I received a drinking set from a colleague.
When I think of Iwate, Akabu is the first that comes to mind,
But there are more than 20 sake breweries in Iwate alone.
It was nice to have a variety of sake, not just the popular ones.

Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up.
◉Fukurai Special Junmai
Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking.
The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".

Fukurai-san in Kuji City
I've seen posts of people drinking it on SNS, but I haven't seen this brand in Kansai.
Polishing ratio 60%, Gingotome, 15%, Sake degree +2, Acidity 1.5
Giovanni's research yeast, 1411 yen
Orthodox and light. Slightly sweet and full-bodied. Slightly classic 🤔.
Procured on a business trip.
The aroma is a very fresh and unpasteurized sake. The mouthfeel is fruity and slightly sweet and light, with a classical drinking experience. The sharpness is thin and the sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. I like this lingering taste.
☆☆☆☆
Purchased at an antenna store in Iwate.
Drank at room temperature, it was refreshing and had just the right amount of umami flavor, making it a great match for a mid-meal drink.
Tonight, it is this sake.
No, it is a very tasty sake with acidity on it. p
Since this sake is from Iwate, the accompaniment is mamebu soup.
It is seasoned with soy sauce made by Fuji Isamu in Miyako.
It warms the body.
Right? Isn't plain sake fun?
Let's make a sake club.
It is an interesting sake. It has the piquancy of a raw sake. Slightly sweet, with a sweet and sour aftertaste. It has an interesting, but not refreshing aftertaste for a recent sake. It is delicious.
Sake-like aroma.
It has a graininess and a refreshing acidity!
Like Japanese pear.
A little sulfur or boiled egg?
There is also such a flavor in the back.
Classic, tightly packed sweetness and umami.
It is very drinkable.
A delicious sake.
