This is the first sake from Ibaraki Prefecture to be posted on Sake-no-wa.
It is a Watanabune 55 Junmai Ginjo from Fuchu Homare in Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. The name of the place is Kunifu, but it is probably near the Shrine of Hitachi-Soja.
It is a delicious sake with a full aroma and a strong flavor.
This Sake has a deep and rich flavor. It is fruity sweet, a little tart and earthy. The mouth feel is medium and juicy. The finish is short and sweet. This is great to drink on its own or with food. I prefer to drink this without food. 😋
Polishing ratio 55%, 100% Ibaraki Prefecture sake rice "Watanabune" (short-stalked)
Fresh aroma like green apple, mellow and fresh mouthfeel. Fruity sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste. It also has a firm umami flavor. Very tasty. It is very tasty.

It has a gorgeous aroma and gasiness, juicy but not too sweet.
It is a refreshing sake that fits the image of the beautifully colored label ✨.
It was made in March, but it was still fresh, and even though I've been drinking less lately, for the first time in a long time I realized that we both had emptied a four-pack ➰ even though it was a weekday 😅.
Spring-only ferry
Fresh and juicy
Mellow aroma of muscat, flavor of old gum
Hade-ish sweet and sour, with a clean aftertaste.
Better in a wine glass, as the whole is more cohesive.
A superb ginjo-shu made from a fantastic rice suitable for sake brewing, "Tansokutobune".
Polished to 35%, the rice has a fresh, fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.
The sweet and refreshing ginjo aroma and rich rice flavor make this the best Watarifune sake. It is a refined sake overall with a firm sharpness.
This is delicious. ‼︎
Sake given to me by a senior employee of my company.
He saw it on TV and bought one for himself.
He is a nice senior.
The moment you put it in your mouth, there is a slight fizzy sensation on your tongue, making you think it is fruity, and then a robust, good old-fashioned sake flavor spreads out.
The aftertaste, however, does not linger, but rather fades away.
I heard that precious rice is used for this sake, so I will drink it with care.
The first time the bottle was uncorked, it had a clear, blue melon aroma typical of daiginjos, but after some time, the aroma changed to a mellow, greenish aroma that could only be melon.
The taste is also melon, just like the aroma, and it is a very well-balanced and beautiful bottle.
The finish is slightly sweet, but not too much, and disappears without a trace of sweetness.
It is best drunk as an after-dinner drink. It is not too much of a hindrance during a meal, but it is a different story if you ask me if it enhances it.
It does not have much aroma, but the mouthfeel that comes from it is extremely clear and goes down your throat like spring water.
It is just like a refreshing spring day.
It is like being able to spend time with a refreshing feeling under the fresh spring weather.
