Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Murashige Brewery Co. MURASHIGE Junmai-shu, dark mellow and dry. Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival last September. The brewer was probably the person I talked to the longest at the booth. It is a strong sake with 80% polished rice and No. 8 yeast. It is an unusual sake, rich but dry 🤣. I heard it is very hard to sell at special dealers. It is served cold. The color is quite recognizable yellow. They say it is aged at low temperature, so I guess it is Maillard. The top aroma is caramel-like and honey-like. I quite like the aroma 😋. The mouthfeel is slightly tart. Immediately you can feel the acidity on the tongue. The taste is sour at first, but when swallowed, a rich, mellow sweetness spreads on the palate with the aroma of burnt caramel that passes through the nose. It has a rich, mellow, sweet-savory flavor and a slight sense of maturity. After that, the acidity tightens up again from the tip of the tongue, and there is a slight spiciness that gives it a slight kick. The sourness is impressive and does not give the impression of being dry. It's a very interesting sake, but it's a shame they won't be making it any more this season 😭. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Polishing ratio:80 Alcohol Content:16%.

Hi Nemuchi 😃 Speaking of Iwakuni, Kinjaku is the most famous sake in Japan, but I didn't know there was such an interesting other sake 😳I should have drunk it this time at Takashimaya 😌. I have to drink the type of sake that doesn't sell well or it will be gone.

Hello, Nemuchi 🐰 I like Murashige Sake Brewery and tasted their sake at Takashimaya Sake Festival. I especially like the 8not series more than the Murashige label, so if you have a chance, please try it🎶.

Japanese>English

Hello Nemuchi 😃 I think it's so sour that if you ask for a dry one at a pub and they serve this one, you'll get angry 🤣 Well, I like the perversity of it 🤣.

Japanese>English

Aladdin, good evening 🌛Murashige was a brewery that didn't impress me with their 2022 sakespu, but I was very impressed with their new production 😋 They are so particular about it that they couldn't sell it 😅I want to support them since they are reviving #8 yeast 😊.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Usagigoden🌛For some reason, I have a connection with Murashige and enjoy the transition of the construction 😊"eight knot" seems to have a slightly different flavor and I am interested in it, so I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see it 😁.

Japanese>English

bouken, good evening 🌛Murashige was quite impressive and memorable sake 😁He said he was going to hide only a few to make it, so ask him next time you see him 🤣I guess unique and hard to explain don't sell 😅.

If you go sightseeing at Kintai Bridge We recommend you to visit the Iwakuni City Tourist Exchange Center "Honke Matsugane" 🤗. You can sample local specialties and drink cheap sake from 5 breweries in Iwakuni. Prices range from 100 to 300 yen each. I chose 5 snacks 😋. Iwakuni Sushi Iwakuni lotus root with spicy sauce Sweet & Snack ayu fish Chestnut Uiro Wasabi shoyu-soaked wasabi The first cup is murajyu The brewery is just a short walk from Shin-Iwakuni station only a 2 minute walk! About 10 minutes from Kintai Bridge by car Mild aroma Slightly ripe Slightly sweet and full-bodied Slightly bitter aftertaste Refreshing acidity, yet light and easy to drink It is an aji-ginjo type suited for a mealtime drink 😀.

Purchased at the Takashimaya Sake Festival. Polishing ratio 80%, No. 8 yeast used. It has a slightly golden color when poured. It claims to be dry, but the acidity is so strong that it makes you wonder if it is dry or not. It is dark and has a strong acidity. It is dark and has a strong acidity. The acidity seems to come from the yeast. People who like sweet sake would probably avoid it just because it says "dry. I think it would be better to sell it in a way that appeals to the acidity rather than the dryness. Personally, I like this sake, but I think it's difficult to sell. The brewer also said so 😅Maybe they won't make it next year? I think it's better to sell it with more acidity than dryness.

The 6th Takashimaya Sake Festival" 7th brewery MURASHIGE SHUZOH Brewing Company [MURASHIGE] [EIGHT KNOT] Yamaguchi Prefecture / Iwakuni City This brewery has the largest cedar ball "Reiro" in Japan and has revived "Kyokai No. 8 yeast". I think this is the brewery I had the longest conversation with this time. It had been to a sakesp before and I tasted it but was not impressed, but about two years ago, they changed their production and made a big change to become a very unique brewery. It was so interesting that we visited a second time right after we met up with bouken. Every time, the brewery staff explained to us, "It's dry, but if you think it's normal dry, it's not at all, so please drink it with that in mind" 🤣. MURASHIGE Authentic dry. Sour but spicy. MURASHIGE Dark mellow dry. It is rich and deliciously sour, but spicy. MURASHIGE Tokusen Dry Mouth Sour and lactic acidity added to the deliciously sour taste. MURASHIGE Extra Select Dry Sourness is well balanced with a hint of lactobacillus acidity. MURASHIGE is a company with a perverse obsession with 80% rice polishing ratio and No. 8 yeast. The sake is made with a different method, such as using a sake yeast, using different rice, and fermenting at low temperature for a long period of time. It seems to have been made using makuake's kurafan. It is interesting but difficult to sell, so they will not make it next year 😱.

Nemuchi, good evening 😃. Murashige, it was generally sour 🤣. Thank you for telling me about this interesting sake 😆. It's a shame that you quit this line and it's going to taste normal 😥.

Good evening, bouken🌛Murashige was quite unique 😁Is the person you talked to the brewery owner? It was quite fun to listen to the interesting sake and stories 😄I wish Murajyu would go down this route 🤔.

Takashimaya Sake Festival (3) Nemuchi-san wanted us to visit the Murashige Sake Brewery because he wanted us to try their sake. Nemuji-san is a perverted sake fanatic who wants us to drink it because it has a strong taste. Since the loss of Kusaka Musou, we have rarely seen this sake brewery. When I drank it at a tasting at Takashimaya before, it was a time when the Kusaka Toji had moved to a new company and brought the rest of Kusaka Musou and Kinkan Kuromatsu. The wines we tasted were MURASHIGE Junmai Genmoku Dry MURASHIGE Junmai Konjun Dry MURASHIGE Junmai Kyokusen Dry Mouth Maybe there is one more type of sake? All Murashige's are made with 80% polished rice and No. 8 yeast. They all claim to be dry, but they all have a strong acidity. Dry? I have the impression that they are all dry. Isn't it too hard to sell this as dry? The sake level is said to be about +4, so it's too subtle to be called dry.... They said they might not make it next year because it won't sell well. I think it's not enough for the dry sake drinkers and the label is plain and unattractive 🤔. Personally, all of them are delicious with good acidity, so I decided to buy one of them. The Kyokusen was delicious for its high price, but I was surprised to hear that it too had 70% stars 😳. The talk by the brewer was also interesting 😁.

This is another Murashige sake brewery that I was unaware of. Recently, the brewery has been brewing "eight knot," which is a push for No. 8 yeast, as well as the old-fashioned Kinkan Kuromatsu. This time, we had junmai and junmai-ginjo from MURASHIGE. The junmai has a classic feel, and is a clear, royal-style sake with an assertive umami flavor, but it does not have a "sake" feel to it, making it perfect for a mealtime drink. The Junmai Ginjo was a little less impactful than the Junmai Murage 😅.
