Ni-Rabbit: Year of the Rabbit Zodiac Bottle Noon 2026 HORSE&RABBIT Shiboritate Unpasteurized Sake
Rated 4.4
Alcohol content: 15%.
This sake is much sweeter than usual, with a strong sense of umami. A sharp spiciness follows in the latter half, and the fine gasiness is nicely integrated. Strawberry aroma.
The mouthfeel is like a "horse" running through the bottle, leaving a sharp and pleasant aftertaste that is typical of Nitoshi. Overall, it feels light and refreshing.

Despite the unfortunate rain today, there was a long line at the Maruishi Brewery's tri-monthly sales event,
I got there 40 minutes early and found several bottles already sold out.
I immediately went for the super freshly pressed cask sake.
I'm not sure if this combination is good, but it's okay.
It's delicious anyway.
I went shopping today 🎍 including sake for New Year's 🍶😁.
Let's start with the standing aroma. The aroma is sweet like a pear. In the mouth, you can taste more sourness reminiscent of strawberries than sweetness. Finally, a good amount of bitterness along with a unique grain-like flavor refreshes the palate.
Serve with pork cutlet. The sweetness of the fatty pork and the flavor of the meat is combined with the subtle sweetness of this sake and the plump deliciousness that is typical of Omachi. Delicious 😁.

It's been a long time since I've seen two rabbits! I thought it was two wolves, but it is two wolves, lol.
I received Erwolf. It's a complete jacket purchase✌.
The aroma is mild, but it smells like muscat.
In the mouth, it has a refreshing sweetness and a nice astringency that you can feel gradually 😊.
Yes, it's delicious!
The specs are a "secret" lol.
The scallops were grilled with butter, and while the sake itself had a delicious flavor, the astringency washed away the rocky taste nicely, making it a good match👍.
Of course, you can't go wrong with Ni-Rabbit, no matter what you drink!

Crisp, sweet, and indescribably delicious 😋.

Rating 4.4-4.5
Alcohol: 16%, Rice: Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio: 65
Light, yet full of the robust flavor of Yamadanishiki.
It has a fresh, crisp mouthfeel with the youthful aroma of new sake. The moderate umami of Yamada-Nishiki rice is well balanced, and the quality of the sake makes it easy to pair with food.
Light, slightly fruity. Slightly dry.
