I couldn't resist and opened a bottle of the new nigori sake.
I was looking forward to seeing how it would be like, the brewing concept being a sake with a sour taste like a lemon.
I imagined it to be more sour, so I was betrayed in a good way 😋.
The aroma is citrusy 🍋.
Scary easy to drink, tastes like lemon squash without the carbonation 🍶💕.
It's like you could drink it in a mug with ice...
It's horribly delicious 🤤💕
Five kinds today, the first cup.
The first one is a lemon-inspired sake with delicious flavor, bitterness, and acidity.
Today's assortment of fresh sake is a delight, one after the other.
Today is my first time to try Bunraku.
I looked it up and the flavor is similar to Senkou, it suits me already!
As usual, I mixed it before serving 😋.
A slightly subdued yet delicious aroma to pear-like sweetness!
Hi 🙋♂️ it's soooo good!
It's so light and easy to drink that it doesn't even remind you that it's 16% 👍
Good evening, Mr. Bousuke 😃.
Congratulations on your first bunraku 🎉 ㊗️
You and Senkou are similar! is a power word 🤗 these days we get a little freaked out when we hear 16 degrees😅
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
This was my first time to Bunraku, but I didn't know it was from the same brewery as Sairai 😅.
I was attracted by the word "pear-like", and my expectations grew when I saw the resemblance to Senkou, and then I was convinced after drinking it 😋.
The top aroma is pleasantly citrusy. It has a strong acidity and sweetness, like a lemon squash for adults. Although the alcohol content is high at 16%, it is very easy to drink.
Purchased after being recommended by a liquor store in Saitama. They said it was a modern brand with a focus on acidity.
Fresh and slightly effervescent. Acid bitterness of grapefruit, sweetness with a fair amount of juiciness, juicy. As recommended, it is delicious!
This is my first time to try Saitama sake. It is from the same brewery as Saikyu.
The aroma is slightly lychee? Muscat? Slightly amber. No gas. Sweet taste, little acidity. It was easy to drink and tasted good for an al 17%. I would like to drink Saikyu too.
Booked an evening course at Bunraku Tozo, which I had longed for.
I made my debut of hot sake.
The aroma was more explosive than when served cold.
A totally different taste.
When I arrived at the restaurant, the hall and private rooms were full of customers with reservations.
It was a bit difficult to get drinks and food, but I was able to eat and drink slowly and enjoy chatting with my fellow diners.
Opened November 4, 2025
Purchased at the brewery
Commemorative 900 check-in: ❗️
Much better‼️
Yanari Bunraku ^ ^.
They don't sell this sake very often at the brewery 🍶.
It has a refreshing citrusy acidity, overall soft but fruity taste🍊.
Somehow, it makes me feel a little excited ☺️ young sake 🍶.
Good evening, Mr. Kazuki!
Congratulations on your 900 check-ins 🎉!
You've finally hit the big one 🎵 It's awesome 😲.
I remember drinking too much of this delicious drink 😁✨✨✨.
Have a great drinking season 😋😋!
Kazuki, congratulations on your 900 check-ins✅🎊🎉.
Is it a direct sales place 😲I've been wanting to visit one but haven't.
Please keep visiting breweries and have a good sake life 😊.
Good morning, Kazuki 😃.
Congratulations to the young and exciting Bunraku for checking in at 900 ㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️㊗️ 🎉Almost there to the big day to join the Meishukai ‼️ Let's have fun drinking again 👋!
Mr. Machiner.
Thank you for your comment😊.
Yes, it's a 5 minute walk from Ageo station, so it's close and easy to get to ^ ^.
They also run a soba restaurant, which I recommend 🎵.
ma-ki-.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Have you ever had this sake? ⁉️
It seems they deliver it to restaurants and it's not usually sold at direct sales ^ ^.
I'm worried about myself because I'm too active in the sake business.
Hiro.
Thank you for your comment 😊
Yes, it is a direct sales shop attached to the Northwest Sake Brewery building!
You can't sample the sake, but I recommend the soba noodles shop next door 🤣 which is also directly managed by the brewery.
There is a set to compare drinks ^ ^.
It was light, with an alcohol content of 10%. It had a gassy and fruity taste like melon and grapefruit. The low alcohol content made it a dangerous ⚠️ encounter, as I almost drank too much if I didn't restrain myself.
