It was a delicious sake, just my kind of sake.
Melon-like aroma but not too gorgeous.
It is sweet, but has a tangy acidity? It has a strong flavor, but it does not leave a sticky sweet taste.
It was a really delicious sake.
Kuririn drinking comparison, followed by Kanazawa Nishine
The light orange one.
This one has a gentle sweetness and moist flavor! It is a sake that will make you feel tender with just one sip.
Even Putin should try this one!
I was surprised to see such a difference in flavor just because it was grown in the same town, but in a different area. Hmmm! It's so deep!
Both are delicious, but I personally prefer Rokugo Higashine.
Thank you very much for the food!
A gift from a fellow sake drinker who, for some reason, calls himself my disciple.
I don't remember taking an apprenticeship, nor am I the kind of person who could take one,
Misato Nishiki from Misato Town, Akita Prefecture. The rice and specifications are the same, but the comparison is based on the different rice-growing regions.
It is very interesting from a trial point of view!
Now, first up is Rokugo Higashine. The pink one.
It has a very pleasant sourness from a refreshing sweetness! It is very good!
Thank you very much for the treat!
Hello J&N 😁.
This guy is from Akita, so he is very strong in Akita sake, in fact I am learning a lot from him 😅.
It was my first time to try this rare brand, but I can recommend it to you 🤘.
My first chestnut tree (I'm not the only one who called it Kuririn)
Mellow aroma reminiscent of bananas.
The mouthful is filled with a tangy sourness that spreads and then tightens up with bitterness.
The rice flavor behind the acidity is delicious!
Not too sour and not too sweet.
It is a well-balanced sake.
For the record
Ritsurin
There's this type of flavor of raw sake, right?
I don't know how to describe it.
I guess it has a strong sweet taste.
It tastes better after the second day of opening the bottle.
The name of the sake is Kanazawa Nishine, the name of the rice producing region, and you can feel the local pride of Akita terroir.
Very tasty!

At SAKATOMO, an excellent sake tavern in Esaka, Osaka.
It is made from 100% Misato Nishiki, Akita's best rice for sake brewing.
There are two types of Kuririn, and they are divided according to where the Misato Nishiki is grown.
It has a sweet and sour taste with a firm sweetness but a refreshing acidity.
The aftertaste is dry and sharp.
It goes great with minced chicken wrapped in shiso and grilled with soy sauce flavor.

I knew that Kuririn was a Japanese sake that reads "Ritsurin," but I had no other prior knowledge of sake.
I had no other prior knowledge of sake.
It started out bitter-sweet, and the bitterness continued for a while, but I don't remember it making much of an impression on me.
I looked it up after returning home and found that it was from the "Haruka" brewery.
Akita's rice, Misato Nishiki. It has a beautiful flavor and acidity. It flows through the taste buds without a single hitch. Reading the description below, the image of drinking melted snow water in the mountains in spring comes to mind.
The following is from the Kuribayashi Shuzo website
In Rokugo Higashine, Misato Town, a mountainous area at the foot of the Ou Mountains, rice is grown with cold water from the mountains. Although the yield is low, it has long been said to produce good quality rice. Two young farmers, Yoshiyuki Konishi and Nagahiro Sakamoto, have been cultivating Misato Nishiki here since 2015. The Misato Nishiki here is "Kuririn" Rokugo Higashine.
