One year after leaving Ibaraki
Ishioka, this sake brewery was within walking distance.
I never thought I'd be able to drink this sake, even if I could drink the regular sake.
I love it...
There are a lot of nama sake, but not this one.
but it's hard to find a sake that gives such a fresh feeling!
It's the best this winter!
Was it the best last year? And the year before last?
I couldn't drink it this season.
I feel that the only thing that comes close to the image of this sake is Tazake Tokusyu Nama!
I wish I could drink Fuchu Honor too 🍶.
Nice aroma, but sweet, and a bit harsh on the first day; after the second day, it is more controlled, but still sweet, with a nice sharpness, but the mouthfeel is sweet and the aroma is light.

Souvenirs from a business trip to Ibaraki!
I couldn't stop by a liquor store on my recent trip to Ibaraki and again this time, so I ended up at Hasegawa-ya in Tokyo Station Gransta.
Seasonal Shiboritate.
Fruity, banana-like aroma, mochi,
Slightly astringent, juicy with a sour mouthfeel,
Fresh and slightly gassy,
It is fresh and slightly gassy, with a slight bitterness and a crisp, clean finish,
Delicious!
Watafune is the parent of Yamadanishiki, a sake rice that became a phantom sake rice due to the difficulty of cultivation, but was revived thanks to the efforts of the brewer of Fuchu Homare. Amazing.

Sweet and sour aroma, light sweet and juicy taste from.
This is the first brand I have ever had, but it is delicious with a fruity taste.
It is light but has a solid body and is very drinkable!
Choroki-san, good morning 😃I drank some last year as a gift, it's very good, but it's expensive so I'll drink other Watari 😇.
I've just opened a nice new campground near this rice-growing area 🤣?
Always. No longer as regular Calibration. The aroma is sweet as usual, and the taste is also sweet. I think it is too sweet...?
The sourness in the back is also enjoyable and nice. After all, this is what Ibaraki is all about. ☺️
