When the bottle is opened, it has a gassy and fruity taste with a firm flavor. A fruity sake with a gaseous taste and a firm flavor.
The beautifully colored label is a limited edition spring sake 😆 perfect for this season when the cherry blossoms have fallen and the leaves have appeared.
We enjoyed it very much this year too 😋.

A sake that caught my eye.
I picked up a brand I don't usually buy😊.
〜From the description of the brewery
In the Showa period (1926-1989), the "short-stalked boat" was on the verge of extinction due to the difficulty of cultivation, but in 1989, the brewery worked hard to restore it when they came across a mere 14g of seeds left at the Biological Resources Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Ibaraki Prefecture. Together with local farmers, they succeeded in the first revival of cultivation at the foot of Mt.
Hoho🤔
After opening the bottle, the aroma is not particularly assertive.
When you put it in your mouth, the taste is hard to describe 🤩.
It is completely different from Muscat, white peach, nutty, etc.
In a word, "delicate", mild taste, fruity but I don't know what it is 🤔 my vocabulary is not good enough... 😅It was quite tasty...
Yum!

My daughter complained of itching all over her body and pimple-like spots all over her body... I took her to the dermatologist and she got chicken pox😱 even though she had been vaccinated twice... 😅My wife and I have had it so we're fine, but I hope I don't pass it on to my younger daughter💦.
Hi Kojo 😃
You had a rare sake adventure ‼️ delicate taste🤤 Delicate taste is hard to describe, I know 😆.
Your daughter has chicken pox 💦 poor thing 😭I hope it doesn't spread to your son. I hope he gets well soon✨
Hi Kozo 🐦.
I see that the sake is named after the rice as its brand name 😳that's interesting 😉.
I'm sorry your chickenpox is itchy and painful 😰I hope you get well soon 🙏 I hope the vaccine works for your younger children 🙏.
Hello, Koizo 😃
Kochira Watership! We had it about a year ago too 😋 It said "fresh and fruity, sweet but with depth of flavor" 👍 Hope your daughter's symptoms are mild with the VX 😌.

Hi... like J&N, I'm trying to get my hands on a little bit of alcohol that I've never had before😅.
My daughter was awake when I got home last night so I think she is on the mend😊Thank you♪

Hello 😅I thought 🤔 how about using the name of the seed rice as the sake name, but the label and the characters match, so I thought it's ok 🤣My daughter is on the mend! Thank you very much!

Hello ♪ ♪
I read your post about the ferry! I think you two might be the best way to describe it 😅I hope I don't have to force an analogy to get the point across 🤣.
My personal favorite brand of sake from Ibaraki!
A great bottle of Omachi without the added water of "Short-stalked Watabune", which is a revived version of a representative sake rice from the Meiji and Taisho Eras!
It has a fresh, melon-like fruitiness and a mild, yet moist and elegant flavor.
I personally thought it was a wonderful junmai ginjo sake with the clarity of a white wine!
It also feels a bit wine-like.
It is sweet and full of flavor.
I like the passionate story of how they revived the almost extinct sake rice and made it.
lukewarm rice
Good and sweet!
Suddenly juicy and juicy like a fresh sake.
Sinkable juiciness and
The freshness and richness of nama-zake,
It's got a certain hook.
I didn't realize that this is the second bottle of this sake this year!
