I thought it was a delicious sake, with a subtle acidity and refreshing sweetness, followed by a good amount of bitterness that was crisp, smooth, and easy to drink.
Junmai Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake🍶Summer Junmai☀️🏝️
A little matured, but also has the freshness of a summer sake. Dry aftertaste. Serve with a penne salad with toro eagle 😋.

These days, I buy Harada by the square 🍶.
A shime cup while eating ramen at home lol 😆.
It's slightly effervescent and not a shime but a good first drink ‼️
Following yesterday's walk in Nara, today I walked to Hattori Ryokuchi Park in my neighborhood, walked around the park, had a meal, and came back home. 🚶♂️
Although it was in the neighborhood, the total distance was 14 kilometers, so it was a fair distance to walk 😀.
Today's walking companion was Harada's special Jun, which I bought when I went back to my hometown Shimonoseki in September 😀.
It was made from Yamaguchi Prefecture's sake rice, Saito no Shizuku 😀.
It was a good sake with a robust taste but also a strong umami flavor 😀.
It went well with my bento box lunch of takikomi gohan with chicken, and was a delicious sake that soaked into my body after a long day of walking 😀.
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
Nice place to have lunch 🍱 & drink 🍶 break in the middle of walking! You say neighborhood, but 14km is great 😳 Walking is important.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
I walk more than 10 km on weekdays for commuting and training, but on my days off I don't move unless I'm conscious of it 😅.
But I must have sake as a reward for walking though 🤣.
Tonight, my wife and I went to a Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. We had a course meal that included Peking duck, stir-fried beef with oyster sauce, abalone and shark's fin stew, and fried rice for dinner.
Harada is fruity, so I enjoyed it with simmered dishes and fried rice.
The price was reasonable because of the shareholder's special benefit.
Rice】 Yamadanishiki produced in Yamaguchi prefecture

A special junmai sake with a refreshing thirst and a lingering taste of richness and rice flavor.
Slightly dry and refreshing, it has the strength to stand up to meat dishes.
It can be enjoyed cold or lukewarm.
Today my wife and I celebrated the anniversary of my parents' wedding anniversary and longevity celebration!
Both of my parents were very touched and we talked a lot about the memories of our trip last month.
On such an evening, I recently purchased a sake from Hatsumomiji, which I became interested in after reading a post by Sake-no-Wa.
This time it was Harada Gentetsu.
This is my first sake from the brewery!
Let's have it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. It smells sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a fluffy sweetness, and then, poof, it's gone.
You will feel a slight bitterness and a refreshing citrus sweetness.
The lingering aftertaste is a slight spiciness in the back of the throat.
The mouthfeel is smooth, clean, easy to drink, and delicious!
When paired with a meal, the bitterness and spiciness increase, giving it a slightly thicker feel. It was delicious without interfering with the meal.
Day 2
The same beautiful mouthfeel as before.
I started to feel a stronger bitterness and I think it became easier to match with meals.
However, when matched with a meal, it has a different taste with an interesting sweetness. I also felt the firmness of unfiltered unpasteurized sake today.
Third day
The taste is soft again today.
It is delicious with a firm sweetness.
The bitter taste and the spiciness in the back of the throat come out when you think it has been reset.
The third day was just as delicious as ever!
Good morning, ma-ki-😃!
Congratulations to your parents on their celebration🥂㊗️🎉I'm glad you had a wonderful time😄.
This sake also has a beautiful label and the taste seems elegant ✨🗒️ I'll try ❣️
Good morning, ma-ki, I'm sure your parents must have been very happy to see you. I think I'll call them today 😁I didn't know about the sake here, but Yamaguchi Prefecture is rich in it. ☺️
Good morning, ma-ki-! 😀
Congratulations to your parents on their wedding anniversary & longevity! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations on your wedding... You wrote that your parents were very moved by your wedding. I wonder if your parents drank with you? Reading your post made me happy: ☺️
Thank you for your comment, Sasuyuu.
They are really happy with everything and it makes us happy too 😁✨.
My father drank shochu and my mother drank brandy, and my father ate a lot of food and had a good night 😊.
It's been a while Harada 🍶.
I wanted to drink 😆.
This one was made in 2021 and matured for 3 years 😁.
It still has a gaseous taste and it's still a little chili on the tongue 👅.
It is sweet and delicious ❗️
