I recommended it to a friend and she said she was hooked. The first sip has a melon🍈 aroma and taste, and then it flutters away. It's a good feeling. Urasato is delicious, but I think the classic Kirizukuba is also delicious!

Weekend bullet return 🌀I'm back in Shikoku. My parents' house 🍥Drinking 🍶. The drink is Uraigiri Chikuwa 🌾. Good job by my mother👩👍 who understands. Thanks 👩 Wild manager of the local crazy liquor store👌 He had some recommended nigori sake for us 🙏. The aroma is clean and fresh, and comes from the rose yeast of Tokyo University of Agriculture. A clean aroma derived from Tokyo University of Agriculture rose yeast? It has a refreshing sweetness of rice, The aftertaste is a bitterness that lingers on the palate. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste enhances the dish. Souvenirs from a local sushi bar Souvenir eel ball rolls and sea bream with arabesque sauce: ✌️

I want to drink last year's dry junmai again! but not this year 😭 Anyway, I bought the one I'm looking forward to since this one is also delicious every year👍 The aroma is mild, with a slight melon aroma typical of Kiritsukuba if you sniff carefully. The attack is slightly sweet with low acidity, and the umami spreads out softly, followed by a nice hint of aluzoe and a clean crispness! It's not really dry, but rather a little bit dry. It's a good introduction to dry sake. ❤️ It's so delicious! ❤️ I would like you to drink it with sashimi and Japanese food. Uzaku book came out last month🀄️ I'm great at what I'm studying: ‼️‼️‼️

Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😃. Dry Junmai...sounds good...I'm sure you'll find a good dry Kiritsukuba that the president of the Dry Brewery has given his seal of approval 💮 👍I'll get it when I see it. Nobby's mom is also studying Mahjong 🀄️ ‼️ and seems to be pretty strong 😅

I recently purchased this sake at a brewery in Ibaraki. It was my first time seeing and tasting this sake, but I had a good encounter with a light, dry sake of my liking, which I think is a result of the characteristics of No. 10 yeast and the raw water. I tasted a honjozo and a daiginjo at the brewery, but this junmai is the one I buy for home. It is a dry sake with a nice taste, and it is a perfect food sake. Where is the nearest store that carries this sake?

Today is my personal Memorial Day✨. After work is over and the family is asleep, let's celebrate our anniversary slowly with a glass of wine alone 😁. Well, I had already decided what bottle to open, but before that, I opened this one that I got the other day 🍶 and had a glass of wine. Kirizukuba Daiginjo Sannenshu [Chikara]. The aroma is fresh and serene, with a sweet aroma of rice that makes it hard to believe it has been aged for several years, a soft and slightly fragrant sweetness that quickly fades, a deep and pleasant aftertaste that makes you take a couple of deep breaths, and a softly tinged aftertaste at the end. You don't need any accompaniments for this sake, you just want to drink it slowly and carefully. What a surprise 💡They took the label from the real thing and made a bottle for souvenir 😲. Hats off to Aladdin's taste 💦. By the way, I'm just appropriating Aladdin's post, but "Chikara" was named after Dr. Chikara Ogawa, who discovered Ogawa yeast. I've been curious about Buyu Cycle Ogawa yeast for a long time now, and this was the one that stuck out to me. Thank you very much, Aladdin, for this precious sake 🙇.

Today, July 1, marks the beginning of a new brewing year. We look forward to serving you again in R6BY. On such a day, we will be having a very special one. This sake is named after Dr. Chikara Ogawa, the developer of Ogawa yeast, who aged Kirizukuba Daiginjo in ice temperature for 3 years. The appearance is pale yellow crystal. The aroma is rich with soft and elegant green melon flesh, with slight notes of yellow apple and pear freshness, and a veil of rice aroma like white dumplings. The texture is just gentle and soft. The fine sweetness and umami spread smoothly, and the sweet melon aroma spreads gracefully. While the round, mellow sweetness and umami are pleasantly felt on the tongue, the cool acidity leaves a gradually drying sensation, and sometimes leaves a powerful impression on the nose. The finish is crisp, with a lingering warmth that is permeated by the alcohol, leaving only a very subtle astringency. This BY, I would like to continue my studies and deepen my own sake knowledge and experience so as not to be outdone by such a wonderful sake, and to be able to provide more accurate and interesting information. In the process, it would be great if I could be blessed with an intoxicating sake connection😊.

Good morning, Aladdin 😀 I was very mistaken... I thought Chikara was named after the toji (master brewer), but it came from Dr. Ogawa😇. You had a terrific first drink of the new year 😀.

Good morning, Yasube 😃. I heard that this sake is also named after Dr. Chikayoshi Ogawa, the 6th generation master brewer of Urasato Brewery😊. I opened a bottle to renew my commitment for the future 🍶😄.

Hi Aladdin 😊 I'm ashamed to admit that I never knew the brewing year 🤫 I've solved the mystery of why it says 2023BY even though it's a sake brewed in June! Thank you 😊 Flagship of Aladdin's guessed brewery 😍 great👍!

Hi Maru 😃 Brewery Year, we don't use it in our daily life 😄. By the way, this sake is from H30BY and is a blend of daiginjo made by the former toji and daiginjo made by the current chikara toji 😊.

Report on the 7th Sake Tasting Party (1)-6 I enjoyed talking with the sake and brewery staff so much that I did not take proper pictures of the sake 🙇 Please forgive me for that. The 6th sake from Urasato Sake Brewery (Ibaraki Prefecture). It is "Kiri-Tsukuba Blue Rose Mild Nigori Nama Sake". This sake is a test brew using a new yeast collected from roses in Ibaraki Prefecture. I forgot to drink Sakura Sho, the seventh sake from Urasato Sake Brewery, so this is the last report on Urasato Sake Brewery. And no notes! If you are interested in the taste, etc., please check back in the past 🙇. If I recall, it is a light, dry nigori with a hint of gas. I thought it was very similar to Kiri-Tsukuba's first pressing light nigori. Moreover, it has a refreshing aroma of apples and pears, and the refreshing taste makes it a terrifyingly magical sake that goes down smoothly. Incidentally, when I asked about it, brewers' alcohol was added in a relatively large amount! Even so, the fact that there is no sense of discomfort from the addition of alcohol is one of the quintessential characteristics of this sake. So far, it was a great event for us to meet our favorite toji and talk with him over a glass of sake brewed by him! Continue to other breweries: 🎞️

Hello again here, Matsuchiyo 😃. I feel like it's right to enjoy the place to the fullest without worrying about notes or anything! I was planning to report this time so I took quite a few notes 📝. I'm trying to find a way to keep my memory and enjoy it to the end 😅.

Hi Yasbay 😃 I hope you like the Blue Rose, ☺️ They didn't even let the brewing alcohol sit and blend in, so I asked them how it could be so natural and they pumped my arm 💪🤣.
