I was curious about Hitachiniku Brewery.
It's a beer place, but I can't drink, so I ordered sake, which was very fruity and delicious!
All the sake is from Ibaraki.
The plum wine was also delicious.
It is famous for its beer, but it is also a solid sake brewery. As the name "Pure Ibaraki" implies, the sake is produced in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The sake has a soft, rice-like aroma when you drink it. The taste is pleasant and easy to drink, with no persistent aftertaste. It is a sake that does not interfere with the taste of food and is easy to pair with food.
50% polished rice
Slightly aromatic in a traditional way.
Crisp and dry with a hint of acidity. It is not too harsh and spicy, but not too mild either.
Surprisingly easy to drink. It is easy to drink with pickled vegetables.
Sake bought at Itako Roadside Station
Because we had a long way to go home, we selected sake that we could take home at room temperature.
And it comes in a box.
Ahhh, nice!
Calm aroma and taste
No twisted aroma or taste
A drink that never tires.
I like it.
Alcohol content: 17%.
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Aged at least one year in the brewery
This is a freshly squeezed unfiltered unpasteurized sake only available at this time of the year. The slight effervescence is pleasant.

I always drink local sake at New Year's, and this year it was Kikumori from Naka City.
I remembered that there was a Kikumori square.

#Kiuchi Sake Brewery
To commemorate my Ibaraki sake sommelier S class (?) I was given a special sake cup as a complimentary gift to commemorate my Ibaraki Sake Sommelier Level S (?), and I was served Kikumori Junmai Barrel Sake from the Kiuchi Sake Brewery in Naka City, which is next door. It is probably the closest sake brewery to my house.

Sake from the Kiuchi Sake Brewery, famous for its Hitachi-No-Nest beer. I was given a one-cup bottle and tried it. My first impression was that it was spicy and refreshing, but the alcohol content was 15 degrees, but it seemed stronger than that. I would like to drink it hot.
