Timeline
山廃純米The second bottle of Kijo-zake was a Musical Instrument Masamune. It has a juicy, slightly fizzy feeling that comes immediately after drinking. Just like Mitsuya Cider without half of the carbonation. And the specs are
Polishing ratio = 60
Sake meter = -9.0
Acidity = ?
Rice used = ?
(From Sakaya Kurihara's website)
It is even easier to drink than Sasamasamune, which I posted earlier. It is a quintessential brand of Oki Daikichi. It's a pinch of sake, and it's delicious. _.) _ 山廃純米The second one of the New Year. First visit of the year to the sake shop Masuruya Tama Plaza. I found a bottle of Sasamasamune Rum-chan there, and brought it home along with a bottle of Kijo-zake, a musical instrument. When I got home, I looked carefully at the label on the back of the bottle and found that this Sasamasamune is also a kijoshu. I should have bought the Junjo sake on the shelf instead of the one in the fridge (-_-). The sensation of drinking it was that there was no fizziness. It was a bit like the Shinmasa blanched cat that I drank before. And what are the specs?
Ingredient rice = Yume no Kou
Polishing ratio = 60%.
Sake meter = -25
Acidity = 1.8
(From the long-established Kadoya website)
We paired it with Ajitama from Famima for a tasting. Have a good Pon-Shu life this year! きっしーThe third bottle for the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is "Tenbi" ❤.
No need to explain this one ❤
It's the best ❤.
The reason why I can drink this normally is because "Masaruya Tama Plaza" started to carry "Tenbi" ❤.
I love the balance between the refreshing sweetness that spreads in the mouth and the firm acidity and slight bitterness that follows it ❤❤.
I love it 😋😋. きっしーThe second bottle I found when I went to "Masaruya Tama Plaza" to buy a bottle of "Ki" ❤.
I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but this time I chose "Amami" and "Ki"! I was also attracted to "Kamo Nishiki" and "Koeikiku Snoclet", but this time I went for this one!
When I opened the bottle, I smelled something sour#(**).
I wonder what it tastes like.
Pour it into a glass and take a sip!
I see...this is the cause of the stinky smell! It's a yogurt type. I asked my family what it tasted like and they said it was banana🍌 pear🍐.
In short, it's fruity𐤔.
It is not sweet and refreshing and has no depth of flavor, but I think it is suitable for those who like lactic acidic drinks that are easy to drink (˶'˵˵ ).
I looked at the back of the bottle, and to my surprise, the sake rice is Koshihikari‼️‼️‼️‼️.
Is that so?
It's quite an adventurous bottle 𐤔 デューク澁澤⭐︎
Today is Christmas Eve.
And I'm staying at home with Momo. It's not Christmas Eve.
Instead, it's fun 😎.
This sake has a really good balance. It's very elegant.
It is full-bodied with a modest assertiveness. It's a beautiful sake with no cloying taste.
It is freshly squeezed, but it seems to have been aged.
It is delicious.
遥瑛チチGood evening, Duke Shibuya 🌇.
Looks like you are having a good time for being away from home 😁.
I haven't had Gasshaku yet, but it's indeed a packaged sake❗️.
It looks like a sure thing 👍 takeshonGood evening, Duke 😃.
Tsukihaku is light and dry, but when it is made by Kamo Nishiki's toji, it becomes light and umami 😋, it even has a sweetness to it 😋. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good evening, Chichi!
I'm up after a long absence 😎.
However, the packaged sake is delicious.
It's listed as light and dry, but it's fruity.
I'm off to take a bath ♨️. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Thanks for your comment, takeshon 🙇♂️.
I think you're right, it's not light and dry.
I can see some packaged sake.
I should buy and taste it more seriously. デューク澁澤⭐︎
This is the first time I drank Isshaku Suisei Jungin Yamadanishiki at home.
I always drink it at "Izakaya Chocho" in Sendai on business trips, but I bought it at Masaruya on my way home from the gym.
I was worried about the Amami, but...
I started flying after 4 o'clock.
After drinking beer, I had a glass of ICHIHAKUSUISEI.
Slight ginjo aroma, sweetness and umami.
Not much acidity.
It is full-bodied.
It has a heavy flavor, but also a trendy taste.
Delicious. 遥瑛チチGood evening, Duke Shibuya 🌇.
Flying drinking, I like it 😁.
Correctly full-bodied is a great word 👍. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Hi Chichi!
I really like daytime drinking, but it's been tough lately. I won't say who.
Tomorrow I'm going on a business trip to Niigata, so I'll be drinking good sake 😎. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Koei Kiku Ikumochi today.
Schwar when opened.
Moderate aroma, rich mouthfeel?
Dark sweetness to sourness.
It is an autumn sake.
It tastes orthodox for Koueikiku.
Leave half to enjoy the flavor. 遥瑛チチGood evening, Duke Shibusawa!
Ikubou is a sake for training.
Take your time and drink it 😁. ハリーGood morning, Duke 😊.
I'm holding off on this one myself, I'm looking forward to it.
Training sake, take your time 😅. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good morning, Chichi!
I googled it. I see.
So you can enjoy the change in flavor after a week or two?
I'm looking forward to it since I have less than 3 cups left 🙇♂️. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good morning, Harry!
I see you have it in your brewery 😁.
It's very rich. It's a very sweet-acid-ashtu.
Let's enjoy your training sake. MAJGood evening, Duke Shibusawa! I'm so glad to see you here 😄.
We also have Ikubou waiting in the wings 😆👍👍Tsukikage will join us this weekend, so the fun will continue for a while 😋😋. デューク澁澤⭐︎
MAJ, thank you for your comment 🙇♂️.
I see that Tsukikage will be joining us soon.
I'm looking forward to the opening of the bottle 😁. きっしーI opened a bottle of "Kaygetsu CEL24" that I bought during my Bon holidays 🧡.
CEL24 is a Kochi Prefecture yeast.
I think of "Kameizumi" when I think of CEL24, does it have that fruity taste? I think of "Kaygetsu" as being more of a dry type.
It has a refreshing sweetness, and it is not dry, but I wonder if it is the alcohol that counteracts the sweetness and sharpens the overall taste.
It is different from the sake I usually drink.
This is good because it is easy to drink, but I wonder if it is better suited as a food drink because of its sharp finish.
It went well with the lemon and salt flavored chicken as a side dish 🧡. きっしーOn the second day, the alcohol feeling was gone and it became mildly sweeter and easier to drink🎶. デューク澁澤⭐︎
The second bottle I recently purchased from Masaruya.
Akabu Junmai Hiyoroshi.
We will have it on the middle day of consecutive holidays.
It has been matured in a low temperature storage during the summer.
The aroma has a strong alcohol taste.
The first sip is sweet. The taste of rice is also strong.
It is not rice bran? It is not rice bran, but it tastes like pickles.
After a while, it became round.
Potato salad, edamame, pickled red turnip and salmon.
It was good with the entrée 😎. 遥瑛チチGood evening, Duke Shibusawa 🌆.
Akabu hiyaoroshi, I didn't go through it this year, but it's a stable taste👍.
By the way, Duke, do you take this shot with your one hand?
I've always been curious about it. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good morning, Chichi.
It is a raw warm morning.
Red Takeshi, it's wonderful. You never miss it, do you?
Chichi-san, the typhoon has landed and it is very hard, but please travel eastward with care.
One hand. 遥瑛チチThanks for your concern, Duke 😊.
Thanks to you, I'm doing fine 👍.
However, there's absolutely no way to tell when JR service will resume... デューク澁澤⭐︎
First sake in 4 days after my 4th vaccination.
At Masariya, I got sunburst and Akabu no Autumn Sake.
Today is sunburst.
It's been about a year.
It's so acidic. I knew it was sunburst.
The feeling of gas when the bottle is opened + fruity.
Bitterness after sweetness.
Delicious.
Edamame + kiriboshi daikon salad + shabu shabu.
Be careful not to drink too much 😁. 遥瑛チチGood evening, Duke Shibusawa 🌇.
It seems you have reached the extremes of acidity😊.
You were right to drink it this time of year with the lingering summer heat👍. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good morning, Chichi!
It's been a while since I've had sake, and the taste of Kouei Kiku has been so good that I've had beer 🍺 + 3 gou of Kouei Kiku + 2 glasses of Kurogiri rock 😎. デューク澁澤⭐︎
I went to "Masaru-ya" for the first time in a while.
Looking for Gakky Jungin as posted by Chichi.
There are several kinds of Gakki in the fridge.
I asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have any Gakki Junmai Sake?"
The shopkeeper asked, "Do you have any Gakki-junmai-shu?
I bought it without hesitation.
This is delicious ❗️.
This is Gakki's Junmai-shu.
Aroma like grapefruit, just a hint of gas.
It's even easier to drink than Gakky's Aruzoe.
Delicious.
Gakky's Junmai Sake. 遥瑛チチGood evening, Duke Shibuya 🌆.
I'm glad you got Gakki safely 🤗.
Since you are drinking at home, you can enjoy it slowly👍. きっしーThe second bottle for summer vacation is "Mimuro Sugi Summer Jun Yamadanishiki" 🧡.
It has a refreshing sweetness and acidity that is refreshing and cool for summer 🧡.
It is so easy to drink that it will be gone in no time🧡. きっしーOn the third day of opening the bottle, the refreshing yogurtiness expands. It is also sweet, and I love the drinkability of the acidity that tempers the sweetness Ï Łøvë**ÿöü. SatochanMountain Day in Mountain
Aroma: Fruity, with a slight foamy attack. Taste: clear and delicious, with a light mouthfeel. It is easy to drink and has a refreshing aftertaste.
It must be great to drink this at the top of a mountain while gazing at the scenery. I'm too lazy to try it, though. きっしーI came back to Yokohama for the holidays, so I opened a bottle of "Morishima" that I had stored in my refrigerator in Yokohama🎶.
As I imagined, it's a little dry for me personally.
It has a sharp dry mouthfeel followed by a refreshing sweetness, so it's one of those that doesn't feel completely dry 🎶.
I haven't had a dry wine recently, so I don't know how dry it is.
Well, it's easy to drink, and it's delicious in its own way 💛. マナチーAsa Koromo-san, I thought it was Yokohama⁉️, but it's not you, it's Kishii-san 🤣 Morishima's Omachi, unlike other sake, it's not Omachi Omachi, but it's good 😆. tkmtsThere's no more excuses for this one 🤣. あさころもEh, Mr. Kisii?
Since when did you become me 🤣 lol きっしーoh dear!
I didn't do anything... why...
Asa Koromo, I'm sorry m(_ _)m
We apologize for the inconvenience. m(_ _)m あさころもBecause it's interesting.
I'm totally fine with the decision...kerah kerah kerah デューク澁澤⭐︎
Purchased at Masaruya about 3 weeks ago.
Junmai tasake for 1.375 yen.
Cosmetically perfect.
Full bodied.
Good balance of umami, sweetness and acidity.
Forgot to take a picture, but squid dried overnight goes well with it.
The rest of Hanayo - Tasake.
We enjoyed it in the evening 😎. ハリーGood evening, Duke Shibuya. I haven't had both recently 😅. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good morning, Harry.
Thank you for your comment.
The hana-hou-yoku was the leftover opened quite a while ago.
It is now full-bodied too.
The rainy season is over and it's time for summer sake 😁. SatochanLight on the palate but firm in body.
AromaFruity, soft attack. Taste: light and tasty, it goes in easily and lingers on the tongue.
I was surprised to learn that there is also this kind of Koei Kiku. きっしーI'm back in Yokohama this weekend, so let's go to "Masaruya Tama Plaza" immediately🎶!
I bought "Morishima" and "Haneya" 🧡.
I still have a bottle of "Amami" and "Mimuro Sugi" in my fridge, which I bought at Hasegawa Brewery in Tokyo Station Gransta when I was in Tokyo for work in mid-May, but today I locked on to my first purchase of "Haneya" (๑✧✧๑).
When I opened the bottle, the cork lightly opened with a pleasant bubbling sound 🎶This is what I expected ∑(°°°°)KOREHA!
The aroma is fresh and sweet.
When I put it in my mouth, I was surprised by the taste. Oh! The balance with the acidity that makes you feel a refreshing mouthfeel is also good. It gives the impression of an adult cider 🧡.
It's citrusy-lime, as it says on the back, which is understandably refreshing 🎶 but it doesn't have the bitterness of grapefruit 🧡.
The low alcohol content of 13% makes it a great light drink 🧡. きっしーThe second delivery of Masaruya Tama Plaza's hanpushu arrived at my subordinate's house (*^^*). This time it was "Hayaseura Masaruya limited edition sake" and "Chokaisan", so my subordinate will have the "Chokaisan" he drank in Tohoku and I will have "Hayaseura".
Our fridge at home barely holds one bottle, but we decided to start with a 4-goupe bottle to keep it separate!
Since this time's sake is aluzoe, I guess there is still quite a bit of alcohol feeling in the mouth. Although there is a spiciness from the alcohol, the overall finish is firm and the rice sweetness is moderate, making it easy to drink. きっしーI see that this limited edition sake is also available in a junmai ginjo original from another liquor store! I'd like to compare that one too! ゆかちんGood evening, Kissey ⭐️Tsurukawa's Masaruya was this sake and gakkie~! きっしーYukachin-san>
Gakkie nice 🎶 pairing is different. ゆかちんBefore I post, I'd like to announce an online offline meeting 💕
Off-line meeting will be held today, Saturday 5/14 at 6:30pm on Zoom 👏.
Meeting ID: 554 255 8645
Passcode: 55mNyV
Apparently, zoom has become stricter and has a 40 minute time limit...we will have to turn it off and back on every 40 minutes...but we decided to go with zoom because it was the easiest to use 😊We hope you all can join us❣️.
Now, Sake Mirai 💁♀️ of Isshaku Suisei
I have always thought of Sake Mirai as sweet and juicy like Hanamup, Akabu, and Jyushidai, but this Ippakusuisei is dry‼️I should have thought it was dry from the start, but my mouth was looking for sweetness, hmmm? I should have thought it was dry from the beginning, but my mouth was looking for sweetness, so I thought it was different 😒...but the rice flavor is very strong and tasty 😘.
I tried it a few times after the next day, but I just couldn't get over the image of Sake Mirai💦I prefer Tokujun 😄.
マナチーHi Yucachin 😃.
Thanks for the verification 😆.
It's interesting to see the individuality of the brewery even with the same sake rice 😆👍 etorannzyuHello 😃
Thanks for the verification 😁.
Sake Mirai tends to be juicy and flavorful, but...
Sweetness and spiciness depends on the brewery 🤔.
I think the rice itself is more dry since Yamashu No.4 and Miyamanishiki are the parents 😆. I have the impression that the rice itself is more dry 😆. ゆかちんHi Manachie 😃It's interesting to see how different sake breweries can make such a difference even if the rice is the same, isn't it‼️? 遥瑛チチHi Yucachin 😃.
Thanks for your hard work yesterday❗️
Oh, and nice to meet you today too 😁.
Both Akabu and Eikofuji were juicy, so I can't imagine Sake Mirai dry...
See you later 👋 ゆかちんHi etorannzyu😃I didn't know that Sake Mirai was a dry sake rice to begin with! I learned a lot 📝It's fun to know that the way a brewery makes sake can change so much 😊. ゆかちんHi Haruei Chichi😃Thank you for your hard work yesterday! It's nice to meet you today too❣️I was surprised to see how much the sake future of Ippaku Suisei can change with just one brewing method 🫢It's so deep ✨. デューク澁澤⭐︎
Good evening, Yukachin-san.
Isshaku Suisei is delicious, isn't it?
You bought it at Masaru-yasan? A place I pass by every day. ゆかちんDuke Shibusawa, good evening🌆Masaruya, are you passing by⁉️I used to work near there, so I missed it😊. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Yukachin 😃.
Thanks for your hard work yesterday!
It was my first remote offline meeting and I couldn't talk much properly 😓 I hope to attend again👍.
I hope to see you on my Tokyo expedition 😊. ゆう🎶Good evening, Yucachin 🌙 Good evening yesterday 😊 I had a great time ♬ I would love to have a drink in real life this time 😋🥂✨. ゆかちんJay & Nobby, thank you for your hard work on Saturday 😁 it was a fun time ❣️Let's have a real offline meeting in Tokyo next time 😆. ゆかちんYu🎶, nice to see you on Saturday 😁! Next time - let's have a drink in Tokyo 💕! きっしーToday we have "Kamo Nishiki Shakufuda Sake" 🧡 that was sleeping in the fridge.
This is a sake that you can only expect so much 🎶.
When I opened the bottle, I could smell the fresh aroma of daiginjo-style aroma, although it was not rich 🎶.
The taste is a little sweet, as is typical of Kamo Nishiki, but it has a slightly effervescent and petit flavor, and the acidity is moderate, so the sweetness in the aftertaste seems to quickly fade away. It has a gentle sweetness without a strong acidity. There is almost no bitterness. It is not a refreshing fruity, but a cup of gentle sweetness 🧡. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
