It is easy to drink and refreshing for a one-cup sake. I used to avoid non-pure rice sake because of the brewer's alcohol taste, but this one is not that bad and is delicious. Good as a food sake.
The event was held at Tsushima Tsuru in the Metropolitan Morioka New Wing.
A party to drink a variety of sake brewed with sake rice produced by Mr. Sunakabe 😁.
Next up was Washinoo Unfiltered Nama Sake.
This is an unfiltered, raw sake made by grinding Ginga down to 50%.
It seems to be a seasonal product, and my wife thought it was delicious.
The label seemed to suggest that it was a solid junmai-type sake. It had a slightly rich, sweet flavor.
It has a sweet, slightly rich flavor, but that doesn't mean it is harsh.
By the way, the fourth picture is of Mr. Sunakabe.
The clear flavor and spiciness spreads in the mouth and passes. A pleasant feeling. A little amber in color. It was released in February 2025, 2023. It may have mellowed in the brewery.
I drank it last year and 19% alcohol by volume is a medium strength 🤼.
Let's start with the first sip. The aroma is fresh and crisp. It has a nice aroma with a hint of sweetness and acidity. It doesn't have the graininess of last year's.
The sweetness spreads in the mouth, and along with the umami, the moderate acidity and bitterness are pleasant. The high alcohol content gives it a rich and thick flavor.
I served it with BACHI Tuna and Akagai (salted red clams). The sweetness and umami of this sake was enhanced by the tuna. The salted akagai (red shellfish) also has the sweetness of sake, but it also gives it a crispy taste. Both are good👍.

Komacchan, happy new year 🌅.
I've never had akagaiyo shiokara (salted red clams) 😳‼️
It looks like it would go great with sake 😳
I'll put it on my list of things I want to try 🤣.
Manachie Happy New Year 🎇I had it for the first time 😳It's a popular handmade product at the fish shop I frequent ❗️ If you see it, try it 😁The crunchy texture goes well with sake ☺️
I put it in my son's room who works in Morioka.
I found this in my son's room.
He said it was a gift.
I took it home and opened the bottle.
Iwate Ginga Sake Rice
First, it's a cold sake, refreshing and mellow.
Perfect for a mid-meal drink!
Next, hot sake!
But since we're going to the trouble...
We used an iron kettle made by Iwate Iwastuji!
This is delicious!
The alcohol is gone.
It's so light!
It's like a different kind of sake!
It should be warmed up in this cold season!
I received some leftover sake from the owner of the place I go to 🍶.
This is something you have to go to the brewery to buy 😲.
It is richer and mellower than Dragon Eye, which is also made by Washio!
It tastes amazing! Free! Thank you 🙏!
Regular sake meeting with my boss 🍶.
At a familiar restaurant
Premium sake? I had to drink it 😄.
I guess this sake is named after a place called Hachimantai Dragon Eye 👀👀, located on the border between Iwate and Akita prefectures?
It is dry but has a slight sweetness and a refreshing sourness at the end! It's very easy to drink and I love the taste.
This is the first time I've had Washinoo!
