This is a sake from Hita City in Oita Prefecture.
Hita is located on the border with Fukuoka.
In the Edo period, it was a tenryo, and the streets and old buildings from that time remain, and it is a great town for a walk🎵.
It's easy to go on a day trip and have fun, so I often go out🚙
The last time I went there, I came across a yuri-jikomi that was delicious.
⤴️This time, I'd like to try autumnal 🍁️.
A modest amount of sweet and sourness
The sourness lasts for a while, then it becomes slightly spicy.
A bit of bitterness and astringency, and then it's all over 😆 .
So many different flavors in one bite😲!
The complex taste is very interesting and makes you want to drink it one after another 😂.
The astringency of sake is also quite nice 😍.
It's not glamorous but it's delicious🎵!
I like it💕💕.
Oh yeah, the water they served at the Hita Yakisoba restaurant I went to for lunch was really good ✨.
This sake tasted just like that water❕😲
Hi Rika, good evening 😃🌃💖
I too love a drink with a bitter taste at the end💓
I love that Rika's choice of alcohol is self-directed and not driven by the people around her 😆💕.
But this one is just too minor lol 😂.
Good evening.
Yuri-jikomi is delicious, isn't it!
It has a high alcohol content, but it's so gorgeous that you don't feel it.
It looks like they're making Omachi rice in their own rice paddies now, so I'm looking forward to the new sake!
Good evening 😆.
Although I'm not very familiar with Kyushu's sake.
I've never seen this brand before😅.
I thought it was a flower yeast when I heard it was brewed with lilies. I thought it was.
but it's not at all lol
Haruei Chichi, this sake seems to be made only in small quantities😅.
I wonder if you can only buy it in Hita~?
If you ever get the chance to visit Hita, give it a try💕.
Maa. 😆 I'm the kind of person who's satisfied with new knowledge about sake, people, breweries and local stories together😅.
So I buy the sake I find when I'm out and about, so I end up with a lot of minor sake 🤣.
Nono-san ❗ Someone understands me 😂😂🎶I'm super happy 🙌🎊
❕Right❕They're so delicious!❤️I can't stop drinking them 😆!
I wonder if the new sake is good too 🎵Next time I want to visit a sake brewery ⤴️
I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of them in the marketplace.
It says on the back label that they only make 200 kilos, so I guess it's not widely available 💡.
Nono-san ❗ Yes, there was a way to pop it 😆.
I took a look at your online store✨.
I'm sure there are many other types of lily jars 🎵 but they were all sold out 😅.
Recently, I've been studying sake from Oita. This is the first time I drank Inoue Shuzo's Yuri-Jikomi.
It is brewed using spring water from the brewery and pressed by hand. When you hold it in your mouth, the gentle aroma and tight sweetness spreads. It is like tasting a small grape.
This is a bottle that blindsided me with its honest deliciousness. It's delicious!
Purchased at Hita Kyokumado Sake Shop
There is a hint of sourness.
It was very delicious with a complex taste.

shogot1987✨ Thank you 😆.
I went out and tasted it and bought it🙆
I heard from the place where I bought it that it was well-received on a TV show at the end of last year!
I also bought some autumn sake recently, so I'm looking forward to drinking it.
There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki.
When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading.
The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures.
When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious!
I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.
Hirotogawa and drinking comparison.
This is my first local sake post.
This is a small tank sake brewed by the only female toji in the prefecture.
The daughter of the current president has returned home to take over the brewing.
It is said that she is involved from the rice cultivation stage, and is particular about the subsoil water that is used for brewing sake.
Since it is a nama-shu, we had it cold.
It is a summer sake, so there is a little bit of lees at the bottom of the bottle.
The aroma is more subdued than Hirotogawa. Almost none?
When you put it in your mouth, there are two waves of sweetness, sourness and bitterness, and then it disappears clearly. The acidity is a little strong, but the elegant sweetness and solid umami are impressive.
However, this sake seems to come into its own at room temperature. As the temperature changes, the presence of the acid becomes less pronounced, and the thickness of the umami and sweetness increases.
To be honest, I wasn't sure how to even compare it to Hirotogawa, but I was surprised! It's so delicious.
The sweetness and clean aftertaste are reminiscent of Shinsei's Lapis. This sake has the potential to become Oita's representative sake!
I'll be supporting it from now on!
