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.
I stopped by the sake brewery on my trip to Ibaraki and bought it at a nearby distributor who told me about it👍I was hooked after drinking Terroir Ota-no-Tani last year, so I took the time to get off the highway on my way there.
It has a fresh aroma, and when you take a sip, the sweetness and rich flavor spreads out (reminded me of the rum raisin flavor of a certain high-end ice cream), but the aftertaste is clean and leaves no residue on the tip of the tongue, so you can drink more without getting tired of drinking it 😊.
This year's GW will include two remote work days in the middle of the week, but I don't have any particular travel plans 😅I'll be able to take it easy 🤗.
Now, it's Saturday, the first day of GW! I must drink some Ibaraki sake once in a while 🍶.
So, it's been 3 months since Urasato, and here's a bottle I bought because I was kind of curious about Nobby! This is the first time I'm drinking Watanobune. ‼️
I'll make love to you
Quietly open the bottle... the aroma is fruity: ☺️
It's very easy to drink, fresh and fruity, sweet but with depth 😚.
It is very easy to drink, fresh & fruity but with a deep taste 😚 🤔This is very good as a food sake 😋Ibaraki also has some good sake 😄.
By the way, it happened on Friday evening when I was excited about GW🤗 starting tomorrow...
Suddenly, due to some mistake, my approval authority disappeared from the company's system 😨 and if I don't do something about it, my work for the end of the month will be delayed😱.
And the problem was handled by the overseas Indian 🇮🇳 team, and I ended up calling them until after 8am and managed to get my authorization back. 😮💨
I hope nothing is wrong with my remote work during GW 😥I'm a little worried, so I'm going to have a drink to calm down first 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby, good evening.
It was a tough Friday 💧 and I had to laugh a little at the idea of calming yourself down with a drink 😁.
I was wondering about the Watership too, fresh and fruity, very nice looking drink 😊.
J&N, konbanhar(o´o)no~~~
Thanks for your work 🍵.
Let's drink 🍶 and calm down first ❣️
I know, right?
I finally got my GW shift and couldn't make any plans 🥺.
I think I'll go look for 🍶💕.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I'm interested in your father's sake from Yamada Nishiki ☺️
But it's tough to work remotely even though it's GW 😅and negotiating with the Indian guy 🇮🇳 😳.
Let's get rid of the evil spirits with alcohol so that there will be no recurrence 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
It's not a good start to the GW season 💦I hope you will be able to spend a relaxing time without any further problems😁.
I was under the impression that "Watarifune" was a sake from Ibaraki, but I thought it was from another prefecture.
Good evening, J&N!
I saw this at the liquor store the other day and was curious about it, but didn't buy it at the time...but after reading your review, it looks delicious 😋.
Sorry to hear about your troubles on Friday evening 💦Hope you're healing up with some good drinks✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆Ibaraki sake is also somewhat caught up in the expression ⁉️, but thank you for choosing Ibaraki sake for your first GW campaign ‼️ Speaking of Watari Boat 🤣.
Jay & Nobby, I'm sorry to hear you had a tough start to GW😅Well, let's take a positive attitude that you got all the bad things out of the way at the beginning! Sake from Ibaraki has been getting a lot of attention lately, such as Morishima and Urasato!
Good morning Jay & Nobby 🐥.
Things have been very difficult before the GW 😱.
Sake is the best time to calm down! That's great ✨Ibaraki sake sounds like a blessing 😆.
May everything be fine 🙏.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
There are many delicious fruity sakes from Ibaraki Prefecture, like Urasato and Raifuku😇.
I haven't had Watashu yet, but from your comments it sounds like we are on the same track 😇.
Jay & Nobby.
Good morning... I hope you don't have problems at work, especially system and PC problems 💦.
I've been paying attention to Ibaraki sake and opened a bottle yesterday 🤩I'd like to try something from Urasato!
Hi Erin 😃
Thanks 😊I've already had a few bottles and I'm settling in 🤗I can't make plans if I don't decide on a vacation early 😓A trip in search of sake! Might be a good idea😊.
Hi Aladdin 😃
I remember having a short straw boat at Kamo Nishiki before and it was so good 😋I'm busy at the beginning of the month so I don't have time for Japanese holidays 😓 but I'm still trying to purify the evil spirits 🤗.
Hi Manachie 😃
That 🤔 "Ibaraki sake but" was correct: ⁉️
I see! So at Fuchu Honor Sake Brewery, the one with the Sake Rice Watari Boat is Watari Boat and the rest are Taiheikai 😳 I was wondering about Taiheikai as well, so I'm learning a lot: ‼️
Hi Yasubeyesan 😃.
Oh, ⁉️ "Ibaraki too" 🤣Watabune is a revival of Watafune (the parent of Yamadanishiki) which once ceased to be cultivated, and it has a unique taste different from Yamadanishiki! Try it 👋
Hi Koizo 😃
I'm really having trouble with the system 😩I was in a hurry because I couldn't solve the problem 💦.
Ibaraki's sake "ha" 😆 there are many good ones👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
I hate to have work troubles before the holidays.
Let's be glad it's back in one piece: ❗️
I'll be at work for 3 days from tomorrow.
I hope it's not too busy😅.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's only on holidays that some problems happen 😁 Yesterday I didn't feel like taking a day off because of the wild fluctuation of the dollar 😅I don't want to go to work now 🙄.
Hi Chichi 😃
Actually, I was still scrambling to deal with the problem last night 😓It should be cleared up tonight: ☹️
I see that you are also going to work today 😑 Hope you are not busy 🤗.
Hi Rafa papa 😃
Yes, I know 🥲 I want to clear up quickly! I wonder what will happen to the yen💴💰💰💴💰 too 🤔GW middle day! Let's work hard during the day and drink good sake at night 🤗.
