2024 Spring Evening - Tasting New Sake - 11
Wakatsuru Shuzo Junmai Ginjo Yuyamanishiki
Test Brewed Sake
Test brewed sake? I didn't quite understand what it meant. A test that is not part of the product line? I should have asked the brewery 😅.
2024 Spring Evening - Tasting New Sake - 3
Wakatsuru Dry Gen Junmai-shu Namaishu
Gen was not very popular at this banquet. However, Gen's draft sake is rare and precious. And it is a good value. Well, I guess people want to drink more expensive sake today.
I bought this Toyama sake, Wakatsuru, when I visited Toyama a while ago. It was labeled for the Hokuriku Shinkansen line, which was extended to Tsuruga last weekend.

Koshi finished early yesterday and I got a cup of Gen 😋.
The aroma after opening the bottle is The Sake 💪🏾 When you drink it, you can really taste the rice🌾 and it is a crisp dry sake with a good balance of acidity and umami 😊.
It is a strong style of Japanese-Sake 😚👍Cup sake is very useful to make up for the lack of alcohol content🥳☝️
Dry Wakatsuru Gen Junmai-shu Shiboritate 300ml
Rice polishing ratio: 67
Alcohol content: 16%.
Purchased at the Toyama Airport store ^ ^.
Gen's Shiboritate is only available at this time of the year and you don't see it very often.
I had it in the waiting room with onigiri (rice ball) since I was going out for a short trip today and did not drive.
Gen Dry
180ml
Gen by Wakatsuru Shuzo. The details are not clear. It may be a souvenir sake.
The concept is to make a dry sake that you never get tired of drinking.
It is said to have a cool design suitable for dry sake.
It is probably a regular sake. Even the standard sake seems to be made from Toyama Gohyakumangoku.
It tastes as easy to drink as it looks.
It is hard to guess the name "Wakatsuru," but it is the same company as Naekaya. Toyama Prefecture must have been shaken by the earthquake.

Wakatsuru Shuzo itonami mellow jun 720ml
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol content 12
This is the fourth itonami, another brand of Wakatsuru Shuzo.
It has a rich taste that is hard to believe it is low alcohol. It is said that it is made in the same way as kijo sake.
This is the second year for this brand.
Since I decided to spend the New Year's holiday in Toyama, let's celebrate with some Toyama sake! So I bought a bottle of itonami, a new brand from Wakatsuru Shuzo, known for its Naekaya brand. itonami has a series of different sake qualities: Sou, Aroma, Sai, and Mellow. All have an alcohol content of 12 degrees.
SOU-SOU" is a new brand of sake brewed in a six-step process that goes beyond the standard three- or four-step process to create a more detailed six-step process that produces a sharp sour taste with a sweetness. The brewing process is said to be "six-stage brewing.
This is delicious. I guess this is the era of low-alcohol sakes being released in Toyama as well. I wonder what kind of sake other itonami have....

Wakatsuru Junmai Daiginjo Yuyamanishiki
The brewery is located in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture.
The sake rice is "Yuyamanishiki" produced in Toyama Prefecture.
It has a more delicious rice flavor than Yamadanishiki.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo with a full flavor and good acidity.
Junmai Daiginjo.
