Risshun Morning Squeeze Series 🌅.
I've already had this one lol
My only daughter was so impressed last year that she missed the pre-order deadline and went to buy some but it's not there anymore: ‼️
This year I was able to buy it in the Ibaraki set✨
Purchased at Kasumi supermarket in Ibaraki. It has a clean, refreshing aroma, but is not sweet. It does not have an aftertaste and can be enjoyed with any drink. It has a watery taste, but not as refreshing as the Yamanashi variety, and has a mouthfeel and nose that is typical of Ibaraki sake. I wish I could drink it as an everyday sake.
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content: 16° to 17° C
There is just a little bit of color. When I poured it into a bowl, I could see a few air bubbles, but it was not so gaseous. The aroma was strong through the nose after the woody and sour aroma spread on the palate.
I was thankful to be able to enjoy the sake pressed on the morning of Risshun again this year ✨.
I bought the same three brands as last year. Every year I worry about the order in which to taste them, but I decided to start with my only daughter who has been drinking them for a long time 😆.

First "Ittomusume" It's a sake brewery in Joso City, Ibaraki.
It's been a long time since I've had a "light and dry" sake.
Old-fashioned?
No, no, not in a bad way.
You can feel the taste of rice and it is refreshing.
It was a good sake that went down your throat.
I think it tasted good because it was in the fridge.
I think it was delicious because it was in the refrigerator.
There was a paper carton of "Ippin" for sale on the shelf at room temperature.
Special junmai sake, 60% polished rice ratio, 15% ALC
Slightly dry and crisp sake. The label was nice, so I bought it.
Mito York-Benimaru:20221030 purchased 20221102 opened
Grayish-crystalline, with aromas of koshinko, green bamboo, honeysuckle, and shiitake mushrooms. The attack is rather strong, with moderate acidity and a touch of sweetness. The lingering finish is rather short and sharp.
When I requested a clear and dry taste, this was recommended to me.
I think it is a bit thick or sticky in the mouth.
But it has the refreshing taste I was looking for.
This might be water if you are having a meal.
If it is a stand-alone drink, you may not be able to reach out for it for a while.
