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.
Mukai Sake Brewery is a sake brewery established 260 years ago in Ine-cho, Tango, Kyoto. Mukai Sake Brewery is famous for Ine-machi's red sake "Ine Mankai" made from ancient rice called Murasaki Komachi (red rice), and its brand name "Kyo no Haru". The sake is made by a female master brewer.
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 😋.

I wanted to try this sake, but I found an easy-to-drink size in Kyoto, so I brought it home.
This time, I brought it home on the rocks! The aroma is unusual. It has a sweetness and astringency from the aroma that could be mistaken for red wine. The soft and viscous brewing water, which goes in easily, gives off a sweet and sour feeling that is very intense.
Even the astringent aftertaste is similar to that of red wine. It is too strong to drink as it is, so it is better to drink it on the rocks. Thank you for the food tonight, too!
It is said to be sake made from ancient rice and has a color similar to plum wine!
It has a different flavor and acidity from the sake we usually drink, and I enjoyed it!
