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.
