Purchased at a roadside station in Ono. The sweetness spreads in the mouth with a hint of fruity acidity. It is easy to drink, with a refreshing aftertaste despite its richness. It is delicious! I would like to try the Imi as well.

I looked at Sugihara Shuzo's website and made a reservation for Shiboritate and was curious about this brand, so I ordered it 🥰. Even the 4th coaster in the picture came with the service ✨We will have a special honjozo sake from the smallest sake brewery in Japan🍶. The aroma is sweet but not fruity, with a hint of alcohol. It has a smooth mouthfeel, with a firm sweetness and acidity, and then it finishes with a refreshing kick. It is easy to drink 😋. On the second day, the taste remains the same. I thought it would also be delicious heated 😍 so I tried changing the temperature 🤔. Room temperature, the toromi becomes more pronounced. More umami than sweetness and a stronger sharpness ✨. When heated, the mouthfeel is cleaner, the sweetness is lighter, and the acidity is sharp and tasty. I just drank one type of Imi and a Honjozo and I got the impression that the sweetness was quite strong 🤔.

Good evening, ichiro18! Sugihara Sake Brewery is one of the top breweries I'd like to try ⤴️ I see that it says "the smallest sake brewery in Japan" 🤗. It's a good sake that can be heated up and enjoyed in a wide range of ways 😋.

禊萩(養殖)
This is the 38th sake brewery in Gifu Prefecture. This is one of the main brands of the Sugihara Sake Brewery in Ono-cho, Ibi-gun, which is famous for being the smallest sake brewery in Japan. It is sold at Tomikuya, the brewery's direct sales store, along with sakekasu (sake lees). It is also sold at a nearby roadside station in Ono-cho. The aroma is strawberry-like. It is filtered, but not excessively, so there is some lees floating on the surface. The palate has a weak acidity and the sweetness of the rice comes out well. It is a delicious sake with a long lingering aftertaste. Sugihara Shuzo is famous for its sake, but the brewery does not sell it, and there are only two stores in Gifu Prefecture that carry it, both by lottery, so getting it is a matter of luck. I would like to try it sometime.

This was followed by a special junmai sake. Compared to the special honjozo, it seems to have more sweetness and acidity... The bitterness at the end is unique to the special junmai. Personally, I prefer the special junmai? In any case, they were two delicious bottles.

みもみよ🐾
This is a comparison of a special honjozo and a special junmai sake. They are locally distributed sake. We started with the special honjozo... It is a refreshing, light, and very easy to drink sake. Although it is alkalo-sweetened, it is perfectly acceptable. It was delicious.

Tonight is a hot day, but I was working from home today, so I finished work and started my evening drinking time. I opened a bottle of this one, which had been sitting for about six months 💁. Ibigawa Tokubetsu Junmai Sake 2024BY✨ This is a special junmai sake from Sugihara Sake Brewery in Imi that is distributed within the prefecture. From the nose, the usual pineapple🍍 flamboyance is subdued but still a sweet bouquet. The overall taste is classic sake in the best sense of the word, but it's easy to drink with just a hint of tropicality in the attack and no sultriness 😋😋😋😋😋 It's like a sweet and tasty classic 😊😊.

On the first day, the taste was modern and classic, with a honey-like sweetness that asserted itself. The next day, the flavors are balanced and mixed together to create a delicious taste. For home drinking.

きまぐれ
unadulterated A refreshingly sweet, acidic, and dry taste. It is a wonder that it feels fresh even though it is fire-brewed. The sweetness is cut off by the strong aftertaste. The bitterness of the aftertaste is strong. Burnt taste. 87 points. Sweetness: 2.7 Sourness:3.6 Dryness:3 Hinted aroma:2.2

Tonight, we decided to enjoy a clear sake once in a while, so we opened a bottle of this one. Ibigawa Special Honjozo 2024BY ✨ Ibigawa is a brand of sake originally distributed in the prefecture by Sugihara Shuzo, famous for its Imi sake. From the standing aroma, there is a chemical cementiness, a weak pineapple tropicality, and a refreshing herbal crispness. ☺️ The taste has lost some of the sweetness and flavor of the Imi brand. It has a slightly aged, caramel-like richness and acidity, with a crisp, tight, aluzoe-like quality that I like a lot 😋😋😋😋. I'll try it later as it looks even better heated up to increase its fullness 🙌

Ibigawa I found on a business trip to Gifu Sugihara Sake Brewery's local sake from Imi (seems to be a small number, so I buy it when I find it, but alas, I never found Imi 😮‍💨) The last time I bought Ibigawa it was a special honjozo (delicious), so this time I went for the special junmai sake. Sweet, really delicious 😋😋. Soft sweetness, not too sweet, refreshing Feeling of rice sweetness A dangerous one that goes slooooowly. Slightly more sour than when I drank the honjozo before? But I can't really tell the difference between it and the honjozo unless I compare them at the same time 🤔. I'd like to try it next time when I have a chance!

First, a strong sweetness runs through the mouth. For those who prefer sweet sake... this is a highly recommended sake.

The addition of high quality brewing alcohol adds sharpness to the sweetness and brings out a nice melt-in-your-mouth accent.

A while ago, when I went on a business trip to Gifu, I suddenly stopped by a kind of product exhibition. There, I found Ibigawa Sugihara Sake Brewery's sake from Imi. I don't often see Imi sake, but I wondered if they sell a lot of it. But it seems to be a small brewery, so maybe there aren't that many on the market? I thought about it and bought some anyway (I still don't know if it's easy to buy or hard to buy). One sip and..., This feeling, delicious 😋! I'm glad I bought it 🎉! I'm sure it's the same for Imi too (maybe? I'm sure...?) I can feel the sweetness of the rice, but it's not too sweet, it's a beautiful sake! Oh yeah, no sourness, Is that why? Like you can feel the taste of rice? But, this is a honjozo: al-soju? ..., does it taste that much like rice? A different taste? But rice? Well, whatever, it tastes good.
