I was kind of busy and couldn't go out for a drink or buy anything, so I had this one in the fridge.
I didn't expect so much, but it was surprisingly tasty.
It was easy to drink and went down very smoothly.

While doing a little shopping, I had a cup of Kikuhime to try.
I thought it would be more classical and matured, but it was surprisingly easy to drink.
It is even better when slightly warmed.

The project is said to be a project of young employees of Toa Brewery.
When I think of Toa Shuzo, I have an image of them selling very cheap sake at business supermarkets😅.
It is now part of King Brewery, which is famous for Hinode Mirin, and is also related to that Ichiro's Malt 😳.
It is light and slightly sweet. It is easy to drink as it is not spicy. Might be better to drink as a food sake 🤔.
Personally, I think that since it is one of the more expensive sake in Toa Shuzo's lineup (about 1800 yen), they should at least specify the name of the rice.

Today's business trip is to Osaka.
I have a dinner with my family tonight, but I have some time to spare.
In such a case, there is no shortage of Japanese sake!
Wandering around Yodobashi Camera Umeda.
I like sweet sake, so I bought this one.
I had a light 😏 at my accommodation until the appointed time.
It was both sweet and deep as I imagined ♥️
Well, time to go out 😁.
It's important to socialize 😆.

Bubbles Festival ④
Today's sake is Shichiken from Yamanashi Prefecture 😀.
Actually, when I cleared Yamanashi Prefecture on my first trip around Japan, it was a sparkling called Yama no Kasumi 😀.
It was very tasty and gave me the impression that sparkling sake is good 😀.
This time, the second round, it is Soranosai, which is the top of the previous sake 😀.
I opened the bottle with high expectations... it's still delicious 😀.
But... ❓😅😅
It is indeed a delicious sparkling sake, but while the Flax Cat Sparkling I drank yesterday was a delicious and superb champagne, this one was in the range of delicious bubbly sake 😅.
Maybe I made a mistake in the order of drinking comparison ❓😅😅

Today is my 65th birthday 😀.
65 years old, I feel like an old man all of a sudden 😓.
I'm old enough to get a pension from today, but I'm still working and my pension payments have been suspended 😓.
It's a happy and sad age 😓.
Goofs aside, I chose to toast with a sparkling sake from Shichiken, which will be my first time in Yamanashi Prefecture 😀.
Before I quit drinking alcohol, I used to drink champagne for any anniversary, but this Shichiken was better than champagne 😀.
Sake is good 😀.

A rare sake made with Kastori shochu instead of brewing alcohol. Have you conquered it with the Funaguchi-Kore sold now?
It certainly has a strong aroma. It doesn't have a sense of being alcoholic because of the use of kasutori-shochu.
I think I'll get a little tired of drinking this amount....
Personally, I think I prefer new rice shochu or matured shochu.

I saw it at Yodobashi right after Pon-chan was drinking it, so I bought it 😊.
According to Pon-chan's review, it is made to resemble makgeolli, and toraji means bellflower in Korean.
Is it just me or does Toraji remind you of Kunibun Taichi and Domoto Tsuyoshi's Fantastipo?
The fizziness is weak, but it is delicious with a sweet and sour taste like yogurt or lactobacillus drink. I tried it with yakiniku (grilled meat), and it certainly seems to go well with it.

I had known about Junmai-Nigori for a while, but had been having difficulty finding it because I had not seen it at any of the distributors, but Yodobashi had it. Yodobashi has always been aggressive in carrying it before dawn.
For some reason, I have the impression that Yodobashi is strong in Nagano Yamanashi sake.
They often carry Misuzu, Drunken En, Shichiken, and Kai Kaiun.
Maybe the founder is from Shinshu or Yamanashi?
The Honjozo I drank before? It is drier than nigori, but it is sweet, spicy, and bitter at the same time. It is quite bitter and spicy, but it also has a sweet taste, so I thought it was quite good.
It is sweeter when the temperature is higher than when it is very cold.
Japanese>English

I had a feeling I wouldn't like it, but Yodobashi had a variety of Kunimare on sale, and I bought it because I don't think I would normally be able to buy it. The Junmai Ginjo made from Hokkaido rice was more expensive, so I chose this one.
This is the northernmost sake brewery in Japan.
It has a tangy aroma and a smooth, light, and gentle taste. It is light and does not seem to interfere with meals. I wonder if it would be better with seafood. Let's try it slowly.
I think the spiciness is more noticeable when served cold than at room temperature. I don't like it by itself, but with a meal, it's delicious!
Unlike the sake I usually drink, it's like a veteran enka singer.

Manasaku no Hana Junmai Ginjo Hinomaru Jozo (Akita)
50% polished rice, Sake degree +2, acidity undisclosed, alcohol content 15°, underground water from the Kurikoma mountain range in the Ou Mountains
This sake is refreshing and light, but not dry. It is a well balanced sake that you will never get tired of drinking😋👍.

Yodobashi's sake fridge is always stocked with fire-roasted sake, but sometimes they have a few bottles of unpasteurized sake.
If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it.
It's rather fruity. It is fresh and smooth on the palate. There is a fruity sweetness, but you can also feel the sweetness of the rice. The aftertaste is long.

At the liquor section of Yodobashi Umeda.
They have a refrigerator, but all they do is heat sake. When we first started dealing with sake, we had a lot of unpasteurized sake like USUKI, Katano Sakura, and Yoake Mae.
These days they only have raw sake occasionally.
In the last year, I've only bought Toyokuni and Shichiken.
I'll tell you what I think of the sake.
It's a low-alcohol type that's in fashion these days. It has an acidity and a light mouthfeel. Fresh fruitiness. Slightly sweet. This is even better than I expected. It's light, but it's also very drinkable.

This is a sake from Nishinohomeijo, a brewery that is not registered in Sake no Wa.
It seems to be a subsidiary brewery of Hita Tenryosui. Therefore, it is said that it is used for the split water. The color is like a matured sake, and the taste is old. It tastes like Shaoxing wine. When you put it in your mouth, it's a little thin. I don't like it so much...
If it hadn't been aged, it would have been a mellow watery drink.
It says "processor", so I thought it might be a commissioned brewery, but there is another brewing company at the same address, so I guess Nishi no Homare Meijo only does the bottling? It looks like it was established as a joint bottling company.

Very fruity. It says it's refreshing and dry, but the overall impression is that it's mainly sweet on the attack and a little spicy at the end. It has a gorgeous taste and the price of just over 1,000 yen is very reasonable. Green apple-like.
It's a fruity dry wine, but it's not as hot as the dry wine claims. I think it is easy to drink even if you don't like dry taste.
