[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 🤗.

A Journey Through Time at E501 SAKIGAKE PLATFORM13 An event was held at Ueno Station using E501 SAKIGAKE, a converted E501 series train that was once (briefly) active on the Joban Line! In the train, we were able to enjoy Ibaraki's local sake! The first cup was a Daiginjo from Kiri-Tsukuba! It was a slurp and I drank it all up in no time!

I guess this is the first house back here. The 7th glass: Kirizukuba Special Junmai This sake arrived when I was really engrossed in the conversation... I think it was a dry sake with a nice sharp taste 😅I wasn't impressed much 😂. This was from a brewery in Urasato 😳

New products from Kirizukuba's fresh yeast yeast Gorgeous aroma Strawberry, grapefruit, and shine muscat Fresh, sweet and acidic, but with a depth of flavor and depth. It has a crispness that disappears as you sip it. A delicious sake that shows the potential of Ogawa yeast. The sweetness is also noticeable when heated. I would drink it cold or at room temperature.

The second GoAra restaurant is Hoshigiri in Kiritsukuba: ✨️ The aroma on the nose is sweet with a hint of acidity. When you put it in your mouth, you will find a sweet umami flavor with a hint of acidity and a good depth of flavor. It has a good balance and is very drinkable. The third picture is of Mr. Chikara Urasato, a handsome toji. I told him when I took his picture that the Hoshigiri was very tasty, and the Junmai Hi-ire of Urasato, which he is holding, was also very tasty, showing the goodness of No. 10 yeast. As for Urasato junmai, hi-ire is mellower and tastier than nama-shu 🤔🦆.

Good morning, Manachie-san 🌞. We also have events in Osaka and Nagoya, so there are some breweries where only the brewers come, but even so, it's not often you get a chance to hear the brewers talk about their work 😊. I think this will sell well 😆.

I bought it because I'm a meeja who has a weakness for limited editions😅. It was a limited edition sake from Kiri-Tsukuba brewed by Urasato Sake Brewery, one of my recent favorites, at AEON MALL Shimotsuma. I found it to be more acidic than the original Kiri-Tsukuba (special junmai), which I prefer to the original, but it is also easy to drink! I heard that Urasato Shuzo will be exhibiting at the Young Dawn event, but unfortunately I was not able to visit their booth 😢.

At CHUIN-san over the past day. We visited the owner, Mr. Kawada, again to visit him. We had drinks with Mr. Kawada's story. Here is the first one. Kiri-Tsukuba Honnen Junmai Usu Nigori (light nigori). It seems that only sake shops that went to Urasato Shuzoten for this sake can handle it, and there is almost no distribution outside of the local area 🤔. I did not even know it existed. The appearance is a light cloudy color with beautifully hazy gold tints. The aroma is mildly sweet and refreshing at the same time. Sweetness of green melon and banana, with a fresh, chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili aroma. The usual unbearable aroma. The aroma of rice, like freshly pounded rice cake, is also rich. After a smooth entry, a gentle gaseous stimulation tickles the palate with a pleasantly intoxicating sensation. The sweetness, like melon juice, has a roundness to it, and the acidity that spreads quickly is gentle and juicy. It finishes with a good umami flavor and a refreshing dryness that passes through the nose. The sharpness is good, and the lingering aftertaste of slight bitterness is also intoxicating. It is too delicious. This is a little too good. It is my favorite among the active light nigori that I drank this year 🥰. I want to drink a bottle properly 🍶. I later asked the toji, Chikara Urasato, about it, and he told me that it is brewed irregularly only in the years when there is surplus rice for sake🥺.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌙. I went to a liquor store in Ibaraki the other day because I wanted to drink Kirizukuba. I wanted to take this one home too, but I gave up because they only have one bottle 😣. I see it's an irregular brew 😂I hope I get a chance to drink it ✨.

Good evening, Kotaro 😃. I see you ran into them in Ibaraki! That alone makes me jealous 🤤. I too specialize in Shogo-Bottles, but with this one, I would buy even a bottle of Ippon with the assumption that it will be split and stored in a Shogo-Bottle 🤩. I can only hope that there will be extra sake rice next year 😌.

It is fruity and delicious. 90% of the sake is consumed in Ibaraki Prefecture, and I personally like it so much that I would say it is my favorite sake from Ibaraki. The day after drinking this, I happened to stop by a 7-Eleven near the Urasato Sake Brewery and was surprised to see a corner directly from the brewery. I will be choosing from a variety here from now on.
