Review 61 of the warehouse
This GW I decided to visit Chichibu City in Saitama Prefecture. This is because the Seibu Line was holding a stamp rally for sake breweries along the Seibu Line.
Visiting the brewery, I enjoyed the quaint building, friendly shopkeepers, and fun drink comparison tasting zone. You can also drink the spring water behind the building, which is rich in minerals. They say that the taste is dry because it is made with this water.
I bought this cloudy sake after being told that "our nigori is easy to drink.
In fact, it is very easy to drink! It is not sweet, but the nigori flavor adds to the flavor, making it very mild on the palate. Combined with the 14% alcohol content, it was easy to drink.
There is no acidity and no fruity aroma. There is no acidity, no fruity notes, and if anything, no fizz at all. There is nothing modern about it, but it's amazing that such a rugged sake can be drunk so smoothly and settle in the stomach one after another.
I drank it with Chinese stir-fry, but I think it would go even better with something a little darker....I'm sure it would be delicious with mapo tofu!
To be honest, I finished it before I could write my thoughts.
I want to drink it again, so I'm going to buy some more!
Visited the warehouse for the sake seal.
Yanagida Sohonten, the brewer of Muko-Masamune, named after Chichibu's famous Mt.
The current building was constructed by Kamekichi VIII over a period of several years as a sake brewery, grain storehouse, and dry storehouse, and the store is said to be the oldest remaining structure in the Chichibu valley today. Sake brewing always requires good quality water, and in search of better brewing water, the store was relocated several times before it was established here.
As known from the Chichibu folk tale of the "Seven Wells," we are located in the water system of a famous well that never runs dry no matter what the weather is like, and is of excellent quality and quantity.
Buko-Masamune has been nurtured by tradition and the secret skills of our master brewers, and over the years has been honored with numerous awards at various sake fairs and competitions, and is known for the quality of its sake. We will continue to strive to make "Buko-Masamune" as a small brewery's handmade sake.
Sake soaking satisfaction: 🍶🍶🍶.
Where to buy】Bukou Sake Brewery
Yasudaya's pickled pork in miso sauce. It is very close to the Bukou Sake Brewery, so you can buy it at any time as a souvenir from Chichibu.
The aroma is subdued, the taste is smooth, and it is slightly dry, just as the label says. The water used seems to be of high quality, and it has a bitter aftertaste with a slight minerality, making it a perfect match for the pork miso pickles.
Rating: A
Mukho Masamune's, Nonbee.
It is a very strong "raw sake"👍.
The alcohol content is 18 degrees.
It soaks in 😊.
It's dark on the first day of opening the mouth, but this may open up more flavors: ❗️
I've been waiting to pair it with a darker food item like grilled motsu (pork belly) or meat marinated in miso,
With Saibok Ham's coarsely ground sausage.
It's a delicious sake with a full flavor 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio. I see that the bottle has been opened.......soaking into the five viscera......this sake 🍶Saiboku's coarsely ground sausage......it's a perfect Saitama marriage.......
Good evening, brother😊.
I couldn't wait to open the bottle👍
I am very happy to have this bottle,
I have put together a saiboku so I have a Saitama marriage, 😊.
Hiraccio-san, the motsu-nikomi at Nagai Shokudo is so cheating...it's definitely a good match for Bukko Masamune🍶...just imagining it makes me want to drink it....
Good evening, brother😊.
This sake goes well with motsu👍
Of course it was a good match for motsu-ni at Nagai Shokudo.
If this sake was available at yakiniku restaurants in Chichibu, I would go there to eat hormone with it.
Bought directly from the Mukho Sake Brewery... Aroma: Slightly cemedine? As the label on the back says, it's a solid and heavy sake. It is like a local sake, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit of a problem, but...it soaks into your guts...it goes well with strong flavored snacks...smoked hoya and stewed tuna...I enjoy it with a little bit of it....
Good evening brother😊.
We have this waiting in our fridge right now and are looking forward to it.
I am envious of buying directly from the brewery.
It looks like a great drink and I want to prepare a strong snack.
Mr. Hiraccio Good evening. ☺️ I like this martial spirit.......it seems to go well with yakitori, hormone, pork marinated in miso......this presence is 🙆♂️
The GW holiday is finally on its last day.
Since there was nothing in particular to do, I took a quick train ride to Kawagoe in the afternoon during my solo free time.
There is a facility called Koedo-Kura-ri where the former Kagamiyama sake brewery used to be located, where you can find Kawagoe's specialties, restaurants, and a sake spot called "Kiki Sake Place Showagura".
You can try a sake tasting for 500 yen (3 coins), but I could not suddenly go home unannounced and under the influence of daytime alcohol, so I did not try the tasting, only shopped and bought some Saitama sake.
I was curious about the Junmai Namaisake of Muko-Masamune, which was posted by Chanmaya P. I was finally able to get it.
I was finally able to get it.
At "Kikisakejo Showagura," only sample bottles of sake "requiring refrigeration" are displayed on the front, and they are kept refrigerated behind the cash register. And they put a refrigerant on it.
It has a fruity flavor, but a refreshing taste and 14% alcohol by volume.
A 300 ml bottle for 440 yen including tax is quite a good sake.
I would be happy if this sake was served at a soba restaurant in Chichibu (Chichibu has great soba noodles), or if it were served at a yakiniku restaurant (Chichibu also has great hormone yakiniku restaurants), I think it would be able to catch the delicious taste of hormones 😌.
Ah, makes me want to go to Chichibu👍.
Hiraccio, good morning ☀️
I've been to Kawagoe before and fell in love with the streets and would love to visit again😊and it's such a fun place to visit! I haven't had it yet, so now I want to taste sake to my heart's content 😆🍶.
Good evening, Pon 😊.
Kawagoe, it's a nice town, isn't it?
Kiki Sake place looks like it will open in March 2018: ❗️
There is also Coed beer 🍺,
If you are looking for Sake, Kagamiyama has been delicious in recent years 👍.
Good evening Harry😊.
It was a windy and rainy afternoon on the last day of GW, but it was quite a crowd👍.
Various stores are back in business.
Chichibu is also good, isn't it? Chichibu is also good, with Bukko Masamune and Chichibu Nishiki.
"Just a short drive to Chichibu, La View."
Inspired by Mayu Hotta, we went out!
After seeing the grass cherry blossoms in full bloom at Hitsujiyama Park, we climbed up Mt. Mukou, and after descending, we ate omelet rice and hormone yaki at Parry's, and returned to the warmth of Chichibu at Matsurinoyu!
On the way home, I drank a cup of sake in La View.
It was a little dry, but had the sweetness of a special junmai, and was the perfect accompaniment to the hour-long train ride 😉.
Good evening, ymdaz!
The lawn cherry blossoms are very beautiful 🌸The omelette rice looks delicious 😊👍and the cup of sake on the way home ❣️ the perfect label for the lawn cherry blossoms 🌸It was a wonderful holiday 😄.
Good morning, Pon 😃.
I wanted to see the lawn cherry blossoms once and my wish came true 🥹.
I've never had a cup of sake on a train before, but I guess that's allowed on the express 😉.
The retro Showa omelette rice was delicious too 😋.
Purchased at a 7-Eleven in Chichibu. This is good. The aroma is rich and the flavor is spicy without being overdone. Easy to drink and very tasty. If you go to Chichibu, take this as a souvenir!
As a side note, I think that sake-loving motorcyclists are very grateful for convenience stores that carry local sake. It's a great way to take a break and get some great souvenirs!
