Shoun Kinryu, which I drank the other day and enjoyed.
I got the original Kinryu (20BY) before the name and label were changed.
This Kinryu is very rare because only the already shipped bottles are available. There may be some left in Miyagi prefecture.
The name "Kinryu" comes from the Kanada area where the brewery is located and the dragon, which is believed to be the god of water.
The brewery still adheres to the tradition of cold brewing and small brewing, and continues to preserve the traditional techniques of the brewery.
The top-tasting aroma is a mild ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel is slightly sweet with a thud of umami! Slightly acidic. There is a slight sake-like aftertaste, but it is cut off by a firm bitterness and a light astringency that comes later.
Yum!
The transparency of the sake is well maintained, and the taste is classical. It is a bottle that shows off the traditional spirit and the earnestness of the toji.
Thank you very much!
Hello Haruei Chichi 😁.
Thank you so much for your compliments ✌️
I bought it this time to collect labels, but they say the production is the same in Shoun Kinryu 😊.
Please try it 🤘.

It has a delicious sweetness and a refreshing bitterness.
The rest of the taste is dry and easy to drink.
Production date: August 2021

It's fresh without any peculiarity, but rich and mysterious... Delicious...
It has a rice-like flavor, but with a clean aftertaste!
What is this mysteriousness? When I looked at the description, I found out that it's made by maturing raw sake at low temperatures...
100% Kuranohana rice...I've never heard of this before...could this be the original rice?
I enjoyed it with a hot pot!
This is Ichinozo's limited distribution brand, 🐉金龍🐉.
It has a sweet ginjo aroma, but on the other hand, it's very dry! Sweet yet dry, how strange😆!
I thought it was a food sake that goes well with lightly flavored dishes✨.
It was delicious😋.
In Mutsu, we savored sake from Kurihara, Miyagi.
Ichinokura, a rebellious brewery known for its unaudited sake, is based in Osaki City, but the Kinryu brewery where Kinryu is brewed is located in Kurihara City.
The taste of the sake is mellow, well balanced and crisp even though it is a raw sake. I think it is a delicious sake with a clean and balanced taste.

This is the second brand of Ichinokura, brewed in the traditional way in a hidden brewery called Kinryu-kura.
First of all, it has a dry (thin?) taste with a hint of oak in the nose. After that, the bitter-sweet taste comes out. You can also feel some acidity. At the end, it is quite dry and alcoholic. It's a little weak in punch, considering the oaky aroma. But it is delicious.
