙇. I'm a sucker for food, so I'm even more interested in Minamiaizu town... 😄 Hiroshima city is getting more and more crowded with redevelopment around the station. I'm also happy and sad to see the Carp every day, so please do visit 😊.

After the second restaurant, we went to the restaurant of the general where I had a casual drink with my juniors before 😀 . We had originally planned to drink at the owner's restaurant, but on this day, there was a reservation for a group and we were informed that it was open, so we moved 🏃. The first of the three restaurants was Haneya. It has been a long time since I have had Toyama sake😄. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15%. Sake rice is Hachitan-nishiki, Hiroshima's best rice for sake brewing. I haven't had it since Kamo Kanehide 🤔. Fruity, sweet and delicious. I have the impression that it is well-balanced with the addition of acidity 😊. Looking back at the label, I see that Haneya is usually concerned with Toyama sake rice, so I'd like to try it with Toyama sake rice too 😙.

Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15 degrees Rohafu is Nara Prefecture's rice suitable for sake brewing It has a clean acidity from the umami taste and a spiciness at the end.

There was a Hokkaido sake I hadn't had yet, so I ordered Niseko. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. They use Comet, Hokkaido's preferred rice for sake brewing: ☄️ Sake rice I don't know is exciting😄. The taste is sweet from the rice, but it is rather light. The finish is slightly dry 🍶. Not flashy, but not bad 😊.

I've always been curious about the sake that was reviewed when I first started Sakanowawa. I never had a chance to try it, but I finally did 🍶. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity. The aroma is gorgeously fruity, the taste is sweet and delicious, there is a gassy feeling, and the acidity is pleasant and crisp. This is delicious 😊. Not a strong personality, but a good balance of sweet, umami, and acidity. It is truly light ✨. Why haven't I had this before? I failed to take a picture of the only bottle that day 💦💦 I'm doing a lot of things 😅. Why? It was so delicious.

It was getting close to the time for the restaurant we had reserved 🍶 so we went to the second restaurant 🍶. We met up with the other members and it was time to get down to business😃. The first bottle at the second restaurant was Kozaemon's Sushi Label 🍣. Polishing ratio 65 15% alcohol by volume 100% Yamadanishiki It has been quite a while since I have had a sake from Gifu. It has a delicious rice flavor and acidity. It also has a nice sharpness. I had it with sashimi and sushi and it went well with them as the label says 🍣. Can't stop drinking sake with fish ✨.

Yesterday, I had a drink with my juniors in Hiroshima City after a long absence 🍻. I was pretty busy at the beginning of the fiscal year and finally settled down. It was supposed to start at 7:00 p.m., but one of my juniors called me and asked if I wanted to have a drink first. So we went to a different restaurant than the one we had reserved 🍶. They have a lot of Yamaguchi sake, and I chose one I hadn't had yet. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15 The mouthfeel is clear and watery, with a refreshing acidity and a spiciness that comes later, making it easy to pair with meals. It is not like many sweet Yamaguchi-shu 😄.
