A small sake brewery newly licensed to produce sake in 2021 and founded on the banks of a lagoon rich in nature
LAGOON BREWERY Inc.
With the motto of "Exciting and Diverse Tastes," the brewery also values sustainability and uses naturally grown rice, black locust, and tomatoes as ingredients in its brews.
✳︎
This craft saké is brewed with rice and the Japanese herb kuromoji.
Kuromoji has a fresh, floral aroma.
The spicy taste was great, from the initial thickening to a slight spiciness after drinking.
This is my first craft saké in my life. I had been daring to stay away from it, but in order to have my own stance on it, I took the plunge and bought it 🍶 The liquor store told me that craft saké with hops is a good introduction to it, so I chose this one.
I was surprised by its purplish body! The taste was also unique, neither sake nor any other sake, but it is a good sake in that it is easy to drink. ☺️
<Details
Grapes in both aroma and appearance. It has the sense of a kyoho grape with a strong upper aroma and a little bit of cemedine smell mixed in.
Contrary to the mellow aroma, the taste is watery. Although there is no sense of the 14% alcohol content, it felt like a new genre of sake, neither sake nor any other type of sake.
This is also a craft saké
There's melon in it 🍈.
Some of them I didn't get a chance to photograph.
Some of the sakes are not shown here.
I think I drank about 4 cups 🌀
Light, sweet, fragrant sake
Light, fluffy, gentle hop aroma
Slightly sweet, with a pleasant hop astringency and acidity
Hop sake from Lagoon.
It has a different taste from the previous Fukushima Lagoon.
It tastes like a beer cocktail because it doesn't use flower yeast.
Craft saké made with muskmelon. The image is like a melon shake for adults.
It has the flavor and sweetness of melon soda.
I think it's a rare one, but I don't think I'll try it again. I usually drink melon soda.

Shozora Drunken Melon 2024
A slightly melon but dry melon.
Shozora HOP SAKE Hoppe
Very citrusy, not too hoppy.
I asked if the label had changed, since the three previous bottles I had had abstract labels, but this one seemed to be the same from the beginning.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Kame-no-o
Rice polishing ratio: 80
Except for the use of steamed rice for the mother of sake, the rest of the dobrok is made entirely from koji rice.
It has a very carbonated, squashy feeling.
Sake is easy to drink, with a fruity lychee-like flavor, but not much in the way of characteristics.
Sounds like grapes.
I can't get into making new sake brews, basically because of the blockage in the industry.
But, I'm taking a little bit out of sake with craft and putting in hops.
Hops is a citrus aroma.
It gives it a greenish aroma.
= It makes it smell like grapefruit.
That's why I served it with yellowtail.
Yellow-tail is a fish that is in the process of becoming a fish.
Grapefruit is added to this yellowtail.
We are drinking at this hour.
