The wooden vat pressing seems to be a very careful and labor-intensive process. Aroma of maturity, like brown sugar, fills the nose. It makes you salivate a little. It has a nuance of matured sake, a soft mouthfeel with a rich umami flavor, and a sourness that makes the tongue feel tight. It has the same 15% alcohol as Kinjaku, but Haru has a gentler alcohol taste and is easier to drink ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️. 🌅🌅

Yasui Sake Brewery's Ikuhashidataro, a sake brewed using the raw yeast method. The sake shop recommended this limited-edition sake made with the finest Shiga Prefecture Ginbukietsu. It had a fruity aroma, umami, acidity, and was refreshing. It was delicious and gone in no time.

Very fruity, with a gulp of sweetness and a long finish, like a sweet white wine.　The sweet and sour taste is like red fruits such as strawberries.

Hot sake. Aromas of alcohol and rice mingle softly, lime-like. The texture is smooth and smooth. The rice has a rich umami and sweetness with a firm feel. The acidity is a bit sharp. The aroma of rice is relaxing and lingers for a long time. A bit of bitterness at the end tightens it up. It is delicious. Cost performance. Taste 4/5

It is difficult to describe, but the aroma reminds me of mushrooms or wet forest...or maybe it is the taste 🙄 The aroma reminds me of melon, apple and apricot, with a strong acidity and richness. It has a chili-like flavor and is rather refreshing to drink. I'll try it again 🚙.

It has a slight sense of aging, but not enough to be bothersome, and has a mild umami and a tangy spiciness. It is not in the image of Shiga sake's umakuchi (flavorful) taste, but it is good in general. It has a mild maturity with little character, so it is suitable for a wide range of dishes except sashimi. It tastes better warmed than cold. It's not what you would expect from Shiga sake, though.

At Kakuuchi, a liquor store I frequent, I told him that it was too hot this summer and I didn't feel like drinking sake, The staff recommended it to me, saying, "This is delicious with soda! The staff recommended it to me! First of all, just as it is! It's 16%, but it's light 😋. but it's full of juicy fruity sensations😍! Now, with soda. 1:1 is recommended. It adds the shwashiness you love, lowers the alcohol content, and makes it easier to drink. ⤴️ But the juicy fruity taste is still there: ❣️ Next summer I can drink more sake with soda 😆😆⤴️⤴️

Hi Rika 😃. This summer heat 🥵 is especially bad for outside drinking and sake 😓, and soda is a nice ❗️ way to enjoy summer 🤗.
