Purchased at the Kiku no Tsukasa Sake Brewery in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. When I am told that it is a limited product available only here, I buy it.
I was intrigued by the beautiful transparent bottle and the unusual label.
The waiter said it was sweet, but although it was light, it was not as sweet as I had imagined. It was delicious with a crisp aftertaste 😋.
I received it from a senior. It is indeed dry but has a clean aftertaste and is easy to drink. It is a limited edition, so I would like to enjoy it slowly.
Kiku no Tsukasa Junmai Sake Gin Ginga Brewing
The altar was cleaned, and a new paper decoration was made,
We offered the sake that we had prepared as the sacred wine,
We also enjoyed it with our family.
Koh... beautiful sake. Sake with a sharp taste.
I'm sure it's good hot-warmed, too.

✴︎ Favorite!
Founded in 1772, Iwate Prefecture's oldest sake brewery. Brewed with Iwate-grown rice, it has an elegant and gorgeous aroma and sweetness that gently spreads in the mouth! It has a rich flavor that can only be achieved with unblended sake, but it is refreshing and delicious. Refreshing, like carbonation? Refreshing? It has an aftertaste like eating a fruit. The aftertaste is like eating a piece of fruit, and there is little bitterness. It has an alcoholic taste, but it passes through the nose, and the spiciness is gentle! It is very good.
This Iwate sake was given to me by a kindergarten mom and her friend!
I got the impression that it was a clean, tight sake with a refreshing mouthfeel.
It was delicious!
Caution: The bottle was open! The cork flew to the ceiling with a pop and I was in a hurry, but I'm glad it didn't overflow! Slightly sweet and shwashy. A bit of bitterness later.
I like the picture of the sparkler.
