Purchased at Ikebukuro Tobu.
I had served Raifuku at my part time job and was curious about it because customers said it was delicious. I was also interested in it because it is from Ibaraki, the same city as Morishima, which I like.
Since this was the only type of Raifuku around 2,000 yen at Tobu, I bought it without hesitation.
As the name "Sweet" implies, it has a nice pineapple-like aroma, sourness, and sweetness. It is not too strong, so even though it is sweet, you can enjoy it without hesitation. It is delicious.
As you drink it, you can feel its thickness, but it is still sweet and sour while it is cold.
I heard that the brewery uses various kinds of flower yeast, and I am interested in their other sakes as well. As a Tokyoite who likes sake from the Kanto region, I would like to follow up with Morishima Shuzo and Raifuku Shuzo as well.
Raifuku is a club that wants to drink everything. Junmai Daiginjo made with Asahi from Okayama Prefecture. Tsurukame is kind of a New Year's celebration kind of sake, but isn't it early? LOL.
It has a hint of sweetness that is typical of Raifuku, but the aftertaste is quite robust.
Raifuku caught my attention at the liquor store where I met you. It smelled like lychee 7 times more than I imagined. 🏝️
It tastes sweet and has a refreshing acidity like white wine, so I was enjoying it with raw or sauteed white fish 🐟.
This is the wonder of sake made only from rice and rice malt... 🧙.
I thought the aroma was very fruity and delicious ❣️, but the taste was not so perfect.
Unlike the aroma, there was quite a bit of alcohol smell that escaped my nose, and it was not very juicy and subtle...
I looked at the label and saw that I used to live in
Chikusei City, where I used to live,
I also wondered what kind of super dry sake it was.
So I took it home with me.
It was the first time for me to drink "super dry" sake,
I was a little apprehensive, but it was totally fine 😅.
The aroma and sweetness were moderate, and the aftertaste was refreshing,
The food and sake were both delicious.
Thank you for the meal 😋.
