I went to buy some Raifuku summer sake.
I was recommended to buy this one 💡.
It's the first time I've bought this sake in my prefecture.
It's not this dry, but I heard it won an award in some contest 🏆.
It's not a summer sake, but it's like a summer sake?
It's a perfect sake for dinner.
It's a perfect sake for evening drinking 🌟.
Lately I've been drinking sake from the first glass 😆.
Purchased at Roadside Station Koga
Delicious!
Tangy on the tongue, rich in aroma, and refreshing on the throat!
I think the tanginess is stronger than the last time I drank it.
The rich aroma of the rice is so strong that it doesn't feel like an oddity.
Delicious sake!
I will buy it again!
I like sake from Ibaraki.
100% Hitanishiki produced in Ibaraki
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 16%.
Production date: April 2025
When poured into a vessel, it has a sweet aroma. It has a gaseous and juicy flavor, just like the label on the back.
I know it's delicious, but I haven't had it for a while," I said to my husband as we took a sip and we both groaned at the same time 😆.
Hello, Chizu!
It's a good time for you and your wife to have a drink together ✨
I haven't had a sip of the Gokei but I'd like to take a sip and groan 😍.
Looks delicious 🤤.
Sweet and pleasant acidity spreads on the palate, with a pleasantly sour and refreshing aftertaste.
Rice flavor spreads in the mouth.
A bottle that seems to go well with all kinds of meat and fish.
Ibaraki Sake
Gokeijo Junmai Ginjo Summer Nama Sake
Gokeijo has been on my mind for a long time. This sake is made by the Aoki Sake Brewery in Furukawa City, Ibaraki Prefecture. I was interested in this sake because it has won many gold medals and is made by Mr. Yanai, the former toji (master brewer) of 寫楽. Aoki Shuzo is not a very big brewery, so it is hard to buy even in Ibaraki, but you can buy it at a local sake bar at Mito Station.
The aroma is gorgeous for a summer sake. The clear sweetness and Hitanishiki flavor stand out. Sourness is a bit. There is almost no bitterness. It is similar to Nozomu (bo:), a sake from Tochigi. This is a very tasty sake that can be used all over Japan. It is gorgeous, delicate, clear and juicy. If you can find it, please do.
Degree of liking 10/10
Purchased from Hasegawa Sake Shop online.
The aroma has a slight ginjo aroma and a slight alcohol taste.
The taste is "umami with a strong flavor, slight carbonation, and a long aftertaste.
The slight gassiness lightens the weight. The weight is lightened by a little gas. The weight itself is asserted as umami with a bit of sweetness. The lingering aftertaste is softly sweet and bitter. The roughness that is typical of Omachi is also expressed in addition to the 16 degrees of alcohol.
It would go well with salty yakitori with a slightly strong flavor.
Please try it.

Aoki Sake Brewery in Furukawa City, where the young 8th generation brewer we talked about at the Japanese Sake Festival was here.
◉Gokeijo Dry Junmai Ginjo
The aroma is clean and refreshing, and when you put it in your mouth, you can taste the fruity flavor along with the acidity. The taste is also very clean and not too spicy. It is also deliciously dry.
The 7.5 generation sister has been succeeded by the 8th generation, and the appeal of the sake was perfect.

Aoki Sake Brewery in Koga City
Well, I think Yonemune in Aichi was also Aoki Sake Brewery 🤔.
The brewer was there, so I decided to have something to drink, and he told me to try this dry sake.
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Ichibanboshi 16%, Sake degree +5, Acidity 1.5, 1595 yen
AOK-1 yeast (No.7 series)
I checked it out and it seems to be a standard dry sake.
AOK-1 yeast must be their own yeast.
It claims to be dry, but it has a nice aroma and is quite clean and fresh even though it is fire-brewed. It is deliciously dry and tasty.
This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. This is a solid, sturdy, masculine sake. It is smooth and goes well with fish. I like the ease of drinking and the weight reminds me of Tsuki no I. I am thankful that I can drink good sake in good health today.
At a nearby bar.
It is sweet and has a thick, quite sharp taste with a clean aftertaste.
The figure showing the milling ratio is easy to understand.
There was a time when I mistakenly thought that the higher the number, the more polished the rice was.
