Shizuoka Prefecture
Junmai Sake
Polishing ratio 65
Alcohol 15%.
The aroma is light and tastes like persimmon on the palate.
The aftertaste is slightly bitter, and you will never get tired of drinking it.
The light sweetness complements spring vegetables well.

I went out to Shizuoka area in GW.
On the way back, we stopped in Numazu😄.
We decided to go to the port ⚓️ and eat some good food 😋.
As I was strolling around, thinking that I would like to drink Shizuoka sake 🍶 while having sushi 🍣, I found a restaurant with a big sign that said "Sushi". The menu is also posted at the entrance, which is both friendly and reassuring 😄.
So we entered the restaurant.
I ordered omakase nigiri with local fish and garyubai.
First, the sake 🍶.
It has a melon-like sweetness 🍈 with a delayed bitter taste. The mix of sweetness and bitterness gives it a deep flavor.
With sushi🍣.
The sweetness does not disappear completely, and a slight sweetness remains.
And it enhances the flavor of the fish🐟 and rice🌾. ⤴️
It was like the best match for the sake 🍶 with the gari.
I can't believe it matched so well with sushi 🍣, Shizuoka sake 🍶 indeed 🤗.
Hello, Hiro-san!
I'm rocked by the sushi and sake pairing 😍!
Sushi and sake are my favorite pairing, so I hope to have a glass of Garyubai with sushi one day 😋!
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌙
You've locked on to it 🤣.
I recommended it to a regular at my favorite bar and he said he was hooked 😆.
I think it's a definite combination 🍣🍶🤗.
Slightly yellowish color.
Lightness like a refreshing early summer breeze and the taste of water.
It has a crisp aftertaste that does not feel heavy, as if the flavor of the rice has been extracted to a good degree.
It was the kind of taste that one could drink without the entrée.
It was as if I was drinking white wine.
A little melon flavor with moderate acidity, bitterness and sharpness. A refreshingly delicious sake that is not overpowered by the dark aosa seaweed tofu.
Garyubai Junmai Ginjo Spring has come!
The refreshing acidity is like a white wine, and combined with the spring-like pink bottle, it is a delightful seasonal sake.
Spring-like looking bottles
High acidity, taste also reminiscent of spring.
The aroma is also creamy and sweet? So I like it because it is easy to drink
