A sake to be drunk in summer. As you can see, it tastes great when it's crispy and tepid. The alcohol content is 14%, and I drank it in no time at all.

The 16th sake we chose for the Yokohama Sake Festival was a light nigori sake from Chiba Prefecture🤗.
It tasted like lactic acidic yogurt and had a tingling and stimulating taste on the tongue.
Personally, I didn't like the taste, so I gave it 3 stars 😅.

This is the second sake I purchased from the Chiba Sake Brewers Association, and this one was actually the exact same one I bought last year, but after drinking the sparkling one the other day, I had a hankering for a regular Narumi again, so it was a choice I had to make. I should have come here for the undrinkable Chiba sake...
As I expected, the unique sourness and the refreshing taste with a moderate sweetness are as good as ever. It is suitable for hot days. I didn't feel much gasiness. I will buy another spec next time 😌.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
I would have preferred something with specs I've never had before, but I went to buy it thinking, "I want to drink Narumi," so that was my first intention 😎.

On Saturday, we went to Machinuka in Nanao for a bowl of Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd soup but it was closed for some reason😭.
We decided to go to a nearby restaurant, Harureruya, for the Kaisen-don set meal 🍣.
After that, we stopped by Mizukami-san and thought about having Yamasan, Daisetsukei, and another bottle of Koshi Roadster, but there were 4 kinds of sake next to them that we didn't see. I asked the owner about a brewery in Katsuura that has a distinctive acidity. I decided to go for the schwashy type.
Opening the bottle was difficult. I opened and closed the bottle 20 times😅Now it is finally opened.
It's a schwashy, low alcohol. Perfect for a hot day!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
So many different unique and innovative drinks are showing up near the big market in the metropolitan area!
I learned a lot 📚😅.
I bought it at a liquor store that I visited on a whim to try a liquor store I had never been to before. I didn't see many trendy brands, but I picked up a bottle of Narumi, thinking that it would be rather interesting to try many things at such a place. I will revisit after learning more 😌.
It is low at 11 degrees and has a sourness that is typical of Narumi while still being shrieky. This is no good, I am bound to drink too much of this stuff. I missed Kuwagata, but there is Narumi in Chiba, so there was no problem. This one is also a sake brewed with sake yeast and yeast yeast.
Hi Jay & Nobby!
It's fun to go to a place you don't know 😊Not all sake shops are good, but so far I've been lucky enough not to have a bad impression of most of them...
The acidity of Narumi is also great, Chiba sake is the best ✨.
Yogurt type, slightly effervescent
A little stinky on the palate, but delicious when you drink it.
→The next day, the smell disappears and it's really good!
The hot days ☀️☀️ continue, and the choices are more and more schwashy!
This one was one of the few left, so I snagged it!

Fresh grapefruit juice
I want to emphasize that it is "raw" this time
Siyuwawa~!
The bitter taste peculiar to grapefruit is exactly as it is!
I didn't know that koji could make it this good 🙇🙇🙇.
It's not very sweet, but it doesn't have a pungent taste either!
I couldn't keep it until the next day 🥲.
It was delicious 😋😋😋.
Thanks for the food 🎶🎶.
Higashinada Shuzo is a sake brewery near the sea in Katsuura, Minami-Boso. It is quite a long-established brewery, having been founded in the Keio period. They also have a brand name, Bonito Masamune, named after the famous product of Katsuura Port.
It was too hot, so I went out to Katsuura, which is known for its cool sea breeze, and bought a bottle. It is called "Narumi" and reads "Naruka". As I was warned when I bought it, "It will spew! I was warned when I bought it that it would spew!" It is a second fermentation, fizzy nigori sake. It is a summer sake with a slightly dry taste, but its beautiful acidity and bitterness, like grapefruit, give it a refreshing impression. It is considered to be a cold sake only.
The third picture is the shining sea of Katsuura.

Good evening, Mr. Ji😃.
This hot summer ☀️ makes me want the sour taste of Narumi 😙The sea of Katsuura is beautiful in these pictures 😌we live in a prefecture without sea, so I want to see the sea 🥹.
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby! Katsuura is indeed a nice place, a bit cooler and the famous Katsuura tantanmen is delicious. It's a bit far though...
Trusted by Chiba Sake, Omachi, and Direct Bottling, you can't go wrong...!
The label is full of value... 7/10
The label is full of value, but I don't approve of the "sea" being read as "ka", as in the naming of children these days...
Ki ... 17/20
The hue is a light yellowish-brown, and the smell has the richness of Omachi. The combo of juicy Oumachi texture on the tongue and the numbing sensation from the acidity is just as I expected.
Sei... 17/20
The smooth sweetness is felt on the tongue, and the sublimated smell of Oumachi is already rising. The flavor has more bitterness, but it's all taken away by the Oumachi aroma.
Rolling... 14/20
The sublimation smell remains with a strong Alc burn, but the sweetness and umami do not persist.
Yui ... 14/20
The sublimation smell is only Alc, and although the burning and cagey feeling is good, the Oumachi feeling has become a thing of the past.
COSPA... 6/10
Purchased at 1,980 yen. satisfying, but needs a push.
First impression is important.

Alcohol content: 11
Akita Sake Komachi

It is a nigori (cloudy) sake with a strong carbonation.
The taste is fruity and sweet, but the acidity is predominant, as is the case with No. 6 yeast.
The low alcohol content makes it perfect for a toast.
