Young banana and kiwi-like aromas.
Light banana shake flavor on the palate,
Juicy mouthfeel with a hint of nigori.
The finish is fresh and crisp with a slight bitterness.
A sake that can be drunk with a gulp.
Taste 3.5/5.5 stars.
Purchased as a souvenir on a trip to Ibaraki.
It is a local brand of Urasato, and according to the store owner, "Ibaraki people always drink it during the year-end and New Year's holidays" 😳.
Like Urasato, it is not too sweet and has a gaseous taste that I never get tired of drinking!
The aroma is subdued, but there's a great sense of gas that only a new sake can have...
The sake is dry with a moderate sweetness followed by a crisp finish. It is also useful as a food sake.
In addition, the price is reasonable for this quality...
It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed by anyone.
I would like to try the fire-brewed type next time.
HinaHanaMama told me about Urasato's nigori, so I decided to compare Kirizukuba and Urasato's nigori 😊.
I started with the Kiri-Tsukuba, which is distributed in Ibaraki Prefecture, so I popped it on the internet.
The aroma is mild and faintly fruity.
The gas is not as strong as the Urasato, but it's still very chili ✨I get a beautiful sweetness and umami, with some bitterness in the aftertaste.
When you mix the lees, it becomes silky!
There is also freshness, Urasato is a little more tannic than Kirizukuba 🤔The hint of aroma is also stronger with banana ✨I also feel the umami strongly.
On the second day, the fresh sweet umami is easy to drink and refreshing. The silky feeling is gone and I feel a bit of bitterness at the end. The second day is easier to drink and I can drink it as much as I want 😋.
Good morning, ichiro18!
I'm looking forward to comparing different labels of the same brewery's light nigori 🎵.
The Urasato-san with its sweetness and gorgeousness, and the Kiri-Tsukuba with its freshness, both look well-balanced and delicious 🎵. I'm sure you'll enjoy the balance between the sweetness of the Urasato and the freshness of the Kiri-Tsukuba 🤤.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
The Kiri-Tsukuba was fresh, wasn't it? Also, you wrote about the difference between Urasato being Junmai and Kiritsukuba being Honjozo, and I thought it was just as it should be 😁It's exciting to compare drinks 🥰.
First time at a sake brewery✨.
Purchased at Kanazawa Ruzo Sake Brewery in Mito City
I drank a regular one at the store? I drank Kiri-Tsukuba and enjoyed it, so I bought this light nigori!
I drank it without leaving the day with the snowball and was surprised that it tasted just as good 😊.
If I drank it blind, I might not be able to tell the difference (lol).
I think this one tastes a little more sour.
I'd love to try some of the other ones ✨
After the chicken with mayo ponzu and Hakurakusei, here it is. The aroma is slightly banana-like. The mouthfeel is light-bodied with a fizziness and moderate sweetness. The second half finishes crisp with bitterness and alcohol, light and delicious. I asked the AI, which has learned data, to suggest the BEST 3 on the inventory list to go with today's dishes, and it said, "Hmmm? Foggy Chikuba, isn't it a good match for today's mayopon?" I asked him, "It is the best match! Because〜(long...)" I wish he had told me first...
Good evening, Mr. Manachy! I have them read the pairing theory and update the inventory list in a timely manner, and when they do so, they research the specs as much as possible 😊They also explain the theoretical basis when suggesting the best 3 to go with the dish 😂.
Following Raifuku, Fog Tsukuba.
It is stable fruity and dry. There is no way to miss it.
The omelette and yakisoba were also delicious. (I don't know if it's right as an accompaniment to sake, but...)
(I don't know if it was the right thing to eat with sake, but...) At the end, I received a mysterious rice ball as a souvenir.
I missed out on buying Urasato's new sake, so I went with Kirizukuba's new sake.
Urasato is Junmai and this one is Aruzome.
Muscat aroma
Slightly effervescent and refreshing
Slight sweetness and fresh acidity
Dry finish with astringency and bitterness
Can be gulped down like a soft drink
I feel that the season of new sake has come this year, too!
Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito)
Fruity and wine-like taste.
It is sweet, juicy and delicious.
Just as the name suggests, it tasted like green apples. It was also low in alcohol.
The photo shows the snack box lunch from a cafe in Yuki City, a souvenir badge, and a commemorative sake. The commemorative sake distributed in the train was also made by the Urasato Sake Brewery. I am looking forward to drinking it later.
On a recent ride on the JR East Mito Branch's local sake train, I was given a commemorative bottle of Kirizukuba from Tsukuba City's Urasato Shuzo brewery as a gift for the ride.
The commemorative label on the event train is delightful.
At the Ibaraki Local Sake Bar. (Left photo)
Fruity aroma similar to Koikawa. It is very sweet and has no aftertaste of alcohol, so it is especially recommended for those who do not like sake. It can be enjoyed like a dessert to finish off the meal.
