Jyobari"... It means a stubborn person.
In Tsugaru dialect, it is served with "Nakayoshi", a snack from the Nanbu region. Rokka Sake Brewery, one of the most famous sake breweries in Tsugaru, had been closed since their relocation, but now they have revived it.
I am a young man and not from Aomori, so please understand that I cannot compare it with the old Joppa.
The aroma is somewhat fresh and subdued, but gorgeous. The mouthfeel is smoother and slightly sweeter than Aomori's brewing water and Niigata's, even if it is light and dry, so it goes in smoothly. It is neither fruity nor rice-like. It has a sweetness like that of ramune. It is not heavy, but it is sharp and spicy. This is a delicious, light and dry sake.
I feel that my tongue and vocabulary are not good enough to distinguish the taste in detail.
Thank you again for this evening's dinner.
Good evening, Uppion!
I've never had it either, so I was curious about it!
I see it's sold at the Aomori Kitasaikan.
I want to go buy some but my fridge is full😅.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo!
As long as I visit Kitasaikan often, I can find sake in the store as long as it is not out of stock. I envy you for having a refrigerator full of sake!
🏆2023 10 private sake selections
This is a limited brand of Jyobari for special dealers. This is the last one as Jyobari is sold out 😢1.5 year liquor store raw aging.
It is considered to be hard right after opening the bottle, so it is warmed up.
40℃. It has a subtle aroma of alcohol. It is a bit sweet like orange or peach, and the spiciness of the alcohol comes in together. 45℃ is similar, but the sweetness is a bit stronger.
As the days go by, more emphasis is placed on the sharpness.
On the fifth or sixth day, the sake is served cold, close to room temperature. At this temperature, the sweetness is less pronounced and the spiciness is more pronounced.
On the 7th day, warm it up again. It is good even when the temperature is raised to 50℃.
It is a very well made sake. The sweetness is a little more noticeable and mellow, but it has the crispness that is typical of jodari.
If possible, I would like to see the new brand of Morai not to change its line so much, but to pursue its umami and sharpness and refine it even more.
Good morning, Matsuchiyo-san: ☀️
I had thought that was it with the continued lack of inventory at Jyobari, but was surprised to see it in the press 😳.

This sake is also from Hirosaki. According to the owner, the brewery no longer produces the Jyobari brand of sake, and this is the last of the current batch. In that sense, it was a very precious drink.
