Tottori, Yonago City. Inada Honten Corporation.
IKU'S SHIRO.
Yes, this is IKU'S. I was curious about it after reading koge2's review.
I was curious about it after reading koge2's review, and while searching for it, I came across it at an event at the Moriguchi Keihan Department Store!
An informative and perverted sake that I definitely wanted to take home with me.
Polished to Junmai Daiginjo level, 9% alcohol by volume and single-stage brewing.
That must be interesting 😁.
I'll have it cold.
The color is clear and slightly pale yellow.
The nose has a fruity aroma and a burnt caramel aroma when the temperature rises.
Sweet and sour mouthfeel that spreads on the tongue.
The taste is too acidic right out of the fridge, and the sweetness and umami are sharp and hard to detect.
Gradually the temperature rises, and the sweet and sour taste is rich and honey-like. This sake is like a dessert wine. Unique and interesting.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Alcohol Content: 9
Polishing ratio: 48
Inada Honten's sake in the sake section of a department store.
After tasting several, I chose Junmai Ginjo for its drinkability.
The sake rice is Tottori strong.
It has a fruity aroma and a sweet mouthfeel.
Serve with fish dishes.
Tottori Prefecture is home to Inada Honsen's sake brewery in Yonago, where they sell their products, and where you can taste and decide what you want to buy.
It is a very light, easy-drinking sake.
Taste level ★★☆☆☆☆☆
Purchased at an event at Keihan Department Store.
Koge2 had been drinking it before, and Nemuchi was very excited when she found it at the event.
Junmai Daiginjyo single-stage brewing, which sounds like a weird specs 😁.
Low alcohol 9% alcohol. Sweet and sour, fresh and rich. Tastes like eating a Ramune flavored popsicle or candy. I love this sweetness.
If I drink other liquors after this one, everything feels thinner...
It's a Tottori sake, but it's gut sweet!
Moriguchi Keihan Department Store Sake Festival ①.
Travel time is time to sober up.
Take the train from Hankyu Department Store to Moriguchi Keihan Department Store🚃.
First, we went to the Inatahime booth that bouken wanted to visit.
Sake-no-wa legend koge2 was drinking it as a perverted sake, and I was excited to see the sake I was looking for.
Inatahime Junmai Nama Nama sake.
It has a robust flavor and umami. The acidity is a nice, refreshing aftertaste.
Junmai Daiginjo IKU'S SHIRO
A one-stage brewing process. The gentle sweet and sourness is impressive and delicious.
Junmai Ginjyo Inatahime Strong Nama Genzake
Unique taste and flavor, sticky and bitter aftertaste.
Inatahime Honjozo Nama-Nagara Sake
Sake with a heavy texture.
Junmai Daiginjo Inatahime Strong
Too refreshing and a little unsatisfying.
Junmai Daiginjo Inadahime
A high quality sake polished to 30% Yamada-Nishiki. It is a sake that can be drunk like water. It is too clean.
I tasted "Jochu", which is a liqueur made by distilling sake and aging it in oak barrels, but it was too alcoholic at 40% alcohol by volume 😅.
Good evening, bouken 🌛I was going to review the soju, but I didn't take a picture of it, so I didn't go through with it 🤣It looked like a highly concentrated undiluted spirit or alcohol 💦.
First try of Tottori sake.
The sake is made from strong rice produced in Tottori. It is said to go well with seafood, so I paired it with grilled scallops with butter and soy sauce, which was a great match. The sake is not so strong in the mouth, in a good sense, so the flavors of the food are emphasized and the umami is enhanced. It is good to drink it with food. It is easy to drink even for those who do not like the spicy taste that lingers in the throat and nose. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy, which I like.
This sake was given to me as a souvenir, along with simmered eggplant and mushrooms. I was not expecting much from the label, but it's quite good and I never got tired of it.
I didn't expect much from the label, but it's quite good.
Keihan Department Store Japanese Sake Festival ①.
Is this the first sake event held at Keihan Department Store?
We went to the Moriguchi branch of Keihan Department Store in front of Moriguchi Station.
It's in the suburbs, but with annual sales of over 40 billion yen, it's doing very well in the department store's winter season.
Before going to the venue, I visited the sake department in the basement, but it seemed to be smaller than before... I went to the basement liquor department before going to the venue, but it seemed to have shrunk... I wonder if this is due to the fact that the Kuzuha Mall store has become a large liquor department.
First, we went to Inata Hime's Inada main store.
I drank
Junmai Nama-no-Genshu (pure sake)
I drank it expecting it to be sweet, but it was not so much.... I think they said they used white malted rice.
I wasn't really attracted to it.
Junmai Ginjyo Strong Nama Nama
Fruity, sweet, and tasty, just like the past.
It has a unique taste like a little bit of a habit, but I liked it the best among the ones I drank at this booth.
Honjozo Nama-genshu
Quite a heavy taste. It is spicy and a bit classic.
Iku's Shiro Junmai Daiginjo
Nemuchi-san was looking for this one! The one-stage preparation is rare. It was sweet and sour and delicious. I bought this one 😁.
Junmai Daiginjo Strong
Beautiful and fruity but refreshing!
Inadahime Junmai Daiginjo Harazake
It's delicious because it's a pure sake and expensive. Elegant ginjo aroma
I ordered this brand because I was somewhat curious about the name, but the last glass was less than half the amount I ordered.
It was quite tasty, but I wanted to taste a little more.
I hope I will be able to encounter it again.

Basically, they only bring you a glass, but they will bring you a bottle of sake if you ask 😊.
Inadahime Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, 15 degrees, with an unusual sweetness
Princess 👸 × Strong 🌾
A gift from a junior colleague 🎁.
I told the owner that I like Sake,
I told the owner that I like Japanese sake and he recommended this bottle to me.
I would probably not have chosen it myself, so thank you 🤣.
It's not as ladylike as a princess...but it's powerful like the name "Power",
It is not as ladylike as a princess, but also not as powerful as the name "strong",
It's not as strong as a princess, but it's not gentle either....
I don't know what I'm writing,
You can feel the taste of the rice gently ✨.
Good morning, Choroki-san. I suddenly remembered that there is a buckwheat noodle restaurant in Tokyo directly managed by Mr. Inada, and it is side by side with Princess Inada and Strong. I seem to remember that the hot sake was delicious.
