Although it does not have the punch of whole Yamada-Nishiki, it has an intoxicatingly full aroma. The gentle sweetness that fills the mouth. The aftertaste is also quite good.

Wow, a pure Daigin. I thought it didn't taste like Yamadanishiki, but it still has the sharpness of Yamadanishiki.
It has a full-bodied spiciness, followed by sweetness, but the sweetness asserts itself after a while.

I went through it last year and regretted it after reading your review, so I made sure to get it this year, at Asano-san lol.
I personally didn't like Sentori's Organic-Naturals series because I thought they tasted too thin, but the Sparkling was very tasty and had a clean, refreshing aftertaste with a little bitterness ✨.
It smells like melon at first, with a citrusy bitterness in the aftertaste.
It's only released once a year, but I think it could be a standard 👍.

Hi Yoohee 😃
You are posting at a great pace, and I'm 💦 following ⁉️ sweating my hands to see if Yoohee can get into June before August starts 😆.
Sentori Spark🧨 is a definite one 🤗.

Thanks for all the support 🙌

After buying Chuai, Yoohee-san and I went to Asano Sake Shop.
I tasted the sake with the intention of buying Towashi spring sake, but it didn't feel right, so I bought this one.
Refreshingly sweet and shwashy. A little dry. I might prefer Hachitan or Yuyamanishiki, which are sweeter and more robust. I'm also interested in Yamadanishiki.

Hello bouken 🐦.
I was surprised because when I drank it last year, I thought it would have a darker flavor because it was Omachi 😅I would like to try the sake rice you wrote about 😊.

Good evening, Pon-chan 😃
I guess they are trying to make it clear with spring in mind 🤔The liquor store said that Shinomine is a brewery that makes good use of Yuyamanishiki, so I recommend Yuyamanishiki👍.

Yoohee and I got off at Motomachi and went to a liquor store in the mountains to look around, then went to Asano-san.
I was curious about Towashi's spring sake, so I tasted it with the intention of buying it.
It was like the muscat flavor of Towashi with an added banana-ness.
It seems they use a yeast that produces an isoamyl type aroma unlike the previous ones.
It's delicious, and I was torn, but I don't see a big difference between it and the previous Juuishi, so I bought a different sake.
I didn't expect to see you again the week after the offline meeting, but we had a lot of fun in a short time 😊.

Me too, but you secretly exchanged drinks offline 😁 I don't think they are exactly the same since the yeast is different, but I don't think I noticed any drastic difference 🤔.

Super slightly carbonated, pineapple aroma is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy to drink 🍍.
Easy to drink with no bitterness whatsoever✨
I went to the Asano Sake Shop in April with other members of the Sake-no-wa Kansai group to celebrate the first anniversary of the relocation of the Kyoto branch of the Asano Sake Shop.
The illustration has a Showa-era feel to it instead of the usual mysterious label 💡.
I tasted it before buying it because it was expensive, but I decided immediately that I liked it very much because it was not too sweet and had a strong pineapple aroma👍.
Now that I think about it, I should have bought the regular one and compared them.

Asano Sake Shop Sannomiya Banshu Ikken Fair Report 3📝.
Last, the austere label Sennen no Wisteria🟣.
The difference from Kaede seems to be water, but this is also Hyogo Yume Nishiki.
It flows smoothly with a soft sweetness.
Personally, I found the Junmai to be the most delicious, with a strong umami (flavor).

Asano Sake Shop Sannomiya Banshu Ikkyo Fair Report 2📝.
Well, the second bottle is not so common, Kaede no Shizuku🍁.
This product is said to be made with running water from Akanishi Valley in Haga Town.
This bottle is made with Yume-Nishiki from Shiso, and is made with local ingredients.
After the sweetness spreads a little, you will feel a tangy alcohol taste, and then the bitter taste will start to fade away.
The impression is more refreshing than Junmai.
I think it is a perfect bottle for fish dishes.

Pon-chan, it was a belated Merry Christmas🎄.
I see it was only in Sannomiya: ❗️
I've never seen this label before and I'm glad I got to compare the drinks 💡.
I think it's actually hard to tell the difference if you drink it by itself 💧.

Asano Sake Shop Sannomiya Banshu Ikken Fair Report 1📝.
Banshu Ikkyo is a sake that I sometimes buy but have never had a chance to compare it thoroughly.
The first glass started with a basic junmai sake 🍶.
The label is sparkling and looks expensive ✨.
After the umami, there is a slight tangy alcohol taste and it flows lightly.
No bitterness, no peculiar taste, so it will be gone as soon as you drink it with food 💧.

Asano Sake Shop Sannomiya Yukihikoyama Fair Report 3📝.
For the third cup, we decided to have a test brewed sake called Tsubozaka Trial.
It is now in its fifth year and this year they are releasing it as a Kijo sake.
It has a thick and sweet taste, but when pulled back, it has a strong bitterness and a nutty aroma.
It is not as sweet as one might expect, and the bitterness can be felt later, making it a perfect match for meat dishes 🍖.

Good evening, Mr. Yoohee.
This sake is made with Benkei, a rare sake rice 😳I've only seen it in other sake 🤔.

Good evening, bouken-san. ⭐︎
I didn't know "Benkei" was a rare sake rice from Hyogo 👀.
I wonder if other breweries in Hyogo will offer it 💡.
I wonder if they don't use it much because of the cost..,

Asano Sake Shop Sannomiya Yukihikoyama Fair Report 2📝.
The second glass was a classic label hiyayoroshi 🍁.
It is a little thick and sweet, with a strong bitter aftertaste like group fruit that lingers on the tongue.
Seems to go well with dishes with a slightly stronger flavor.
On the other hand, it would not go well with sashimi and the like 💧.

Good morning, Yoohee 😃.
Oh yes! I think I was surprised at the gap between the label and the taste when I tasted it last year 🤔I didn't see it this year 🙄 I want to buy and drink it😊.

I see you had it at that liquor store last year 💡.

Asano Sake Shop Sannomiya Yukihikoyama Fair Report 1📝.
It seems that September was a month of drinking out more than drinking in💡.
Next is a review of my usual visit to Asano's to compare and contrast the Yukihikoyama.
I chose Nadeshiko yeast sake because bouken-san drank it before and reviewed it as delicious 🍶.
The sweet aroma comes through the nose, and then recedes with a touch of bitterness.
The sweetness is not unpleasant, and I can gently feel the sweetness derived from nadeshiko (⁉️). Even if you don't like normal sake, you may want to give this one a try 💡.

Kobe Landing🚄
When I came to Kobe, I wanted to eat "Bokkake", so I went to Nagata Honjoken.
It used to be in the Aeon in Kumamoto 😢.
Bokkake Omusoba and 🍺 dinner 😋.
Still delicious 🥰.
After dinner, we went to Asano Sake Shop in Sannomiya.
I came here to pick out some Hyogo sake to drink at the hotel, but I found Takacho in the standing drinking corner 😍.
It's a Nara sake, but I guess it's OK to call it Kansai 😁.
I only had one glass.
It's a very rich and sweet sake 🥰.
Unfortunately I couldn't afford this one so I bought another sake.

Tomo-san, welcome to Kansai 😆!
I'm so glad you're in Kansai 😆! It looks delicious 💕I've actually never had it 💦and it's great that you're going to Asano-san 😆👍There's a lot of good flavors in Kansai, so please enjoy it 😊.

Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
It's been a while since I landed in Kansai. Bokkake omelette soba is very tasty 😋 Asano's in Sannomiya was a small store, but they had a good lineup of popular items. I saw that they are having a fair at Kaze no Mori right now.

It has a little bit of sweetness in the schwartz, but it is fast.
It feels quite dry.
Yamadanishiki and Aizan comparison of sake that shoots up fireworks.
After all this time, I still think that the more polished Yamada-Nishiki is, the drier it feels.
I enjoyed it with sashimi👍.

Very slightly carbonated, pineapple sweetness and a slight bitterness that pulls away 🍍.
On the second day, the schwizziness was gone and the sweetness became stronger.
Finally the review is in August and summer is in full swing lol.
I bought a bottle on October 1 and toasted it all together, but I opened it as soon as I could because it was summer👍.
(I also opened a bottle of Yamadanishiki released right after that)
The sparkling fireworks on the label are so beautiful and impressive ✨.
After comparing the two, I personally preferred the Aizan, which was sweeter and more umami 💡.

Last but not least, Tonatsu Musume 🌺 with a label that looks like Okinawa.
As you would expect from a liqueur, the sweetness comes and goes with a slight hint of ori.
It has the least bitterness of the three.
