Purchased at my usual liquor store.
The taste is not fruity, but has a soft rice-like sweetness.
It has a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, and you may feel the alcohol content in comparison to the flavor.
It gives a different impression from the orikarami sakes I have been drinking recently.
Maybe it will change again after a while?
Alcohol level 16%.
Rice polishing ratio 55
We received a bottle of Bunraku Ryonagi Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Harajuku.
The standing aroma is moderately fruity ginjo aroma reminiscent of muscat.
Mmmm, it's a nice aroma 👍.
In the mouth, the fruity sweetness rushes in, followed by a hint of acidity, and then a slight astringency towards the end, before it finishes refreshingly.
It is delicious!
As one would expect from the brewery that produces the popular Sairai 😊.
It is a summer sake, with a sour, sweet, juicy, yet crisp taste that is perfect for this season✌.
I drank it while thinking that since I have a day off tomorrow, it would be okay if I drank too much 😋, but as a result, I still drank too much~~ lol.
Hello enoshima-san 😃
I just went to a liquor store and heard that Bunraku is having a tasting next month 🤗.
It's an hour walk 😅I'm going to go there to drink!
I'm sure I'll drink some good sake on Friday 😄.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😊.
Oh, what an enchanting meeting 🎵It's a bit far to walk for an hour, but even that time is an exciting time 😁.
I guess we tend to drink a lot on the night before a vacation lol.
Bunraku and Sun Citron are now on tap 🎉.
Bunraku is from the same brewery as Sairai 🍶.
It's been a while since I drank it 😆.
This is my first time to try Sun Citron.
According to the store's information, it is a citrusy, refreshingly sweet and refreshing sake, low in alcohol and easy to drink. ☝️
I'll try it right away 🥂.
First, the aroma.
Not much of an aroma.
The sweetness of the orange 🍊 type gently spreads on the palate.
No gassiness, and a strong bitterness in the second half.
The aftertaste is crisp.
This is another difficult one 🤨.
It's definitely citrusy sweetness of orange 🍊, but the bitterness in the second half is similar to the bitterness of the peel of a green mandarin orange that's not quite ready to eat yet💦.
Overall, not too sweet.
I drank it for the juicy citrus sweetness, so it's not quite sweet enough for me.
It's low al but I didn't like the taste so I didn't gobble it up😅.
Not bad by any means: ☝️
I think it's good if you like this much sweetness and bitterness 😋.
If you like sweet and sour juicy like me 😍 it might be a little bit bad 💧.
That's another experience 🥰.
I'm excited and looking forward to see what the next Bunraku will taste like: ❣️
I will follow Sairai, but I will drink Bunraku in parallel 🤗
Good morning, Hinahana Mama 🌞I'm jealous of you because I've never encountered Bunraku or Sairai sake ✨️ I see that you drank it aiming for citrus sweetness, but the bitterness was impressive 😅I really hope you drink Dusk Orange 🥰.
Hina Hana Mama
Good morning!
Bunraku is the same brewery as Sairai, isn't it?
I haven't had Bunraku yet, but I imagine it has a more classic label and such a modern one too 🤩.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I'm jealous that I've never encountered Sairai since I drank Bunraku 2 years ago 😅.
Citrus sweet and sour is delicious 😋.
I'll read your review and feel like I've drunk it .
Hi Nao888😃Thank you for your comment.
Bunraku is always available at the liquor store I go to 😆 but they don't carry Sairai, so it's always hard to get it 💦I want to drink 🍊sugoi orange 🍊sugoi 🍊sugoi ‼️ God 🙏.
Hi Kozou 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
Yes, they are the same 🤗Bunraku may have a classic image, but it's quite a modern drink 🥰I think its lineage is the same as Sairai's: ❣️
Hi ma-ki-, hi 😃Thank you for your comment 😃...
It's a pity it's not easy to find, but I'll drink it for you 🤣But it wasn't the sweet and sour citrus I was expecting 💦🍋 and more bitter than 🍊... 😭
Good evening, hinahana mama 😃.
Is it a citrusy 🍊 clear🍋 type 🧐 we'll have to check that out 🤗.
Bunraku is our first Saitama sake 🍶, but that was 3 years ago 😅 so we haven't had it in a while 😋.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😄Thanks for your comment 🤔Yes, it may indeed be to your taste 🤔Please check it out 🫡but it's not dry, so don't expect me to be there 🤣.
Refreshing, as befits its name. However, there is no bitterness, and it is a drink that can be drunk with a swish.
Finally, it is gradually becoming the season for summer sake 😎.
