Here is the first bottle of sake that was repaired from the brewery that was damaged by the earthquake and resumed sake production.
It was one of the three most elegant and delicious sake I have had this year. I will support a sake brewery that offers such delicious sake!
Again, a white chrysanthemum from Okunoto.
This is Noto's Natsuyasumi's
extra edition.
After drinking the last Blue Sea label
I am too anxious to get the extra edition too 🤭.
The last label was blue sea.
The extra edition is an evening view🌅.
Both have a lovely view of the beautiful sea that reflects the look of the sky at that time of day.
It will be served chilled.
Almost crystalline in color.
The top aroma is of fresh blue bananas.
From the gentle mouthfeel, fresh banana aroma with a slight rummy taste spreads pleasantly, and the full flavor of gentle sweetness flows gently through the palate. The last taste finishes with a gentle bitterness.
The taste reminds one of a summer moment when the heat gradually eases and the evening scene quietly fades away.
Personally, I prefer the extravaganza.
But, the best thing is that we can compare the Shirafuji Sake Brewery!
Happy Natsuyasumi🌻.
Good morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Drunken comparison of Shirafuji Sake Brewery's revived brews.
Both the name of the sake and the label design exude love for Noto: ☺️
Makes me want to drink Shirafuji Brewery's sake again too 😊.
Good evening, Masaaki Sapporo. The beautiful view of the sea on the label is very eye-catching 😊I hope you come across the extravaganza and the upcoming white chrysanthemum in Okunoto!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. I was so happy to get the extra edition of Shirakiku from Okunonoto, which I found at the Kokunisake Fair, and I was so happy to be able to compare the labels 😊They are just beautiful 💕.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san. Yes, it is! Once I found out about the extra edition, I was so so excited and ended up getting it 🤭, but I'm still glad I did 💕.
Good evening, Aladdin. The beauty of the sea of Noto on the label is enhanced when the two bottles are side by side. Considering the effort it took to send the sake out with a label that offers a view of the calm sea, I would like to enjoy it more carefully 😌.
Hi Hirupeko 😃It's a very nice drink comparison 😊and the labels of both side by side show the beauty of the sea of Noto even more 💕👍Both look delicious, but I was especially interested in the extras😍.
National Sake Fair 2025 (5)
National Sake Fair held in Osaka in conjunction with the Expo
This is the last one.
The last one is Shirakiku from Okunonoto.
It is called "Noto no Natsuyasumi.
The label is also nice and reminds us of the sea of Noto.
This is the first sake after the resumption of brewing in Noto in March this year.
It is served chilled.
It has a slight yellow hue.
The nose has a rich aroma of honeysuckle, chervil, melon, and cream.
From the gentle mouthfeel, from the soft and fresh floral intro, the richness of sweet and umami taste is smooth, and the sourness like butter candy is firmly felt. In the latter half, the bitterness gradually appears and the finish is slow and lingering.
The way the richness of sweetness and umami comes out may be a little unbalanced, but it is still delicious and keeps you coming back for more 😊.
Is there a version of Ishikawa Sake No. 68, newly developed in Ishikawa Prefecture? Is the extra version, Yuyake, more on the dry side?
I tasted a whole range of Noto sake at the National Sake Fair, and I still love Okunonoto's Shirakiku. I was so happy I took it home immediately😊.
Finishing up with everyone who went to the Kokunisake Fair 📷✨.
Good evening, Peco 🦉.
I can tell from the photos that you had a lot of fun👍and I want to drink this sake! It's a taste of Okunoto after all ✨The sake cups are beautiful with matching labels too ❣️
Hi, Pon. I can imagine how hard it must have been for you to go back to Noto and restart brewing again. I had the sake cup made of Noto indigo, thinking of Noto 😊Pon-chan, I hope you will too!
Hi, Hirupeko 😃.
Okunoto! It's a nice, calming label 😌 something to think about, it's great that you arrived at this peaceful blue color 🥹.
I would love to drink it 😊.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. The label of the calm sea is lovely, but I think it's only because of your efforts to restore the calm (maybe not yet). I also got the extra sunset and will upload it later 😊.
I bought it because I thought the atmosphere of the label and the name "Natsuyasumi" sounded like a nostalgic game called Boku no Natsuyasumi (Boku no Natsuyasumi) 🏖️
This is the first sake brewed at the brewery after the earthquake.
The taste is calm and quiet, but it has a refreshing sweetness and beautiful acidity.
I'm glad to be able to drink it again 🤗.
Good morning, Termat 😀
Boku Natsu's relaxed world makes me want to be healed 😌 We may still have a long way to go, but we are making progress towards recovery by being able to make sake in the brewery 😊.
It's been a while since I've been to the night market 😁I enjoyed the local beer, so I'll be back for 3 straight ⚾️ and today I'll have some sake from here 🍶.
😋.
Let's start with the standing aroma. I feel a refreshing sweetness that tickles my nostrils. In the mouth, there is a strong sweetness and umami from the rice, and a smooth mouthfeel while retaining the sake-like acidity, with a slight refreshing bitterness at the end.
Serve with sashimi (🐟). It goes well with all seafood 😁The strong rice sweetness and umami of this sake gently envelopes the sashimi. It goes well with everything ❤️👍

It's been a while since I've had a local sake from Noto.
This is my first time to drink Okunoto's Shirakiku, but it was gentle and kind, a good bottle for a mealtime drink. It was delicious 🍶.
I would love to travel to Noto someday 😌.
