This sake was purchased while traveling in Hyogo Prefecture.
It has an excellent balance of sweetness, spiciness, acidity, bitterness, and effervescence.
I especially like the fizziness.
If the fizziness is strong, it will disappear after 4-5 days of drinking a bottle, and it will lose its taste, but this is very good because the fizziness does not change until the bottle is finished.
And the cosmetics are not bad.
I found a good sake.
Sake that has been bottled freshly pressed from the top of the tank from midnight on the first day of the year! I'm glad I got to drink it 🌅.
Freshly pressed and bubbly!
Sweet and delicious!
I think I'm going to get addicted to the seared cod roe🤔.
Happy New Year 🌄.
Please bear with me and my jive ramblings this year 🤣.
Well, after taking a nap after a successful night shift on New Year's Eve, I started [drinking] ❗️
I opened a bottle of Jive 2024, the most impressive bottle from the previous year 🍶.
Rairaku Junmai Ginjo Abelia Yeast Nama Sake.
Sweet floral aroma like nectar filled the air from the moment the bottle was opened.
[The sake has a gentle and gorgeous aroma of rice.]
The calm and gorgeous aroma of rice, the sweet flavor reminiscent of floral honey, and the lingering aftertaste that leaves you with a sigh of relief, and the bitterness that lingers in the mouth at the end.
[Mokkiri.]
The same calm, sweet aroma of rice, a sense of gas that you don't notice until you concentrate on drinking, soft sweetness and umami, a pleasant lingering finish, and a hint of bitterness in the soft finish.
A cup that relaxes you as you drink more and more of it.
From my past experience, I have found that when I drink a wine that I liked once and then drink it again, I sometimes feel that the taste is not quite the same. In the past, I have found that when I drink a bottle that I liked once and then drink it again, I sometimes find the taste strange, but this "Rairaku" is one that I like even more the second time around ✨.
Thank you bouken for introducing me to this sake 🙇.
We went all out for the New Year's dish and served it with tuna fatty tuna from Wakayama Prefecture.
P.S. One of the style of the evening drink before opening the 4th "Rairaku": 📹️
[Akahoshi, Potato Salad and Document 72 Hours are a must ✨.
Enjoy the review and envision drinking this before sake again this year 🤣.
Happy New Year, Mr. Gyves 🎍.
Thank you for choosing Rairaku as your first drink of the new year 🙏.
I think I need to drink it again 😁.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Mr. Jaive
Happy New Year ^_^
The label looks nice and relaxed ✨
I'm very interested in this sake and would like to try it: ☺️
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇🙇.
Happy New Year, Gyve 🎍Sake you'll love even more the second time around 🍶It's appropriate for the New Year: ☺️
I'm looking forward to another year of tsukimi sakes and reviews of the different tastes of different sake vessels 🥳New Year's greetings to you ✨.
Happy New Year to you, Gyve 🎉 Happy New Year to you and your delicious drinks 😆 I wish you a happy and healthy year 👍 I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Happy New Year to you, Jive 🎍 and best wishes for the new year 🙇.
Abelia is delicious! The label is red and fits perfectly ❣️
I didn't think of Document 72 hours 🤣I love potato salad and it's an eternal challenge 😁.
Happy New Year 🎍✨Thanks for the New Year 🙏I would love to visit Lailaku's Abelia yeast that good 😋 I would love to visit Lailaku! And you can't go wrong with a good potato salad drinker 😆.
Hi ma-ki-san!
I drink beer to quench my thirst before drinking sake, but Akahoshi is still my favorite 🥰.
I keep a case of large bottles so I can drink it at home 🤣.
I'm going to be promoting "Rairaku" from now on ✨
Hello bouken!
Thank you for the "rairaku" 🙇.
I didn't think I would like it even more after drinking it twice 😁.
I'm wondering if I should put it in the Sake no Wa Hall of Fame 🤣.
Happy New Year to you, Uchi~'s super~rippa🌄!
There are still a lot of sake that I don't know about, so I'm looking forward to trying many more this year 😁.
I look forward to working with you this year ✨
Happy New Year, Pon 🌄.
I really like "Rairaku Abelia" but the problem is that it's hard to get it 😅.
I wish they would bring back mail order ✨
I usually have potato salad and beer ✨ even when I'm at the 0th party.
Happy New Year, Mr. Jive 🌅.
Rairaku! It's been put into my head 👍and when I look at your photos with that in mind, they become more and more attractive😍We can't wait to drink our first bottle of the new year 😚.
Thank you again for your support this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Happy New Year, Jay & Nobby 🌄.
I'm going to go on record and say that my favorite flavor is Rairaku Abelia 😁🤣.
Looking forward to seeing what you and Jay will be drinking for your first bottle of sake✨.
Happy New Year, Maechen 🌄.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
I'll be posting a lot of things through trial and error✨
I have a few things I'm thinking about and will publish them soon🤣.
Mr. Jive Happy New Year! Last year was a tough start to the year in Hokuriku, but I hope this year will be a peaceful one. I received Bunraku last year and it was a home-run class. It is very good, isn't it?
Happy New Year, Jive 🎍.
I look forward to working with you this year as well🙇♂️
I tried to get sake with potato salad at a New Year's party because of Gyve's influence ‼️ I got hooked 🥹.
Hello, Mr.urchin.
Looking back, I feel that the earthquake led to the flurry of 2024 😅.
I hope this year will be a year of peace and quiet✨
I'm going to stock up while they have it 🤣.
Happy New Year, Mr. Muro 🌄.
I look forward to working with you again this year ✨
I think potato salad is a versatile drink accompaniment, and I'm happy to find a good restaurant when I go out drinking 🤣.
[I'd love it if they had a bottle of Akahoshi on tap!
🐶
Akashi sake.
I tasted it and liked it the best, so I bought it.
It's a dark sake and even better than the regular sake, but with this sake, regular grilled eggplant and manganji peppers tasted so much better.
I want to go back to Ibaraki Sake Brewery! 😂
Wan Wan 🐶Good evening 🦉.
Rairaku is delicious 😻I didn't taste this label 🥹Did it taste good 😢I want to go back to this brewery, the store is lovely and the people are kind 😁 and I want to buy this sake and pair it with something else 😁.
Pon, hello 🐶.
Really, everyone was so cheerful and kind, and the amount of tastings (lol) I can't make it this year, but I definitely want to go next year!
Pon-chan's review was helpful and accurate as always 😂.
