I drank it for the first time!
It's so sweet, it's like juice.
The entrée is delicious and the drink goes well with it. ☺️

As I mentioned for Kameizumi, one of the set ran out, so it became Kisoji.
I have some in the fridge that I haven't opened yet, but this is the second time I've tried Yukawa Sake Brewery, following Kinmon-Nishiki, and this one tastes better.
I also bought a bottle of Okunoto Shirakiku in Wajima, which was brewed by Yukawa Shuzo with rice from Shirafuji Sake Brewery and supervision by the brewery, so I am looking forward to this one.

We received the standard set. The junmai ginjo unfiltered raw sake was gone, so a different one was included in the middle of the set.
The first one was Junmai Daiginjo-Hyogo-Yamada-Nishiki, which had a basic taste, as expected of Yamada-Nishiki, and as expected of jun-dai, with a good flavor and a sense of alcohol, no complaints. But the raw smell of the set was not suitable for the entrée.
Next, Kisoji Natsu Junmai Ginjo Namaishu (pure rice ginjo sake), with a refreshing acidity and sweetness, this was delicious. I wonder if they are combining similar types of sake?
Junmai Ginjo Nama Nama Sake Takaike 63, slightly dry, fruity and clean. It is not as good as Jun Dai, but it is also delicious.
In general, Kameizumi's level is high. I hope Takashimaya will carry more than just Junmai Ginjo CEL-24 as a standard item.

I heard it sold out immediately so I'm glad I was able to buy it😊.
It spurts up quite a bit but opened without difficulty. Strong gasiness and 🍍full sweet and tasty.
Sweet and fruity aroma almost from start to finish.
The impact of the flavor is more intense than the usual CEL-24.
The bitterness has been bothering Huayouyasui for a few years now, but this one tastes like the Huayouyasui of the days when bitterness was not a problem.
The third one is the sake-steamed scallion and kujo leeks from Masuya Seika, which I learned about from the wasabi soramame given to me by Pon-chan.
Aladdin told me they were opening a store at Luxe Aire for a limited time, so I bought it along with a can of Isogou 😊.
The freeze-dried asari tasted sweeter than regular asari 😋.
Thank you Ponchan and Aladdin for telling me about it 🙇.

There is a store near Kyoto station if you have a chance!

It has a subtle banana aroma, a tangy gasiness, and a delicious sweetness that goes down smoothly.
But it also has an aftertaste like no other sake. I can't stop drinking Hiragana Takachiyo. The pressure in the fridge is at an unusual level....
The person who was drinking next to me said to the person on the other side, "There are 6 bottles in the fridge..." I'm sorry, there are 3 times as many bottles in a 4-pack....

Polishing ratio 100%!
Inspired by Nara Brewery's UNDERWATER (a beer made with Kaze no Mori brewing water, No. 7 yeast, etc.).
(By the way, Nara Brewery even used soyashi-water this year!)
Steaming is a process that alphasizes the starch in the sake rice to enhance the action of koji enzymes and make the rice easier to dissolve.
The brewery succeeded in brewing sake with brown rice without polishing it at all, based on the unexpected idea that roasting rice could be used like beer without steaming!
This roasted brown rice brewing method is called the Amorphous method.
In the fourth year, a small amount of white malted rice was added in order to reduce the graininess of the sake and to give it more body.
Amber in color, it has the appearance of a lager beer without foam or a lightly aged whiskey.
It also has a top-tasting aroma like sour pickles or beer after the foam has been released.
It is an aroma I have never felt in sake, at least not before.
The first touch is sake sweetness and a light gasiness.
From there, the acidity and clean umami typical of Bodai-Hashimoto sake spread out with a unique burnt and smoky taste, and then it finishes in a flowing manner.
The after-flavor is exactly like the lingering bitterness of beer.
It's as close to beer as you can get, but it's definitely sake 🍺🍶.
I honestly thought it was delicious ☺️

Good evening, Aladdin-san. I see you went to the Asano Fair. I have had Daichi no Chikara before and thought it was easier to drink. It is interesting that you use brown rice as a beer idea to bring out the aroma of roasting 😊.

Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃.
I went to the Asano fair because Kaze no Mori is my guess brewery 🍶I didn't compare drinks this time, I took one bottle home afterwards: ☺️
I like smoky scotch etc. so I was pleasantly surprised by the aroma 😳.

I went to the Ayu Masamune Fair starting today. I ordered a very limited set of sake to compare.
Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Sake "Ayu" is indeed a junmai daiginjo, and I can only describe it as delicious. It has a mellow mouthfeel, mild flavor, and a bit of acidity.
The next sake, unfiltered junmai nama sake "AYUMASAMUNE" is as delicious as the jun Dai. It is mellow, acidic and full-bodied, with the difference being the junmai's lack of over-polishing.
Then there was the junmai nigori sake "Sakororo," an alcoholic amazake with a refreshingly sour taste. Of course it was delicious.
Finally, I ordered a separate Junmai Ginjo "Hatsuayu" that I wanted to try from the standard set. It was both sweet and sour, and had a refreshing taste like a junmai ginjo.
After that, we visited Hankyu Umeda, Hanshin Umeda, Daimaru Umeda, Yamanaka Sake no Eki Marche, and also visited Edion Sake Store and Sake no Yamamoto!
Whity's Niigata Okome had a lineup of Sake-no-jin limited edition junmai and junmai spring-fermented sake. I would have brought him home if I had less stock at home....

Aiya Festival 2024 Spring ⑤.
I had never seen the raw version of Aizan, though I had seen the fire-roasted version, so I bought it at the Raifuku Fair at Asano Sake Shop.

Fruity and sweet delicious. Pitchy and fresh. I guess the second half fades out with bitterness.
I think there have been many Aizan wines that are a bit different, but I thought this one was a royal type of Aizan sake.

Good morning, Aiyama: ❤️
I think I might drink Raifuku more often that not Aiyama. Strawberry yeast or Sakura yeast.
It's good to drink some of the royal types and reaffirm that yes, I like the taste and have come to love it 😊.

When I find Aiyama for the first time, I tend to buy it, but sometimes I regret it because it's very expensive and I think it's too expensive 🤔I'm very sorry 💦I corrected it to Chikusei City 🙏I'm afraid of making assumptions 😱.

Since I opened it at home, it felt tangy and gassy on my tongue, different from when I got it at the restaurant.
When we compared three different kinds at the Koshi Fair, it seemed to go in easily like water, but it was thicker, but when we opened it at home, it was different.
At the store, I thought the acidity was stronger than the neighboring Junmai Daiginjyo Harusake Kanmba.
Both were delicious, but I went for this one because of the price difference....

My wife and I each had the chance to compare three different types of Junmai-Daiginjo-Special Junmai-Ginjo-Nama-Nama-Shu Aizan.
I was glad that we could double the amount of sake that we could enjoy together.
For me, I enjoyed the Wakamizu, which has a strong assertiveness, including the sweet and sour taste.

I recently visited Kikumori Fair at Asano Sake Shop Umeda 🍶.
The free ticket I had received at the anniversary event expired in January, so I added one last drink 😄.
Modern Senkou Kame no O 2024 (Senkin/Tochigi Prefecture).
Sentori is scheduled to be rebranded next season, and some of the sakes may only be available this season.
I've been wanting to try Modern Sentori but kept putting it off, so I drank it now before the renewal 🍶.
The exterior is clear crystal.
The aroma is cider-like green apple and melon.
The aroma is fresh and pleasant.
Smooth mouthfeel with a gassy, chili-like stimulation.
From the light sweetness, a hint of aroma as if one bites into a fresh apple and a fruity acidity reminiscent of plums spread fresh and crisp.
The lingering finish is short, leaving a faint bitterness.
This is modern!
This is delicious 😊.
I think this is a good sake that can be drunk light and unpretentious, and I look forward to seeing how this will be renewed in the future.
Thanks for the treat 🍶.
Tochigi Ai in secret 🥰.

Sake received at Asano's Kikumori Fair ⑤🍶Last.
President Fujimura, who loves the Somin Matsuri very much, is also an avid SNS user.
He posts detailed information on social networking sites about everything from daily sake brewing to evening meetings and his hobby of playing Splatoon.
He is an honest brewer, but his comments on social networking sites are frank, radical, and cynical.
When he is at an event in his hometown Iwate and only sake from outside of Iwate is offered, he mutters, "#⚪︎," or writes on a sign on the wall at the Asano Fair, "What is that enzyme agent and does it taste good? and so on 😁.
The "Hyakusei Odori" is a sake brewed with Rikuwa 132 produced in Towa Town, Hanamaki City, using the Yamahai brewing method.
The "Hyakuso Odori" is a local performance to pray for a good harvest in the area surrounding Hanamaki City.
This sake is also shipped after 9 months of storage from the top of the tank.
The appearance is crystal with amber tints.
The aroma is typical of pure Yamahai junmai, with a sour, sour aroma of mushrooms, sour cream, and iodine.
The beautifully understated yet full-flavored sweet-amami flavor spreads and sharpens with a pleasantly stimulating acidity.
The aftertaste is long and lingering.
It is a very Yamahai-like Yamahai, and I wanted to try heating it up.
Kikumori, all of them were carefully made delicious sake.
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
