いーじーThe 2nd Kitakyushu Sake Shop Tour - Part 4
The last liquor store I visited was Fafa, which I often go to after returning to Fukuoka City 🚗.
Cold sake
Complex floral aroma.
Mellow and smooth mouthfeel
Good crispness with the umami of rice
Modern light
Slightly acidic towards the finish いーじーPurchased at a sake shop.
I was in a bar in Fukuoka and was having a lively sake conversation with a person from Osaka, who gave me a crab and firefly squid from Kasumi!
I gratefully received them and paired them with sake from Hyogo.
At room temperature.
The aroma was robust. Rich acidity and astringency reminiscent of yogurt and cheese. Classic rich type.
When heated, it becomes lighter with pleasant acidity and umami.
Suitable for advanced sake drinkers. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
Cherry blossoms have been in full bloom for about two days in Fukuoka, but the best time to see them is probably today because of rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow🌸.
Cold sake.
Pale and elegant aroma.
It has a light, elegant aroma with a hint of oriki and a refined acidity. There is a hint of sweetness reminiscent of sakura mochi (rice cake). It also has a youthful freshness like a new sake. It is a perfect sake for cherry blossom viewing. The aftertaste is normal.
Suitable for beginners and intermediate sake drinkers. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
Extremely rare?
Drink it cold.
The aroma is mild.
Gentle sweetness spreads gradually in the mouth.
Sake from Shimane has an image of being soft-water and somewhat heavy, but it was modern light and easy to drink.
The aftertaste is normal.
Even sake beginners can drink it. グラHi Eiji, nice to meet you. I also purchased it from the same liquor store. I have the same impression that it was modern and easy to drink. いーじーHi Gula, nice to meet you!
I see you bought it at the same liquor store! I asked the manager for a recommendation for a sweet modern type and he recommended Yamaguchi's romm and this TANE, I chose the latter 😂 it was light and gentle and delicious! いーじーPurchased at a liquor store. Rare and expensive.
Label purchase.
Cold sake.
Soft in the mouth, but as the name suggests, it has a great sharpness. The aftertaste is tangy.
It has the inherent strength of a panda bear, but also a gentle side that is somehow cute.
The aftertaste is short.
Recommended for beginners and intermediate sake drinkers. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store. Is the rarity normal?
I opened it boldly without hesitation and blew it out even though it said "be careful not to blow out"... I recommend putting it firmly in ice water before opening the bottle.
Cold sake.
Mild aroma.
Milky taste with a shwashy and stimulating effect. Slightly astringent aftertaste. The aftertaste is rather long.
We had it with fried food. Good with fried food.
Sake for intermediate to advanced drinkers. Emishikisensation 黒 古式生もと 初冬限定おりがらみ生酒生酛生酒 いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
Laughing Shiki, which is not that common even in Kansai, is drunk for the first time. Rarity is high in some areas.
Drink cold.
It has a gorgeous, fruity aroma.
The taste is neither heavy nor light, but very fresh. It goes down the throat smoothly without any stickiness.
It is the most modern sake I have ever tasted from Shiga.
The aftertaste is normal.
Recommended for sake beginners. 黒澤令和五年豊穣感謝祭 純米大吟醸 無濾過生原酒純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 いーじーAs with one previous post, purchased at a liquor store.
One of the sake of the Bountiful Harvest Thanksgiving Festival.
Rare and expensive. The stores that carry it are listed online.
Cold sake.
Compared to the Ho-no-Mai posted one post ago, it has a medium mouthfeel, slightly dry and light with a sharper sharpness. It also has some acidity.
The manager says it tastes like white wine, but I personally didn't feel it much.
I had it with steamed oysters and sashimi.
Sake for beginners and intermediate. 鳳の舞令和五年豊穣感謝祭 純米大吟醸 無濾過生原酒純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
It is a Bountiful Harvest Thanksgiving, which I had recommended and promoted to the manager for some time. I like history, so I was going to buy a bottle of Ho-no-Mai because of the Heike family crest on the label. According to the manager, it was his personal favorite among the seven participating breweries.
Is it rare? Sake dealers for the Bountiful Harvest Thanksgiving Festival are listed online.
Cold sake.
The aroma is subdued.
It has an elegant taste with the freshness of new sake, but it is light and crisp on the throat. It has volume and is not so assertive.
The aftertaste is rather long.
We enjoyed it with steamed oysters.
It may be recommended for sake beginners. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
Extremely rare.
At room temperature.
Not much aroma.
Although the water is slightly soft, the delicious rice flavor gradually rises to the top of the throat as you swallow.
When heated, it is fuller and spicier than at room temperature.
It has a long aftertaste.
Suitable for intermediate to advanced drinkers of sake. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
Kakuemon, a polar bear with an impressive label that is sometimes seen at liquor stores in summer, is the first hiyaoroshi sake I will drink. Other than Kakuemon, I am impressed by Izumihashi's Summer Yago, Kankoubai's Penguin, and Sengoku's Kabutomushi.
I first learned that this is the same sake brewery as Fukukomachi, which I drank some time ago.
The rarity of this sake is high in the Kansai region.
Cold sake.
Gorgeous aroma.
It has a mouthfeel like Akita's local sake. It has an elegant flavor with a glossy sheen, but the end is quite sharp. The aftertaste is long.
Suitable for intermediate-level sake drinkers. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
I had wanted to try it for a long time but had not purchased it. It was the last bottle, so I took the opportunity to buy it.
Rarity is high depending on the place.
Cold sake.
It has a slight floral aroma as it is made with floral yeast. I found out that it is made with sunflower yeast.
It is light and nimble, yet has a unique heaviness, umami, and crispness. The rice used to make this sake is Hyoukei Sake No. 18, which is unique to Raifuku in all of Japan. This unique flavor was impressive.
Other evaluations said that it was slightly dry, with a modest Raifuku-like flavor. Next time, I would definitely like to try the year-round Raifuku.
The taste is perfect with autumnal flavors, but it can also be drunk easily on its own.
Even sake beginners can enjoy the taste. いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
I drank it when I came back to my parents' house as a souvenir.
Is it rare?
Cold sake.
The lid flew off when I opened the bottle with carbonation, so be careful when opening it.
It has a citrusy but juicy aroma like a pear.
It has a strong acidity and sweetness. The alcohol content is low, but there is a bitter taste, which may make it a favorite for different tastes.
The body is medium and the carbonation is quite strong. It gives the impression of being stronger than Kaze no Mori.
The aftertaste is a little long.
It has a strong acidity, so it is recommended to be paired with dishes that have acidity. We had it with ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) in a nabe (hot pot).
Recommended for intermediate level sake drinkers and above.
いーじーPurchased at a liquor store.
I was going to buy summer sake but they didn't have it in the store anymore, so I bought a packet with a cute label.
Rare.
Cold sake.
Slightly fresh and gentle aroma.
It has a soft mouthfeel with a strong acidity.
The body is medium with the umami and weight of rice typical of junmai sake. However, the aftertaste is sharp.
The aftertaste is rather short. Cost-effective at 1,300 yen for a four-pack.
Good as an aperitif.
Sake can be enjoyed by beginners as well. いーじーAt a liquor store.
I bought this at my first liquor store. The owner said they have a rare sake.
Nara's Harushika, which I drank many times when I was in Osaka, is a new brand that has been available only at special sake stores for about 4 or 5 years.
I had never seen much of it even when I lived in Kansai, so it is very rare.
Cold sake.
The aroma is mild but sweet.
Soft mouthfeel, acidity, and white grape-like sweetness. Gradually more complex.
Sharp and firm, I did not feel the characteristic yosaku of Harushika. However, the aftertaste was clean and crisp, and it was very Harushika-like.
I recommend this sake on its own or as a food sake.
It can be enjoyed even by sake beginners. 
理華It's hot every day 🌞.
Usually, the rainy season is just around the end
It's already in the middle of summer!

つよーだいGood evening ☺️We have two kinds of plants ✌️I'm wondering if I should open a sunburst now that the rainy season is over. MAJRika, good evening! 😄
Finally, a white moon! This is the pattern of the manachi 😆👍 理華Tsuyodai-san⤴️⤴️Sunburst arrived at my place today 🙌🙌!
I want to open it on a very hot day 🤣🤣 理華MAJ 😆 I usually go straight for manachili every time because Koei Chrysanthemum is so refreshing, easy to drink and delicious lol 🤣🤣. つぶちゃんHi Rika ☀️
I'm on standby for this ♫ I feel like drinking 😆💕. 理華Tsubu 💕💕Kei chrysanthemum, it was delicious and stable 😂😂😋😋.
Oh no 😆I'm tempted to drink again too 🤣🤣 
理華I heard that Halcyon blooms from April to June 🏵️.
It had been a while since I got it.
I'm glad I got it in time for the blooming season 😍.
Now to open the bottle 🍶!
Oh😲This is a bit tastier than the usual Koei Chrysanthemum.
I wonder if it's because it's a spring to early summer sake
I wonder if it's made to be refreshing.
I thought so.
The second day, the sweetness became stronger ❗
I felt sourness like that 🤔.
Today is sweet 🤤.
On the third day, neither sweet nor sourness was prominent anymore.
It's becoming more balanced 😲.
The bitterness is also coming out 😍.
I like it!
Day 4, hmmm... bitterness is getting stronger ❔.
5th day, the same
So I liked it on the 3rd day 😍.
How was everyone else's ❔?
I went to Dazaifu Tenmangu the other day.
The iris blossoms were at their best! はなぴんHi Rika. 😊
Thank you for the healing pictures.
Thank you very much. 😌 遥瑛チチHi Rika 😃
Oops 🤷♀️
I see you opened the bottle!
I was hoping we could collaborate😅.
Did you come to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine⁉️?
It's within walking distance from my place too 🤣. 理華Hanapin-san 😆I thought it would be tasteless to just show a picture of a sake label, so I put a picture of a flower that is not a flower 😆.
The iris was beautiful 🎶. 理華Haruei Chichi 😂I opened it 😂😂What a shame we couldn't collaborate 😂.
I like going to the national museum, so I go to Dazaifu a lot⤴️.
I don't trust Chichi-san's walking distance because he's fine with 4 or 5 hours lol 🤣. Maa.Rika, good evening 😃😃.
I got these here for our April wedding anniversary!
You must have been such a flower! Thank you💕
I too have been enjoying the change of taste in a bottle of Kouei Chrysanthemum lately 😊. MAJRika, good evening! I'm so glad you're here 😄.
I'm a bottle of wine so it will definitely take me more than 3 days to get it. 🤣I'm going to drink it soon too 😁. 理華Maa.⤴️You opened it on your wedding anniversary 💕💕I opened it on an ordinary day, but I think it's a premium feeling to be honored with it 🎶and I think it's rare to find a drink with such a different taste 😆. 理華MAJ 🎶I'm also waiting for the day when I can bring home a bottle 😆I want to drink a lot of good sake in a bottle 🤣and with Koei Kiku, I wonder how many days I can enjoy the taste change⤴️⤴️. ゆう🎶Rika, good evening 🌙
The irises at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine are so beautiful, they look like they are floating on the water ✨ just looking at them is soothing 🥰 The halcyon looks fresh and delicious too 😋. 理華Yu🎶-chan💕💕💕Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is beautiful during the plum season and attracts many tourists, but the beauty of irises and hydrangeas during this moist and rainy season is also very attractive 💞💞.
Halcyon was also delicious and perfect for the season😍. 
理華Tearful TwilightOrange~😢😢🍊
I saved it for the remote drinking session & collaboration review the other day....
On the day after 3 days of sleep deprivation
I went out with my husband in the afternoon.
It was a beautiful day.
We went for a lot of walks.
We went out for a lot of walks and had a drink in the evening.
I was in a good mood until then.
But on the train ride home, I fell into a terrible sleeping spell
Finally, I was taken back home
When I got home, I sank to the floor in the living room.......
He didn't seem to wake up no matter what I did and left me there.
I couldn't participate in the remote or the collaboration review 😢...
.................long story.
Twilight Orange
It's so good 😢😢 tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears tears.
Too good, makes me even more sad 🤣🤣 遥瑛チチRika, good evening 🌇.
Well, sometimes that happens❗️.

I drank twilight orange, I sunk to the floor, and I'm sure I've done a virtual collaboration 😆👍Don't worry, the Koeikiku festival is still going on 😋😋. 理華Haruei Chichi 😢Please invite me to collaborate with you again 😭I promised to do so a long time ago, but I made sure to record it in my schedule so I wouldn't forget, and I was looking forward to it, but I'm sorry I messed up😅. 理華Tsuyodai 🎶This time we walked around Nishi Park and Ohori, and then walked to Tenjin 😆 On the way we happened to meet a friend we hadn't seen for a long time 🎶Walking with my friend is fun 💕.
I hope to see you again ⤴️. 理華a.ys.sake 😂I managed to make it home because Danna was with me, but if it had been just me I would have slept on the side of the road lol 🤣🤣.
I woke up in the morning and was very depressed with all the lines of remote fun flying around - lol! 理華MAJ 😢 always so kind 😭Yes 😆 twilight orange was so cool and the floor sinking was a collaboration with yukachin, let's call it a virtual success lol ⤴️. つぶちゃんRika, good morning 😄☀️
There are times when you do that against your will 😅I fall asleep in the middle of commenting on your reviews every night 💦I'm glad you enjoyed the Twilight Orange🍊😊👍 tomoさんRika, good morning😄.
It's normal to feel sleepy after exercising and having a good drink👍.
Twilight orange, looks good for when you want to refresh yourself in the coming rainy season.
I would love to talk to you next remote 😁. ゆう🎶Hi Rika ☀️I'm just happy to share the deliciousness of the twilight orange 😆🙌I'm sure it's a fun holiday for an ideal couple with lots of walks and outside drinking with your husband on the same day 😍Collaboration & remotes for the next time 😉💕. ゆかちんRika Shen, you are my friend 😁I missed you because you didn't come to the remote 🥺 You were tired.

No matter how well we get along, there are times when we need to abandon our danna and put other priorities on top 😂. 理華Yucachin 😆 I was saved from laughing at the fact that I was able to do a virtual collaboration with Yucachin on the floor sinking 🤣🤣.
I'll make sure I'm in good shape this time lol 😆. 理華Maa.😂I'd love to meet you⤴️⤴️Well, I can't take responsibility if I'm not what you think I am lol🤣🤣.
