It has a ginjo aroma, and the mouthfeel is full of gassy, juicy, grape-like, rich flavors.
The finish is long and subtle with a refreshing wild grape and berry-like red acidity. ☺️
A deep yet refreshing sake 🍶.
Thank goodness it's available by weight ✨.
At the usual restaurant
The second cup is Watarifune by Fuchu Honor.
It was made in December 2024 and spent one summer.
It was made in December 2024 and spent one summer in Japan.
It was fresh and tasty. It was delicious 😆.
The snack was a confit of Akinatai fish.
This is a local sake, but this is the first time I have had it. The aroma was muscat and grape-like.
The taste is a combination of rich sweetness, light acidity, and a distinctive bitterness at the end.
I would like to try the other specs of this sake as well.
Trophies of Mt. Tsukuba Sightseeing♪ Hatsuwatatsune! The sake is carefully brewed with 55% rice polishing ratio of "Short-stalked boat", the aroma is faint...! The aroma is subtle.... The aroma is subtle...sweet and bitter...with a nice bitter aftertaste. Today, I'm enjoying it with some sashimi of Akinatai fish and raw sardines! It can be drunk as it is or as a food sake 👍This encounter is good...that's why I can't stop...
Good evening, Jay and Nobby.
The "Watanbune" is a delicious 😋 sake 🍶, isn't it? It was Strike's favorite sake. This year's Akinata fish is good in shape and price! It was so fatty and tasty 😋....
Junmai Ginjo Gojuugo Junmai Ginjo mash, aged at low temperature for a long time, carefully pressed and bottled before filtration. 100% Short-stalked ship (Ibaraki Prefecture) 1 glass
The aroma is good.
Taste is sweet, easy to drink and very tasty.
After all, expensive sake tastes good.
In Ishioka City, we went to the brewery after visiting the ruins of Fuchu Jinya and Kokufu and Soja Shrine.
We visited the brewery just before 3:30 pm.
There was a good atmosphere with some old-fashioned buildings.
This is a day for local sake in Ibaraki Prefecture🍶.
Made with 100% Ibaraki sake rice Watabune
It had a nice aroma and was medium-bodied? It was very delicious. ☺️
It is said to be a sake made by reviving an ancient sake rice called "Watarabune" that had ceased to be produced (see introduction article below).
As the article says, it was quite fruity and delicious. It was my favorite of all the sake we drank that day.
