boukenAiya 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.
Raifuku
Jungin
Aiyama🎵
Ibaraki
CHIKUSEI
raikkyo🎵
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. あねさん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 😊. マナチーbouken-san, good morning ☀I drank this outside and it was delicious, but I realized again that I don't really like Aizan 🤣By the way, Raifuku is in Chikusei, not Ishioka 🙌Ishioka is Fuchu Honor... boukenHi Ane 😃
Raifuku is famous for its flower yeast 😁I usually go for that too 😆.
I was so relieved when I drank Raifuku because I was always disappointed 😊. boukenHello Manachie 😃
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 😱. ちばさんI forgot to take a picture of the other set.
Not only is the sparkling easy to drink and understand, but it tastes completely different even though it's the same 30/90%.
Good. ちばさんI took the opportunity to drink "Nijuwari Sanbu" and "Beyond" as I don't think I'll get a chance to drink them very often.
They all tasted so clear and clean. They are delicious. Nf bapakSince 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.... Nf bapakJunmai Nama-no-Harakuchi Sakura
Junmai Ginjyo Super Dry
Special Junmai Namaizu Wakamizu and
Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurai
Junmai Ginjo Aizan
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. 
アラジン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 🥰. ぼうすけGood evening, Aladdin 🌙
Thank you for your quiet Tochigi love 🥰😊.
I didn't know about the Senkou brand renewal 🤔! I'll have to check it out!
Tochigi love 🥰, please promote it in a big way: 🙇♂️ アラジンGood morning, Bousuke 😃.
I too will be brand renewal before I know much about the current Sentori 😅I'm wondering if the construction and lineup will also change 🤔.
I would like to promote various love 🥰! Rafa papaGood morning Aladdin 😃
Are you going to renew the Sentori brand 😳⁉️ I've had all the classic and modern staples, but it's been a little while since I've had a drink 😁. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Aladdin 😃.
I'm looking forward to see how the brand new look will be 🤗We bought the first series of tanks for that reason 😊.
We'll still love Tochigi even after the renewal 👋 アラジンHi Rafa papa 😃
Yes, it's been a while since I've had a bottle of UA Yukidaruma! It's been a while for me too, but I just had a UA Snowman the other day and with all due respect, it was far better than I expected and I just reviewed this Modern Sentori as I quite liked it too 😊. アラジンHi Jay & Nobby 😃!
I heard that the first tank series will be sold out this season, so it's great that you have already secured it 😊I will quietly watch with my Tochigi love 🥰 to see how Sentori, with its strong brand power, will develop 😄. 
アラジン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. アラジンSake from the Kikumori Fair at Asano Sake Shop Umeda 🍶.
Kikumori Sake Brewery was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, when its brewery was partially destroyed, making brewing impossible for a time.
In 2014, the company borrowed a brewery that was going out of business in the neighboring city of Hanamaki with CF financing, and restarted and began brewing as an all pure rice brewery in Hanamaki City.
Currently, the reconstruction of the original brewery in Kitakami City is almost finished, and this season is the last for sake brewing in Hanamaki-shi.
Finally, brewing is scheduled to resume in February 2024 at the original Kikumori Brewery's reconstructed warehouse! We are looking forward to it 😊.
The brand name "Viktor-nage kara no jujigatame" comes from the finishing combo of President Fujimura, who was also a martial artist.
The face I've seen somewhere has a line in the eye, but this is the original story of the "Viktor method" (= a sales technique where the same sake is sold under similar different labels). This is the original story of the "Viktor method.
The third and fourth pictures have nothing to do with this fair, but they are concrete examples of the Viktor Business Method 😁.
The appearance is a mist white that retains a sense of transparency.
The aroma of cooked rice and freshly pounded rice cake is rich with a hint of fruity flavor.
From the feeling of gas that makes you shiver, the umami spreads with a slight bitter astringency, and it finishes with a transparent and beautiful sweetness.
Not dry but not sweet.
Very tasty. ☺️ まつちよHi Aladdin-san!
I also had a drink at Asano Sake store in Hamamatsucho, but they beat me to it 😅.
It's a strange label, but it's pretty tasty 🍶. アラジンHi Matsuchiyo 😃
Did you drink it😊🍶🍶The labels are all weird, including this one, but they are all serious sake and delicious ☺️
I'm looking forward to checking in with you too, Matsuchiyo-san 😄 アラジンSake from the Kikuzakari Fair at Asano Sake Shop Umeda (3) 🍶.
Cab Driver" is a representative sake that has grown to the point where it can be said that Kikuzakari is known for this sake.
As proof, it was sold out on the first day of the fair at the Umeda store! Even though we have one more week to go!
Cab Driver was the result of a conversation over drinks with Yoshiki Takahashi, a designer in the movie industry.
Although it is easy to be distracted by the name and label design, the contents are also full of Mr. Fujimura's character: the sake rice, koji, and yeast are all Iwate junmai sake.
Specifically, the sake rice is 100% edible Iwate "Kakehashi" rice, the yeast is Iwate Prefecture's original "Yuko no Koi," and even the koji is Iwate Prefecture's original "Reimei Hiraizumi.
It is full of local love.
The aroma is gentle and discreet with a nice fruity flavor.
On the palate, there is a smooth umami and a dandy bitterness, from which a slight sweetness spreads and the bitterness and acidity kick in.
While the sweet umami and bitterness are in harmony, it also has the impact typical of nama-zake.
It is an anachronistic expression, but it is a manly sake.
Very tasty. ☺️
I heard that it tastes good heated up, so I thought I would like to buy a four-pack bottle and drink it carefully at home. ヤスベェHi Aladdin 😀
You've gone Taxi Driver 🤣.
I'm also very curious about this drink, so I plan to visit Asano-san before Friday 😀. アラジンHi Yasubeyesan, 😃I went to Takudora 😁Asano and Umeda stores are no longer selling Takudora and it is doubtful how long the store's set will last 🤔By the way, Seijo Ishii was also selling fresh Takudora the other day 😳. アラジンSake received at the Kikuzakari Fair at Asano Sake Shop Umeda (2) 🍶.
Kikuzakari's sake bottles are designed by Mr. Fujimura, who is an avant-garde, underground and subculture-loving person, with his taste in full bloom, and the sake's hard-edgedness is not even slightly apparent. The bottle design is a perfect example of the Japanese taste for sake.
The sake bottles more than adequately embody the characteristics of Mr. Fujimura, whose roots lie in areas such as video games and martial arts, which are different from the typical Japanese sake world.
This is Kitakami Yakkyoku.
It is a junmai sake made from 100% Kame-no-o from Kitakami City, polished to 55% and brewed with Kyokai No. 6 yeast.
The aroma is again typical of sake, but it is not unpleasant, perhaps because it is unadulterated junmai sake, and has a gentle and elegant sake aroma.
The taste is characterized by acidity, with a taste of plums and plums, and a gentle finish.
The aftertaste is medium with a slight hush.
Interesting. ☺️
This sake is delicious on its own, but I'm curious to see what it would be like with food.
It might go well with vinegared octopus or pickled plum rice balls 🤔. ポンちゃんHi Aladdin 🐦.
I've been curious about this fair too 😆 I've never been able to get my hands on it because the label is so unique 💦 I'd like to try this one the most after reading your review 😊The bottle is also very retro 👍✨. アラジンHi Pon 😃
Aside from the presence of the label, the sake inside is a genuine authentic junmai sake brewed with sincerity and Iwate love, so I hope you will try it 😊I think you will be more into it if you also like it heated 🥰. 
アラジンSake (1) received at the Kikuzakari fair at Asano Sake Shop Umeda.
Kikuzakari Sake Brewery was founded in 1894 in Kitakami City in inland Iwate Prefecture.
The brewery's fifth president, Takuya Fujimura, who has been the brewer since 2003 after the sudden death of his predecessor, is a hard-core sake brewer that releases all of its sake as pure rice sake, pressed in the tank, and unfiltered.
Mr. Fujimura became the brewer at the age of 30, and last year marked his 20th anniversary. Congratulations on your belated success. ㊗️
First up is the Junmai Daiginjo "Denki Bosatsu".
Named after part of the name of a work by a manga artist that President Fujimura loves, this sake invites you to buy a packet.
It has a characteristic aroma with a strong sake-like character, with the habit of being an aged sake.
But it was aged for about 4 years or less, and was bottled on February 24, 2020 😳.
The taste has a soft attack of umami and acidity, followed by a sweetness lurking in the background that emerges in the middle to end of the bottle, which is also unique.
It has a nice sharpness, with a lingering sweetness and a fruity after-flavor.
The opposite of the order you would normally perceive in a normal sake😳.
The sweetness is deeply felt as you continue drinking.
I thought it was a deep sake that you need to buy a bottle and face it carefully, drink more of it or drink it warmed 🍶. ジャイヴHi Aladdin!
I was surprised to see such a sake label when I first started drinking sake, I didn't know there were so many other kinds of sake besides "Taxi Driver" and "Viktor Throwing" 💦. ワカ太Aladdin, good evening 😃Kikumori Festival ✨I wish I could experience it once.
After all, all the labels have so much impact that I can't get the sake information into my head properly💦. アラジンHi Gyve 😃
The impact of the label may be unique 😁It is similar to Miyoshikiku but Kikumori is more underground 🤔It is not often that we get a chance to drink all these together, so thank goodness it was a fair 🤔☺️ アラジンHi Wakata 😃.
Kikumori, it's good 😁, if you drink it ☺️, it's a serious sake, so we sake lovers will definitely moe a gap 😁.
It was fun to say the brand name out loud when ordering 😄. ひるぺこGood evening, Aladdin. I see you went to the Kikumori fair 😆 even the sign on the last wall is unique ✍️ Did you not drink the posthumous mackerel? アラジンHi Hirupeko, good morning 😃Kikumori drinking comparison is rare, so even though I couldn't meet President Fujimura, I just went to get some sake 🍶I bought a four-pack of posthumous mackerel so I can enjoy it later: ☺️ ひるぺこThat's right! You made a reservation for postmortem mackerel, didn't you? I'm looking forward to having the postmortem mackerel at home again 😊. いのしんIt is a sake that allows you to experience the splendor that only high-temperature fermentation can provide. いのしんOsaka GET
This sake has the pure flavor and fullness of rice. ちばさんThis is a set to compare drinks at the end of the year.
It was good to enjoy the clear difference in taste that even beginners can understand. ちばさんSweetness, acidity, slight bitterness, and a hint of tangerine.
You can drink as much as you want. Delicious. ちばさんAt the end of the year.
There was an Arrows collaboration that I was interested in but couldn't quite drink, so I had a drink.
A great tasting one. ホータローFirst place in aromatics.
Amazing. 
アラジンHakuryu Special Junmai Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama Sake.
This sake is made by Yoshida Shuzo in Eiheiji-machi, Fukui Prefecture.
I learned from Nemuchi's post earlier that Hakuryu has a Hakuryu from Niigata Prefecture and a Hakuryu from Fukui Prefecture.
I only knew about this Fukui Hakuryu😅.
I had a quick drink at Asano Sake Shop Umeda while shopping 🍶.
The exterior is a warm clear crystal.
The aroma is mellow and sweet like grapes, with a slight magic ink freshness in the alcohol.
Smooth mouthfeel with a sense of freshness.
The crisp, refreshing sweetness and firm umami spread along with a gaseous, fine acidity dustiness, and the acidity is light and gradually lifts.
The lingering aftertaste is a gentle sensation of acidity and alcohol.
There was no bitterness, and it was easy to drink cold.
It would also go well with warmed sake.
It's not something that gets a lot of attention, but it's the kind of quality sake that keeps sake lovers like us going.
It was delicious and you could taste the freshness of the freshly squeezed sake!
Thank you very much for the sake! ジャイヴGood morning, Aladdin!
I learned about Niigata's "Hakuryu" from "Sake-no-wa" 😅.
And the other side is [Hakuryu Sake Brewery] 🤔.
It is one of the breweries that has been supporting Eiheiji together with "Kuroryu", so they are very good at what they do 😁. アラジンGood morning, Gyave 😃.
I didn't realize that Eiheiji is famous for Koryu 😳Koryu and Hakuryu stand side by side 😅Koryu is huge, but Hakuryu is also a good sake and you can find it in Kansai 😄. YukiA refreshing drink.
The carbonation is dry and tangy, but then softly mellow and discreetly sweet.
It is like the refreshing feeling you get when you drink a refreshing wine.
Still, it has the perfect balance of sweetness and sharpness of rice that will make your back grow firmer! YukiIt has a clean mouthfeel, but a gorgeous rice sweetness that spreads quickly.
The slightly smoky aftertaste is a very nice sweetness that gently envelops you.
Slightly slightly carbonated.
A touch of bitterness on the bottom side, and then the sweetness wraps you up for a clean finish. Delicious! RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
