[First brand I've been able to drink in about 10 years👍] I got a bottle of Kiri-Tsukuba's light nigori nama-zake (unpasteurized sake) from a hometown tax payment. It is a popular brand that is consumed almost exclusively locally, but it appears that there was some new sake left from last year that will be shipped in December 2022. ✌️ Although it has been over a year, it has not lost much of its freshness with a slight effervescence, and on the other hand, it has a moderate calmness that is quite nice 😋. It has a sweetness, but the refreshing alcohol taste and crispness are the result of the aluzochu liqueur. Like last month's Onra, it's nice to be able to get a brand that is hard to find through hometown tax payment 😆.

Tonight, we have Kirizukuba Hatsushushibori Light Nigori from Urasato Shuzoten ✨ This one is popular with Ogawa yeast users. I was attracted by the combination of Ogawa yeast, Gohyakumangoku, and light nigori, so I bought it 😅. Let's start with the supernatant. It has a rich sweet aroma of muskmelon red flesh, which is typical of Ogawa yeast, and the taste is very delicious as if you bit into a whole muskmelon 😋 Also, although this sake is alky, there is no stinginess in the aftertaste at all, and the bitterness and spiciness show up and the balance is excellent 👍. The spiciness of the aftertaste is doubled when the lees are involved, making it a sake with a different expression. It is a fun sake 🤗.

Royal, sake-like aroma. Slightly alcoholic with a hint of rice flavor. The taste of rice is refreshing. A sense of freshness. Good balance of sweetness and acidity. Moderate and smooth texture. Slightly light, suitable for a medium-bodied sake. It is delicious without flaw. 4/5 stars for my favorite.

1922 2025/6 KIRITSUKUBA Honnen Special Junmai Sake Gohyakumangoku 60 Ogawa yeast 15° A Tsukuba City, Ibaraki 1800 3465 This is the first Kiri-Tsukuba in a long time. I found a draft, so I didn't hesitate to drink it. I felt a slight bitterness in the back of my mouth when I first sipped it, but it disappeared as I continued drinking. The taste is soft and gentle, and the acidity is moderate, but it's good once in a while.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka (11) Ibaraki Prefecture Booth① Mr. Bouken was disappointed that there were only a few brands of sake from Ibaraki Prefecture when the sake list was announced, but when he went to the booth, he found a lot of sake that were not on the list. First up was the Urasato Sake Brewery, a classmate of the owner of the Crazy Salad Pavilion. The toji and his wife were available and we had a short chat with them. They had been staying in Osaka since last week for a series of events. ◉霧筑波超辛口本生 Junmai Ginjo I tasted it thinking I wouldn't buy it because of its dryness, but it had a refreshing mouthfeel with a decent sweetness and umami, and wasn't too spicy that I didn't like. When I asked about the difference between Urasato and Kiri-Tsukuba, I was told that Urasato is for the national market and Kiri-Tsukuba is 97% for the local market, and that outside of the prefecture, Crazy Salad House has a 3% share of the market. That's quite an impressive feat.

まつちよ
Good evening Nemuchi-san 🍶. I think all of the remaining 3% is a lot of Sugi since the liquor store in the next station in Tokyo sometimes has Kirizukuba lol.

National Sake Fair 2025⑩ Ibaraki Prefecture① Finally, I went to the Ibaraki booth! The preliminary list showed only 3 kinds of sake, but when I went there on the day of the fair, I was surprised to see many kinds of sake on display 😳. Mr. Toji from Urasato Sake Brewery was there with his wife! It was like meeting a celebrity! It was the second consecutive week that the event was held in the Kansai region, so it looks like he was staying in Osaka! The president (Toji's father) was also at the event! I chose a super dry sake, which I had never had before! The Ibaraki booth didn't have any information (or did they forget to give it to me?). So I used the specs based on the internet 😅. Polishing ratio 55%, Hitanishiki 15 degrees, Acidity 1.2, Sake degree undisclosed It's dry but has sweetness. I thought it might be dry because it's super spicy, but it's not. I can drink this kind of dry sake. Kiri-Tsukuba doesn't seem to sell outside of the prefecture, but they seem to sell it specially to the crazy salad hall, Tomekawa Sake Shop. I used to buy Kiri-Tsukuba as a matter of course, but I never realized how valuable it was💦.

Hi bouken😃This is now a year-round sake sale starting this month! It's very good, isn't it? ❤️ I've heard that in the past, only liquor stores in the prefecture that had a view of Mt.

Hello bouken 😃 I am so envious that you got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Chikara, the master brewer, and drink Kirizukuba: ☺️ Kiri-Tsukuba is a deliciously dry and flavorful sake 🤤. Thanks to Mr. Tomekawa, I can also drink Kirizukuba while I am in Kansai 😊.

Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌃 I believe it used to come out around the beginning of the year 🤔. It's easy to drink and I hope there will be more dry wines like this one 😆. I think you can see pretty far since there doesn't seem to be too many tall buildings 😁.

It's been a while since I've had sake. Today is his birthday. It was my day off, but the store was open and they said it was okay, so I bought it. It tastes clean, in a good way, like sake, and is easy to drink and delicious.

Burakuri 🏍️ first visit! Here is a bottle on the shelf in the liquor store. I was worried that I couldn't find the date of manufacture due to the strange code notation, but I wanted to try it, so I welcomed it! I had it at room temperature, and the fine chili sensation is pleasant on the tongue......slightly classical flavor, rich umami, mellow texture, and refreshing sharpness....

A rare opportunity to talk a little with the president at the Tsukuba event: ☺️ The aroma of melon, and the mouthfeel of melon. The taste is very sharp and clean. The taste is delicious without any cloying taste. The bitter taste is well balanced on the tongue. It's cool that you have a core to your taste! I thought ✨
