Imanishi Shuzo's "Mimuro Sugi Wooden Oke Bodhi Hashiwado In-house Tada Yamada Nishiki".
Imanishi, the 14th generation brewer of Imanishi Sake Brewery, whose philosophy is "Culture✕ History✕ Soil✕ Handicraft", has brewed by his own hands a superb product, "Mimuro-Sugi Wooden Oke Bodeshi Hashiwado In-house Yamada Nishiki".
The brewer himself works in his own rice field, a ten-minute walk from the brewery, and brews this sake with Miwa-san Yamadanishiki rice grown in the same vein as Mimuro-sugi's brewing water, Miwa-san's subsoil water from Mount Miwa.
The rice is harvested to make sake, and the resulting sake lees are returned to the rice paddies as fertilizer to grow rice.
The energy of the earth in Miwa, Nara Prefecture, is concentrated in the wooden bucket Bodaiyuan.
The upper aroma is that of banana.
In the mouth, the multi-layered yet beautiful umami, the cool aroma derived from the wooden vat, and the clothed miscellaneous flavors slowly cover the premises.
The aftertaste is fine yet powerful, with a long aftertaste produced by the acidity and big presence of umami.

Crab Sashimi✨
Today we invited my parents for a crab party 🥳 After enjoying sake and crab sashimi, we enjoyed snow crab and king crab in crab shabu 💖.
Both my father and mother love crab, so it was a pleasure to see them happily eating it with their daughters 😊✨.

Yes, the Kanji characters for "Sanmorosugi"!
This one is a what a Honjozo! It says brewing alcohol on the label~!
Is it rare? This is the first time I've ever tasted Alcoholic Mimorosugi.
They say it's a "long-selling product for 30 years."
No, no, 30 years is not unusual~!
Slightly effervescent. It is very tasty. It's not too sweet, it's more like a cider that's a little bit more subdued~.
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 13%.
The raw material rice is "Rohafu" produced in Nara prefecture.
The rice is "Rohafu" produced in Nara Prefecture, but the sake is bottled after being mixed with the strained oli from the unrefined sake made with Yamadanishiki.
The first freshly pressed sake of the season!
A soft and fruity aroma.
Beautiful orizumi flavor.
Milky sweetness with a sharp aftertaste!
It's so delicious!
I really love Mimuro cedar. ❤️
Unstoppable deliciousness!
I should have bought another bottle...
This time we will be drinking Mimuro Sugi's "Romain Series Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki, Once-Hikiri".
This is Mimuro Sugi's royal road, and it tastes exactly like it should. The aroma is fruity. From the first sip, a full but refreshing sweetness runs through your mouth.
No wonder it is so popular.
Mimuro Sugi is one of my favorite brands. This is the first time I have had a light nigori. The top aroma is modest, but the taste in the mouth is delicious, with a sweetness like that of ramune. It is full of gas and has a pleasant aftertaste that cuts through quickly. It is also delicious 😋.
Mimuro Sugi 35 Dedicated to Katsuhi Takahashi's life.
At a friend's house, compared with Shinsei Colors Ash (Suiboku).
This bottle is dedicated to Katsunichimei Takahashi, a sake brewing god enshrined in the Miwa area and said to be the oldest living toji (master brewer). The result is a masterpiece that lives up to its narrative.
Even before pouring it into a glass, the floral aroma that rises to the surface is simply wonderful. The taste is very gorgeous and gorgeous, with a rich and impressive spread of sweet and sour tones.
In contrast, the Ash has a more minimalist and refined expression, with a delicate acidity and a meticulous bubbly feel that is typical of the Colors series.
It was a good comparison of two modern sakes that clearly showed the difference in direction.
