The brewery is located in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, near the Kozaemon brewery.
It is a small brewery, so its nationwide distribution is small.
The sake rice is Omachi. The ginrei aroma is weak and the mouthfeel is dry.
I bought this Wakaba unfiltered sake in the summer and felt it was still young, so I let it sleep in the closet.
It has a good balance of flavor, with the punch of unfiltered sake, but without losing the simple country feel of Wakaba.
I put it in the closet again, but it was good enough.
It's not Wakaba, but Higuchi Shinyo, a triple axel that is anything but rustic!
The ROC is still very difficult, but I hope the Japanese will do their best to get on the podium!
Shinjo-san, every time❗️
I was wondering for a moment what the composite image was 😁.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
Mr. Haruei Chichi, thank you very much.
A composite of young leaves and new leaves...isn't it?
I was waiting for this day to coincide with it.
I'm sorry to the players that I'm always thinking of stupid things like this.
Daiginjo Sannen Kuranai Secret Sake
Yogurt, sour cream, pear
pear, white peach
It has a concentrated sweetness like sugar boiled down like kompeito, a lactic acidity, and a strong aroma that comes through the nose.
I want to drink it without chilling too much.
It would be good with Chinese dishes with strong flavors, such as sweet and sour pork with black vinegar, or blue cheese.
The mid-autumn moon...
I'm glad it was so bizzare yesterday.
Today is not the best in my area and I'm disappointed, but the moon goes well with sake!
Well, whether it's the snow, the sea, the mountains, or the cherry blossoms, I'll drink anything!
At times like this, I like to have something to go with my dumplings.
I found something at home that was on sale for 100 yen.
It's a bottle of Wakaba's Junmai-shu, a special sake made this year for 1,800 yen.
The contents are close to Wakaba's Junmai-shu.
I can't get enough of the hay flavor!
It also has a sense of ripeness.
When it is warmed up, it has a more withered flavor.
When you drink it, you can see the beautiful scenery of Mizunami.
I have a complex because I was born in Osaka, a place with a lot of chaos.
In Osaka, "boke" is used instead of punctuation marks, and "oraa" is used instead of reading marks.
I'd rather drink something from the mountains than the sea.
Although it is a small-scale sake brewery, the price is the same as that of a major sake brewery, which makes me worry if it is okay.
For some reason, Suntec sent me a box of Hakutsuru, which is really cute and makes me want to buy it, even though the shipping cost is not so bad!
They also offer tastings, so if you think about it, it's rather cheap.
Shinjou-san, every time❗️
I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know what you think.
Typical Japanese👍.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know. (^. ^)
Every time (omega) Mr. Haruei Chichi.
It's so cute that it makes me want to visit the actual store!
I couldn't help but post a picture of it.
I think I'm still taking a break from drinking at the moon...
I can enjoy western sweets, but as I became an old man, I prefer Japanese sweets.
Or maybe it's because it goes better with sake than old age...
Young leaves of Hiyaoroshi.
Moderately mellow aroma.
Dry, but from the second sip, a mellow flavor spreads.
It's interesting that the taste of sake differs between the first and second sips.
This is an original product from Suntec, a liquor store in Gifu Prefecture (...).
When I looked at the website, it was sold out, so I asked if they still had it on the brewery's website, and they called me directly to ask for more information, and they got it in right away!
It arrived in less than two days after I asked, which is great!
The president of Wakaba is a very nice person, and many reviews on the internet talk about the personality of the president!
I also appreciate that Santek gave me a tasting as an added bonus!
The taste is deep and simple like a young leaf, and it has a gentle sharpness.
When paired with a meal, it even has a sense of playing a supporting role, as if to say, "I'm a supporting role.
It's best served lukewarm, or if it's cold, after it's been heated and cooled.
I'm glad I bought it, even though it's expensive for me at 1,800 yen for a four-pack!
Wakaba is a minor brewery, but as far as I'm concerned, it can be an ace or a number four!
Like Chiben Wakayama, the ace and number four do a good job.
And, I'm going to connect it to Koshien forcibly and excruciatingly!
Mr. Kazuhiko Ohta is on location in Kisarazu
It was shaking with the unusually good fish of Boso!
The golden horse mackerel is phenomenally delicious.
I swear, the first time I tasted it, I screamed.
It's been a long time since I've been away, so I was really excited.
Shinjo-san, every time❗️
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not ❗️
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.
|Haruei Chichi, every time!
I'm so happy to hear that it's only available at liquor stores.
I couldn't help but buy it, but the shipping cost...
I really felt like Nakanishi was a pitcher who could win!
He's going pro, so I'm looking forward to seeing what type of pitcher he becomes!
Kisarazu, or rather Boso, is a bad place!
I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but wherever I ate without any preliminary research, it was super delicious!
Good morning 😃.
I'm sure Kyushu is no stranger to seafood, but Boso, especially Uchibo, is very close to Tokyo... 👍
I think it would be really fun to drink and dance in Boso!
Kyushu is so rich in food other than seafood that I tend to go there to eat (´ω・`).
There are so many kinds of good food that I can't get around!
Boso is by the sea, and Kominato and Isumi railways that run through the middle of the island are fun!
Mr. Haruei Chichi ( ,,>ω-́ )
Showa retro is massive and the sound is brave and I love it!
Modern high performance is good but disappointing when traveling
Retro cars somehow match the countryside scenery
But it takes time from Kyushu to Chiba.
Good evening, Shinjo-san.
I've been to Boso, it's great👍.
You can take a look at some of the best cars in the country from here
I have an impression that the fish around Tateyama is also very good.
Good evening (๑´ ³`).
I went backwards and visited all the funny ones like Chibanin!
I was going to tour the hot springs, but I also toured the seafood!
Tateyama has changed my image of Tokyo Bay.
Now Kanto is the place to go to eat fish!
Wakaba" Special Junmai Gohyakumangoku
2nd time
Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture Wakaba Co.
Raw rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Sake content: +3
Alcohol content: 15.5
It has a light sweetness and a robust flavor that you would expect to be light and refreshing.
The flavor remains the same from cold to warm.
Straightforward sake from Tadashi.
Japanese sake soaked plum wine
Sake made by Wakaba Shuzo in Gifu Prefecture
It is sweet because it contains sugar.
If you mix it with another rice wine...
You can enjoy just the right sweetness and sourness.
A good sake to cleanse your palate😆.
It's a three-year-aged Daiginjo ──=≡Σ(((((ツ̀ω-́)ツ)))
It is good to feel the graininess of Daiginjo.
Wakaba has a slightly aged flavor to begin with, so this one is even more robust!
It has a little acidity, so it is juicy.
As the brewer explains, "make sure you get the five tastes right," and it makes sense when you let it crawl around in your mouth and taste it thoroughly!
It is very mellow when heated!
I don't often buy Daigin class sake, so the price of 3,000 yen scares me!
When I had an extra income and bought a 10,000 yen bottle of Fat or Fat Beck's a long time ago, I was so scared that I started sweating and felt nauseous before drinking it.
Izakaya is also getting more severe, and this time, Mr. Ota seemed to be really serious.
Shinjo-san, maido🤗
I've never had such an elaborate premium sake before❗️It's a real luxury to be able to taste all the sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and umami
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
Haruei Chichi, this is Maido.
I'm saving money for a while.
I'm a very small citizen and I only do this once a year.
I'm a fan of this brewery, so I bought it even though I was hyperventilating, but it's hard to find in other places
Mizunami city, Gifu pref.
Raw Rice: Bizen Omachi
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees
Sake degree: 2
Bizen Omachi is a refreshing, full-bodied, clean Omachi.
It is a serious sake with no excesses.
It should be served a little cooler than too cold.
It's not too cold.
Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture
Rice used: Hida Homare 15%.
Asahi no Yume 85
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Sake meter: +2.0
Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees
The locally grown Uruchi rice "Asahi no Yume" is polished to a high level because the rice itself is hard. This rice has few peculiarities for a sake rice, and the fullness of Hida Homare can be fully felt. It is a sake that is refreshing when warmed up, has a slightly old-fashioned taste (in a good way), is well balanced with the price, and shows the personality of President Ito.
It is a different label from Wakaba Special Honjozo, but the contents are the same ( -̀ω-́)☆
Wakaba is a perfect sake, but this Special Honjozo is the best!
It has a rich taste like a withered grass, without much acidity or astringency.
The taste does not change drastically depending on the temperature, but it is perfect at any temperature!
We didn't have a brewery opening this year either, and Gw was staying at home, so we splurged on Wakaba 3 year old and Honjozo, and to celebrate, Mr. Ota did a skit for the first time in a while!
I've never been to Yanaka in Tokyo, but it's a fascinating place.
I want to go there when the Shinkoro is gone!
Shinjo, every time❗️
A celebratory skit!
I've never experienced Wakaba, but I'm sure it's an interesting drink for the experts❓
I've never been to a place like this before, but I'd love to visit the Tokyo of the Showa era 😊.
Holy shit, Haruei Chichi, thank you every week.
Wakaba is very simple, and it's very popular with aging lovers.
It doesn't have any peculiarity at all, but it doesn't have any impact either.
The taste may be retro Showa era.
I've always liked Showa retro, but I tend to go to the provinces!
Mr. Ota's explanation of the buildings made me think that Tokyo is also good!
I would have gone as far as Ueno, but at the time I couldn't imagine going any further!
It's been a while, Wakaba-san.
Freshly squeezed is good after all❗️.
It's 18 degrees, so it's undiluted sake
You can enjoy it with a moderate taste and a slight bitterness like Wakaba, and a lingering aftertaste (^^)
I visited this sake brewery once, but you can listen to a fun story, so it's a must ❗️
It is honest. It's not flashy and self-assertive, but honestly made to go along with your daily dinner. Looking back on the tumultuous years in the past, the sake is so delicious that you can't help but wonder if this is how it was in the past. When it is warmed up against the human skin, the flow of time slows down and it soaks into the body and mind. This is a good sake. It must have been brewed slowly and deliberately and allowed to rest. Rice flavor, round sweetness and sourness, and a hint of maturation aroma softly. A core that is not driven by maturity, fumegin and trends. Taste the sincerity of the brewer's heart. Take your time.
