アラジンAt a standing drinking CHUIN sometime.
Kozaemon rice power Hidahomare raw.
The picture is a little out of focus, but it's not due to drunkenness but a technical problem 📷😌😌.
The appearance is silver crystal.
The aroma is blue melon with a sour freshness like plums.
The taste has a jungly attack.
Sweetness is also felt, but first the acidity comes forward quickly and spreads in the mouth, flooding the mouth with saliva.
The spread of the acidity leaves a tingling sensation, while the dryness as it fades away is refreshing.
A rather astringent taste remains on the tongue, and the aftertaste is rather short.
It is indeed a sake of the power of rice, with the flavor of rice when swallowed and in the aftertaste!
Thanks for the treat 🍶. アラジンAt a standing drinking CHUIN sometime.
It is Jikin Junmai Ginjo Asahi Hi-iri.
The appearance is a pale silvery yellow-green.
The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, suitable for the expression "fragrant".
It is pleasantly fruity with apple, pear, white peach, berry, and refreshing acidity.
The taste is refreshing, but from a deep sweetness, a light sourness spreads immediately and develops into a sourness that includes acidity stimulation.
While the fruity nature of the hint of aroma is unbearable, the acidity and alcohol feel sharp.
The lingering finish is medium and gentle.
As the temperature rises, the stimulation of acidity becomes gentler, and the fruity flavor spreads softly and fluently.
I like Jikin, I like Asahi rice sake, and when it's Jikin Asahi, it's bound to be my favorite.
Lately, I also like the calming aroma and flavor of the fire-aged version.
Thanks for the treat 🍶. ヤスベェSono Kangiku 4 kinds of sake comparison
This sake is brewed with rice called Fusakokokane from Chiba 😀.
It's amazing that even rice rice can be used to make sake that tastes just as good as sake rice 😇. ヤスベェSono Kangiku 4 kinds of sake comparison
This one tasted very elegant 😀. ヤスベェKaorin, who was at chuin-san's sake tasting, said that this sake was her favorite.
It's the fun of sake to have different tastes even if they are in the same family 😀. ヤスベェLast night, I went to my sake teacher (or so I think)
I went to Mr. Kawada of chuin-san to report that I passed the first round of the Sake Duploma exam and to ask him about how to study for the second round 😀.
I told him that I couldn't distinguish between Junmai Daiginjo and Daiginjo, and he said warmly that even I couldn't do that 🤣.
I was told that I don't need to get 100 points, so let's just go for it 😅.
He also said that if you try to match your sensitivity to other people's sensitivity, you will end up messing up your own sensitivity, so it's better not to take sake tasting classes either 😀.
However, the sake that will be on the exam is generally easy to obtain, so for the time being, I was advised to drink easy-to-obtain sake instead of elaborate sake that is difficult to obtain😇.
Also, the taste of sake tends to vary from day to day, so I was advised to drink in a way that would minimize this variation 😀.
By the way, I compared 4 types of Sono Kangiku at chuin, and this junmai sake was more to my liking than the other junmai daiginjos because I could feel the taste of the rice 😀. ジャイヴHello, Yasube!
I see you went to the "So-no-Kangiku" 4 types drinking contest 😁.
I was just looking at Chuin's Insta and thinking how nice it was 😋.
Good luck with your second sake diploma exam ✨ ポンちゃんGood evening, Yasube!
It's really hard to find a sensory thing 💦and I was surprised to see how different the 4 types are😊👍and I'm still envious of the drinking comparison😻😻 ヤスベェHi Jive 😀.
Thank you 🙇.
It was fun to compare the sakes from Kangiku 😀.
There were some newly opened sakes like Yamasan, but I chose this 4 sakes comparison without hesitation 😀. ヤスベェHi, Pon 😀
It's natural for each person to have different sensitivities and feelings, so it's impossible to match others 🤣.
However, I will try not to blur my senses as much as possible 😀. ヤスベェA short break and a forgetful note (iii) ヤスベェA small break and forgetting (2) ヤスベェA short break and forgetting (1) アラジンThe closing sake of the day was the second sake from Shinshu Kamerei, which was opened that day.
It is a Junmai Ginjo of Yamae Nishiki.
The appearance is pale silver crystal.
The aroma is fresh yellow apple, pear, white peach, banana, and fruity, with a beautiful rice aroma like white dumpling.
When you taste it, you will find a sweet, fruity sweetness and light acidity.
The sweetness then develops into the umami of the rice, while the light stimulation of the acidity flows down the back of the throat.
The sharpness is good, and the lingering umami, including bitterness, is moderate.
I drank a lot of drunken sake in the past few days.
As I enjoyed the various drinks, I wanted to thank not only the sake itself, but also the brewers, rice makers, and sake dealers, and to learn more about them.
Thank you for the food 🍶. ヤスベェHi Aladdin 😀
Shinshu Kamerei is a really good sake that I never get tired of drinking😇.
I tasted a lot of it in Yomoyama Nagano, but I still want to drink it again soon😇. アラジンGood evening, Yasube-san 😃.
At YOMOYAMA NAGANO, President Okazaki told me that I could drink as much as I wanted today, and I also drank at chuin-san, and it was the first time that I personally could drink Shinshu Kamerei so casually 😊. アラジンAfter moistening our thirst with the rainfall, we had two Shinshu Kamerei sakes that were opened that day.
We started with our favorite sake Hitogokochi Junmai.
The appearance is silver crystal.
The aroma is faintly pear and rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake.
Smooth on the palate, with refreshing sweetness and bright acidity flowing in.
It finishes gently and dryly with a hint of rice nuance.
The lingering finish is mid-palate with a hint of alcohol.
At low temperatures, it feels dry and ricey.
When approaching chilled, the dryness eases and the deep umami with soft sweetness, pleasant acidity, and a hint of bitterness can be enjoyed.
Hitokochiki is a quintessential Hitokochiki, and it is delicious 😊.
I wondered if the reason it felt a bit drier than usual was due to the high-temperature-impaired rice, or because I always drink something that has been aged in ice temperatures for a bit.
I enjoyed talking with Mr. and Mrs. Miyazato Okazaki, the toji (master brewer) and Mr. and Mrs. Kenichi Okazaki, the brewery owner, at the recent event ☺️
I had a great time chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Kenichi Okazaki, the brewery owner, at the recent event 😄. ひるぺこGood evening, Aladdin. It's been a luxurious day for fans of Shinshu Kamerei, meeting the brewer at the event and tasting two varieties at chuin-san 😆 Hitogokochi looks delicious💕. アラジンGood evening, Mr. Hirupeko 😃.
It's not easy to visit sake breweries, so I appreciate the opportunity to attend the event 😄I met the brewery owner and the toji couple and became more and more a fan of Shinshu Kamerei 😊.
I love Hitogokochi sake ☺️ アラジンIt was the first time in two days that I had not been able to go to my favorite standing bar for a while, so I decided to go there on this day.
To my surprise, 2 bottles of Shinshu Kamerei were uncorked! I drank as much as I could at the event the other day, but that's it, that's it 😁.
Before that, let's start with Amezure, which I was also curious about.
The brand name "Afuri" has been in the news due to a trademark lawsuit with the famous ramen restaurant "AFURI".
The news was out that AFURI (Yoshikawa Brewery) had won the lawsuit, although it was unclear whether it had been finalized or not.
So, Amezure continues to be released.
This is the first release of Amezure.
It is made from 100% Omachi rice with a low milling ratio of 90%.
It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 13%, brewed in the Yamahai style with a koji ratio of 40% (double koji), double the normal ratio.
The specs are a bit long 😅.
It doesn't feel like a brand you should drink for the first time.
The appearance is a pale greenish silver yellow.
The aroma is strong with sweet cream cheese, sour cream, and whey, typical of Yamahai.
The taste is sweet like honey with an impressive refreshing acidity and a hint of dairy products.
The second half of the bottle is very smooth, as if it were made with low alcohol.
The aftertaste is moderate.
I want to try the others 😄. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
