I brought home some autumn sake that I had left in the fridge at work.
The aroma is citrus itself. Grapefruit, just like the label says.
When I took a sip, I said it was sour. But on the second sip, you can taste the sweetness. This is Tobiraizumi.
The aftertaste is a mixture of astringency and umami.
It is perfect for strong snacks. I'll buy it again next year.

I bought it with the last bottle of Genmai.
Nigori sake from Kawanakajima
Apparently, 30% of this brewery's production is this.
Local people say it's a staple sake.
Takeda and Uesugi forces at the Battle of Kawanakajima
It's a pure rice sake to relieve fatigue ❗️.
Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content: 15 degrees Celsius
Open the bottle and drink from the supernatant.
The sweetness of muscat-like flavor is pleasant.
The taste is even more rounded when mixed with ori
I drank it all smoothly😅.
Today, we will eat with chicken tsukune nabe (one-pot dish).

Hello, Harry Sakeboy☆(******)
So Kawanakajima is your standard sake and Genmai is your special one! The fruity taste like muscat is nice too~!

Holy is always a good choice for me. I noticed that the brand I've been drinking the most in the past year has been holy. I love Sei, which is unrivaled in terms of cost performance. To begin with, Gunma's sake is plainly delicious.
This is the "back" Sei, which is only available at the Seibu Ikebukuro event. Actually, it was a good memory that I was able to talk with the president, Mr. Imai at this time. I regret that I shouldn't have asked him to take a photo with me.
It's been a while since I bought it, but I finally opened the bottle.
The sound of the sip and the freshness of the sip make me think it's fresh sake. After all, Sei is delicious!
In conclusion, it was very similar to Suidama's Tokujun and Abe x Ozaki. LOL!
Suidama was the one with the status of sweetness and sweetness (but crisp), Abe×Ozaki was the one with sweetness and juicy acidity, and Urasei was the one with sweetness, a little acidity, and a little bitterness and spiciness.
They all happened to have similar expressions of sweet and savory, but other nuances were slightly different, which made for a great learning experience!

Was it decisive that I mentioned Tonosaki's name once🤭?
I understand! To put it mildly, I think it's safe to say that that cheer was the best in Japan✨.
Mehia's cheering song was highly addictive, wasn't it?

I actually figured it out from the profile picture on Twitter 😁 I can't help but play Meher's cheer song in my brain 😅 now I have Moya's appearance song stuck in my head 💦💦

I can't believe you can get Genmai at Seibu! 😲I'm sure it must be really delicious 〜〜♪ I've never heard of Kinmon Nishiki before, but it's a famous sake rice in Nagano🤔.

I've been wanting to try this since it was recommended to me by the Sake no Wa app 😅 Kinmon Nishiki is a Nagano rice that is often used as a local rice along with Yamanishiki, Miyamanishiki and Hitogochi. Mikotsuru was also used 😀.

11/24-30 I got the information on SNS that Sake Chiteno will open a shop at Ikebukuro Seibu Department Store, and I visited there in a hurry during my lunch break.
I was able to purchase the limited edition Shiboritate Unfiltered Raw Sake Kawanakajima Genmai from the Seibu Ikebukuro store.
Even though it was a weekday afternoon, there were always a few fans swarming around, and the fridge that could hold dozens of bottles was more than half empty...
I thought I wouldn't be able to buy it if I came here on Saturday or Sunday, so I wondered if I should buy a few bottles, but this time I held back with just one bottle because of the space in the fridge.
It's a special brew, so you can buy it for around 1300 yen, and it comes in department store quality packaging...
The initial aroma was a slight green apple-like fruitiness...
The mouthfeel is banana? Pineapple? The mouthfeel is sweet like a banana or pineapple, with a good acidity and bitterness, followed by a strong alcohol feeling and a long aftertaste.
It was a good taste that was worth drinking at this price.

Hi kumakichi0426😃 I'm curious about Genmai, it looks delicious. I'm not sure if I should go on an expedition to Ikebukuro or look for one locally😅.

Hi Harry Sakeboy!
It's a department store, so I'm sure they have stock available, but I'm sure it will all sell out at once over the weekend and it's hard to judge... They do this every few months, so you may want to check the timing!

Mr. Deer God. Good evening!
I'm glad you were able to purchase it safely.
I wandered over to the Seibu Department Store today, but there were only a few bottles of Shiboritate Tokubonjozo left... I'm looking forward to seeing you at the store in about half a year!

It is said that Kozaemon came to Seibu Ikebukuro, and I bought it immediately.
The person at the brewery highly recommended this Hatsu-Shibori raw sake. It's only available at Seibu Ikebukuro.
When I poured it into a glass, there were many bubbles. When you take a sip, you can smell pineapple, apple, and a strong sense of gas. This is good.
The sweetness and acidity are both pretty clean, and it's drier than I expected.
The aftertaste is just a little bitter, and it kicks off refreshingly.
It was a great answer to the recommendation. The taste is so good that you can't stop drinking it. I'm going to buy another bottle tomorrow.

Purchased at the sales meeting this month.
On the first day of opening the bottle, the aroma is relatively mild. Weak apple.
The sweetness is not that strong and there is some sourness.
However, the bitterness can be felt, and the bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
I was expecting it to be gorgeous, sweet, fruity and a little spicy, but it was actually dry.
But when the temperature rose, the pineapple aroma and refreshing sweet and sour taste came out at once. The bitterness is also gone.
I wonder if it is mild and refreshing for Genmai. Let's see how it goes for a few days.

Hi disry,Good evening🌛
Kinmon Nishiki is a little different from other Genmai.
Genmai is sweet and fruity, but Kinmonnishiki is more bitter and mature, but the sweetness and flavor will gradually increase with time.

I bought it at the brewery sales event in Seibu Ikebukuro.
After opening the bottle, when I put my nose near the mouth of the bottle, I smelled natto. Well, what kind of taste is it?
When I took a sip, it was sour. The impression of the sourness is strong first of all.
After that, the smell of pineapple goes through the nose as they say.
You can also feel the sweetness. But the sourness plays the main role all the way to the aftertaste. There is almost no bitterness.
After swallowing, the aftertaste is a lactic acid feeling like Yamahai.
It is certainly unique, just like the image of a strange sake. But it is delicious as usual. No, it is quite delicious. It is distinctly different from other sakes with strong acidity.

I'm having a glass of Kawanakajima Genmai unfiltered undiluted sake brought by a friend.
Sweetness, sourness and deliciousness, just like biting into a grape!
It also has a slight bitterness that lingers afterwards, so it's well worth drinking!

My friend brought me a bottle of Eikoh-fuji's Sake Mirai, and I'm guzzling it down!
He bought it last month when the brewer came to the Seibu department store in Ikebukuro to hold a sales event!
I loved Sake Mirai, so my favorite [Eikoh Fushi✕ Sake Mirai] is definitely one of them!
When I took a quick sip, the mellow sweetness and umami of Eikoh Fuji hit me hard, but then the bitter aftertaste was very complex and delicious!
It takes a lot of courage to buy a bottle because of the storage problem, but I can definitely drink more and more of this!
Rice polishing ratio: 50% (100% sake future)
Alcohol content: 16.1

I bought it at the event in Ikebukuro Seibu. I was so excited to have a chance to talk with the president of Saint! I wish I hadn't hesitated to have my picture taken with him.
When I think about it, I've drunk a lot of Sei, but this was my first time to try Hizirizm! The label is made of felt fabric, and it's so rich and gorgeous! I'm excited even before I drink it!
The aroma is not that strong, which I like. The sourness, umami, bitterness, and sweetness come out in sequence as you drink it, and it's like a story. The sweetness is elegant and gentle!
In fact, it has the density and vigor of unfiltered nama-gara straight from the tank, but it's strange that it has a gentle mouthfeel! Some people might say it's half-baked. LOL!
The second day is more full of flavor and I'm liking it more and more.
I can't believe that Sei's Ikkan has come this far. It has reached the level where you would be convinced if you were served it as a premium sake.
I've always preferred the fast brewing version of Sei, but from now on, it may be the right choice for both!

Taking advantage of the fact that I'm off until tomorrow, I opened a bottle of unseasonal Musa at this hour.
I bought this bottle when Tatenogawa came to Ikebukuro Seibu. I heard that they brought the remaining Muga from the brewery.
When you take a sip, you can smell the muscat aroma and feel the gas in the mouth. It is a good start.
It has a mild sweetness and a clean acidity. It is fresh and refreshing, not the fruity and heavy feeling typical of Tatenogawa. In a good way, I was surprised.
The sourness continues until the aftertaste, and the bitterness comes at the end and finishes.
The taste exceeded my expectations, and I can't sleep yet. Let's drink one more.

Akigeshiki produced in Kagawa prefecture
According to the person at the shop, it was sold about two weeks earlier than usual this year.
For an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, it's refreshing in a good way, but it has a strong flavor that goes well with lightly seasoned dishes.
The color is crystal clear.
