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.

KIKUFES 2023 Winter Edition" ㉕
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.

Drink and Support 📣 Akita Sake
A limited edition sake from the famous Haruka Sake brewery, and only 10 stores in Japan distribute it!
The aroma is subdued.
However, once you taste it, your impression changes completely!
Like grapefruit, like orange 🍊...
A delicious acidic citrus flavor
This is delicious ❗️
Somewhat similar to the promising Fukuoka "Yuma" that I had about a month ago!
I met another great sake tonight 😊.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi😄
Drink and support 📣𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒔❣️
I've never had Kuririn 😭.
I'd like to do a comparison between this and Harukasumi's Miso Nishiki 😆🍶🍶.
Hi Chichi!
Mr. Kuribayashi❗️I was wondering about this one 🤗I was even more eager to drink it if it is similar to Yuma which is rumored to be delicious‼️I'm going to go look for it 👋
Hi kan 😃
This one was even better than I imagined: ‼️
It was like a grapefruit juice without too much sourness and bitterness 🍹!
I wish I could drink yuma too 😆.
