Less sweet than the pink label I drank before.
The balance of sweetness and acidity is not bad, but not don't be don't ( ;) ).
Sourness ★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Sweetness ★☆☆☆☆☆☆
sara kasumi
Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It is a springtime sake with orikarami dancing in the air.
It is a delicious sake with a subtle ginjo aroma and a sweet taste in the mouth, but with acidity and the unique stimulation of nama-shu on the tongue.
Today's sashimi platter includes kanpachi, salmon, and mullet,
Kanpachi, salmon, mullet kombujime, seared Spanish mackerel with salted lemon, firefly squid... I forgot to take a picture of them, but there was a piece of each left 😅.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20250302
I could feel the sweetness of the rice very much on the palate, and after a little while after putting it in my mouth, I started to feel a slight bitterness, and the taste changed so that I could drink it and enjoy it without getting tired of it!
The entrée is oyster spring rolls! This is amazing!
Champagne and strawberries. Such a pretty yet rich feeling sake. Sourness and gasiness like fruit punch and sweetness of rice. Naruto sea bream nigori foam was also pretty like this 😍.
From the website
Sairai sara" is a limited distribution brand launched in 2018 by Kitanishi Shuzo in Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture.
The "sara" is named after "Sai-no-kuni," the nickname of Saitama Prefecture, and means "the arrival of sake from Sai-no-kuni that will change the world.
The concept is "the harmony of three elements: aroma, sweetness, and acidity. We aim for a graceful ginjo aroma, a taste of umami and sweetness of rice that spreads to the palate, and an elegant acidity that gives the sake a crisp, clean taste.
Refreshing aroma like strawberries.
Spring Limited Light Nigori Nama Sake
It has a fresh aroma reminiscent of strawberries picked in the morning, and a clear, full sweetness that spreads softly on the palate. The elegant and sharp acidity gives it a sharp edge, just like a breeze blowing softly through the air.
The clear, crisp flavor evokes a glorious spring landscape.
My favorite brand, Sairai's Spring Sake.
It is just as sweet, juicy, cute and delicious as the gorgeous and cute packaging suggests.
It has a strong flavor, but is light and easy to drink, which lifts one's spirits!
The 4th bottle I stocked up on my trip to Saitama ^ ^.
Sairai's ORIGAMI٩٩³(ᐛ)و
The clerk at Yukinoya Kogure Sake Shop was so good at talking that I couldn't help but buy it (^^;)
Pleasant sweetness.
Soft mouthfeel.
Sharp acidity.
This will make you drink too much if you are not careful.
(**I'm not sure...)
The third one I stocked on my trip to Saitama ^ ^.
It is not too much to say that I came to travel to Saitama Prefecture for this Sairai.
The red label on the black bottle is cool.
Fruity aroma, slight gasiness, beautiful acidity 🤩.
We are very satisfied with the taste that lives up to its reputation٩٩³( ᐛ )و
Sairai, special junmai was opened 🎉.
Today we opened a bottle of my favorite Sairai 😆.
It's a hard to find Sairai, so I always have high expectations for it 😍.
I'm excited to drink it again 🥂.
First, the aroma.
Not much of an aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, you will first be hit with a berry sweetness. The rice flavor follows it, and then the acidity follows it.
The three combine to complete the deliciousness. ‼️
The aftertaste is crisp and refreshing without leaving much of a lingering aftertaste.
It's delicious 👍Yes😋😋😋😋😋.
Coherent and easy to drink🍶.
It's quite well-rounded and beautifully easy to drink 🥰.
Not too sweet, just right for a mid-meal drink.
Well made and well balanced.
A little more fruity and sour in my opinion 🧐.
But maybe this is more to everyone's taste 💕.
I preferred this special junmai label🩷 to the standard sake light blue label🩵 we had last time: ❣️
Once again, I realize how different the taste can be depending on the rice and the production method.
Maybe comparing the same brands is one of the ways to enjoy them 😆.
The next Sairai Spring Sake is waiting in the wings at my house 🤗.
I have high hopes for Sairai again 🙌
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛Sairai is an enviable name sake that I don't see at all in my sake activity range 🤤💕I know you want something a little more fruity: ✨️ I look forward to your review of Sairai spring sake🥰.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama!
A delicious berry sweetness completed by an aggressive pursuit of delicious acidity 🤤.
Your reviews are always so great and make me want to drink more 😁✨.
I have not come across Sairai before, but I would like to try it someday 😊.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😀
Sairai is one of my favorite sake too, but I have to be brave to buy it in Kansai because the distributors are a bit out of the way and you have to go far away to buy it 🤣.
The store says they will send it to you though 😅.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
I had lowered my priority for Akasairai because it is a special junmai. I thought I might try it after reading your review: ❗️ I wonder if it's still available at the store I went through last time 😅...
Hi Nao888😃Thanks for your comment 😃I guess there are not so many stores in Kansai 💦mmmuch shame🥹Sairai would like you to try it 🥰It's made with good cost performance and tastes good👍I guess it's like Kansai's Kaze no Mori ⁉️
Hello ma-ki-, thank you for your comment 😃Thank you for your comment... It has sweetness, but only for special pure rice? I strongly felt the flavor of rice in this one 🧐It may be hard to find, but if you see it, I hope you will give it a try: ❣️
Hi Yasbaye, thanks for your comment😃... If it's not very far, you certainly need to have the energy to go there 😆 If you happen to go there, please pick it up first and foremost 🤗❣️Sairai's spring sake seems to be lightly cloudy...
Hi Hiro-san, Hi 😃Thank you for your comment 😃I recommend the special junmai for Hiro-san who can taste the rice flavor 🥰but it's switching to spring sake now, so it might be sold out already💦I personally have high hopes for the light pink🩷label of spring sake: ❣️
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😃 I haven't had a Sairai for a while.
I haven't had a Sairai for a while 🤔 and I looked back and found that the last time I had the same one was 2 years ago 😌 I went from sweet to sour to delicious to bitter and it was thick, refreshing and had a punch! I don't know what that means😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😄Thanks for your comment...
I was convinced by your impression of 2 years ago! I was convinced that it was thick and refreshing, exactly 😆Sairai may have evolved from 2 years ago 🤗.
Hi Kozou 😃Thank you for your comment 🙏 Sorry for the late reply 🙏.
Sairai, the name and the label seem to be to women's liking 😍I'm actually attracted to it too, from the looks of it 💕.
I was attracted by the spring-like label 😆.
Gorgeous 🍓 fragrance is well ✨.
Mike Bubble 🫧 Sweetness is mild, slightly acidic and dry.
The lees mixture adds fullness and mildness.
It was 🧐 easy to drink, not like 🧐16 degrees, and it was my husband who was Noh-killed💕.
If you want to buy a bottle, you need to buy a series of one-size-fits-all bottles
Sairai Junmai Ginjo
There was also a limited time sake available, but we bought a bottle of Junmai Ginjo with stable flavor.
The first day it was a little less sweet and tasty, but gradually the sweet and tasty flavor that is typical of Sairai came through and it was delicious!
