The sake is a testament to the brewer's solid sake quality design ability and outstanding sake brewing technique. Each drop of this refined sake, which is the result of a subtractive aesthetic, is the soul of the brewer, who is obsessed with Ogawa yeast.
This sake is brewed in the same tank as the sake entered in the competition to commemorate the brilliant performance of "Kiri-Tsukuba Junmai Daiginjo" brewed by Chikara Urasato, a toji who is the master brewer of this sake, in the 2024 competition.
Although the evaluation of the competition is not absolute, it is a good indicator of sake brewing techniques.
The appearance is pale yellow crystal.
Elegant, mildly fresh, and fragrant ginjo aroma.
The aroma is typical of sake brewed with banana, melon, and Ogawa yeast.
The faint volatile aroma is refreshing, and the rice aroma is about the same as that of Kamishinko (rice powder).
In the mouth, the texture is soft and smooth.
The elegant, mellow sweetness spreads smoothly like a flower blooming in the mouth, and the mild acidity spreads smoothly.
When the harmony of the flavor, the good ginjo aroma of banana and melon, and a slight volatile aroma is pleasantly felt, the aroma disappears as if it were a mirage.
The aftertaste is clean and stringy.
The aroma and taste are as if the core of Ogawa yeast's sake brewing has been extracted and crystallized through subtractive aesthetics.
It was simply amazing.
It was an intoxicating experience.
Hi Aladdin 😊
Just reading your post makes me swoon😍It must be very delicious.
It's a hell of a drink, so what is it? Kiri number? I thought so, but not so much. Sake adds color to our daily life, doesn't it?
Good morning, Maru 😃.
The aroma, texture, taste, lingering appearance, etc. were all of high quality: ☺️
Except for intentional aging, I'm trying to practice "when you want to drink it, it's caisendoki 🍶"... but this is not so easy 😁.
Preference★☆☆☆☆
I don't drink honjozo, so if you ask me if I like it, I don't. My favorite is Junmai. However, if you think about the taste and cost performance of this honjozo, I think it is unbearable for those who like it.
Ibaraki Sake
Kirizukuba by Urasato Shuzo
This is my second time drinking this sake!
I'm having it with sushi today, and it's absurdly delicious!
The rice and umami come through strongly, but it's not too harsh or overpowering.
but it's not too strong or harsh.
Hirotogawa's special pure sake
This one is not as sweet as that one.
It is not as sweet as the other one, so it is hard to drink by itself.
as a food sake
I prefer this one as a food sake.
One Night with Rika Adachi: ❤️
I'm a fan of the drama "My One Night Rule". I want to have a one night stand with Rika Adachi too❤️
I'll start by installing a matching app 🙋I'll be a sake man too 🙋.
I'm going to be a sake man too 🙋 The name of the sake in episode 4 was pretty bad, so I'll post it here.

You could have just used it as is 🤣.
Well, here's what I drank while watching the drama
Kirizukuba's super dry ‼️‼️
Well, I drank it the year before last and it was very good, but I was crying because it didn't appear last year 😭I'm glad it appeared this year: ❤️
The aroma is melon 🍈It's calm but has a nice aroma 😆.
Melon-like flavor from the moderate chiliiness. Maybe a little bit of sweetness?
From there it quickly cleanses the mouth 🤣.
Too good 🫶 maybe even better than the year before 🫶.
Great work, no miscellaneous flavors at all👍.
It says "super dry" but it's not dry at all 😂If you don't like dry wine, you'll misunderstand the dryness 😦. It might be better to call it "modern light" or something like that.
It's great with grilled fish and has a great umami taste and a clean aftertaste. ❤️
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 🌙
I'm really interested in this one, but the liquor stores near me that carry Urasato are all out of stock 😭 but it still looks delicious so I'd like to get it somehow 💪.
Great name of the sake brand 🤣.
Good evening, Kotaro🌇I think there are fewer stores that carry Kiri Tsukuba than Urasato 😭This is one product that I seriously hope many people will drink and spread the word about: ☝️
And each one has its own label 🤣I think it would be faster to call and ask for permission🤣.
Good morning, Manachie 😃.
I'm jealous of the super dry Kiri-Tsukuba ☺️ I haven't been able to drink Urasato/Kiri-Tsukuba these days, despite my personal experience!
I can imagine the super sharpness with flavor and I'm drooling 🤤.
I don't know the original story only the snow lover 🤔.
It is easy to overlook things that are nearby, isn't it? For me, living in Tsukuba, Fog Tsukuba is such an existence.
However! I got it after hearing Aladdin's review of it as an erotic sake✨.
Modest fruity aroma 🍈.
The rich sweet flavor is there, with just the right amount of acidity to keep it from being too sweet, but it leaves a lingering aftertaste...yes, it's erotic.
Personally, I think it is the eroticism of Junichiro Tanizaki. It's like it's standing at the back of the room. No, maybe not as perverted as Tanizaki.
It's nice to have a local drink like this. This may not be a classic, but it's the sake I would choose if I had it to give as a souvenir💕.
Good morning Mamio, it's hard to get a feel for Elo, but it's delicious 😋I'll give it a try if it's still on sale 😆 Super dry came out this year, so I got that one right away...
Manachy, good evening ⭐Elo was difficult to find 😓 but it was delicious ✨The restaurant said it was "moist". Super dry! I'm looking forward to that too 🎶.
Good morning, Mamio 😃.
Kangiri, that was quite literary, wasn't it 😁.
It's not flashy eroticism, it's aesthetic eroticism!
I envy you that Urasato and Kirizukuba are local brews, as I am a Urasato guesser 🤤.
Hi Mamio 😃
I'm sorry to hear about the Kiri-Tsukuba! I wanted to drink it too 🥲 but Nobby stopped by Ikeda Sake Shop on his way back to his parents' house yesterday and reported that he got the super dry one that Manachie-san recommended 🤗.
Aladdin, good evening ⭐Literary! It certainly was ✨Aesthetic 😊I was able to deeply appreciate it thanks to Aladdin's review. I'm looking forward to your review again 🎶, Mr. Urasato, which is too close to me and I tend to miss it.
Jay & Nobby, good evening ⭐Oh, you got the Kirikuba ✨The super dry one is delicious too 😋I liked it and drank a few bottles a couple of years ago. Looking forward to your review 🎶.
Kiri-Tsukuba is my new favorite sake from Ibaraki.
Urasato from the same brewery is popular, but this one, which is a little more classic, is also delicious.
It has a melon-flavored, moderately sweet and refreshing taste. The finish is crisp and dry. The fruity and dry taste is a perfect balance.
Good evening, kiko😃.
I'm looking forward to drinking this bottle! I'm really looking forward to drinking this bottle right now 🤗Fruity and dry is our favorite type of wine 😋😋.
KIRITSUKUBA Hatsu Shibori Honnama Mild Nigori 720ml
100% Gohyakumangoku (produced in Shimotsuma, Ibaraki)
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Alcohol content: 15%.
Actually, we also have a bottle of Urasato Light Nigori Honkai on standby, but we opened this bottle first. Well, none of them are a miss.
It is not too sweet or too spicy, but well-balanced and fresh.
My wife drank one and I drank the rest. I should have had a bottle of the strongest cosmetics 🥲.
I love Kirizukuba and drink a lot of it, but this one seems to use Kumamoto yeast.
The label is also stylish.
It is refreshing, but has a nice aroma and is very tasty.
Thanks for your comments, Jay & Nobby.
I have never seen it outside of the prefecture either.
It is very tasty and I hope you will try it when you visit the western part of Ibaraki 😊.
Kirizukuba "Kogiri" brewed with Koro's Kumamoto yeast 🍶.
A sweet, refreshing sake with a touch of literary eroticism, modestly concealing an inner glamour that cannot be hidden 🍶.
This sake was brewed by Chikara Urasato, my favorite master brewer, using the "winning formula" of "Kumamoto yeast and Yamada Nishiki" as a tribute to the Kumamoto Prefectural Sake Brewing Institute, where he did his internship at Tokyo University of Agriculture.
The appearance is silver crystal, almost transparent.
The aroma is fresh and discreetly gorgeous.
Pear, white peach, melon, and banana covered with faint volatile aroma.
Rice aroma about the size of a white dumpling.
When you drink it, a juicy, dark sweetness spreads from the smooth texture.
Rounded and firm acidity accompanies the sweetness.
The volatile aroma of the hint of fragrance passes through refreshingly and flows with a clear umami flavor to finish.
The sharpness is very good and the aftertaste is rather long.
Oh, it's really delicious! It is very tasty.
The bright sweet and tasty flavors spread out in a good hardness or transparency with a wonderful sense of balance without being clingy or overdone. ☺️
Someone described this sake as "erotic," and I get it!
In short, it is very delicious. ☺️
My fantasies are expanding to include "Shinmiri" using Shinmasa's No. 6 yeast and Masumi's No. 7 yeast 😊.
Aladdin, good evening 😃This looks so delicious 💕When Aladdin says something is delicious, my family unconditionally puts it on our next purchase list 😆I can't wait to meet it 😋.
Thank you, Wakata-san. ☺️
Kawada-san, the owner of chuin-san's store, was also very complimentary of Kogiri, cold and warmed, and it was also well received by customers, so much so that we had to immediately order 2 more squares from Tomekawa Sake Shop after we had one square empty on the day the bottle was opened 😊.
Hi Aladdin 😃
We too have a system similar to the Wakata family 🤗 Frown Fog Chikuba is one that I'm really interested in, so I'm looking forward to meeting you😊.
Hi Aladdin!
I still can't find "Urasato" in my hometown, so I have to make this expedition 🤣.
I wonder what kind of sake is erotic to drink 🤔I have no ulterior fantasy 🥰.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Thank you 😊
We don't know if fragrant mist will become a regular in the future, so we hope you'll take the opportunity to try it: ☺️
Hope you're into the zone of your choice J&N 🤔.
Hi Jive 😃.
If you are going on an expedition in Urali, I would recommend Tomekawa Sake Shop 😊.
The blind spot in love is Shigokoro. Maybe that's what you mean (what do you mean ⁉︎)
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
I like the erotic glossy taste 🐩❣️ label is also different from the usual 👍✨
It looks like you can make "Shimbiri" and "Magiri" with different yeast 😆 Aladdin, please take the copyright 🐨.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
From a woman's point of view, I'd say he's a good looking guy with his shirt slightly open in the sweaty weather 😁.
I'm sure the brewery is thinking what I'm thinking, so I'm looking forward to the next development: ☺️
Hi Aladdin, Hello ☀️ Erotic sake from my hometown Tsukuba, and with Aladdin's rave reviews, I have no choice but to drink that! So I'm going to look for it today 😁 looking forward to it🎶.
Good evening, Mamio 😃.
By all means! 🍶.
By the way, other people have commented that it's like Aya Ueto is hiding her big boobs by exposing them, or that it looks like you can see her red underwear under her black stockings, but you can't but a little 😅.
This sake was recommended to my brother-in-law in Ibaraki by his local sake-loving boss. On the first day of opening the bottle, there was an austerity like THE sake, but after a few days, the heaviness was removed and there was a gorgeous aroma and sharpness. It depends on your taste, but I prefer the taste after a few days.
Taste level 4.3/5.0
Light taste at the beginning, sake flavor in the middle.
Light, easy to drink, slightly effervescent.
Not too ricey, but still enjoyable with a sake-like taste.
Urasato Shuzo's local brand Kiri-Tsukuba light nigori
Puchi-puchi carbonation
Co-starring freshness and alcohol
Sweetness and bitterness afterwards
Compared to Urasato's Nigori, the first pressing is more vigorous and rough
Serve with Yose-nabe as in winter
