I wanted to try it once, so I compared Ine Mangaka Regular and Nigori. Both have a sweet and sour berry flavor. The nigori has a soft, thick, yogurt-like sweetness. The aroma and sourness of the regular is more gorgeous. As a result, both are delicious.

Maybe for the first time in two years? Ine is in full bloom now.
I had it warmed 🍶.
The first aroma is softly sweet and sour.
The first aroma is softly sweet and sour, and in the mouth it is like a sweet red wine with a strong acidity.
It is crisp and refreshing, probably because it is warmed.
It is sweet and sour, and the sake goes down well.
It was quite delicious 🍶✨️

It is a sake brewed from ancient rice and has a red color. The taste was different from what I expected, with a strong sweetness and acidity. It seems to be a good first sake.
Ancient Rice
It takes courage to buy it alone, though,
I have been curious about Ine Mangaka for a long time.
I found it at an izakaya and chose it.
It's full of sweet and sourness and goes well with the sake 😋.
