Ibaraki Pref. Sashima-gun. Hagiwara Sake Brewery Co.
Toku-masamune Junmai-shu.
We received a set of seven single-bottle bottles, so we will drink them.
Here is the sixth bottle.
I didn't think I could drink it again since I drank it at the Japanese Sake Festival.
I will drink it cold.
The color is clear with a yellowish tinge.
The nose has a slightly ripe fruity aroma with hints of honey and caramel.
On the palate, a slight ripeness aroma passes through to the nose, followed by a gentle Junmai-like dry acidity. It has a slightly aged feel, with concentrated umami, a chocolate-like flavor, and a faded brown rice-like aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
Nice Masamune that has matured quite nicely.
Ingredients:Rice(domestic),Rice Koji(domestic)
Polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content:15
As for the taste, it is mellow and delicious, but it has a bit of a brewer's alcohol habit, so it may not be just right for those who like fruity drinks.
Today is eye exam day
Just one drink at a local sake bar while waiting for the bus
Tokumasamune collaborated with United Arrows to produce this sake.
The rice is Ichibanboshi.
Refreshing, sweet and sour.
You can't feel the alcohol.
It's more like juice.
It can be likened to plum wine with water
or apple cider vinegar mixed with water
I remember being made to drink it as a child because it was good for me...
My first Tokumasamune from Ibaraki Prefecture. Yesterday I drank it chilled, but today I drank it hot. The peculiar taste I felt yesterday turned out to be a nice soft sweetness when heated. This is the interesting thing about sake.

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
This store has sake from all over the country 😳No Kagoshima or Okinawa for sake, but all other prefectures are available 🤗.
Kagoshima and Okinawa are always stocked with Shochu Awamori 👍.
I came here thinking that with all this they must have some Masamune 🙄 I looked at the menu and thought, well....

It's sticky and heavy sweet 😊.

Past Log
I was curious about it after drinking it at the Ibaraki Jizake Tour on the 7th, found it at the Ibaraki Jizake Bar and drank it again.
Aroma of bran at first
Then orange aroma.
Slightly sweet and refreshing
The bran smell may be an off-flavor, but it is strangely delicious!
Addictive flavor!
It is clear with yellowish tints and has aromas of yogurt, cooked rice, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with mild acidity, moderate sweetness and a rather short finish.
Mouthfeel is easy to drink like thick water. Minus the alcohol feeling that sticks in the throat. Enjoyable on the time axis, but the second half is tough.
It has a sweet flavor that spreads and draws out as if a warmth is being transmitted through the body. It has an interesting taste that is not peculiar, although it has a bit of an "aji" taste.
