superbebeIt's a New Year's Eve drink 🐦.
Visited Horie Jyakushudo on a trip to the Chugoku region 🚃 and purchased
Fruity and floral aroma like pear
Slightly effervescent 😚 but gentle
Slight acidity and full fruitiness on the palate.
Mellow and goes down the throat nicely😍.
Almost no sweetness.
A slight bitterness lingers at the end, behind the elegant umami.
As time went on, it got sweeter and sweeter.
The initial sourness and the bitterness at the end is almost gone
Great taste, too easy to drink 👌.
I see, it's a sweet and tasty rich mellow type
Tastes quite sweet.
Very impressive change in body in a short period of time
Suitable for drinking in small quantities and savoring slowly
The same sake has a completely different impression from the one we had at the Iwakuni City Tourist Exchange Center "Honke Matsugane".
Perhaps too much time has passed since it was opened.
Flavor is lost🫠.
As a side note, 970,000 Yumejaku, the most expensive sake in Japan, is sitting at Jakushido 🙇♂️ ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, superbebe 😃.
You got a good one from Kinjaku at the end of the year 🤗.
We thought it was delicious 😋, but it's different when it's freshly opened 😁. さけランGood evening bebe!
You are a very good friend of mine.
Don't tell me you are already planning to come to Japan now 😁?
In Japan, at the end of the year
I hope you have a happy new year!
Do you have a similar custom in Japan? superbebeHappy New Year, Jay & Nobby 🎍.
I think it tastes even better when you drink it at home 😚.
Let's enjoy sake again this year 🤗✨ superbebeHappy New Year, sake-run 🎍.
Almost the same thing for the New Year here.
I don't know 🤣
And... Correct 😊.
I'm going to Kyushu next week😆. superbebeBecause of my last experience 🤓.
I opened it the day before I drank it.
Second day
Gorgeous and rich aroma
Full of elegance 😌.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, you can feel the delicious taste of rice
Soft, mellow, fruity sweetness
Smooth bitterness at the end
Numbing alcohol sensation lingers on the tongue 👌
Exquisite taste!
A drink that cannot be overstated
Makes me happy to drink it😊.
Thanks again for a great week!
Have a great weekend everyone😄! マコスケDaiginjo...it's delicious, isn't it?
I can't say I've ever tasted it. (lol) ジェイ&ノビィHi superbebe😃
The picture of Kintai bridge is nice, but the picture of the golden sparrows in a row is also very impressive 🥹this is going to be a good weekend for you🤗. superbebeHello, makosuke!
Really 🥲.
The price is a bit high.
I only bought one bottle of daiginjo.
As I was walking to the parking lot I thought to myself. superbebeI've come all this way.
I should have bought more.
So I went right back to shopping 😆😆. superbebeHi Jay & Nobby!
Taking a picture of them side by side gives me a sense of accomplishment 😂.
It's kind of soothing 😆. superbebeKinjaku Daiginjo Special Limited Brew
The beautiful sake from Iwakuni that I brought back this time 🐤.
Thanks for the detailed information, Makosuke!
The aroma is very high!
It smells very apple ✨✨✨.
Slightly full-bodied, with little sweetness and a bit of sourness.
Feels a bit short on flavor, with a subtle alcohol spicy aftertaste
🤔
🤔
Still feels hard, so I let it sit for a while!
Second day
Totally different impression.
It tastes so much better after leaving it overnight 🤩.
Gently spreading sweetness
The sweetness has increased considerably and the flavor has changed deeply.
The bitter acidity is moderate and the spiciness of the alcohol taste has disappeared.
The mellowness after putting it in the mouth is exceptional!
It is a must for those who like sweet and savory taste 😆.
Kinjaku 🐤. The best ❗❗
After visiting Jakushudo, we went to Kintai Bridge and came across a period drama filming 😮. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, superbebe😃.
We are planning to go to Kintai bridge 🤗I guess we won't have time to visit Kinjaku 🥲.
Any local info would be helpful👍. superbebeGood evening, Jay & Nobby.
It's going to take some time.
It takes about one hour from Kinjaku-san to Kintai-bashi Bridge.
We also went to Itsukushima Shrine that day.
A full day 😆 マコスケsuperbebe, I see you enjoyed your trip to Iwakuni.
Did you recognize Matsukane right away?
Daiginjos seem to be more drinkable if you let them sit for a little while after opening the sealed bottle.
It seems like it is ready to drink, doesn't it?
マコスケJay & Nobby
Enjoy Kintai-bashi Bridge.
There is a tourist information center in Iwakuni called "Matsukane",
There is a tourist information center in Iwakuni called "Matsukane" near the bridge where you can taste Kinjaku.
You can also try a tasting of Kinjaku at a store called "Mitsukan-ya" in front of the station, if you are lucky.... LOL! superbebeI think Honke Matsugane is a good restaurant 😃.
You can taste various local snacks and Yamaguchi sake there!
And it's almost empty! superbebeYou won't be disturbed.
Take your time 😄 superbebeYou could visit a liquor store nearby called Yamashichi Sake Yuukan.
Kinjaku may also be available.
But please check the regular closing days.
Last time I wanted to go there, it was not open (lol) 😐. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
