This is the fourth collaboration between Calbee and Fukushima Prefecture!
It is a collaboration with Naraman, but this one is Junmai sake!
I knew this fox was eating hard fries...
The taste is very good!
It has a thick sweetness and umami, and while the sweetness lingers, a slight bitterness gradually fades away.
Well, this sake is very relaxing!

Naraman from Kitakata, which we tasted in Hiroshima and had a good impression of. I selected this sake because I wanted to drink a shwashy sake. After venting, I opened the bottle and poured it into a chirori, and the carbonation started to boil. The first sip had an alcoholic taste and aromas of tropical fruits such as banana and passion fruit. While the bitterness spreads with the stimulation of the carbonation, sweetness and sourness appear. When the nigori is mixed, the sweet aroma rises and the richness of the flavor increases. The aftertaste is refreshing, thanks in part to the carbonation.
The third cup is the same sake from Kitakata.
It has a soft sweetness and umami flavor. I paired it with a specialty of Koriyama, Namenroku (carp). The cabbage rice cake was also delicious 🎵.
Fukushima's sake brewing industry seems to be putting a lot of effort into sake recently, and after winning V9 gold medals at the National New Sake Competition, they regained it this year for the first time in three years. It was interesting to see the photos from the local newspaper 😂.
It's been cold lately, so I went to the liquor store to buy some sake suitable for heating up. I went to the liquor store to buy a bottle of sake that was good for heating up! The tag on the bottle was appealing to everyone, so I bought this one. The aroma is weak, but the flavor is good. It has a classic flavor! It has a classic flavor, but it's not heavy, so it's easy to drink. But it's not heavy, so it's easy to drink.
Purchased at the usual liquor store.
I was attracted by the unfiltered raw sake, so I bought it.
The aroma is not very strong and gives a refreshing impression.
The taste is moderately sweet, but the sweetness itself is moderate.
It has a refreshing taste like green apple.
There is almost no bitterness.
It may seem a little heavy for the sweetness.
Like sweetness with flavor? Juicy as well.
Slightly fizzy on the tongue.
Alcohol 17%.
Rice polishing ratio 55
Color Colorless and transparent
Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆
Also had this at the Fukushima Sake Festival in Shinbashi.
The aroma is slightly fruity, and although it is +2, it is not at all spicy. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink.
Thank you for the sake.
I found a collaboration between Calbee and Fukushima Prefecture...
I've never tried it before, but I've never tried it before...
There is a fox eating a hard-fat fries... I wonder if it goes well with it...
The slight sweetness gives the taste of rice, with a hint of bitterness... The aftertaste is rather strong, but not unpleasant.
It's just right as a food sake, and it goes well with today's dinner of hot pot without interfering with it.
I think it might be good warmed up...
We received this at the Fukushima Sake Festival in Shinbashi!
Three tickets in a small plastic cup! (*5 tickets sold for 1,000 yen)
Other sake breweries have one or at most two tickets, but only this one has three!
I was curious, so I asked the brother (probably the brewery owner)...
He said, "It's a blend of junmai daiginjos from the past seven years!
I see, so that's how they make it.
Good sake x good sake = even better sake! That's what it means.
Now, how does it taste?
It's delicious! Slightly sweet, with a refined aroma,
It has a deep but not cloying flavor, and the taste is crystal clear.
It is a special brew, so it was a reasonable price.
I am rather grateful to have encountered it.
Thank you, Yumeshin Brewery, for making us dream.
Purchased on the way back from a business trip to Fukushima
I love this sake because it has just the right amount of rice sweetness, acidity, and sharpness.
