The sixth brewery in Chiba Prefecture is one of my favorites, Kangiku Meikozo in Yamatake City🥰.
We were served Identity- So no Mai 50 from the Discovery series 😘.
I wanted to buy all 4 bottles, but my pocketbook was sad.
This 🍶 is on the brewery's website,
We feel that this annual effort is steadily improving the quality of our sake, as we were the first to win a prize at the National New Sake Competition this year (2025) for the Junmai standard (Silver Lining) for So no Mai rice produced in Chiba Prefecture. So this year's guess is So no Mai with a yellow label.
and we chose the yellow label🤩.
Is this really 🍶?
Sweet and sour juicy, rice flavor in the aftertaste, very delicious 🍶 ☺️
Alcohol : 14
Sake degree : -5
Acidity: 1.6
Amino acidity: 0.9
Rice used: 80% So-no-Mai produced in Chiba Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Good evening, Hero8 😃!
Congratulations on your 200 check-in ㊗️㊗️ at Kangiku, a brewery in Chiba Prefecture 🎉 Let's enjoy various sakes while aiming for your goal 👋
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😊.
My goal is to take it easy 😉.
When I read your posts, I find myself looking at so many different 🍶🤤.
There are so many stars 🍶, but it's a very fun drinking activity with many different insights 🥰.
Occasional Kenaiyama 50 -Chronicle- Bespoke Special Limited Edition
(Junmai Daiginjyo, Oorigarami, Unfiltered Nama-shu)
Rice: 100% Tokushima Kenaiyama, Polishing ratio 50%, Alc. 15%.
From the limited series "Occasional" brewed only once a year by Kangiku Meikyu,
This is the one we were aiming for... 🔥.
The aroma is like fresh pear.
The mouthfeel is stimulating, with sweetness and fresh gas.
The mid-palate is softly spreading with umami and bitterness,
The aftertaste is a grefleur-like acidity and bitterness that quickly kills you...too good ✨.
Amazing. This is too good. This is a swamp.
This is a versatile food wine that goes well with both Japanese and Western food.
My wife also said, "It's not so sweet and it's delicious.
My favorite score: 9.5/10
Aroma: 2.0｜Mouthfeel: 2.0｜Medium: 2.0｜Final taste: 2.0｜Price: 1.5
→ The only drawback is that it costs over 2,000 yen...other than that, perfect score!
P.S.
I was wondering if I should separate this series from "Sono Kangiku" since it's a different series. I was wondering if it would be better to separate it from "So-no-Kangiku", but it seems you guys don't separate "OCEAN99" and "O㏄asional"... so I'm posting it as is...
Toyo Bijin, which had been on my mind for some time and which I had purchased last month, was opened. The aroma was sweet and the taste was pear-like with a refreshing and crisp aftertaste. I had not heard much about this sake rice called Hashu Honor, but it was developed by Takagi Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture.
I don't know if my nose is bad, but I don't detect any aroma.
Fruity flavor, but not too sweet, just right 🥰.
Delicious 🍶 as it is reputed to be.
I've read on a few websites that it's more dry 🍶, but as an amateur sake drinker, it's a little sweeter and easier to drink for me 😅.
Maybe because I don't compare 🍶 drinks very often, I can't describe the difference in taste and flavor well 😭.
Alcohol content: 15 degrees Celsius
Polishing ratio: 50
Rice used: 100% Sakemirai from Yamagata Prefecture
Third and final run at Yajima TDL!
My daughter and sister said "I found something interesting! I've had this one before ⁉️" and brought it here 🤗.
It's a standard story 😅"Isn't this a relative of Ononono?" We all got excited and decided to bring her along 😄.
Please read Nemuchi's excellent post at the end of last year for the "Ononono-Tanonono" story 🤗.
Kawatsuru-san from the series "I've never had a drink before" 🤗
When I took off the outer lid and took my eyes off the bottle to make sure it wasn't a bottle-opening warning, the lid popped off with a "pop! and the lid flew off 😳Good luck!
I'll make love to you
The aroma is mildly fruity 😌.
I took a sip! I thought it would be more like a classic 😋, but it's a fresh and fruity wine with a nice balance of flavor and acidity 😆.
By the way, after we went to Yajima Sake Shop together, my sister was wondering what other liquor stores are there 😅She said she heard from someone who knows a lot about it and asked me on LINE if I've been to "Sake no Oikawa". She asked me if I've been to "Sake no Oikawa" on line! I've bought more than 40 bottles of sake at Oikawa's 😊".
The acquaintance replied, "You're a hardcore fan, little brother! That's great! and he laughed hysterically 😁.
I did buy a lot from a liquor store in Chiba where I don't live😅.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Nemuchi's post is excellent once again 😁✨✨.
It's a good trend that your daughter and sister are getting more and more interested in sake 🎵.
I'd like to try some sake from Kagawa Prefecture since I don't have much experience with it 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
I was wondering if there is a non-alcoholic sake from Kawatsuru Brewery 😅I didn't know that you buy so much from Oikawa-san 💪🤤 I wish I could visit there once in a while.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃!
Tanotsukuru Taste of Kawatsuru, this looks delicious... I didn't know about this sake so I'll check it out ✨I'd love to try Tanotsukuru 👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃
Yajima TDL, you had a great time ☺️ how I envy you 😊.
I'm interested in your sake 😁.
I'm super interested in Oikawa-san, the sake shop you mentioned before 🤩.
If I have my next business trip... 🥺.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I also got my first clear sake from Kawatsuru-san at a department store tasting, and at the time I bought the special jun because of the cute label 😀.
The only sake shop I usually go to that has Kawatsuru's is Sanuki Cloudy😅.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃
I didn't know Kawazuru has such a classic looking bottle 😆 I was betrayed in a good way that the taste is also sweet and sour modern despite its appearance 🥰The noble two are famous everywhere 💕.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞gachie is a psycho~ compliment ✨️ I've never had a river crane, but I only knew Olive and Cloudy 🙄 I never met them in the first place 😅.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😁Yajima-san is a good friend of ours through online shopping: ☝️
My hometown doesn't sell out-of-prefecture sake very well, so I solely get it by mail order 😆.
I envy you for being able to go to the store to buy it 😂.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
This one always makes me think of Onononono😅and I can't get it out of my head😂.
You've bought quite a few even though you're out of the prefecture ❗️ certainly qualifies you to call yourself a sake Oikawa gachi 😎.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃.
Thank you for looking back 😊interesting, isn't it😄
Yes, it is! I'm also getting information about nearby stations, including the corner station 🤗I can recommend this one 👋.
Good evening, freelancer first generation man 😃.
On the contrary, we didn't realize that we are Sanuki Claudi's brewery 😅.
Are you visiting your father or Oikawa? I'm sorry it's closed on Sundays 😢.
Good evening, chika 😃.
The Yajima TDL store itself is quite small 😅but they seem to have a hidden stock 🤗.
There are liquor stores in Tochigi prefecture that are just as good as ours ‼️ If you ever get to Chiba, please stop by 👋
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
Yes, I am very happy with my purchase 😊 and I had a great time 😄! I had a great shopping experience 😊and I had a great time 😄.
I dropped by Sake no Oikawa last weekend as well! I'm worried that their selection is a bit down lately 🥲 but it's a good liquor store 🤗.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
This look looks classic, doesn't it?
No, no, we are not famous anywhere 😅 we live together quietly so that you don't find us 🫠.
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
Please let me know if you come to Kanto sake shop tour 🚙🤗It's surprising that we don't drink near here 😅We don't drink as much as our neighbors Gunma and Ibaraki....
Tochigi is a different story though 😉.
Good evening Nao888😃.
Gachi-sei was a compliment 😆 I was thinking 🤔 that it is indeed a normal thing in the sakewa world 😊Cloudy can be found in supermarkets and other places, but you can also find onononononononononon 😁.
Good evening, yoyoyo😃.
It was our first meeting too! You might meet them unexpectedly 🤗I don't think Kawazuru-san was aiming for this 😅I have to make a story out of this 😁.
Good evening, Kano 😃.
Ohhhh! I see that ‼️ we are really blessed to have a liquor store even if it is a little far away 🥹I aim to buy without potty 😊I am thankful for the environment that allows me to do that 🤗.
Good evening, Sashiu 😃.
When I go to a liquor store for the first time, I usually choose a sake that I don't normally see 🤗This one was a bottle that I was able to get thanks to my sister and daughter👍.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
I wrote a standard comment on Hiro's comeback 😅"Ono no nokoru" is inevitable 😊.
But you know, this time "tanokoteru" became my favorite word and even the editor-in-chief Nobby complimented me on it 😉.
Good evening, Nemuchi 😃.
I was looking back 😙 to see if anyone else was enjoying 😙 and I was glued to Nemuchi's post 😆 such a funny story 😁I'm wondering why I didn't comment myself at that time 😅.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good morning!
Kawatsuru's sakes seem to be getting more aggressive! I recently tasted Olive Active Nigori (not yet posted) and it was delicious and unlike Kawatsuru's. 🤩.
Yajima Sake Shop Passionate Jizake no Kai
It was a wonderful event😊.
I was so engrossed in the sake and the brewery that I don't have many photos... 🥲.
This is a new one from Koei Kiku that I've been wanting to drink since I saw your post: ‼️
I was so happy to find it at Yajima TDL 😳I had to look twice😊.
I'm really scared to open a bottle of Kouei Kiku 🚀 so be careful, but it feels like I'm about to blow a schwizzle! This this this! This is the feeling I was looking for!
I'll make love to you in a Riedel glass
The aroma is just like this 😌.
The first sip is just what I was looking for 😙It's slightly sweet, but the bitter acidity that follows makes it easy to drink 😋 It was perfect for summer at 13°C 😚.
By the way, on the way back from Yajima TDL
It was a hot day 🥵 so when we stopped for lunch, I was carrying a cooler box and everyone was laughing at me😅.
After that, when we were going home together, I got very sleepy 🥱 on the highway and we took a break at Hasuda SA! While looking at the store, we found a lemon shake and we both enjoyed it.
It's been a while since I've had a delicious shake 😄When we got back to the car, I left the kids (who were drinking alcohol) behind 😰.
I left my kids in the car and returned to the car to remind myself that I left my kids (alcohol) behind 🌂.
Be careful not to leave your things in the car in summer. ‼️
Jay & Nobby Noon Crescent😄I was also interested in this product when I saw it on danchu! I've been curious about it since I saw it on danchu! I sometimes leave it in the car myself.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
The lingering summer heat is still very hot, so the fizzy and bubbly 13° is very useful 😄.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm still in between 💦.
Be careful not to misplace my child 😤.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I didn't know you have a Riedel glass 🥹.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the Koei Kiku as well as other sake in this glass. Umayashii👍
Jay & Nobby, ❤️ looks delicious! I wonder if they still sell it 🧐I'll go look for it tomorrow 💪.
I know it's hard to shop in the summer 💦We also load up our portable fridge, but at night it's hard to go to the convenience store and buy more ice and take care of it‼️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄!
Yajima TDL is amazing 😍I never expected to see you twice💕I know how you feel 🤩It's really hot in the car in the summer 💦Cautionary reminder walking, the kids will forgive you 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Kouei Chrysanthemum doesn't have any hassles either 😋.
Your review sounds delicious too 🤤.
I will be touring the breweries in a rental car tomorrow so I will be careful not to leave it behind in the car 😆👍️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I see you have opened the bottle!
I drank it in a Riedel glass too 😉.
Summer is a good time for a schwarzwald honored chrysanthemum 😃❗️
Jay & Nobby here too 🌛.
I can't leave the alcohol I buy in the car either, so you're taking it into the restaurant where you eat or shop 🤣.
The temperature is too high for me to worry about even with block ice in it 🧊.
Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
I'm impressed that you have a cooler box 😃I'll make sure I have one when I drive around liquor stores and breweries 🍶I know when I'm sleepy, a cold shake will wake me up 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🦉.
Thank you for your hard work in the hot weather💦I'm also carrying a cooler bag to eat lunch and go shopping😅I hope it cools down soon!
This is the perfect drink for now! I'd like to drink it since it's still hot...
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Noon Crescent is delicious and schwashy 🫧☺️
I also bring a cooler bag to the liquor store, but if it's Yajima TDL, it has to be a cooler box, otherwise it's not enough capacity 😁.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🌞You've made the summer sake quadrant 🥳I'm glad you two are woo hoo 😳Whenever I bring you along, I always keep you in style 🥰.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Your review reminded me that I haven't had Koei Kiku for a while 🙄 I wonder if I still have any summer sake left 🥹.
Leaving it all over the car is a shock, just because I'm so careful 😭.
Hi Sashiu, good evening 😃.
I gave up this year 😔I'm glad I got it 🤗I recommend it because it's light and tasty👍.
I have to be careful how I feel about alcohol 😅.
Good evening, soumacho 😃.
Yes, it was! It was a light and tasty one, perfect for this time of the year 😋I'm afraid to open the bottle 🚀 but 😱 you can't go wrong 😊.
You really have to take care of your kids 😇
Hi Ace, good evening 😃.
I bought a Riedel glass with the points I had accumulated in the past! It was so thin that it broke 😢I'm now on my second generation ‼️ and I use both Nosaku and Riedel depending on what I'm drinking 🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Pekho 😃.
It looks like you are putting out several times 🧐 so there might be some somewhere ‼️ waiting for your good news 👍Pekho's place is very serious so it must be hard to take care 😅we are cooler box + more ice 🧊.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I wasn't expecting it 😔I was surprised to see so many of them on the market 😳.
Yes, I was! I was sweating a lot 💦 from walking in the evening 🥵I hope you forgave me 🍺 and I had a nice beer 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃.
I generally don't miss out on anything I drink 😅I'm not missing out on the honored chrysanthemum👍.
Oh! I'm looking forward to touring the breweries in a rented car 😊I see you rented a 4T truck🚚🤣.
Good evening, ymdaz 😃.
I finally got it and opened the bottle: ‼️
Riedel glasses are good for this kind of schwarz liquor 😊Thanks for the honor chrysanthemum 🥹.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
The clasp on the cooler box is loose 🧐I was laughed at when I walked into the 👨🍼 restaurant with a hug 😅.
I'm worried even with more ice 😨I left it for a short time this time and it was fine 😮💨
Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
I didn't think that the one I used when my kids were little would work so well as an adult 🤗.
Make sure you always have it in your car👍.
If you get sleepy while driving 🥱 don't force yourself to rest!
Good evening, Pon 😃.
When it's extremely hot 🥵, it's hard to get home after buying alcohol 😫.
I remember my teacher telling me "it's a field trip until you get home" 😆 I like to refresh myself with a light schwa drink when it's hot😇.
Good evening, Aladdin 😃.
Yes, I am very happy to hear from you! Aladdin-san had put in a commentary that he was looking forward to next season 🥲 but I managed to get one: ‼️
An honest and delicious one 😋I enjoyed it🤗.
Good evening Nao888😃!
Yes, I got it thanks to Yajima TDL and I was able to check the bite! Thanks to Yajima TDL I was able to get it and check the bite 😆Whoah~ I'll get it 😊If I don't get it under my skin 🧐it might be nuru heated 🍶 by the time I drink it 🤣.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
We, Koei Chrysanthemum, might be drinking pretty consistently 😋 because it's turning into autumn sake 🍁 🧐 I hope there's some of it left somewhere.
I really hope there is some left somewhere! I hope there are some left somewhere 🍁 but really!
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
I've been curious about the new Koei Chrysanthemum and haven't been able to buy it 😆 It's still hot and it's a summer sake, I bought a fall sake 😱.
In a Riedel glass 🥂😍.
It's dangerous to leave it behind this time of year 😭
Jay & Nobby.
Good morning...noon crescent is delicious 🤤The sweet and bitter acid of chrysanthemum is very addictive 🤩When I go on an expedition, I bring a cool bag with refrigerant, but it melts in the heat...
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙
The new Kouei Kiku 🤩 still looks really good ✨I want to drink it next year 😚.
But in the car in the summer, it's a killer 🥲I'm bringing it home in fear that it won't get too hot 🥹.
Good evening, Ao😃.
I'm curious about this one! I was lucky to find it: ✌️
No problem 😚 because it's a good fall sake 🍁.
Really! The kids were not harmed 😓 but we must be careful!
Good evening, Kozo 😃.
We finally met in Chiba too ‼️ really makes you want to drink Koei Chrysanthemum 😋🚙 is good for the middle of the run because it cools down quickly 😅 don't leave it behind ❌.
Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
We were thinking of getting one next year too! I thought we were going to get it, but luckily we did. ‼️ It's so good 😙.
We let Mr. Sake stay in the coolest place in the car in the summer 😊.
This is a bottle I bought at Yajima TDL in Chiba, which I visited a while ago!
I was looking through the fridge and this bottle caught my eye 🤩 and the label on the back says "deliciously spicy" 😋 and it's cheap despite its appearance 😁.
I picked it up without hesitation ‼️
Here's a series of sake I've never had before! It's from Mie Sake, Takihama 🤗....
What? I thought it was just recently released ⁉️
You may be thinking, "I just posted this recently! You have a good memory 👍.
Actually, I was supposed to raise this one at my first drink, but I drank it outside the house in a flying accident 😆.
I was looking at the picture of drinking outside of Omiya and I thought "Hey, you're drinking Taki Pride 😳"! I realized that I was drinking Taki Pride 😳😆.
I can't even talk about my dad 😓, and as a result, this will be my second Takihitama this week 🤭.
I'll make love to you
The aroma is slightly fruity 😌.
The first sip is a deliciously fruity and acidic flavor, which is followed by a crisp, dry finish 😙.
This day we had delicious sashimi from Asanoya, so the spicy flavor was perfect for us 😚 It's a perfect food sake and as the name suggests, it makes me feel proud of Japan 🫡.
The three bottles I got at Yajima TDL were carefully brought back to Utsunomiya in a cooler box!
Jay & Nobby, good evening😄I see you purchased Taki Pride at Yajima TDL! And the power word deliciously spicy that captured your hearts is brilliant 🤩It's a word that wouldn't even catch my eye 💦Sweetly fruity would have caught my eye 👀🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Hmph 😁That was your later eh 😁✨✨.
But I would usually do it too 🤣.
Power word Takihama-san is perfect with delicious sashimi - it's the best 🤤!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I see! I must have flown 😁I post it right away so I don't forget to drink outside 🍶Asanoya's sashimi looks good too, I'll have my friend in Utsunomiya buy some 🤔.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😆.
So that's what the 'eh❗' was about: ⁉️
I'm a little 'eh ❔' 🤣.
I'm still surprised that it was your first time to boast about waterfalls 😮 That's a real "eh❗".
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀
We had our first Takihama on our spring trip to Mie 😀.
It's still too expensive for us to drink it at home, but it has its own character and is delicious when compared to other wines 😇.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃With this cool bottle with "Japan proud" written on it, you feel destiny the moment you meet it, it has an aura or something 🥰The spiciness will be the best match with sashimi, so it was a happy drinking time 😊.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good morning 🤩.
This label is a reversal of the image of Takihyo 🤩.
So this was the "later eh" of the last Takihyo repo 😁 I'm doing it too... 👍
Hi Jay & Nobby😊
I have one too. I wrote in Sakewa that I was drinking it for the first time and you gave it to me a long time ago 😂.
I thought you already drank it since you were commenting on it when I drank Taki Pride! That would be great 🥳.
Jay & Nobby 😍It was a flying synchronization 🤣I'm also inattentive about last year, so if I'm wrong about your first drink post, please pick at me: 🙇♀️💦
It sure is deliciously spicy 👏❤️ happy that it's your favorite flavor as expected ‼️
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I don't recognize the label on this series 😆 I would recognize it if it said "Waterfall Pride" on the front... which I would do 😂.
If it's to your liking, I'll be happy to try it for the umpteenth time 😉.
Jay & Dr. Nobby, thank you for your time!
I would love to visit Yajima TDL 🥰!
and Tsudanuma🏪🍶💕.
Speaking of getting beat up, I got the No.6 S-type the other day 💖 when I got home, my painter got the same 🍶 😅.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😃!
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that we're all proud to be a part of the Japanese pride ✨Takihama is so good that you'll forget you've had it 🤗.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
Yes 😅I was so impressed with Japan Proud that I didn't realize how proud I was of my waterfall 😆.
The word that catches the eye is different for everyone 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃.
I know neither of the sake looks like Takihama 😅but the one I had in Omiya also had Proud in it 😆If you want to match it with sashimi, I'm glad you chose the right one 😃! I'm glad that the sake you chose is perfect 😋.
Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
It was a mistake to get a flying ticket 😆.
I don't really care about the brand or anything when I drink outside 😅
Asanoya! I recommend it because you can't go wrong with the taste 🤗Ikatoro maki and others are excellent 😋.
Good evening, N.E. 😃.
It! Ehhhh, it's okay ⁉️ is going to be a labor of love 😅.
I'm not sure if this is really your first time 🧐 I'm not sure myself, but it's probably your first time 🙄.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
You can definitely check out drinking outside first 🤗.
That's it! You can also compare and have a little bit at a time 🏠 since many people sometimes come to Yasbaye's house 😆.
Good evening, Momochi 😃.
I brought you 3 bottles including this one ‼️ I'm drinking the other 2 bottles and will raise them from now on 🤗.
Yes, it's good to have a spicy one in the fridge! It's a relief to have a good spicy one in the fridge 😋.
Good evening, Wakata 😃.
Yes, I was so proud of myself! I felt doomed and picked it up 🙂 but I know it's expensive ⁉️ and when I looked at the price tag in mail order style, I was surprised to see it was cheap 🫢 I felt pride there too 🥹.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃
I just noticed that 😳The kanji "瀧自慢" was also written in gold letters on the front in a cool way 😅Yes! If it's good, I'm ok with drinking it for the first time every time 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Muro 😃.
It's fun to visit famous places in Chiba 🚚.
The double get for No.6 is not just a joke, but well done 🤗I'll take the extra ‼️ for the case 😊.
Hi Hiro, good evening 😃.
Grabbed it by the looks of it 😅 saw the price and held it under my arm 😆.
Yes, I did! I tasted the pride of Japan 🇯🇵 🍶 and it was delicious 😋! I will never forget only ‼️
Jay & Nobby, this is the one you mentioned last time! It's true that you can't tell it's Takihyo just by looking at it, and sometimes you don't even remember the sake you drank at the izakaya, surprisingly! I see that it goes perfectly with sashimi as a food sake!
Hi Sashi 😃
Yes, I've been looking for a new restaurant for a while now! All I remember is that it's just delicious and I've never seen any other Takihama 😅.
It looks cool, but it was a delicious food sake perfect for sashimi!
Hi Kano 😃
I'm sure you'll like it! This chalet look is very attractive 🤗I thought it looks modern, but it was a bottle that was dry and enhanced the taste of sashimi 😋.
We had a bottle of Banshu Issen Junmai Ginjo Aizan from Sanyo Bai Shuzo, one of our favorite sake breweries. It was my first time to taste a sake brewed with Banshu Issen's Aiyama rice.
The aroma on the nose is mild, but in the mouth it has a fruity sweetness like green apples and a sourness that spreads across the palate. Perhaps it is because the rice is made from "shin-gin" polished rice, but it has a nice, clear and smooth texture.
I met this bottle at a liquor store where I sometimes drop by.
I was excited even before opening the bottle, because it was a "surefire Kangiku" and distributed only in Chiba. The concept of using local rice and water to make sake that Matsuo and Chiba can be proud of is wonderful.
The sake was right in the middle of my favorite.
The aroma is gently fruity like a pear.
The mouthfeel is sharp and smooth, with a moderate sweetness and a pleasant gasiness.
The medium-bodied palate has a well-balanced harmony of acidity, bitterness, and spiciness.
The aftertaste is refreshing, with a dry bitterness that quickly breaks off.
The price is also very reasonable at around 1,500 yen for a four-pack bottle. The only drawback is that it is rare and hard to find.
The best accompaniment is sashimi and sushi purchased at the supermarket, and it goes great with them.
My favorite score: 9.5/10
Aroma: 2.0｜Mouthfeel: 1.5｜Medium: 2.0｜Final taste: 2.0｜Price: 2.0
→ Full marks if the mouthfeel is a little less sweet!
Colorless, no smell
Both sweet and sour, very just right ☺️
The melon will chase after you 😍.
I always want to keep a bottle of this 🍶🥰.
I enjoyed the fire-roasted as much as the raw sake 🥹.
Alcohol content: 15 degrees Celsius
Polishing ratio: 55
Rice: 100% Aizu grown Yumenokou
I enjoyed it so much last year that I am happy to repeat it this year 🥰.
It has a pleasant popping sound and a good balance of sweet, tasty, sour and bitter 🍶😋.
I think the sweetness and bitterness is a little stronger than last year 🤔.
Very easy to drink, be careful not to drink too much... 😅
Good evening, Mr. Hero8!
Chiebijin-san is the only sake from Oita that I have ever had, and I remember that it was well-balanced, easy to drink, and delicious 😋.
I would like to try the regular Chiebijin this year 🤗.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki!
I also received my first Oita Prefecture 🍶 last year!
Like you, I commented that I would like to try other specs, but I haven't yet 😰.
This year is the year 🍶!
This is the first Shizuoka sake, one of two bottles I recently purchased.
When the bottle was opened, the aroma was not strong. When I took a sip, I found it to be drier than I expected. It is refreshing, so it is good for those who do not like sweet sake.
On the way to work, I stopped by Yajima Sake Shop to buy a bottle of Sengoku Kuwagata, but there was a mysterious blank space in the Sengoku section 😓 There were only a few bottles of Kangiku left, but I was able to buy this one and was happy.
It is said to be Sake Mirai's Kangiku, but to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference 😅 Still, it is Kangiku, so of course I enjoyed it. I guess it depends on my mood from next year onwards...
Even if I could have bought it, I might have been glad not to buy it, considering that I had to carry it to work for almost an hour without cooling it down. I'll cry if it explodes on the way 😱.
A visit to a liquor store after a long absence. I chose a selection of sake mainly from prefectures that I have not drank before. This was my first Ishikawa sake.
The aroma was subtle, and when you put it in your mouth, you could feel it on the tip of your tongue. The soft sweetness and mild acidity, combined with the low alcohol content, made it very easy and gentle to drink.
I bought this sake at the same time when I went to buy a certain sake. I am ignorant to the extent that when I looked at the lid, it said "Tedorigawa" and I wondered if it was from there, but I often saw it at Sake-no-wa, so the taste was guaranteed 💪.
I haven't had Tedorigawa since I drank Sakatama a long time ago, but I remember that it had a much more relaxed taste, while this one is more modern and to my liking. The label on the back says it is slightly sparkling, but I didn't really feel it 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. Freelancer First Generation Man!
I'm interested in a certain sake 😁✨✨.
I used to get Tedorigawa at sushi restaurants, but I've never seen Yoshida Kurau before, but I'd like to try it 🤗🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki!
It's another spec of sake I drank recently, so it's not that great 😌.
I like sushi restaurants that serve Tedorigawa - it usually seems to go well with it. u enjoyed it so I hope you do ✨.
