The trophies from our recent petit expedition 🍶✨.
I heard from a junior colleague in Fukushima that this is the best one~⤴️ and I happened to run into it at the brewery, so I got it without hesitation.
Light, refreshing, fruity🌸🍶✨.
Lactic acidic 🐮 with a slight 🍶✨.
Nice and crisp when swallowed 😊⤴️😊
Elegant taste 👑.
I enjoy it very much(^-^)/
Sake served at the dinner with President Trump on November 6, 2017. Junmai Daiginjo Yuri by Tsurunoe Shuzo.
It is made with Aizu-grown "Gohyakumangoku" rice suitable for sake brewing and uses Fukushima Prefecture yeast.
To be honest, the taste was not to my taste. For better or worse, it was not sake-like. I guess there are different tastes. I felt sourness and bitterness in the fruity taste like white grapes. Might go well with Western food.
Ingredients: 50% polished rice (Gohyakumangoku)
Yeast: F7-01 (Utsukushima dream yeast)
Sake meter rating: +5
Acidity: 1.4
Body temperature: 15-16 degrees Celsius
A bottle purchased on a trip. It is a local sake made of 100% Gohyakumangoku. I enjoyed it while eating tempura, and it was delicious! A refreshing and gentle sake. I love the taste.

It is a collaboration of a mother who is a sake brewing engineer and her daughter who majored in yeast science, and Yuri is her daughter's name. That episode alone is enough to make you want to drink it.
The first time I drank it was at the store, and my first impression was of a soft, feminine sake!
I happened to get one of the few arrivals this time. It is still a sake like a woman's tenderness. It has a faint sweet aroma like amazake, and when you put it in your mouth, the sourness and sweetness rise softly and then fade away nicely. It leaves a fruity taste like after eating strawberries.
The pale blue sake bottle is also beautiful. Everything is not overdone in a good way, it is a nice sake.
The gentle sweetness spreads and flows easily.
There was little cloying or alcoholic taste, and I found myself drinking it with pickles all the way up to 2 am.
For some reason, I often saw this sake at liquor stores in Nagasaki, even though it is from Fukushima.
Perhaps because it is made by a woman and her son, it comes in a box with a gentle design.
