No sweetness, strong sake taste.
It has little miscellaneous taste and can be drunk neatly.
It is out of my taste for fruity sake, but strangely enough, I never get tired of drinking it.
It is a sake that you can keep sipping on and sipping on, and I think it is also a sake that does not require a particular dish.
I would recommend this sake for those times when you want to enjoy sake and food in long sips, or when you want to drink sake in small sips while chatting with others.
Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival 8
The booth of Miyao Sake Brewery of Niigata Prefecture's SNAKEIHARIZURU. The image of Shibarihizuru is that of an authentic and delicious sake.
◉Sejibarikaku Ginjyo Nama-Shuzo
The fruity and fresh taste is reminiscent of Muscat and green apples. The sweetness is tightly controlled with a sharpness. It is firm but easy to drink.
◉Seribazuru Jun Junmai Ginjo
Jun, the signature product, has been on the market for over 50 years. I have had a bottle of it from someone from Niigata before I registered with Sake-no-wa, but that was a few years ago. The sake rice used is Gohyakumangoku and it is twice hiked. It has a gentle rice flavor.
◉Seribazuru Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki
The sake rice is Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It has a rich and robust umami aftertaste.
The brewery produces about 5,000 koku of sake, half of which is shipped within the prefecture. The rest is wholesaled directly to sake stores and department stores. He told us many stories about the Niigata Sake Festival and other events.
Niigata Prefecture is also home to young brewers who are producing a variety of flavors, and I heard that Niigata Prefecture can no longer be lumped together as a light, dry prefecture.
I wonder if the sake brewers' association is also finding it harder and harder to promote "light and dry" sake. Well, I guess "light and dry" is out of fashion now...
Nemuchi-san, Nekibarikazuru is my favorite sake too. I believe that the day will come when "light and dry" sake will be in the limelight again, since there are waves of popularity in the sake industry.
Good evening, Sashiu-san 😋Shimeharihazuru is delicious 😋Everything goes out of style, so I'm sure there will be another boom in light-bodied dry sake 😊I hope the culture of light-bodied dry sake flavor will be preserved and further developed ✨.
Aroma of freshly cut apples.
Fresh in the mouth. Fresh acidity.
Surprisingly soft but fresh texture.
Moderately light rice flavor.
Light and easy to drink.

Good on a hot day. Good with mussels.
Degree of liking ☆4/5
Drinking party with customers (1)
Four of us, who know each other one by one but are a combination for the first time, went to a restaurant for the first time.
Everyone (except myself 😂) is a big shot at their respective companies?
I had this appointment earlier and then a job in Gifu came up, so I worked in Gifu until late afternoon and rushed over 🚄.
This place seems to be mainly from Niigata and Sado Island.
Everyone drinks a lot of sake, and the seating is in a private room-like area in the back, so I gave up asking the waiter to bring me a bottle every time!
Plus, it was hard to take notes 😥.
After the beer, we drank the following
Hokusetsu
Midorikawa
Kirinzan Enrai
Seisen
This is the end of the all-you-can-drink course.
After that, there was no end to the conversation and we went on to order more 🤣.
Shigibari Tsuru Kin Label Daiginjo
This is fruity and delicious!
For the additional drinks that were not all-you-can-drink, the waiter brought us a bottle even if we didn't ask for it 🥳.
In a good sense, it is easy to drink, with a weak habit. It is easy to drink and has no special characteristics, but if I may say so, I feel that the spiciness of the sake shows up a little.
