Happy New Year! We will continue to do our best this year, so thank you for your support 🙇.
I thought I'd start the New Year with a sake with a name to celebrate the New Year. I really wanted to get a higher grade, but the store only had this one 😅.
No, but it's delicious enough ✨.
I think Fuku-ju is great warmed up!
The first bottle of 2026 is the Fukusuku Hatsu Shibori Junmai Ginjo Comet 55% Unfiltered Nama Sake from Tohei Shuzo in Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture 🤗.
We call it Fukushuku on New Year's Day 😘.
We had it with osechi, and I personally think it's a little too sweet 🥲.
Alcohol content: 16 degrees Celsius
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Rice used: 100% Hokkaido comet
Price: 1,760 yen for 720ml
Here are some more sakes from the "SENDAI Sake Fest!" hosted by Sake no Kawashima on May 25th.
I am ashamed to admit that this was probably the first time I had ever tasted this brand of sake, "Fukui Iwai.
I had not had many sakes brewed with comets before, so I chose this one.
It has a well-honed taste that is typical of highly polished rice.
But it also has a full-bodied taste 😋.
I only had this one this time because of the time and the extra intoxication, but I'd like to try other types when I get the chance ✨.
The fourth photo is a completely missed opportunity 😭.
After all, it's a relatively new brand, so I'm sure everyone is curious about it...
Thank you very much for coming from far away Kyoto!
I hope to see you next time! (*maybe a little too much)
Green aroma of young pineapple and bamboo.
Sharp acidity on the palate. Citrus flavors.
There is a slight astringency on the palate,
The strong umami that is typical of the original sake comes through later on.
The aftertaste is long, but the acidity keeps it from being dull.
3/5 for my favorite.
Izakaya Uohana is located near Chiba station.
It is easy to drink because it is a little spicy but not too strong.
There is a sake brewery in Kimitsu Kururi, isn't there? I didn't know that.
Junmai 🍶 Shiboritate Nama Sake✨
Third tasting at Kururi Sake Museum.
Freshly squeezed, but more complex than freshly squeezed. Sweet and sour, but not just that. I think the acidity is more dominant.
