The name "Morohaku" is a seasonal Moromi plenty of "Tomikushin" available only in the northern region of Ibaraki Prefecture.
It has a crisp, active nigori origin and a dry sweetness that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
We were lucky to be able to purchase it outside of the northern Ibaraki area🍀.
Easy to drink despite its relatively yellow color!
Thinner than Watanohu. But the one with sweetness and sourness that makes it easy to gulp down. This one is good, too.
The one you end up drinking too much of... The best two!
At SAKE MEETING 2025 Autumn
This was quite a tasty sake!
Sorry for the long, continuous post: 🙇♂️
I would like to go to a SAKE MEETING again if I have the chance!
Homecoming Series 13
Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture is home to Shiina Sake Brewery's Fukushin. It is a pure Ibaraki local sake made from 100% Hitanishiki produced in the prefecture!
The specs are a special junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 55%.
While the aroma is subdued, the taste is a robust sake that hits the right notes of rice!
The aroma has nuances of young melon and white bean flour, the acidity is not strong, and the taste is easy to drink with a medium attack and a slightly long finish.
For my taste, it is my favorite type.
It is too hot to warm up today, but I will add my comments on heated sake later.
Tomikushin's summer sake, which was absent last year due to lack of Miyamanishiki
This year's resurrection is a special junmai, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed with Hitanishiki Ogawa yeast instead of Miyamanishiki.
Soft and gentle taste and aroma.
It has a good ripeness and full-bodied flavor.
It has a cocoa flavor that is somehow delicious!
It is easy to drink and has no curdle.
I heard that this year, they tried to use Ogawa yeast for the sake competition and missed out on a prize, but I hope they keep trying!
