Hinode Tsuru Junmai Ginjyo Miyamanishiki 60% 15% 720ml 1980yen We also bought a bottle of Honjozo at the brewery, but it was a completely different impression. The Honjozo was a little peculiar. This one is bitter with concentrated flavor and acidity. It is not at all dull. It is not flashy, but rather calm and delicate. The sweetness is graceful and has the taste of a first-class sake. The rice is local Miyamanishiki from Hitachiota. I found out that the heir who returned to his hometown had designed, brewed, and engineered the sake in a new attempt. I guess old-fashioned sake is fine, but only a handful of businesses are at the forefront of it. This sake made me want to support new attempts. Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20240317

Hinode Tsuru Honjozo 70% 15% brewing alcohol 1800ml 2420 yen We stopped by the Isaka Sake Brewery in Ota City, Ibaraki, to purchase this bottle. At that time, a sales representative from Momokawa in Aomori told my father that we were currently drinking Momokawa, which made him happy. I am grateful for the encounter. The rice for this honjozo is Chiyonishiki. Pour it at room temperature. It is thick and clings to the rim of the glass. The taste is full-bodied, sweet, and mellow. It has a slightly strong character, and the miscellaneous tastes are a little bothersome. It would be better if it were warmed to lukewarm. I heard that there is also a draft of this sake, but I can't imagine what it is, so I'd like to try it. Rating 3.6 (out of 5.0) 20240214

MICHI
It is a local sake from Ibaraki, but I did not see much of it in the liquor stores nearby. I happened to see it and picked it up. It was a dry sake with a deep flavor.

I was impressed with the Miyamanishiki Hi-Kiri that I had previously tasted, so I tried the nama-shu as well. It is fruity, sweet and delicious, but a little refreshing. It also seems to have more acidity. The hi-ire version seems more cohesive, but I personally prefer the nama-zake. It tasted good when it was first opened, but on the third day, it's not so good. The bitterness is getting much stronger. I think I would prefer the more stable fire-roasted version.

I'd like to try Haretoke's new handling. I've had red rice wine in the past, but I bought it because it seems rare in Kansai. It is made from Miyamanishiki produced in the Satomi district of Hitachiota City, where the brewery is located. It is refreshing, but not too spicy or strong, and mainly sweet and easy to drink.

I felt like I was drinking sake! It was very easy to drink and went very well with the pickled yam and octopus with wasabi that we had together! It was very easy to drink!

It is grayish clear, with aromas of cooked rice, honeysuckle, and pear. The attack is rather strong, with mild acidity, moderate sweetness, a hint of bitterness and a rather long finish.

Birthday gift alcohol, Part 2 It's called Sake no Wawa 50 check in. Ibaraki sake that Manachie hasn't had yet😊. It's clear, light, a little bitter and has quite a bit of sake feel to it. A little graininess. It is good to drink with soda or on the rocks. The more you drink red rice or ancient rice sake, the more you realize the greatness of Ine Mangaka 🤔.

Hello bouken 😀 That is a very rare sake 😀. The person who sent you the birthday present knows very well your love for sake 😀. I got Ine Mankai at a sake brewery in Ine and it's amazing!

Hi Yasbay 😃 I think you can only buy it on Amazon in Kansai 😅. I thought Ine Mankai was the most consistent in terms of taste with red rice wine 😊.

Non-sweet nigori sake. It has a clean, refreshing flavor that is typical of honjozo with a slight umami of rice. It is smooth but also has a sharpness.

そうてき
Sake with a clean balance. It also has umami. It has a good sharpness. It does not spoil the taste of the accompaniments. It goes well with light-flavored dishes. Today's dishes are grilled saury, sushi rolls with takana, and miso soup with a lot of ingredients.
