It was recommended to me by a liquor store that I visit about once a month.
It is made by the same brewer as Sairai, but Sairai and Bunraku Reborn are sold at different stores. It is less sweet than Sairai, but has a refreshing fruity taste with just the right amount of acidity.
When you drink it, it has a citrusy and woody aroma like grapefruit, but it also smells like soda, partly because of its sweet and gassy aroma. There is also a yogurt-like fermentation. The taste was strong sourness and bitterness, a little umami and sweetness, and the mouthfeel was nice, clean, and refreshing. It was an easy drinking and tasty sake of the moment 😁.
Thanks for the treat!
I had a drink at the Asahiya Sake Shop stand at Kitazawa Hachiman, which is famous (I think) for its fair stalls with reasonable prices.
It's so delicious.......
Yesterday, we had our annual drinking party with members from different industries who have known each other for 20 years (alumni for 3 months only)!
The first party was at a pub in Azabu-juban, where we laughed a lot🤣, and those who could went to the second party at an izakaya (Japanese-style pub).
We decided to go with something we had never had before, so we went to Bunraku.
Surprisingly, we didn't drink any sake from Saitama.
But this is from the same brewery as Sairai.
It's a refreshing, rather dry sake.
It is a honjozo (honjozo is a sake made from pure sake), so is it a food sake?
Is it much different from the Sairai I drank before? (Vague memory).
But I'm grateful to be able to keep having a relationship with members of different companies and different ages (or, to put it more broadly, the same age group) in this way 😉.
Sweet aroma with a juicy feel.
Ripe banana and yogurt.
Contains and smooth texture.
Sweetness and acidity with a sense of purity that is more than expected.
Surprisingly crisp, spicy pungency and bitterness.
The sweet and refreshing aroma leaves the nose and the mouth.
The alcohol content is 13%, but it is moderately drinkable.
Delicious!
Taste 4/5 stars.
