All sake is made from pure rice brewed in a tank and pressed with the blessings of mountain grates and underground water from Shakagatake in the Suzuka Mountains.
The brewer's passion for sake is expressed by carefully balancing the sake as a whole by drawing out the characteristics of each rice.
Bourru = Nigori (nigori)
Bourru = nigori (a refreshing sourness and sweetness). It is a light nigori special junmai sake with a rich aroma suitable for summer.

It still has the same pineapple-like sweetness, but with more grapefruit-like freshness and bitterness than the 23 year? It's delicious!
More summery, refreshing and easy to drink!
I wasn't sure when it would arrive,
I asked the liquor store, "Do you have any summer boulleu?" I asked the liquor store, "Do you have any summer bourroux? Now! I was surprised. What is it? I was just about to ask, when I came upon the toji-san carrying cardboard boxes from his truck. It might have been the first and last time I bought directly from the cardboard boxes that had just arrived, not from the liquor store's refrigerator.
I had such memories.
Come to think of it, it has "Tamitsu" on the lid, which I didn't have in 23 years. Maybe I'll drink some more Tamitsu.

Luxury to be able to compare with 24 years
Sweet and refreshing aroma and taste like pineapple. Fruity with a slightly bitter aftertaste, it was very easy to drink without any sweetness. Delicious! And cheap!
They say it comes in every year around 2-3 weeks in June.
A colleague at work said that only nigori (cloudy) sake would win.
I warned him that it was not the nigori-style sake that I like.
It was slightly white.
As the name "summer nigori" suggests, it has a refreshing acidity. It is easy to drink and has a gentle taste on the palate.
My colleague said it was different from the muddiness he was expecting. However, they seriously learned that there is such a thing as this.
Hello, Nochi-san!
I guess your colleague was thinking of new sake nigori sake 😊.
I also drank this one and it was great and easy to drink with a summer sake feel👍
Summer liquor consumption!
It's still hot, but now that it's September, we must cut back on summer liquor!
This one seems to be early spring, not tamitsu!
I couldn't buy it last year, so I got my wish 😆.
The scent is rumney✨.
Pleasant petit gas feeling 😊.
Sweet at first, but a refreshing sourness spreads in the second half, making it easy to drink 😋.
Finished the drink with flying colors! Excellent👍
This is one I want to drink again next year 😆.
I had tsukemen for lunch for the first time in a while!
It's been a while since I've had tsukemen (noodles) since I've ordered ramen even at restaurants that are famous for tsukemen 😋.
I like the standard seafood type 🍜.
Good evening, kino.
Boulleu is delicious 🎵
I also learned about it from Sake no Wasa and got it at the last minute at the end of summer. It was very easy to drink and I was nodding to kino.'s review 😊.
Good morning, Noodle Sake King!
Maybe it tasted even better because I missed it last year 😋.
The tsukemen also had an animal + seafood flavor with a delicious dipping sauce👍.
Today I'm having my bimonthly house party with my friend and his wife 🏠️🍺.
We just eat and drink at our house and talk about nothing else.
However, my friend and his wife do not drink sake, so we do not drink sake at this party.
So we had it early from lunch 🍶.
Today we will open a bottle of Hayakawa Sake Brewery's Early Spring Summer Bourru.
I had given up on it because it had been a while since I had heard about it from Sake-no-Wawa, but I received a notice from the liquor store where I buy Mie sake that it was still available, so I got it without hesitation.
So let's have it right away.
The aroma is gentle and sweet.
First of all, I drank it without mixing the lees.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweet, fresh, and astringent taste comes in a flash, and it is quite tasty.
The bitter taste flows smoothly in the end, so it is not too sweet and is very easy to drink.
When you roll it around in your mouth, you can feel the sake flavor and it is very satisfying to drink.
Next, I mixed the lees and drank it.
The spiciness and bitterness are a little more intense and refreshing.
It also has a chili chili feeling, and I felt it was a very energetic sake.
Of course, the sweetness is still there and very tasty.
I am looking forward to the taste change after tomorrow 🎵.
Good morning, ma-ki-san. ☀️ I didn't get to drink it this year, but it is delicious. I gave it as a gift to a sake novice and she said it was easy to drink and delicious. Keep up the good work with Mie Sake 😀.
Thank you, Hiace!
Your choice of gift is wonderful ✨I think my love of sake is going to increase 🎵.
We've received a lot of sake from Mie so far and I know we will continue to be served by you 😊.
Thank you, Gyve.
Yes, I am very happy to hear that! If you can't drink at night, drink at noon ⤴️ strategy,, that was simple 🤣.
I'm going to spend my weekends drinking ✨.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby.
I see you have experience of being drunk with stones. ⤴️
I served whiskey to my friend and cider + fruit wine to his wife: 🍸️ I will gradually solicit sake as well: ☺️
Thank you, Pon.
I also learned about this sake from Sake no Wasa 🎵.
Indeed, nigori is fun because it shows totally different faces when mixed or not 😊.
Thank you very much, touchtacchi.
I did have the Tamitsu twice and it was very well balanced and very tasty 🎵.
I have some labels waiting in the fridge, so I am looking forward to drinking them 😊.
Good morning ma-ki!
Bourgoux is delicious 😄I also drank it this summer and thought I would recommend it to others 😊It makes a great gift 😊I want to try it again before the summer is over✨.
Thank you, Hide.
The Boulud is really tasty, plus it's easy to drink, so I drank it all at a very fast pace for me 🎵.
It's still hot, so let's have another one, Hide-san 😊.
Well, the daytime heat ☀️ is getting to me 🫠.
The word "summer" on the label made me open the bottle in search of a cooler feeling.
Bourru" is a French word used for Bordeaux wine, which is made from grape juice on its way to becoming wine, and means "cloudy.
The first glass of cold sake, immediately after opening the bottle, has a minerality and a slightly salty taste. The nose and tongue are slightly sweet with a mushroom-like flavor...followed by a gentle bitterness.
The second glass, as the temperature rises, there is a slight pineapple or banana-like sweet fruitiness, a hint of malted rice... and it finishes with a refreshing acidity that lingers on the tongue. The good balance of sweet and sour taste increases the sensitivity 🥰.

Good evening, Kotori 😃.
I got the same one last summer 🤗I looked back to see what you wrote back then,
It's been a long time since I've had nigori micro carbonated! Yummmm!
It was 😆.
I'm looking forward to seeing the sake at the Kenmin Kai!
Good morning, Kotori-san: ☀️
Thanks for the Prefects' Meeting 😊It was nice to meet you 😆💕Good sake to drink on a hot day 😉.
Let's raise the sake of the Kenmin-kai...please comment on the sake 🙏🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃I was a little disappointed because I was expecting a little chili because of the plastic cap of the raw sake, but when I learned that it is a small brewery brewed by only 3 people, I could understand how hard it is to make it, which made it even more delicious 😌.
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 😊To get through the hot summer, I would like to drink every evening to restore my energy 😘🍶🍶The Tsubu-chan family is always surrounded by seasonal rare sake, I envy you 🤤.
My wife saw me fighting a battle with an army of vegetables in the fridge, and praised me as if I was a "man among men" ✨Don't praise me so much 😅.
I want a sake cellar....
Now that summer is finally in full swing, here is "Early Spring/Summer Boulleu", a summer sake despite being early spring!
It's a lightly cloudy, refreshing, slightly sparkling pineapple yogurt, and it looks like it would be a great summer sake!
It's not a summer-only sake, it's a year-round drink 😊.
Hi Hide 😃
This is a delicious and gobby blink-and-you'll-miss-it type of place 🤗.
I guess I shouldn't ❗️ with the argument that vegetables 🥬 are essential for physical health and alcohol 🍶 is essential for mental health, so both need a place = sake cellar 😅.
Nice to meet you Hide 😊Thanks for the delicious looking summer sake😍Tamitsu was my favorite too, I'll have to check out the early spring one ✅I'm also hiding from my wife and apologetically shoving sake into the fridge 🤣I'd love to have a cellar 😁.
Jaynobi 😆 Hello! I see! Vegetables are important, but so is sake, and both are important! This is a very useful opinion for the "do we really need a sake cellar in our house" debate with my wife 😊I will definitely refer to this ✨and win the sake cellar for sure 👊✨.
Nice to meet you, Nemuchii-san! Thank you😊If you like Tamitsu, I'm sure you'll like early spring too😊Please give it a try😊I'd love to buy a sake cellar someday and push a bottle of sake in there and look at it with pride 😅We'll do our best 😊✨.
Pear-like aroma and lactic acidity.
The smooth, smooth mouthfeel has a pineapple-like acidity. It is juicy and sweet, but has a clean and elegant aftertaste that does not feel heavy. It is very delicious.
This is a sake that I would like everyone to try during the summer. I think you will like it ^_^.
Highly recommended!
