Purchased at Icoma Sake Shop
I haven't had a non-hana-yeast Kiraku since last year's Junmai Namaizu at an off-line meeting.
It is fresh and has a moderate sweetness and a juicy flavor. As the official website says, it's like a grape.
It also has a bit of a rummy flavor?
It tastes better a little later than when it is fresh out of the fridge.
I can't find any reviews on this when I search 🤔.
Good evening, Mr. Aladdin.
I was wondering where in Hyogo you were going and I thought you went to a good warehouse in Rairaku😃.
I would like to see if there will be a Shimada Special at Rairaku as well 😊.
I went to the warehouse by myself for the first time after a senior staff member at work recommended it to me.
I am glad I drove hard.
It is delicious.
Memorandum.
I was interested in this sake because it was sold out when I visited the store before.
As the product description says
It was fragrant, fresh, and very tasty.
It was a very delicious sake.
It's too bad I couldn't take a picture of the bottle 😢,
It's a pity that I can't take a picture of the bottle 😢.
Thank you very much for your hospitality 😋😋.
Dewazuru was too disappointing, so I continued to open the bottle 😌.
The ikkoku series is brewed in limited quantities (100 bottles).
The barcode is the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge.
Purchased at the Ikkoku tasting at the Ikoma Sake Shop just before the meeting with Tomo-san 😁.
Sake made with strawberry yeast. As it says, strawberry flavor comes a lot later. The first half is quite sweet.
The impact is strawberry, but I think the oshiroibana was well-balanced. I was quite confused after tasting 🤔.
I wonder if this series will be released next year?
I'd like to get some oscilloibana but it looks like it's sold out 😥.
I think it's pretty sweet and tasty after 2 days of opening it.
The day before the Sakai Off-line Meeting, I had a chance to drink three kinds of rairaku at the Ikoma Sake Shop!
Botan Junmai Nama-nama sake
A little floral? It was well-balanced but lacked a little impact.
It is delicious, but as the description says, it is an honor student type.
Oshiroibana Junmai Nama Nama-genshu
The sweet and umami flavors are quite robust and delicious.
I think there is another non-hana-yeast sake from another brewery that has a similar taste 🤔.
It may be a common type of sake in terms of taste
Strawberry Junmai Namaizu Harusake
It doesn't contain strawberry, but for some reason it has a lot of strawberry flavor.
I personally prefer it to Amabuki's strawberry yeast.
Hi bouken 🐦.
I'm surprised to see that Rairaku makes a variety of floral yeast 😳I didn't see this series when I went there just recently🤣I'd like to try some oshiroibana 😋.
Good evening, Pon-chan.
I was so surprised because I only knew about Abelia and Tsukishimebijin 💦.
I was going to buy some if there were any left next time I went to the store, but it seems they sold out 😭
Ashiya "Kakitan" original ❤Abelia is the kind of flower that is often planted in the median strip of the road with many small flowers 🌸It's a tough flower that can live in the middle of the road but I didn't know it had such a gorgeous and pretty aroma ✨The owner of Kakitan put a lot of thought into this sake 🎵😋💕The sake cup is made by my father with a metal joint🍶. My mom is having a hard time with the increasing number of them😅😅.
Good evening, pyonpyon 😃.
Is that yeast from the gutsy flower 🌼😳It looks like there is delicacy in the strength 😌.
Kintsugi sounds like something I could get into too 😄.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your continued support ❤It's a raw sake with 15% alcohol, so it has a gentle alcohol taste. According to the owner of Kakitan, he aimed for "a well-balanced sake that everyone likes" 🎵Let's get stuck in with Kintsugi too 😁💨.
Good morning pyonpyon 🐥.
Original store 😳The bottles and labels are stylish💕I thought I've heard of Abelia, but it's that flower! It's great ✨, it's resistant to exhaust fumes and tastes great with alcohol.
Pon-chan, good evening😃The owner of the sake bar I often go to is a former toji of a major sake maker, and he wanted to make his own original sake so he borrowed one of Ibaraki Sake Brewery's tanks 🍶It was even more delicious when I heard about it 😋.
Hello, pyonpyon!
What is your original bottle of "Rairaku Abelia Yeast"?
I got the regular version from bouken last time and it is one of the most memorable bottles of the year so I would love to try it 😁.
Gyve, good evening 😃🌃Kakitan and Ibaraki Sake Brewery have been collaborating on events for a long time, so they were able to borrow one of our tanks this time 😁If you come to Kobe, please visit us in Hanshin Ashiya 👍.
Good evening, pyonpyon. ⭐︎
I believe this restaurant used to be a snack bar 💡.
I was just reading the "Amakara Notebook" when I came across it and thought I'd like to go there 👍.
Maybe I'll go there before my vacation 🚈.
Yoohee-san, that's right ❗It's a restaurant that is a snack bar and the atmosphere looks like it might serve Western sake, but it only serves Japanese sake 😁💨💨There is no menu, you just stop by and ask for the recommendation of the day 👍We have a wide range of rare sake ❗
Leaving the Tatsuriki Shop
Kokoromi, a standing bar in front of Himeji Station that offers a considerable selection of sake from Hyogo Prefecture.
I went there as soon as I could.
Mr. Bouken recommended us to try some of their sake 😁.
First, Rairakuto Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake!
It has a sense of effervescence.
Nice acidity and sweetness 🥰.
Sengoku? Sentori? It seems to be close to 🤔.
They had quite a few kinds of Rairaku alone, I'd like to try another one 😁.
Good evening, TOMO 🦉.
I hope you enjoyed Himeji 😆🎶.
Rairaku, flower yeast and the standard are also delicious, so if you can find them again, please do!
Good evening, Pon-chan: 🌕️
Still enjoying Himeji until tomorrow night 🍶.
I'm having a lot of fun but also giddy with all the sake I won't encounter in Kumamoto 🤣.
Buy Abelia and also this one
100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol 16%.
Melon-like aroma, chili freshness
Melon-like fruity flavor.
Soft sweetness, umami, bitterness and spiciness, with a nice aftertaste.
On the second day, more melon!
Less sweetness and freshness, more umami and a strong taste.
The bitterness is softer and the aftertaste is better than yesterday.
4th and 5th day, the gassiness has subsided, but the taste is almost the same.
The brewer of Okada Honke in Kakogawa is a classmate of the brewer at Tokyo University of Agriculture, and they made this wine using Gohyakumangoku from the same Hyogo Prefecture.
Okada Honke's Morinori version has a yellow label with pink letters.
I wish I could have compared the two!
Hi, Pon-chan.
Interesting that two breweries of the same class are brewing with the same concept ✨.
I'm excited to see your post and the various challenges the brewery is taking on 🎵.
I'm intrigued because I feel like this is a well-balanced sake that I would like 😊.
Hello Pon-chan ^_^
Rairaku is a sake I have never seen before.
Abelia looks good, but this one looks good too✨.
I wonder if it is my wife's favorite? I think...which was your favorite flavor?
Hi Pon. 😊
The image of sake making was sacred and
I thought the image of sake brewing seemed to be sacred and frequent,
but there are many ways to make sake, such as women as toji (master brewers)
or different types of rice are used to make sake.
I think it's a good thing. The number of young presidents has also increased 😂.
Hi Pon 😀
Ibaraki Sake Brewery is one of the breweries I plan to visit sometime in my walking tour of breweries😇.
I really want to visit them soon 😀.
I haven't tasted Ibaraki Shuzo yet, so I'm looking forward to it😇.
Ponchan, good evening 🌃
Both are delicious sake 😋.
Rairaku, I think it tastes as good as the national sake 😊Kurafuto only wholesales to liquor stores that carry both Rairaku and Morinori 🤔.
Hello!
It is interesting to hear that we are classmates and that the sake is brewed with the same Hyogo Gohyakumangoku. I would love to compare the drinks 🤤 but only a limited number of liquor stores carry it. I like it...
Hi, ma-ki-chan 🐦.
I thought it was wonderful that you and your classmates cooperate and inspire each other to make good things... ✨
Asano Sake Shop is having a fair for these two breweries this week and it looks like you can drink both of them. I would love to try them 😁.
Hi Manta 🐦.
I took the opportunity to visit this brand because you don't see it even in Shiga Kyoto 😊It was hot and I preferred the refreshing Kurafuto, but now it could be the sweet Abelia 😁.
I wonder if Manta and his wife are also Kurafuto 🤔.
Hi, Hanapin 🐦.
Yes, it is true! I feel my age as more and more brewers and toji are young 😂I'm glad to see you taking on various challenges 💪I'll be drinking and cheering for a bright future 😆.
Hello Yasube, 🐦.
Kaorin and by all means 🎶It takes less than 10 minutes from Sanyo Uozumi 👣The lawn appears dawning in the residential area and it is very pleasant 🌿Please enjoy eating delicious food in the Uo no tana shopping street 😊.
Thank you bouken for all the information 😊🙏.
I went all the way to Akashi, but I didn't expect Asano-san's fair 🤣I hope you can at least drink it in Shiga Kyoto 🥺.
Hi Koizo 🐦.
I drank everything but the abelia, which reminded me of Banshu Ikken, so perhaps you would like it 🤔 If you ever come back here, please give it a try 😊.
Hi Ikka Iyasumi 🐦.
I didn't know about this project until I searched for it after I bought it 😂I didn't do enough research because I could have gotten the Morinori Ver. at a liquor store in Akashi 😅I wonder if I can go to the fair at Asano Sake Store 😅.
Rairaku, which I enjoyed drinking outside last year
On August 19, when I visited Akashi, I stopped by the brewery.
I tasted and bought it!
Sake brewed with Abelia flower yeast
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 16%.
Gorgeous unique aroma, is this from Abelia? 🤔
Pitchy and sweet 💕
Anyway, the sweetness comes!
And delicious and slightly pungent!
2nd to 4th day, sweetness settles down and very nice balance!
The spiciness is just right and delicious. ❣️
We tasted 3 kinds for 500 yen at the brewery!
They are about 60ml each, so you can taste them well 😆.
I drank the other ones I didn't buy,
Yamadanishiki Ginjo 50〉(D〈Rakuraku Yamadanishiki Ginjo 50〉)
Aroma is soft, flavor is soft, fresh and fruity.
Sweet and delicious with good balance and aftertaste.
Pon-chan, here too 😀.
It looks like you can sample quite a bit for 500 yen for 3 different kinds, so Kaorin and I can compare drinks together 😇.
I still have to visit soon 🤣.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I got "Rairaku Abelia Yeast" from bouken before and I liked it a lot 😋.
I see that the online sales have stopped, but the brewery still carries it ✨.
Good morning, Pon 😃!
The bright pink label😍when I enlarged the photo, it was an eye opener 😳I enjoyed it so much when I drank it outside, and after tasting it further, I'm sure it's one of the best bottles I've ever purchased👍Time changes can be enjoyed too 🤗.
Good morning, Pon, ☀️
Is it Abelia yeast? ❣️
Chokaizan in Akita also has flower yeast🌸 and abelia, but looking at the reviews 👀✨I think it might be a very similar sake 😋.
Yasbay, thanks for your help here 😊.
I heard that you can sample it for 800 yen if it's a good polish and for free if it's a little bit. Please try a lot with Kaorin🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦!
The classic Yakurafuto is similar to the refreshing melon🍈or muscat of Banshu Issen, so we think you two would like it too 🤔 If you come across it anywhere, please give it a try 😊.
Hi T.KISO 🐦.
I see that Chokaizan's Abelia is similar! I'd like to try it 😻I also found Okuizumo's Abelia and Amabuki's Nadeshiko easy to drink, so I think I might prefer flower yeast overall: ❣️
Gyve, sorry I'm late 💦🙇💦.
When I read your review, it looked delicious and I decided to sample Abelia 😁 I told them I prefer sweeter taste and the brewery recommended it to me... it has a rich aroma and taste: ❣️
