Leave it to the manager for the next drink comparison today!
We were seated at the counter farthest from the cold storage.
This time, we had a few more nigoros and sake!
BunrakuReborn Raindrop was served here at Fukurokuju in 2022!
The sweet and sour taste is exceptional!
From the menu on the blackboard, a snow crab salad!
This is my first time to try this, but it goes very well with sake 🍶🦀!
The preparations for the next day's event are now complete, so tonight is the eve of the festival for one....

I ordered this sake because it is also a sake that is not often seen in the Kansai region. At first, you could feel the alcohol taste, but gradually you could taste the umami flavor. It also went well with Japanese food.
A supreme product from Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture
With a glass of wine as usual 🥂.
Just good.
The aroma was calm and refreshing (I drank too much and my range of expression is limited. Please forgive me)
Not much bitterness or sweetness, and the umami of the rice should be felt directly. The end of the drink disappears easily into the back of the throat.
The lingering aftertaste is pleasant.
We drank it with Kasumi's bonito and baby cheese as our main course, and it was an excellent match.
This is a sake that needs to be repurchased in a bottle.
It may be my favorite of all the ones I've had.
Bunraku and Raindrop are now on tap 🎉.
New Bunraku sake at the liquor store we always go to 🤩.
The pop-up says Raindrop, which is very popular every year, is in stock again this year! It says 😆.
If it's that popular, you have to buy it ☝️
The last Bunraku had a strong astringent taste that I didn't like, so I'm not sure if I'll like it this time 😅.
Well, I'll have some 🥂.
Not much aroma.
In the mouth, you can feel the sweetness, but you can also feel the rich umami of the rice 🌾 with a bang.
No gassy sensation.
The second half is complex and a little spicy.
The sharpness is mild.
The lingering taste of rice lingers in the aftertaste.
I see 🤔
Special Junmai, it certainly has a rich taste of rice 🌾.
It has a firm and robust taste.
This is exactly like Sairai's standard light blue 🩵 label ❗️
I love Sairai, but the light blue label is not my favorite... 💦.
That's why this Bunraku Raindrop💧.
That's why 😓.
But to my surprise, my husband raved about it 😆.
I was so happy that he was so pleased and I was conversely happy to thank him 🤣.
It was a great learning experience for me to realize that different people have such different tastes 📚.
Bunraku is excellent for those who enjoy it, please try it: ❣️

Good morning...I have not bought Bunraku yet, but I have seen some that have Bunraku written on the label in an old-fashioned way, but there are also modern ones like this one.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 🌞I'm sorry it wasn't your favorite flavor 💦I guess if it's the same as Sairai, the key is probably the sharpness 🤔It's really interesting how one brand of sake can have both likes and dislikes 🥰.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I see that you are also taking on the challenge of Bunraku 🎵.
It's interesting to see that even in the same brewery, each brewery has its own unique style, but at the same time, they all have their own strengths and weaknesses 💧.
I'd like to meet Bunraku at first 😋.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
I also had it last year and it certainly had a strong image of citrus acidity ✨.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a friend who is into it, but I think it's a pattern that I'm drunk in a way 🤣.
Hi Kojo 😃Thanks for your comment!
This one didn't have the sourness of the Graduates for me 💦 but the standard Reborn was much lighter and more acidic, which I liked 😆 Please give it a try: ❣️
Hi Nao888😃Thank you for your comment... Yes, it is true. It's interesting because even in the same brewery and the same series, the taste is totally different☝️I'm happy if it's a winner, but I'm so sad when it's a miss 😭
Hi ma-ki-, thank you for your comment 😃.
I've been trying steadily, but I'm disappointed this time 😢 but it's also an experience 😆 I'll keep trying again ❣️ 😆 I hope we'll meet again someday 🥰.
Hi Jive 😃Thanks for your comment...I see you drank it last year ❣️ Jive did you find it sour... 😓I didn't... 💧I wonder if the taste has changed since last year. I wonder if I'm a bit of a taste tester. I can't blame you for that 🤣.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 🐦🐦.
Northwest Brewery is becoming the image of HinaHanaMama 😆👍You didn't like it this time 😳Husband is happy next to you! I can't stop this fun 😁.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
We are going to have a Bunraku tasting next week at a liquor store near us and they will be serving Sun Citron and Rain drop as well as Jun Dai Nama 🤗 I hope to get some of my favorites!
Good evening, Pon-chan 😄Thank you for your comment...different people have different tastes 😅If you drink next to me with such pleasure...Sake is really interesting 🤣Sairai = Hina Hana mom, I'll brainwash you too ❣️
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😄Thanks for your comment...eh ❗️ awesome🙌 such a great tasting 😳I'd love to have you guys try it and hear what you think 🤗Tochigi love to pull Bunraku as expected ❤️ awesome 👍.
Nice to meet you, HinaHanaMama 😊.
I was recommended to buy this sake at a liquor store the other day and I couldn't help but come across it 😅.
I've never tried Sairai or Bunraku so I'm going to enjoy them based on HinaHanaMama's comment 😊.
Nice to meet you, Rururun😄.
Thank you for your comment... I can't help but buy it if the liquor store recommends it 😆 I'm looking forward to my first time at the brewery ❣️ I'm sure it will be delicious 👌Look forward to your review 🥰.
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 🤣.
