Kimimandai Junmai
70% 15% 720ml 1166 yen
We visited a small brewery in Toride City, Ibaraki Prefecture. The name of Tanaka Shuzo's representative brand "Kimimandai" was named by Emperor Meiji.
We also purchased a summer sake, which was even better than expected. This time it was a fire-brewed junmai.
The first sip.
There was a gentle acidity. It is not a fruity acid, but a little bit like a myrin-like mass. It has a dry and dry taste with a chili chili texture on the tongue.
It is not too sweet and is suitable for eating. It does not interfere with food and can be tasted easily. A sake with a Japanese flavor reminiscent of soy sauce and dashi (Japanese soup stock). It has a blend of nostalgia and gentleness, perhaps because it is a sake brewery run by a couple.
The low price is also good.
The name of the brewery is "Kimibandai," but I like to call it "Kimiman" when I abbreviate it.
By the way, Ibaraki is famous for natto (fermented soybeans), so they are worried about not being able to eat natto during the sake brewing period.

Kimimandai Summer Sake Seishu Junmai Namaishu
15% 70%, 720ml, 1,320 yen
Purchased at a brewery in Toride City on the way back from a summer festival in Ibaraki.
It was a small brewery. The owner, who is a kind and gentle woman with a low profile, is very kind and welcoming.
On the label, there is a picture of a cat peeking out of the Masu.
The first sip of the bottle.
The freshness of the unpasteurized sake is strong. As the summer sake label suggests, it is refreshing and easy to drink. The alcohol content is the standard 15%, but it has a good mouthfeel.
The acidity is subtle and lingers on the palate.
It is a bit rude to say, but it is much tastier than I imagined it would be. However, most of the unpasteurized sake from unknown breweries is also delicious, so I would like to judge it in combination with the hi-ire sake I buy from this brewery.

I️ hit this place after work.
Ibaraki Jizake Bar 😆
Well, unlike before, it's easy to drink and they have a great variety of sake 😉 You can buy sake in the store and they are going to start serving proper food from November❗️.
For 1000 yen you can get a simple snack and 3 different kinds of drinks to compare 😳 Great 🥰.
If you have a chance to come to Mito, stop by 😉.
This is Toride sake, I've been wanting to try it for a while but they always only have the expensive ones so I've been passing on it 🤣.
The aroma is like the sake.
I mean, it's hard to smell the aroma with this boar cup 😅.
The alcohol taste spreads in the mouth from the light mouthfeel, and the sweetness lingers softly and gently on the tongue.
Oh my, this is good 😳.
I personally like the lingering sweetness a lot 😋.
I'll have to buy it next time I see it 🙌
Good evening, Mr. Manachy😄.
Thank you for the quick crash interview. I don't know all the brands 😳I wonder if I'll get a chance to go to Mito 🤔 but I'd love to visit the amusement park for drinkers🤣.
Manachie, thanks for the crash report...
Looks like a nice restaurant ✨😊.
So you can enjoy Ibaraki sake there 😆.
I'm looking forward to meeting some good local sake 😊 ♫
Good morning, good morning ☀It was pretty good 😋you can drink a variety of drinks for 300 yen per cup 😍They also sell a large amount of cups of sake so you can stand and drink cheaply and it's pretty good 🥰.
Hi Manachie ☀️
Ibaraki Jizake bar sounds fun 😍 I don't often get a chance to go to Mito but it would be nice to visit Kairakuen during the plum season 😊 Kairakuen 🌸😆 while going to Jizake bar 😆 Usually the other way around? 🤣
Hi Yu🎶, 😃Please come and see us in February 🤣👍We have stopped the Umeshu tasting at Corona for about 3 years 😆 You can drink about 70 different kinds of Umeshu for 1500 yen 😍.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy! I'm so glad to see you here 😄.
When I was in Tokyo, I went to Hitachi for work without going to Mito! It was by car, but it was so far away! 😱I would love to go straight to a local sake bar now 😆👍
Good evening, Manachie 😃.
My first place of employment was in Gozenyama village in Ibaraki prefecture and I remember going to the big city 🤭Mito for a drink once in a while 🥹 I'd like to visit Mito too after a long time 😊.
Good evening Jay & Nobby ❗️I often camp in that area ⛺️I'm sorry Jay & Nobby, the Ibaraki sake bar is in a rival prefecture, so I'll take you to an izakaya that only has Tsuchida 🤣🤣🤣 Gunma love 🫶.

Tanaka Sake Brewery
Toride City, Ibaraki Prefecture
I didn't have much of an impression of Toride City's sake, so I drank it.
It's a little sweet, but not too sweet.
It's a bit sweet and common sake.
I can understand why it doesn't leave an impression.
It has no aroma or sourness
There's nothing special about it, but
It's probably good for heating up for dinner.
At the sake shop
At the Mito Freshly-Squeezed New Sake Festival being held at the south exit of Mito Station, I had a taste of Kimimandai's new sake. This is the first time I've tasted a sake from a brewery in the prefecture.
