It has a gentle, fruity aroma, a thickened rice flavor, and a sweet, suki-suki taste.
The sweet and refreshing aftertaste.
#Nihon-shu
It feels fresh and gorgeous the moment you drink it. Personally, I felt a freshness like green apples.
Since I have often had dry sake recently, I was able to enjoy a fresh and gorgeous taste.
I had it at a restaurant, and when I looked it up to try it again, I found that it was surprisingly reasonably priced. I will try it at home.

Ryuusen Yaezakura Junmai Ginjyo Nakakumi Unfiltered Nama Sake
Purchased at Hankyu Department Store.
It is served cold.
The sound of the bottle opening is a little strong.
Microbubbles are also sparsely adhering to the bottle.
The color is clear and very thinly greenish yellow.
The top aroma is slightly sweet.
The mouthfeel is slightly viscous and fruity.
It has a unique minerality and a complex, mildly sweet taste, followed by citrus acidity and a nutty, full-bodied flavor.
After swallowing, the nose reveals a caramel-like nuance.
The aftertaste is a little tangy on the tongue.
Overall, it is unique and complex. It is sweet and fruity, but it is not quite cohesive and has a bit of a whirly-whirly feel to it.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 16%.
Good evening! 🙋
May is coming to an end in the blink of an eye 😱.
They say time flies when you get older, but it really is like that. 😅
Well, the other day I attended a meeting of a certain organization.
As this is the home of Izumikin Shuzo, I immediately opened a bottle of Ryuusen Yaezakura Special Junmai Nakakumi Unfiltered Nama Sake! 🎉
We poured it into cups, focusing on those who had been transferred! 😄
It is slightly sweet and soft on the palate, so it seems to go in easily.
President Yaegashi is absent on another matter.
Well, even if he wasn't here, we promoted the Ryuusen Yaegakura as much as we could! 😁😁
It was delicious! 🎉🎉🎉
And lastly, the local Izumikin's Ryusen Yaezakura Daiginjo.
At the recently announced National New Sake Competition, Izumikin was awarded a gold medal! 🎉🎉🎉
I'm not sure how to apply, so I wondered if they were offering Akatake or Shinmasa? but it's great to see a local sake brewery being recognized! 😁😁
So, I took a sip of the daiginjo.
It already tastes clean like fine water!
It seems to be fine with any meal.
It was delicious! 🙋
Next was Yaezakura Dry Junmai by local Izumikin Shuzo.
For a dry sake, the rice flavor was well expressed, which matched the yakitori and was very tasty.
Basically, I thought that Tomifuku's main sake that they purchase from Sakamoto Sake Brewery is the sake that makes people say "dry but tasty". 😁
As an aside, the reason why they put a sticker on the label saying Izumikin Holdings is, well, as a countermeasure in case of succession, let's create a holding company and manage the group there, I guess.
The stock price of unlisted small and medium-sized enterprises is not so important, but if it is valued at a certain level, inheritance tax will be very difficult to pay 😱.
I was talking about the need to take taxation measures in order for the sake brewery to continue to operate properly. 😅
Tasting at Hankyu Department Store (3)
The booth of Ryusen Yaezakura.
I thought they had been at the brewery's booth at the brewery festival, and when I talked with the brewer, he reminded me that they are a cave-storage brewery that rents out their limestone caves to the general public.
This was the first time for the brewery to participate in a regular event other than the Kuramoto Festival.
The sake was junmai ginjo unfiltered nama sake chukumi (sake-komachi).
I asked the brewer about it because I had not had it before at the festival, and he told me that it might have been sold out early, so I tasted it.
It is fresh, dark, sweet and fruity. It has a slight nutty and caramel taste.
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Naka-Kumi (Ginga)
The specs are the same, but this one uses a different sake rice, Ginginga. It is a little bit sweet and smooth.
Junmai Ginjo Sakekomachi Ginjikonjo
This is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake of Sakekomachi, watered down for summer to make it easier to drink.
Ryusendo 1 Year Storage
This sake is less rich than the previous one. It does not have a strange sense of maturity, and its umami is mellow.
Iwaizumi Matsutake Mushroom Sake Morinoho
It reminds me of instant matsutake mushroom soup. I think it was a bit rough when I drank it at the brewer's festival. This is also good.
