I was curious about Aladdin's review and since it didn't seem to be available very often, I bought it. Sake strength -54, using Iwate Prefecture's experimental yeast M7 No aroma at all. It is sweet and tastes like plum wine as rumored. Good for those who don't like sake. Slight but firm sweetness. If you ask me if it is cotton candy, I would say it tastes like cotton candy with a hint of sweetness 🤔.

Good evening, bouken 😀 I'm glad to see that we gave on the same day 😀 It's an interesting sake to see the change from cotton candy to plum wine 😀.

Good evening, bouken 😃. I didn't know it had that kind of Sake level 😳It might qualify as a run sake in terms of specs 🤔. It's amazing that it doesn't feel that heavy because of the acidity. But I would love to have a regular purple space 😁.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Aladdin 😃. I think it might fall under the category of orchid sake, although I think the impact is a little weak 🤔It was a difficult type to handle 😅I feel it's not enough if you drink it after regular sake.

Good morning Eirin 😃 There are many stores where you can buy purple air itself, but there are very few stores that carry only cotton candy 💦. It doesn't have much of a sake feel to it, but it was light and easy to drink 😋.

It was a very short GW, but at the end of the day, we opened a bottle of Shihu's Cotton Candy label, which we had purchased because the wife read Aladdin's and other people's postings and really wanted to drink it 😀. We compared the cotton candy that had been brought to room temperature for tasting, the cotton candy that had been chilled, and the nigori and hanamup of Nozomu. I felt the cotton candy and plum wine flavor more strongly at room temperature 🤣. The plum wine finishes off the meal so it doesn't interfere with the meal 😀. More and more, I want to keep digging deeper into Shihou 😇

かおりん

The first sip of the cotton candy 🍶, I was surprised ‼️ it really tasted like cotton candy. But it was not too sweet and turned into sweet and sour like Umeshu (plum wine) so it was very tasty and smooth on the palate😊Thanks Yachan for the great taste!

Spring Sake & Nigorinpic 1️⃣ 0️⃣ I've been seeing a lot of Shihu-san in Sake-no-wa posts lately 😀. This year, the third bottle of Shihuyu I stumbled upon and wanted to delve deeper into is the Harusake It's a cherry blossom label 😀. As you said, this sake is also a delicious sweet-tart fruity sake 😀. Not only is it sweet and delicious, but the acidity gives it a clean aftertaste, making it a versatile sake that can also be used as an in-between-dinner drink 😇. By the way, my wife requested me to take her out to drink the cotton candy label after reading Aladdin's comment 🤣. It's rare to get a request from the wife, so I'm planning to bring her cotton candy label tomorrow 😀.

Hi Pon 😀 This sake is not only sweet and fruity, but also has a spiciness from the acidity, so it is a good sake to use as a food sake😇 Now I'm off to stock up on cotton candy for the wife 😀.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Hi Eirin 😀 I've recently become a fan of Shihuusan and have now had 3 different kinds and each has its own flavor statement and they are all delicious😇. I'm even more excited to hear that the cotton candy is a great change of pace 🤣.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Hi Luteltemi 😀 This sake has a spiciness from the acidity, so it's not just a sweet sake, but it's perfect for a mealtime drink. I was going to pass on the cotton candy, but my wife insisted, so I'm going to go buy some now!

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Hi Rafa papa 😀 Surely if this label is printed in two colors, it is Myakmyak🤣. Wouldn't it be better if Mr. Shihu make a Myakmyak label during the Expo ❓🤣.

Good evening, Yasbay 😃. I have unwillingly gone through most of this season's spring sake, so your gorgeous drinking comparison is very helpful 🤤. I hope the purple space cotton candy is as good as your wife's expectations, but I'm a bit nervous: ☺️

Hi Aladdin 😀 By the way, I've been reading your posts, Aladdin, and I don't see any spring wine 🤣. I successfully brought home the cotton candy labels yesterday 😀. The wife is excited just for the label😇.

Spring Sake & Nigorinpic0️⃣ 5️⃣Continuing from yesterday, today we had a Botan from Mr. Wakamusume 😀 I can't wait to see how it differs from yesterday's Wakamusume's light nigori supernatant😇. The first attack was less tangy than the nigori supernatant, but instead conveyed a solid fruitiness 😀. So far, it's probably a matter of taste, but I prefer the light nigori with stronger acidity and piquancy😇. If you like a mild fruity taste, I'm sure you will prefer this one 🤣. Still, it was a great shock to see such a difference in taste between Wakamusume's nigori supernatant and a non-nigori sake with the same specs 😅. I'd like to dig a little deeper into this very nice sake 😀.

Japanese>English

Rafa papa

Good morning Yasbay 😃 It's strange how the same specs of the same brand can taste different 😳I wonder if it's a difference you can tell because you've compared the drinks😊It sounds like fun to feel the subtle differences👍.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Hi Rafa papa 😀 I could only tell the difference because I drank it on different days 🤣. Maybe the sweetness and piquancy is at the level of the difference after a few days of opening the bottle 😅. But I'm glad we could compare the difference 😇

Japanese>English

ポンちゃん

Hello Yasube-san 🐦 I am envious of you just for being a wakamusume, but to be able to compare the two! Also, it's interesting to see the difference between the clear sake and nigori 😊I usually prefer the nigori one, but this mild fruity one is also very attractive 😻

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィ

Hi Yasbaye 😃. Today I was inspired by Yasubeyesan 😆 I went on a little expedition 🚙 to a liquor store a little far from here. I got the 12 secret colors of "Wakamusume" that was at Las One👍.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Hi Ponchan 😀 Definitely, I think both sakes are to your liking 😇. If I may say so, I think the nigori one will get closer to the taste of the clear sake as time goes by after opening the bottle, so it will be fun to see the taste change 😇.

Japanese>English

ヤスベェ

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀 That's what I'm talking about 😀. The more time you spend on your drinks, the more the sake gods smile on you😇. I'm looking forward to your comments as I want to catch up with Wakamusume-san when I'm done with this drinking contest too 😀.

Spring Sake & Nigorinpic0️⃣ 4️⃣ Today we had a light nigori called wakamusume super limited 😀. This time we also have a regular sake with the exact same specs 😀. First of all, this nigori... actually it's a sake from my hometown Yamaguchi prefecture, but it's my first time at Wakamusume😇. Both have the same bready and fruity taste in the mouth, but I preferred the one that was mixed and lightly nigorized 😀. Tomorrow I will have a regular spring sake of the same specs and I am looking forward to compare the taste with the supernatant 🤣.

Japanese>English

ポンちゃん

Good evening, Yasube-san. I'm sure the spring atmosphere will lift your spirits 🌸🌸I haven't tasted the Wakamusume, and it's light nigori ❣️ and it looks delicious 〰😻I saw the original for the first time the other day and was surprised at the price 😱I guess I should have splurged 🥹.

It was a delicious sake with a gentle but clean aftertaste 😋.

Today's sake is also a continuation of yesterday's sake, Ariiso Akebono, which survived the earthquake in Himi 😀 Yesterday's was a draft sake, but today it is a fire-brewed junmai-shu. Yesterday it was a draft, but today it is a fire-aged junmai sake 😀. Of course, we will be comparing the two sakes we opened yesterday, Ariiso Akebono and Nitoshi 😀. Kaorin is separated from us again today, so we started the laboratory with 3 bottles side by side 😀. With a wife, you can't play this kind of game very often 🤣. At first I had them in hiya 😀. As I thought, I liked the Ni-Utsuri's raw taste the best because it has a firm sweetness and umami flavor 😀. The taste of Aiso Akebono was almost the same between the raw and the hiya 😀. Then...I roasted 3 bottles at once in hot water up to 40 degrees Celsius 😀. Unfortunately, Ni-Rabbit... I knew before I tried it but the taste was too chunky and the hiya was not sharp and tasty... Sorry for experimenting just because I knew what I was doing: 🙇‍♀️ I'm sorry for the experiment, I just knew what I was getting into........ However, the raw one was getting a bit sour, so today's Ariiso Akebono was the best when it was heated 😀. This heated sake was delicious and I really hope the brewery will revive it soon 🙏.

Himi City, Toyama Prefecture The tragic Hokuriku earthquake has focused on Ishikawa prefecture, but Himi city in Toyama prefecture was also severely damaged 😭. This bottle is said to be one of the few remaining sake bottles from a brewery in Himi city where most of the bottles were broken 😅. It's a bottle with a lot of vitality 😀. I had it cold first, and this sake is unmistakably mellow 😀. Then we compared it with Fusashimaya's light nigorigo which we opened yesterday 😀 We drank it both hiya and lukewarm. The table top looked like a laboratory, but it turned out to be a delicious drinking comparison 😀. We were especially surprised at the change in taste of Ariiso Akebono's sake when it was heated from cold to warmed up 😀. It's tough when the wife is down, but it's fun to experiment with different types of sake 🤣.

I had a good impression of the sake at the Takashimaya Sake Festival, so I bought it thinking that Haretoke had a bottle of nama-zake. After meeting up with Mr. Yoohee at the liquor store where we bought Ko-Imari, we went to another liquor store together and bought it. It has a gassy, citrus and muscat flavor. The overall impression is sharp and it finishes sharply. The date is January this year, but there is no problem with the taste at all. I have the impression that Haretke is safe to buy even if the date is old. Well, Hakuryu is also in Niigata, but it's confusing, isn't it?

It is brewed by a young brewer who used to work at Kuroryu. From this season, the responsible brewing will be separated from the regular products and will be available only to special distributors. For a moment, you may wonder what's going on. But after a short delay, the concentrated, juicy sweetness and umami taste arrives. I think it is rather refreshing. It may be a unique flavor. It is a very drinkable type of wine.
