This is the first time for me to drink Hoshimatsuri.
It has a sweet aroma on the nose. When you drink it, it is gorgeous and sweet, but not too sweet and relatively dry.
It has a strong apple flavor.
The fact that it is not sweet may be due to its summery nature.
When drunk in tandem with Takeyuki, this one seems a bit lacking....
On the way back from GW Nara, I stopped by Takashimaya and bought it along with Nagurayama.
It has a gaseous feeling with a hint of a whiff of gas. It has a sweet aroma and a rich berry-like sweet flavor. I like it very much among all the Eiko-Fuji I have had so far.
The berry sweetness gives it a very modern feel for a moment, but the bitterness at the end is what makes it different.
This is the royal road taste of Eikoufuji.
I feel like I can find Eikoufuji at Takashimaya these days.
Good evening, bouken-san! I didn't know that you can buy Eiko Fuji at Takashimaya 😳I like it, but it's too bad I don't see it very often, so that helps 😄I'll take a peek next time!
Hi Aladdin, good evening 😊
I went a few times between March and May and some days there were multiple varieties lined up 😊 and when there weren't, they didn't have any at all, so I'm sorry if you didn't go there 🙏.
Good evening, T.KISO 😃.
It's a sweet and tasty sake, but not heavy and you don't get tired of drinking it 😋By the way, I don't smoke, but I'm a Setta man 😆.
Slightly fizzy and fruity. Sweeter than expected.
I like this a lot. Fruity, sweet and tasty, with a trace of bitterness.
You can't go wrong with Nagurayama no matter what you drink.
I think it might be my favorite among all the Nagurayama I've had so far.
After 2 days, the gas is still there, but the bitterness seems to have increased.
Purchased at Takashimaya in Namba. If I check Takashimaya every week, can I get a lot of Eiko-Fuji?
It is fresh and fruity with a slight effervescence. It's sweet, but has a nice sharpness and a strong sake taste. I think it hits the perfect line.
I don't think it is that sweet and gorgeous type of Eiko-Fuji.
Good morning, bouken: ☀️
I wonder if it's because it's brewed with edible rice.
I was wondering whether I should buy it yesterday, but I decided to buy another one.
Hi T.KISO 😃
I was wondering if the milling ratio has something to do with it since Eiko-Fuji uses other edible rice? I was wondering 🤔The rice is junmai spec, which is rare for Eiko-Fuji 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Lutertemi 😊.
I see you are waiting for your turn 😁I had the impression that you are on the edge of the line between Eikofuji-ness and sake-ness 🤔.
I know that's a crude explanation 🤣.
Sake made with Hazhu Honor.
At Takashimaya, there were three kinds of sake on the shelf, including Jukinmu and Akaban Omachi, so I chose this one.
It is sweet and fruity, but as the label on the back says, it has a refreshing feeling. It is gorgeous but not showy. Fine gas feeling.
New products from Koshino-Kanme. Spring season only?
It has a high alcohol content, but it is not a pure sake. If you drink it cold as it is, it is quite gorgeous, and the second half comes with a big thump. It goes very well with soda. It was better than I expected.
It has both a floral and rice flavor.
Hello, bouken!
I also have a bottle of 2 Sho, a souvenir from Niigata.
I've been drinking it on the rocks or with soda lately😄
I thought it would be too thin to drink.
I thought it would be too thin to drink, but it's nice with a refreshing sweetness.
I think I'll save it for the summer 🤔.
Hello bouken!
I see they are making a new label for Koshino-Kanme too! I saw it for the first time 😳
I see that Lagoon = Lagoon. Niigata=New lagoon I said something silly 🤐.
Good evening, Pon-chan.
The label is also very unlike Echino Kanme, you can tell it's a new product just by looking at it 😸.
New Lagoon is certainly Niigata 🤣.
I've had Kikunosato, a limited edition of the Meimon Shukai, a few times, but it's been a while since I've had Ona.
Clear and clean type. The aroma is muscat. When you drink it, it has a gentle sweetness and a delicious rice flavor.
bouken3♪
Thank you for drinking local Tochigi sake.
Thank you👍
Ona is like water.
It is an image that comes in easily 😌.
I don't think it's likely to happen.
Sake like this
Good evening, tkmts 😃.
I drank Aizan Kirei before, and you are right, the quality of the sake was like water and it went right in. I don't think there is anything else like it in the world, yet it has a strong drinkability 👯 Also, Kyokko Yumachi is waiting for you 🤗.
A test brew with undisclosed specs.
I didn't see it at any liquor stores in Kansai, but quite a while later, Takashimaya in Namba had it.
I wonder if they brought it from a store in the Kanto area? They also had Eiko-Fuji's Yami Naraku Akimizu at the same time.
This is the first time I've had Koshi's Aruzoe.
It has a strong acidity and sweetness, and ends with a pungent spiciness and a sharpness that is akin to aluzoe. Interesting taste.
It is an unusual type of sake. I guess that's why it's a test brew.
The third one, Kaiharu, has 5★ 😯 I know the name Kaiharu, but I've never seen it for sale 🤔.
Muscat and grape-like sweetness reveals pineapple sensations in the second half. The finish is very long without being sharp. A little sourness in the second half.
It is a fairly polished sake, but I felt it was a sake with a strong umami rather than a beautiful taste.
bouken, congratulations on your 1700 check-in ㊗️🎊㊗️I always take the liberty of looking at your posts, but 1700 is too much 😀 I look forward to seeing more of your various alcohol posts.
Thank you takeshon 😂.
I myself think that the pace is especially fast this time 😅I think it's because I opened a lot during the year-end and New Year holidays 🤔.
Congratulations on your 1700 check-in, bouken ㊗️🎊 that's awesome 😆.
I didn't know Eiko Fuji was available at Osaka Takashimaya!
I didn't know that😅.
As a fellow Kansai drinker, I'd appreciate hearing from you again 😁.
Congratulations on your 1700 check-in, boukenlegend 🎉👏🎊🎊, your knowledge, your scope of action in visiting liquor stores, and your pace of drinking is just legendary😆👍and being in your 30s is too legendary 🤣🤣🤣!
Good evening, bouken 🌆.
Congratulations on 1,700 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉!
That's a mind boggling number 😁.
I drank Yami Narakuju water the other day and it was delicious 👍
Good evening, bouken! 😄
Congratulations on your 1700 check-in 🎉㊗️💮 Well, that's really a mind-boggling number! 😱I'm sure we'll break 2000 by the end of the year 😁.
bouken3♪
Congratulations on 1700 check-ins🎊
I think that's a really great number 😌.
When your boss gets mad at you, you say, "What's the price?"
I bet you're saying 🤣.
bouken, congratulations on your 1700 check-in 🎊This is a good idea to publish a bouken Sake Book 😄an illustrated book to look at before drinking rare sake 😉.
bouken Good morning ^ ^
1700 check-ins.
Congratulations 🎉!
1700, that's not half bad 😱.
How many years until I reach 1700...
I'm aiming for 300 first 😁.
Thank you, sleepy healer 😃I'm a bit of an obsessive person, so I ended up like this when I got to the bottom of it 😅I'd like to try to conquer all the local sake shops in Kansai 😸.
Thank you, Haruei Chichi 🥺.
This drink is delicious! Looking back, it was 4 years ago when I started, so I'm sure I'm losing my mind... If I lose my data, I might lose my motivation and quit.
Congratulations bouken on your 1700 check-in 🎊🎉㊗️It's too awesome to imagine 😳I'm referring to your wide range of classic, popular, and rare liquors 😊You'll hit 2000 by the end of the year ✨.
Thank you Yu🎶 😉.
I'm glad to hear that, because I'm trying to drink the ones that no one else seems to be drinking while keeping the famous ones in check 😁.
bouken, good evening 😃.
Congratulations on 1700 check-ins㊗️🎉🎊!
We share the same Kansai region, so I refer to it all the time 🙏.
I look forward to more reviews 🤣.
bouken, good evening ⭐.
Congratulations on your 1700 check-ins 🎉🎉🎉.
That's awesome. I've taken the liberty of reviewing a lot of drinks I don't know about, but many of them I haven't come across in my neighborhood 😭.
Good evening, Rafa papa😄
Thank you very much 😹I haven't been able to go to Kadoya-san, so I'm envious of your sake collection 😁especially the Hayaseura from the other day.
I come to Takashimaya in Namba once a year, but I missed it last year, so I bought it this time.
Gyoda is the location of Rikuo, right?
The Junmai Daiginjo raw was more gorgeous and tasty, but a bit expensive, so I went with this one.
It's not a modern type, but it's full of gentle rice flavor. It was said to be dry, but it wasn't that dry, was it?
It's pure rice, but it has the type of taste you'd expect from an alcoholic beverage. It has a sweetness at the beginning, but in the second half, the alcohol comes in strong.
It's a sake made with water yeast.
I found it in Takashimaya, so I bought it after a long time.
It is fresh and well balanced sweet and spicy. It is quite refreshing. I think it is easy to drink without any peculiarities among the mizuhashan.
I saw it at Takashimaya and thought I hadn't drunk Sawanoi raw, so I bought it together with Motomotsuru.
It's fresh, a little sweet, and a little pungent, and it settles quickly. There is a roughness to it as well. There is a little gas?
It is a sales trip of the department store, but because it was not possible to taste it, I asked the staff and bought it. It was easier to drink than the clerk had said. The balance of sweet and spicy and light feeling is better than I thought. It is a type that can be drunk with food or by itself.
When I drink it again, it's quite citrusy and fruity. It also has a little bit of black tea.
I saw it for the first time at a department store tasting sale, so I bought it. It's not listed on the label, but according to the brewer's description, it's unfiltered undiluted sake. It says "light nigori" but it's not cloudy at all (laughs). It's refreshing and easy to drink. The acidity in the second half is impressive.
It's a 500ml bottle with a unique design that looks like a Yonsei (four-group). It's not a fruity type of sake, but a sour sweetness. The taste is not fruity but sour and sweet. It is like a noble brew.
I heard he uses a time-consuming method called "balance pressing". Was the Miyako Bijin also made by pressing the balance? It doesn't say, but it says it's 100% Yamadanishiki and 70% polished. Honjozo or regular sake? Gentle and rough coexistence. It has a gentle and elegant sweetness, with a hint of grain and herbs. The taste is smooth and gentle at the beginning, but the alcohol is strong in the latter half. It has a high alcohol content.
It's a local liquor, but you can only see it at tastings in department stores. They don't have a website and the whole lineup is a mystery. The person in charge of the tasting said it was freshly packed. There is no description of the rice polishing ratio and it is not clear if it is a regular sake or a honjozo. It has a strong gas flavor and it is very soft. The bitterness and sharpness are impressive.
I've heard rumors that Jumizusui brewing is a thick brew, but it is indeed a thick brew. The rice flavor and sweetness is intense. It has a slightly crisp finish.
