I purchased a bottle of Ozawa Shuzojo's "Jyukyu" at the Hasegawa Sake Shop, which I had wanted to try!
I was told that this sake can be enjoyed crisp and refreshing with ice on it during this time of year when autumn sakes are available but the lingering summer heat is still lingering. I had it well chilled!
It was fruity and slightly sour with just the right amount of sweetness. ☺️
The polar bear label is also cute!
I just read the blog of this brewery,
I read on the brewery's blog that they will be reducing production and raising the price due to the rising price of sake rice. It would be sad if such a delicious sake becomes difficult to obtain 🥲I still have some left, so I will savor it and enjoy it carefully!
Hi Hamuko 😃
Congratulations on your cute polar bear 🐻❄️ label and your first 19 ㊗️ 🎉I found a liquor store near me that sells it, but is it sweet? I haven't gotten it yet 😅I have to go buy it before the price goes up‼️
Jay & Nobby, good evening😊I thought it was a little sweet, but I tried it with muscat & cream cheese to be fashionable (lol) and it was so good ︎👍🏻 I'm worried about the price increase of sake 🥲.
I bought it without prior knowledge, attracted by the romantic name and label😍.
It was fire-aged but still fresh and light with a slight acidity ✨.
It was the kind of sake you want to enjoy while looking up at the summer night sky 🌌.

Nanook is the Inuit word for polar bear. It has a clean taste with a tight acidity, a fruity aroma (lychee aroma, slightly melon aroma after a while), gorgeousness, and a delicate acidity typical of Jyuukyu.

Slight sourness and clean sweetness 😚.
The end is bitter, which is a composition I've been drinking a lot lately 🧐.
I was impressed by the clear and crisp taste, and the balance is outstanding 🤗.
I've never heard of this brand.
The label is cute, so I tried it.
It is delicious!
The brand name 19 is before adulthood
It is said to express the thought that there is more to come.

Since it was the 19th, we opened a bottle of "Juhu".
Riccio Riccio means hedgehog in Italian!
The hedgehog on the label is adorable💕!
Fruity aroma
When you take a sip
It's sweet at first
And after a cushion
Then sourness and bitterness come in
and the taste is tightened up.
It goes well with the usual pickles 😘.
I enjoyed drinking it 😋.
Hi, Tsubu 😃.
This looks delicious 😋I recently had a bottle of Jukyu myself and it has a nice balance of sweet and sour and I'd like to try different ones 😁Harinezumi🦔If I see it, I'll immediately itadakimasu itadakimasu ❗️
Hi Hiro 😄
I see you drank the "Tokujun".
When I think of Jyukyu, I had an image of a cat 🐈⬛, but I didn't know there was such a thing as hedgehog 🦔! I'd love to try it 😙 if you see it 😉.
I'd like to try the others too 😋.
