I stopped by this restaurant on a whim.
I asked the owner for a recommendation for my third drink choice.
He recommended this one.
Very interesting!
I had never tasted it before. The red wine-like color is also new to me.
It has an atmosphere of grapefruit, but it also has the feeling of medicine.
It may be a habitual drink, but it is very interesting.
I would like to drink it again!
Forgot to post this 😅
I've been wanting to drink it for a long time and finally came across Ine Mangaka🌸🌸.
When I was in Chiba on business, I talked to the guy at the store and he told me about this limited edition sake, brewed from ancient rice (purple-black rice) with a low rice polishing of 97%.
The first sip, just the supernatant.
The impact was incredible 🤣.
Is this sake? What is this aroma? It's not even wine 💦.
I would say it's a strong habit, but I've never encountered a scent like this before.
Next, let me stir it to mix the oli, and I'll take it. Oh, the aroma is still the same but I feel the texture/throat of rice, so it's a little calmer, not, lol.
Hmmm. What kind of change will happen after this explosion of individuality😓?
I wonder how it will change after this. Because it has settled down? I don't know why, but it's addictive 🤣.
I'm sure you'll like it or dislike it, but if you're interested 👀.
If its bright red appearance is unusual, its taste is also unusual.
It is made from ancient rice and is quite sweet and sour.
It is like drinking a very good Shaoxing wine.

Rare red 🟥 colored sake 🍶.
It has sweetness and acidity at its core and goes down your throat clean and smooth.
The color makes it seem like a red wine🍷😅.
It tastes like grapes🍇 and reminds me of small, sweet & sour fruits.
You can drink it like a juice😙.
Since water is also chilled in the refrigerator at this time of year, the space for cooling four-pack bottles is reduced, so Ine Mankai, which is stored at room temperature, is a great help.
Finally, this time, I bought two bottles.
At Mimasu.
I secured this sake because it happened to be on sale at a liquor store near the Gardens!
This is the sake that got me interested in sake.
When I went to Ine-cho carrying my camera on a photo trip a long time ago, I happened to see it at dinner and ordered it by accident.
It was the first time for me to order sake! I remember it shattering my stereotype that sake was not tasty.
So, I always keep a bottle of Ine-Manbairaki whenever I see it.
It has a sweet and sour taste with a touch of astringency, and it is a unique sake like a sweet wine (or is it more like grape juice?). If you serve it in a glass without talking, you probably wouldn't think it was sake.
Maybe my world is too small, but I think this taste is unique as a sake.
I also included the view of Ine Town that I took at the time (I was using a smartphone at the time, so the picture quality is not that great...).
Good morning, kei 😃.
It's nice to have a memorable sake 🍶😌.
Ine town is far from Kanto but it's one of the places I'd like to visit 🥹I'd like to taste Ine full bloom there 😚.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments! ( * ॑ ॑*)
Whenever I find a memorable sake, I just buy it.
It's quite a long way from Kanto & transportation is not convenient, but Ine-cho is a very nice place!
Bright red liquor.
It has a strong visual impact!
It is rather tasty with a sweet and sour and refreshing taste, but it is a different drink from sake.
I think it can be served on the rocks or with a sour.
This sake incorporates a rosé wine style with a bright color that is quite strong in koji-based acidity and sweetness. The yellow koji? The sake-like taste due to the yellow koji enhances its compatibility with food, which I personally like a lot!
