For my first saké, I chose Tamitsu's "Malic acid" (apple acid) 🍶.
True to its name, it is a refreshing sake with a harmony of acidity and umami like an apple liquor 😊.
The bottle design looks like a wine bottle.
It is very juicy and low alcohol sake that you can easily drink on its own. It will sink into your summery body over the weekend 😁.
Good evening, Dai-san.
Congratulations on your first Mie sake!
I also remember receiving this sake last year and it was perfect for summer 🎵.
I'm sure a good sake will help you recover from the summer fatigue ✨Please take your time and relax🍀.
Hayakawa Sake Brewery, Komono-gun, Mie Prefecture - Summer Bourru
Seasonal limited edition sake from the famous Tamitsu brewery
The word "bourru" means "nigori" in Japanese.
It is a light nigori sake with a refreshing acidity and sweetness, rich in aroma and suitable for summer.
It is a refreshing type of sake with no heaviness.
Sendai (1)
I was in Sendai for work from yesterday to today.
After arriving in Sendai the day before yesterday, I tried to find a nice place to have a drink on the Internet, but I got lost and went to an unknown restaurant by myself,
The moment I entered the restaurant, I knew it was expensive 😅! I knew it was expensive the moment I entered the restaurant😅.
There was no menu and I was asked "Do you have anything you don't like? They said "We only leave it to you".
I answered the usual "No broccoli", but this is a yakitori restaurant!
I was told that they have a separate sake menu, so I asked for it, and they had some sake that looked good, but there was no Miyagi sake among the dozen or so...
And many of the sakes are quite unique? Like craft sake, fresh sweet, and quite sour. 、、、、
Maybe it's personal taste, but many of them are good to drink by themselves, but do you think they go well with yakitori?
I think so...,
In this lineup, I'd have to go with Tamitsu.
It has a sweet taste of rice, but it's clean and not too sweet.
I like this for yakitori 🤔.
My work colleague set up a dinner party @ Osaketo and Kagurazaka to accommodate my love of sake on this day.
The restaurant has a sake tasting master and stocks a large variety of sake! One of the sake recommended to us was Tamitsu.
Slightly effervescent with a fruity banana aroma. Tastes like wine!
Alcohol 15%.
Rice Polishing Ratio (%) 60

This was the third sake at Hayakawa Shuzo, which brews Tamitsu.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo of Omachi.
The Junmai Daiginjo has a fine aroma that is not too gorgeous, and the aroma of Omachi rice is beautiful and very intoxicating.
The taste has a different intensity from the special junmai, very clean and fine, yet the firm sweetness of the rice is pleasantly in harmony with the acidity, and a firm umami can also be felt, and it finishes nicely.
The aftertaste is also long and wonderful.
The special junmai brought out all the flavor of Omachi, while the junmai daiginjo brought out the best parts of Omachi.
It was wonderful.
I was not told about it on the spot, so I was uninformed, but this was a gold medal-winning sake from the National New Sake Competition of 2023BY.
I noticed it when I saw the photo at the time of this posting.
The sake brewer did not boast about it, nor did he put his nose to it (although I like that kind of brewery). I fell in love with Mr. Hayakawa, who talked about sake politely with a soft expression on his face, and this sake.
It would be expensive to buy it, but I want to buy it.
Thank you very much for your hospitality 🍶.

The second sake at Hayakawa Shuzo, which brews Tamitsu, was an Omachi junmai ginjo.
The rice polishing ratio is 50%, a little more polished than special junmai.
The aroma is not that spectacular, but it is more beautiful with less rice aroma than that of special junmai.
The taste is also more beautiful than Tokusyujunmai, and yet, as is typical of Tamitsu, the sweetness and umami of the rice can still be felt and is still delicious. ☺️
The special junmai is more intense or more aggressive, so the junmai ginjo that I drank right after it may be a little less impressive.
The aroma is also moderate for a junmai ginjo, and I thought it was perfect for Japanese cuisine that makes the most of light ingredients.

Hayakawa Shuzo brews Tabika.
The brewery is a pure rice brewery and presses all of their sake in a tank.
Mr. Toshihito Hayakawa, the head brewer, visited the brewery.
When I asked him which sake he recommended, he said, "We focus on Omachi, so please try Omachi! I asked him which sake he recommended, and he replied, "We focus on Omachi, so please drink Omachi!
We started with the special junmai.
It tasted like all the flavors of Omachi were honestly expressed.
I (personally) have the impression that some Omachi sake tends to be acidic, but this one had none of that and tasted like "Omachi🌾" in a straightforward manner. ☺️
The aroma and taste have no unpleasant parts or corners, yet the strength of Omachi can be felt, and the slight bitterness is also intoxicating, just like Tokujun. ☺️
I have always liked Tamitsu, but there is nothing like meeting the master brewer, listening to his stories, and having him pour the sake for you 🍶.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃!
Tamitsu is delicious, isn't it? ☺️ It's the kind of sake that brings out the best of Oumachi, which I want to enjoy with a meal without any pretension, and combined with Mr. Hayakawa's personality, it all became very clear to me 😊.
It's been a long time since I've been to Tamitsu.
The standard word "Tamitsu" is not shown.
I bought it because I found a label that I couldn't tell it was Tamitsu at first.

I heard they use a yeast that contains malic acid (triple yeast MLA-12).
When I drank it,
It really has an apple aroma and refreshing acidity.
It is pleasant.
Well, it may be a bad analogy, but
It's like a green apple juice with very little juice.

On a hot summer day
I can drink it in a gulp on a hot summer day.
I enjoyed it very much 🙏.
Purchase price ¥1980(720ml)
It's home drinking 🎵
My favorite tamitsu to drink after a long time! Probably the first Kiamu.
As soon as the bottle is opened, it has a fruity aroma that is typical of Tamitsu!
I think it's not too sweet when drunk by itself.
I bought some mackerel heshiko from Fukui when I was back home the other day and it tasted sweet ⤴️⤴️ delicious 😋.
Hi Ao 🐦.
I thought you were reviewing another one, but I've never seen Tamitsu ‼️ "Kiame" before 😳 It looks delicious during a meal! Most importantly, the mackerel heshiko 😻I actually like it better than funazushi 😆.
