Tanuki-san pioneered a Japanese-style izakaya nearby!
I was surprised to find that they have a surprisingly large selection of sake,
When in doubt, I went for the local Ibaraki sake, Raifuku, for the time being.
I had bought the same sake at home last month and drank it, so I knew how good it tasted, but it was fruity and delicious all over again.
Sake that I received and let sit for a year.
I drank it in a hurry.
I have enjoyed Raifuku twice as a fruit type sake, but this one is easy to drink but has a strong sake aftertaste.
The name is also nice.
Shizuku.
I feel it must have been made with great care.
Raifuku Concept Workers' Selection, Chilled and Delicious Series.
It is cute and sweet like Raifuku, but you can also feel the alcohol. Like the green apple Raifuku, it's not cute at all lol.

Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆
At a liquor store where I am indebted to you,
I'll give you 2,000 yen because it's a little old.
In return, no claims, no returns.
No returns." I jumped at the offer.
I jumped at the offer.
I jumped on it 😆 Since it was kept refrigerated, there was no quality problem and the taste was great 👍.
The taste was also great👍.
This store is very interesting sometimes 😁.

It's rare for Raifuku to come to a department store, and I've never had a regular type of sake, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to try some.
Junmai Hachitan-Nishiki
It seems to be a standard sake of the brewery.
It is not modern, but sweet.
It's nice that this is a standard sake.
Junmai Shunyo
4MP, just because it is made from Shunyo.
Muscat flavor, sweet and light.
Junmai Ginjo Aizan
Less sweet than the raw sake we have had in the past.
MELLOW Nama Sake
MELLOW Nama-zake is a pure sake of Kijo-zake.
It has a rich sweet taste. It's very thick. Delicious 😋.
Junmai Ginjo Raifuku X Kuro Nama Sake
Sake with undisclosed specs.
Not gory and sweet, but just right.
I've been wanting to try this one for quite some time 😋.
Junmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae
Very sweet, juicy, and super tasty!
After drinking it, you realize it's Aizan😅.
Chikusei City.
Purchased by weight at Daikichi Kura, a store attached to a sake brewery. So there is no label.
It has a nice aroma, a fresh feeling, and a refreshing sweetness. It has a good aftertaste, and the sweetness is properly perceived and delicious.
It is good as a mealtime sake, easy to match with light dishes.

Raifuku's booth.
◉Raifuku X [Black
A raw sake originally made only for restaurants. It has a sweet, dark, rich and slightly nutty complexity. I wasn't impressed with the X because the Wakamizu was so good before, but it's really good.
◉Betsuatsurai Junmai Daiginjo
29% polished Aizan. Aizan 29% polished Junmai Daiginjo. The water is so rich and delicious. The price of 6,600 yen for a bottle of Aizan, polished to such a high level, is unbeatable.
◉MELLOW
A sweet and very strong kijoshu, but not too rich. ◉MELLOW
◉Pear liqueur
A 6% alcohole, with a definite pear taste. It definitely has a hint of pear.
There was another 8% polished Hitanishiki for 15,000 yen, but as expected, there was no tasting, so no photos. Apparently it takes 5 days just to polish the rice. Apparently, they have many repeat customers. It seems to be a good luck charm because it is 8% polished rice, which means "coming good luck" and "the end of the world". The 92% polished rice is used to make rice powder, which is used to make sweets.
The president of the company will be here from Saturday, but I wonder if he will stay until the last day.
He will be here several times after this, but for now, let's move on to the next.
