I purchased this sake at a recent Harushika event.
This is the first sake that we have tried at Harushika. It is a sake brewed with "Kotobukinmoku" rice.
It is a cross between Yamada-Nishiki and Yume-Ichiken rice. This rice is also used for Eiko Fuji and Wakanami.
Harushika said it might be limited to this time only, so we took it home.
I'm going to eat it now.
It has a sweet~~~ aroma.
In my opinion, this sake is classified as a rich fruit type sake that tastes good even with ice.
It is indeed sweet. However, it also has an excellent balance with the acidity.
The alcohol content is 17%, but I don't mind it so much.
This is delicious!
I put one ice cube in it.
I think it is a refreshing summer sake. It is delicious!
It is a four-stage sake brewing process.
The rice is Hinohikari produced in Nara Prefecture.
It has a sweet and fruity taste. It was very delicious!
Mr. Kusano told us many interesting stories.
He told us that nine people make sake at the brewery. Wow!
I heard that the brewery that Harushika-san is good friends with is "Saku-san"! Wow!
Seibei Imanishi Shoten and Mr. Imanishi of Mimuro Sugi have nothing to do with each other even if you go back in time. Hee!
And he gave me his autograph! Yay!
I told him about my love for Nara sake.
I would like to visit the brewery again.
It was the best sake party ever. Thank you to everyone at the restaurant and Mr. Kusano!
Hi Pekkaal, I'm so glad to hear that😃.
Great drinks and fun stories😄!
Hee hee hee and it was a spring of spring deer 🤗.
What was your best Nara sake love 🥰?
Hi Masaaki Sapporo! My phone cover is now in Nara Sake specs! What a waste to put it on.... My everyday use is a sky blue phone cover. My signature is on my competition phone cover, lol.
Hello, Jay & Nobby!
Spring in Harushika is Spring in Kasuga Taisha. Hee.
The wooden vat was sweet and fruity and gut!
The wooden vat has been used for 40 years. So how about "it smells slightly of wood~" lol. hehe
It's a summer raw sake~!
Gorgeous aroma. Fresh and refreshing.
The sweetness is just right!
Very delicious!
We had it with Hichimaru's grilled pork and seared ray fins.
Hi Pekkar 🍶.
What an event that makes me want to start dancing 🤗 How many different kinds of drinks can we have? I am so envious. Oh, I want to drink some Spring Deer 😋.
Hello, Attached Mourning God!
Yes, it was! This event made me want to dance with yeast!
6 kinds of 60ml. It was accompanied by delicious snacks~!
Above all, I enjoyed Mr. Kusano's talk!
This sake is also available only at the retailer.
It is made from a blend of two types of yeast.
It is fruity but firm.
Fruity taste. They are all delicious!
I enjoy Mr. Kusano's stories!
Oooh, delicious!
What a surprise, it is a sake made from only the first part of the onizan when it is pressed.
It is a limited distribution sake. It's a luxurious sake!
It went well with Awaji chicken sandwiches and smoked Narazuke pickles!
It was so delicious.
It is a super spicy Spring Deer.
I hear it is called "Haru-chou. I will start calling it that from today.
The label is pink. The standard version has gold letters.
The chutori, which is bottled without pressure, is said to be released only once a year. They say there are only a few of them.
It is a delightful cup~!
I heard that Gohyakumangoku rice is suitable for dry taste.
I see...I can learn a lot from that!
It has a robust flavor, but is very easy to drink.
Hi Pekka Ru 😃
Harushika! I've never had it so I'll refer to your review 😙.
-100 spark 🤍 to super hot 😳 is too high and low to get a summer cold 🤧😆.
Maybe I'm lucky it wasn't in reverse order 🤗
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Heck Shun!
Harushika is a super spicy image. I was surprised at the variety of sake available!
I am happy to use my S point card which can be used at Hankyu Hanshin group from this day on. Hee.
I went to the "Harushika Limited Sake Party" hosted by a sake shopーー!
My favorite Nara sake.
We had 6 kinds of limited edition sake.
The commentary was given by Mr. Kusano, who came from the brewery. He seemed to be having a lot of fun!
Here is the first glass. It is a sparkling sake.
It's so sweet and sour with a sparkling taste.
The sake level is said to be around -100! Amazing!
The cute label is said to be useful as a toast at weddings!
I see.
On this day, too, a train and a deer🦌 collided💥.
It was around 8:30 p.m. when I arrived in Obihiro
I'm sorry it's so late, do you mind if I come in?
I was told to come in, so I did.
A group of customers ahead of me
The place is crowded!
Let's have a drink at the counter!
The owner gave us three different kinds of sake to compare.
The first one is Nara sake, which was served to us when we first came to the restaurant.
It has a little bit of a habit, doesn't it?
Well, I enjoyed it with a side dish.
A little bit of information about the sake
Alcohol content: 18%.
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Sake meter: +13
This is a gem with a refreshing mouthfeel and a rich umami taste that goes down your throat.
I like too much the crisp rice flavor unique to Harushika.
