I had only purchased Koshu Umebayashi a couple of times at a sake brewery's direct sales outlet, but I never expected to see it at Koyama Shoten, a sacred place for Japanese sake. I couldn't believe my eyes and looked twice.
And I was told that it was from Koyama Shoten PB, so how is that possible? I was even more confused.
Sato Shuzo also produces another brand called Nakadaya, but I have yet to try it. I have never had a sake from Sato Sake Brewery, let alone a straight kumi, and my only impression was of Koshu Umebayashi, but I was aware that it was a brewery that made a very classic food sake.
I took a sip without paying attention to the aroma, and at that moment, I felt a strong impact similar to a sense of deja vu: "I know this aroma. This is like...Kameizumi cel24? Or is it a hana-yosu?
Yes. It is a tremendous pineapple aroma. Both the standing aroma and the hint of pineapple! I happened to get two bottles of Hana-yosu recently, but I'm fine with this one. It's so similar to the pineapple that I think I'm already full of pineapple. Did you replace the label with the contents? LOL!
If you drink it thinking it is Koshu Umehirin, you will be confused by the gap in aroma and taste, which is so different from the standard product. However, I think it is a sake that will impress those who like this type of sake.

Today I took the day off work to have a lunchtime drink from hiking Mt. On the way home, I stopped by Koyama Shoten and bought Kunigon for the first time in a while. It is a special junmai sake made with Minamiaizu's Yume-no-Kou.
It has a fresh aroma like that of LaFrance. It has a smooth texture with a rich sweetness and umami flavor, and the final taste is very satisfying with the robustness that is typical of Kunigon.
By the way, it is amazing that Koyama Shoten is so crowded even during the daytime on weekdays.

Hiking Mt. Takao and then having a lunchtime drink! I would love to do that 🥹and then go to Koyama Sake Amusement Park 🎡 even more awesome 🤗‼️

Good morning, Jay & Nobby. I really recommend Mt. Takao on a weekday. Takao Onsen (hot spring) was temporarily closed yesterday, so we couldn't go there. Koyama Shoten is truly an exciting place, just like an amusement park.

Jikon純米吟醸 酒未来 生た

The God of alcohol is watching what I do. Maybe.
In February, I was hospitalized for donation of hematopoietic stem cells through the bone marrow bank. On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I was on my way home when I received a call from Koyama Shoten informing me that the reserved bottle of brewer's kuheiji nigori had arrived. After returning home, I went to pick up the Kuheiji, thinking that there might be more rare sake on weekdays than on weekends, although my body felt a little heavy. ...... Jigen Sake Mirai was on sale!
Thus, Pi-tama went home with a bottle of Kuheiji Nigori and a bottle of Jigin Sake Mirai. Chan chan.
But there was more to the story. The next time we went to Koyama Shoten, we got a bottle of Imi. The next time I went to Koyama Shoten, I had a bottle of Imi White and a bottle of Jikin Tokusen Sei. 3 times I bought the lineup in the picture and Imi White. The strength of the pull is scary 😱.
I must continue to do good deeds 😋.
The taste is delicious 😋😋😋😋😋
Fresh and gassy. Fresh and gassy, with a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
The balance of umami acidity and bitterness, sweetness and spiciness are in the middle range. Perfectly balanced sake that brings out the full flavor of the rice.

Sake Mirai's Jikin is also very good.
This slight difference in perfection creates a big difference in taste. I was impressed by how much attention to detail and thoroughness went into making this difference.

The name is perfect for the season: 🍶 New Sake Competition
Gorgeous ginjo aroma. Slightly gassy. Soft and gentle mouthfeel and light acidity. It is smooth and crisp. 😋😋😋😋😋
Medium sweetness and dryness. This is the sake of Kamo Kanehide, aiming for the gold medal in the New brew of sake competition. A gorgeous yet deliciously well-balanced sake that does not make you tired of drinking. It has a harmonious taste that I don't understand. If you taste it as if you were a judge, which is written on the back label, it will win the gold medal!

It has a strong gaseous taste. Fresh ginjo aroma. It is fresh!

Very clear sake quality and delicious even after the flavor has opened up after the gas has been released 😊.

Hi Pitama 😃
I had my first drink of Tsuneyama at the beginning of the year and it was so good that I've been paying attention to this brand 🤗.
And the spicy modern is one of our favorites ‼️ I'd love to try it 😙.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. ☺️
I didn't know that Jay & Nobby's Tsuneyama was also very tasty! This is the second time I've had Tsuneyama after several years of absence, and I have the impression that it's even better than before 🤗.
Maybe the quality of sake has improved in recent years 😋 I'm having trouble finding more brands I want to try again!

Fruity, but also has a robust, bone-dry aroma, similar to that of cooked rice.
The mouthfeel is juicy and sweet, not too much, but a little bit tannic.
It is full of rice-like umami.
Only the back end tingles from the alcohol and the bitterness finishes the taste, but the sweetness lingers on for a long time.
Overall, a very soft and gentle sake.

It's 50 times more than Arakan's! So 400 check-ins (eight times 50 and endless?) I'm so excited 🍶🙌

I bought it because of Igarashi who plays the heroine's lover in the rerun of the morning drama Kamu Kamu Everybody 🍶(For those of you who don't know, you have no idea what I'm talking about.)
Good luck, Kan-chan! Don't go to Tokyo without Hinata!
It has a strong gaseous taste.
Aroma: melon and summer grass 🌱Ginjo aroma
Medium sweetness and dryness, with a little bit of umami, sourness, bitterness, and matured taste. Delicious with a vivid contrast of umami, moderate bitterness and high alcohol content. 😋😋😋😋
It is brewed with Jusui, and has a slightly different nuance from the Igarashi I've had before. But it is definitely Igarashi.
I cheered after drinking it, but Hinata and Kan-chan...Kan-chan. I wish it would have worked out with Hinata.
Hinata's childhood scene at the riverside in Kyoto
Rui: Mommy, look at you!
The scene where Joe talks to his old best friend at a jazz cafe about reinventing himself as a musician
Tommy: Whatever. You brought me all the way to Okayama to talk about it?
Joe: (laughs) I'm really sorry.
There are some great scenes scattered throughout this classic drama 😭

The third bottle of Kangiku
Immediately after opening the bottle, there was a sense of gas and a juicy flavor of rice.
The mouthfeel was clean and crisp, and a slight bitterness was also felt. After all, this refreshing feeling is a characteristic of Kukai!
It went well with sashimi.
I want to buy Kangiku's series when it is released!

Fresh, modern, deliciously spicy sake 🍶.
It has a strong sense of gas, and a rich top-fragrance and hint of Imi's ginjo aroma. It has a voluminous balance of umami acidity and bitterness, and spiciness at a high alcohol content 🏇🏇😋😋😋😋
Good as the endorsement says, good as a food sake: 🙆♂️
The ginjo aroma and the high alcohol content give it a pleasant aroma.
The last white sake I drank was cloudy, but this one is not.
It is suitable for modern Japanese dining. It goes well with stir-fried meat and vegetables and fried food👍.

Beautiful classic dry jungin🍶.
Almost no ginjo aroma. The mellow aroma of mellow dry sake is not a ginjo aroma, but a beautiful classic sake aroma.
The sweetness and spiciness are not sweet, as it is called super-harakuchi. However, it is delicious with a strong umami flavor and excellent sharpness. It has a beautiful quality that makes it easy to drink. It can be served lukewarm or cold. 😋😋😋😋

The second bottle I purchased from Koyama Shoten was a Fukkai.
I had heard about this one from Sake-no-wa and wanted to try it, so when I found it, I bought it without hesitation!
Sweet aroma like muscat!
It has a sweet aroma like muscat, and you can feel the tangy gas.
Slight sweetness, gentle acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste, even though it was fire-aged.

The second bottle of Kangiku
The label on the bottle confirms that it is delicious!
The review says it has strong fizz, so I carefully open the cork... It is indeed strong, but I succeeded by opening it slowly...
The first impression when you open the mouth is a fizzy sensation that stimulates the tongue, a yogurt-like sweet and sour acidity, and a juicy rice flavor that spreads out after intertwining with the orikiri.
Ahhhh, so good!
As the intoxication progresses, one forgets that it is sake...
We enjoyed a blissful evening with firefly squid as a side dish.

I wanted to visit the famous Koyama Shoten, so I stopped by on my way to work and found Wakanami and bought it.
This is the third time this year I have tasted Juhikinmu.
On the first day, it was difficult to describe the aroma. It was sweet, with a strong acidity and a light aftertaste.
On the third day, the aroma was sweet like melon, and the sweetness seemed to spread.
On the fourth day, the sweetness is easy to drink and has depth of flavor. The acidity is crisp, but the aftertaste is still very smooth and disappears.

The second dinghy
This time it is a limited nigori sake. Since it is reasonably priced, we chose it for everyday drinking this month. It is a blend of nigori from daiginjo, kasenjo-shu, and other types of nigori.
It has a refreshing taste with a low sweetness.
It has a nice sharpness, so it can be used as a mid-meal drink.

Pre-order again this year.
It has a gorgeous fruity ginjo aroma.

The sweetness and spiciness is medium. The nigori is less than last year.
