Good evening. I am a cold sake supremacist. But sometimes I want to know the goodness of room temperature sake. I bought a bottle of Gunma-izumi at the first store I went to with this in mind! It is a representative of cold and hot sake! What do you think? Let's get to it!
The aroma is more intense than floral, with a strong, full, sweet rice aroma. The soft mouthfeel has a sweetness as if you are eating fluffy rice, and the sourness that surrounds it is very nice. It is an amazing sake that makes you realize that this is what the flavor of rice is all about. It is a strong, full-bodied sake with a lot of sharpness. It is a classic sake, and I think it is a sake for a select group of people. However, it is a dangerous sake in the sense that it disappears before you know it if you keep drinking it with half a doubt in your mind. If you really want to enjoy a classic sake, you should drink Gunma-izumi. I don't have any at the moment, but I will write about my impressions of the hot sake later, so please wait a little while. Thank you again for the food and drink tonight!
P.S.
I tried heating it up. Oh, the good aroma of the rice is still there, but the umami of the rice has been added to the richness, the acidity has become sharper, and finally there is a moment of concentrated sweetness and a strong sharpness, just like a classic royal road.
I saw your post about how you are enjoying Halloween and I regret a bit that my Halloween ended in September 🤣🤣.
Tomorrow is November and I have a lot of exciting events like exams, medical checkups, and work related trips 😅.
I used to study with sake in my hand 😁I just get sleepy when I don't feel like doing anything 🤣I'm going to spend my mornings and evenings at McDonald's (McD in Kansai 😅).
Well, I've written about whatever came to mind, but this time I'm going to visit Mr. Takasago from the Kiyamasa Sake Brewery of Jikin 😍.
It has a banana🍌-like aroma with a hint of gas. The mouthfeel is gentle, with a refreshing umami and a citrus-like acidity that is gradually felt. It is a refreshing sake with no bitterness. The nose also has hints of banana and melon.
On the third day, the gas disappears and the sweetness becomes stronger, and it is easy to drink with a clear sweet flavor and refreshing acidity 😁.
I think the price is calm among junmai daiginjos and it was delicious, but I don't think I will repeat it because there are many cheap and good sake 🤔.
Good evening ichiro18 😌.
November is very busy month for you 😭
Take care of yourself😭
I've been wanting to try Takasago once, so thanks for the review: ☺️✨
I've seen it around every once in a while but I've never gotten around to it because it's too unknown 😂.
Good evening, Afio 😃.
Thank you 😊I'm going to try to restrain myself from drinking so I don't get caught up on my health check 🤣I also bought it once I tried it ✨.
It's a test of things 🥰.
Hello ichiro18 🐦.
November is a tough month 😳💦 you have a lot to overcome, take good care of yourself 🙏.
I'm sure you'll have a good drink to get you through the month before the exciting events 😉👍
Hello, ichiro18!
November is full of events 🎵
I'm so impressed and respect you for your study ✨
Takasago sanji has a different taste from what we have now 😋.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in November ✊.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I'm in a drinking crisis 🤣I didn't know health checkups were this exciting 😅 and I'm ready to break the cycle of drinking a cup a day (but if the fridge is full, I have to drink 🤣) I think I'm a bit ready to break the cycle.
Good evening, ma-ki-San 😃
I'm afraid to say that I respect you 😅I'm following the example of ma-ki- who was the first one to comment, so I'm trying to get around left and right 😥Takasago is delicious, but now I understand how popular it is.
Unfortunately, the BayStars lost, and I was supposed to take a rest day, but I ended up drinking 😅.
Another brand from Hanaizumi in Lo Mang ✨.
Mild aroma, I wonder what this aroma is 🤔 I felt it wasn't fruity. It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a hint of petit gas. It has a strong clear sweet flavor, but it's also very drinkable 🥰The acidity is also very strong, and I don't detect any bitterness, but it's refreshing and tasty ✨.
Second day
It smells of banana and melon. Huh? It's still fruity 🤔Clear sweetness becomes stronger. The acidity is a little sharp and the aftertaste is also bitter. More delicious 😁.
I tried it because it looks good in heated sake in a review by a liquor store,
Warmed to human skin, the sweetness expands!
Lukewarm: The mouthfeel is mild and smooth, with a full-bodied sweetness and a hint of acidity.
Kamikan (warmed up) It is sweet, but also full of acidity.
It has a sweet taste, but the acidity is also very high.
It is a delicious sake with good cost performance, so if you are interested in it, please try it!
Good morning, Hanapin 😃.
After a night, we have a lot of news for the next season and I'm feeling sad and hopeful ✨.
Oh, AKI, you know me so well 😁 I was so fast. The bouncing goal was impressive!
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
Sorry to hear about the BayStars 😢 but it's nice to have a local team to be proud of ☺️
I've never had Hanaizumi, but it sounds delicious with an elegant taste 🌸It's the season for heated sake 🍶.
Good morning, Hinahana mama 😃.
I know the time when many players left Yokohama at the bottom of the table every year, so I'm deeply moved that it became a strength to be proud of 😊Hanaizumi-san was crisp and delicious 😊I'm also learning about heated sake 😊.
Hi ichiro18, ☀️
I've been curious about this one, so I'll take a look at your review 😆 The flavor that changes with temperature sounds delicious 🤤.
I'm sure you'll love the nigori that comes out in the winter ✨.
Hello ichiro18😃
BayStars lost 😭
Let's have a drink to celebrate the players and fans 🍶.
It's a delicious heated sake that's perfect for this season when it's getting a little chilly 😋.
Hi Kotaro 😃
I thought it would be more like a classic food wine, but it was unexpectedly delicious 😊 nigori😍I'm seeing a lot of your recommendations so I'm looking forward to a lot of winter drinking list 😁✨.
Hello, Chirsta 😃
We lost, but we were in this position despite many injuries, so yes, I agree! I thought it would be better to drink it cold since it was described as a direct-filling of the vat of raw sake, but it was also good warmed up. I thought it would be better to drink it cold, but it was also delicious warmed up!
Good evening, ichiro18!
On days like this, we should drink 🍶.
I enjoyed the Hatsuroman so much that I was curious about the Hanaizumi, so this will be helpful 😋.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the sake as the days go by and the temperature changes 🤤.
Good evening ma-ki-😃.
It was a varied and tasty drink 😃I, on the other hand, was too drunk to review the Loman after drinking it outside, so if I ever get a chance to drink Loman, I'd like to get my revenge 😁.
I bought it because it is the brand name of Nishida Sake Brewery of Tasake 😁Zenchidori (Utou) was established as the bird of Aomori City 🐦⬛ and is a seabird of about 30 cm in height.
The "Hyakushikan" is found at Nishida Sake Brewery and is called "Hanamoi". The name "Hyakushika" is derived from the fact that the name of the strain before the rice was named was "Aokei Sake No. 140" (Blue Sake No. 140). Nishida Shuzo uses the name Hyakushikan 😃.
Bon appétit ✨
The aroma is like grape🍇, but with a fuller flavor. No gas. The mouthfeel is beautiful, with a touch of translucent sweetness, and there is a strong sweet juiciness to it. The nose has a fruity aroma like green apples. After that comes a feeling of alcoholiness, which is a bit like a massage 🤔At first, to be honest, I didn't feel that it was similar to Tazake.
Third day
The sweetness has increased and it feels clearer, but the sugar content has increased. The acidity is also clearing up ✨As with the last Tasake I reviewed, I personally preferred it after a few days 🥰.
So I was the last to do so, but it was a 200 check-in: ㊗️
Congratulations to ichiro18 on his 200CI 🎉!
It's nice that you're so particular to welcome 200CI with another brand of Zenchidori instead of Tasake✨.
I hope you have a good sake life from now on.
Thank you very much, Chirsta 😊.
I made it a memorial because the zenchidori is something special and it comes with a box 🤣🤣 I'll keep drinking it so I don't ruin my body w/ it.
Good evening, ichiro18!
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins 🎉.
I always enjoy reading your reviews as your sake activities are expanding 🎵.
A sake for a milestone with good sake from Nishida Sake Brewery - great 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan😄Thank you very much.
Thank you very much 😊I'm getting more and more swamped, and my drinking is turning into a maniac, but I want to try all kinds of alcohol, so I'm going to keep going 👍.
Hi MasaakiSapporo😃.
Thank you 😊 somehow I managed to drink up to 200 ✨when I saw the zenchidori I jumped at the chance to buy it because it was so rare.
I felt so many different flavors.
Congratulations to ichiro18 on 200 check-ins 🎉🎉!
Wow! That's a good number for a good drink ✨I haven't been able to think of drinking it, but I'll try my best to buy it after seeing it 😊I'll remember to put some down...
Ichiro18, congratulations on your belated 200CI🎊㊗️🎉!
Wow, this is a good one 😆This looks delicious ✨I have an image of Hwasoi rice with a nice aroma 🤤I'm looking forward to more reviews 🥳.
Thank you, Pon 😊.
Zenchidori is not easy to pick up 😆 I took the plunge to try that brewery's brand because I like Tasake 😄 It was more like Tasake if I put it down for a bit!
Thank you very much, Kotaro 😊.
The day I bought this, Urasato was selling Kirizukuba at a liquor store near my house, and I got a timely DM for Zenchidori, so after much deliberation, I bought Zenchidori at Wadaya 🤣🤣.
