A bottle of Crucible, where we stayed on our Miyagi trip.
It is said to be Wataya's standard food sake.
This black-labeled special junmai sake is brewed with Toyonishiki grapes from Nagasaki Kogen Farm in Ichisako Town, Miyagi Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 55%.
Since the bottle was opened, we started with the aroma.
A modest sweetness emerges. It is more fragrant than Kenkunichi Junmai-shu.
The first sip is smooth and smooth. The umami of rice spreads in the mouth, but while the sake is cold, the umami is subdued. As the temperature rises, it becomes rounder and more umami.
It is delicious on its own, but even better when paired with Misumi trout, which has been tied up with Hidaka kelp, and wild vegetables.

I spotted it on a business trip to Sendai and bought it 😁.

Low alcohol content, not too strong flavor, perfect as a food sake for my salad lover 😆👍.

A dream collaboration between Matsubara-source and Cotton Shop, who had a business relationship ✨.
I opened a bottle for the launch party by myself after work was over....
This is my first time to drink Wataya's raw sake 😆.
Mellow -> sourness of lactic acid -> spiciness -> dry and fizzy feeling
Rarity of the unique feeling of Nama-no-Harajiku? Rarity or braniness? It goes well with strong flavored dishes.
Kurihara's highly acclaimed grilled chicken with Gyoja garlic sauce 😭
The brewer of Wataya is a pharmacist!
And this sake seems to be made from rice hitomebore, which is produced by fertilizing Wagyu dung raised with Chinese herbs. The rice was produced by Konosuke-san, who added the highest rank to his commandment and became In-den.
I would not say that it tasted like Chinese herbs, but it was delicious with a rich flavor.
Good evening, Nochi-san. It is not just a love at first sight. It is not just a love at first sight. And if it is the highest commandment, it looks even more delicious with a story on it.
