Basic Matsuura Ichi
It is a very well-balanced sake, with just the right amount of richness and moderate freshness. It is also cosmetically pleasing. It is a must for everyday drinking.
Drinking at an izakaya introduced by my father in Watanabe Dori.
This restaurant is wonderful, not only for the delicious sake, but also for the very tasty snacks to go with it!
The sake on the right side of the photo
It seems to be a limited edition sake made to commemorate some kind of anniversary of the toji (master brewer).
Drink cold
Cloudy white
Full-bodied, but quickly fades away.
The aftertaste is medium, thick without any cloying flavors.
The taste is quite different from the one of the same brand with a strong sweet taste that we drank before.
Clear and colorless
Ginjo aroma similar to watermelon
Very rich sweetness and full-bodied flavor.
The aftertaste is short, but the sweetness remains in the mouth.
It is a sake that should be called sake fortified, but with added sugar. The alcohol content is over 20 degrees Celsius, so it is treated as a miscellaneous sake.
It is made from "Reihou" rice, which was once the third largest rice planted in Japan (apparently). It is said to be a low-cost rice used for sake brewing in northern Kyushu.
The sweetness is like drinking sugar water, but the high alcohol content makes it dangerous. It leaves a grapey aftertaste.
Purchased some local sake at the hotel in Imari for a nightcap at Aeon.
I had heard from a local that it was delicious, and I was curious about this brand.
It has a mild fruity aroma, a smooth mouthfeel, a light fruity sweetness when you drink it, an image between pear and 20th century pear, a little bit of umami like a sake yeast stock, and a cool feeling like fresh water, followed by a light acidity and astringency.
It seems to go well with sashimi and sasa-kamaboko. I had no idea it was this good. Everyone likes this sake, including foreigners, young people, and women,
The sake this time is from Matsuuraichi Sake Brewery in Imari City, Saga Prefecture.
Matsuuraichi Sake Brewery, well-known for its kappa mummies
Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake YAS50 Mr. TAJIRI 60th Anniversary.
This sake is the 60th anniversary model of Mr. Tajiri who is the head brewer of the brewery.
Light nigori version ✨
The outer wrapping is cool too 😁.
The bottle was opened with a nice sound.
The fruity aroma is typical of Matsuuraichi. Pear?
When you put it in your mouth, the rich flavor and mild acidity spreads
The gentle sweetness and bitterness linger in the aftertaste.
It has a complex flavor due to its light nigori.
The sweetness leaves the nose in a good way 😊.
It is delicious 😋.
Congratulations to President Tajiri on his 60th birthday🎊
Saga Prefecture has many other famous sake brands to be proud of besides Nabeshima and Koei-Kiku! By the way, Saga is the only prefecture in Kyushu where the average amount of alcohol consumed exceeds the national average. Please introduce the brand you drank again ^_^.
Thank you for your comment, Shota 😁All of Saga's sake is very unique and delicious to drink ✨I am glad that you drink a lot, but I only wish that the number of sake lovers would increase as there are not many people around me who like sake 😁.
I was missing your greeting. My apologies.
I was also born in Saga prefecture 🙇 I'm a newcomer to "Sake no Wa", I've only been registered for about 6 months. I hope to meet you 😃I'll be calling on you to help increase the number of Sake lovers❤!
Matsuuraichi Sake Brewery is located in Imari City, Saga Prefecture.
The mummy of a kappa is enshrined in the brewery,
The brewery is also popular as a tourist brewery.
We look forward to this sake every year.
Matsuuraichi's 100% Omachi rice Junmai Ginjo Nama Shuzake.
We opened the bottle immediately.
The aroma is mildly pear-like.
When you put it in your mouth, you can't help but say, "Yummma! in the mouth.
The umami and sweetness spreads.
And then, the taste is so good and sweet that you can't help but say, "Mmmmmm!
Enjoy the lingering taste while enjoying the chiri-chiri-ness on your tongue 😂.
Of course, there is bitterness, but
But the bitterness is more than that.
However, it has a complex taste with a sense of delicacy.
You can't help but take one more sip and drink too much.
I think it goes well with all kinds of food.
I think it is a sake that goes well with well-seasoned meals such as meat and Chinese food.
I think it is a sake that goes well with well-seasoned meals such as meat and Chinese food!
I will drink it again next year!
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Hi Rumionඊ ❗The Matsuura Ichi here is so good 😋 I can't forget it since I bought and drank it in Saga 😆 I stayed at Takeo Onsen Toyokan at that time and I always wish I had gone to Guild 😅.
Hi Nemuchi!
The locals love it too and it's a definite drink 😁 stay at Toyokan! Certainly near guild 😭 Please visit Takeo again and try guild next time 🙇.
I bought this at Asahiya in Saga City.
Sweet and fruity!
Made from 100% Omachi.
I've had a lot of different kinds of sake, but I seem to like the sake made in Omachi.
Maybe it was just a coincidence...
I'm impressed with the depth of Kyushu's sake since I moved here from Hokkaido.
It's delicious 😆.
The purpose of my visit to Kawanishi Sake Sales was this.
Although it is not written on the label, the sake was labeled as unfiltered raw sake at the store.
Unlike the label, it is fruity and modern. It has a refreshing and light taste, but the second half is a bit dry. It has a slightly gaseous taste.
It is a bit like Eiko-Fuji, but a little spicier.
I wrote it in a subtle way, but it is quite tasty with a good sweetness and flavor. I would like to try the Junmai Ginjyo Nama as well.
I think it tastes better after the second day than on the first day.
At Kokura station, when I said my favorite sake was Nabeshima
He said, "It's cheaper and sweeter than Nabeshima.
As he said, it was sweet and easy to drink.
And it was easy to drink.
I would like to try this sake at home next time.
