Yumikata-Ho
Rice polishing ratio: 50
This sake is brewed with Yuminariho, a sake rice unique to this brewery.
It is said to be a mother rice of Yamada-Nishiki.
It is fruity and dry. It has a good balance of flavors, although it is more on the acidic side.
It is just right for dry sake drinkers who do not like watery dry sake.
Kawabu, my favorite from last year.
This time I bought the fire-roasted.
It was lined up at room temperature.
But I will drink it chilled.
A little yellowish, but no old incense.
It's a good place to be just before the old incense comes out.
The alcohol is not too strong and it is easy to drink.
It's a good grade, but I feel like it's missing something.
Last week, we went on a brewery tour of Kawatake Brewery, which brews Shiki and Kawabu.
The representative we spoke with at the National Sake Fair was kind enough to meet us!
Thank you very much for sharing with us the history of the brewery and your thoughts on sake brewing 😊.
Here is what I bought at the sales counter 💁.
Cold sake
Juicy aroma of white peach and muscat
Very clear, modern rich type
From the middle to the aftertaste, the umami and sweetness of the rice come out fully.
The aftertaste is rather long.
This is another sake I bought on my trip to Ise 🍶.
This is another sake that is hard to buy, so it was gone in no time 🤣.
Welcome drink at the hotel where we stayed? I drank it at the (paid) hotel and looked for the same one 🤭.
It was delicious ✨

Purchased at an event in Nakameguro
Hmmm😄😄😄😅.
Is this really pure rice ⁉️
Melon or not 🍈😂.
Can pure rice make it this sweet😍.
That's amazing😊😊.
Maybe it tastes better if it's not too chilled to get the sweetness 👍
Fruity, smooth and easy to drink: ☺️
I tried to buy it at Ise City Station, but I have only seen it in Oharaicho..!
I recommend buying it when you find it!
