Timeline
soumachoThe other day, Kami and I went to Ondo-cho, Kure City, located on Kurahashi Island, to eat UDON, and this is the brand we purchased during that trip.
The brewery is located in Kurahashi-cho on the same island.
It is a small sake brewery with a production of about 50 koku, which explains why you don't see it very often in Hiroshima City.
Polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 15
100% Hachitan-Nishiki used
The aroma is fresh and slightly fruity.
It has a slightly dry finish with umami, acidity that is not too assertive, and a soft feeling.
It has a classic, old-fashioned taste, but it was easy to drink and easy to pair with food 😊.
The photo shows the 1st Ondo Ohashi Bridge connecting Kure City and Kurahashi Island, and the 2nd Ondo Ohashi Bridge that opened not too long ago (more than 10 years ago).
The loop road from the 1st Ondo Ohashi to the island left a great impression on me as a child and I was excited every time I passed by it 😄. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, soumacho 😃.
Mitani Haru! I saw bouken's tasting repo a while ago and thought I would like to taste such sake there 😌! soumachoGood morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Hiroshima is a very attractive city, and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea are also very attractive.
There are a few islands with bridges that can be reached by car 🚗.
Kurahashi Island is also home to Hana Hato's sake brewery 😊. ポンちゃんHi soumacho 🐦.
I am ashamed to admit that I googled and checked the map 💦Kure is unexplored and I would like to go there 😊I see that there is also a Hana Hato on this island! I'd like to go there even more: ❣️ soumachoHi Pon 😃.
If you want to drive to Kurahashi Island, the Higashi-Hiroshima-Kure road runs from the east, so it's easier to get there than in the past 😊.
I recommend a car because it is an island and there is a bridge to the neighboring Etajima island, so please visit there 🌉.

Hayashi Sake Brewery located on Kurahashi Island in Kure City.
The president is both the director of a hospital and the president of a brewery, and it looks like he's been working both as a hospital and a brewery for three generations!
The current president is a businessman who runs a variety of facilities, including nursing homes and lodging facilities, and is a well-known personality who often appears on TV.
He also has a collection of Rolls Royce, kimonos, hanging scrolls, etc. and runs a museum.
With that preconceived notion, I wondered about the sake. I wondered about the sake, but I was intrigued by the fact that they have a toji who has won first place in a series of sake competitions.
He is also a toji at the Kinbundo Sake Brewery in Yamaguchi Prefecture and a test brewer at the Hiroshima Prefectural Food Industry Technology Center.
Polishing ratio 65%, Hachitan-Nishiki 15%, Sake degree +4, 1560 yen
Classic taste, but neat and well-rounded.
It is spicy but light and a little fruity.
The impression is that it must have been brewed with care. さなDRice used is Hachitan Nishiki
Sake found during an expedition to Hiroshima last November
I didn't know this brand name!
It was like a cask sake and had a kind of nostalgic flavor.
It's nice once in a while! DaiPurchased at a local supermarket during a trip to Kurahashi Town in Kure City. It is a brand not often seen in Hiroshima City (the fourth photo is a spectacular view from a volcano (hiyama) on Kurahashi Island).
It is made by one master brewer (Toji Hirata) in almost the same way as 200 years ago, in one and a half months, and only 5,000 bottles are made per bottle, which is very precious.
At a glance, the bottle looks like a beer bottle😄.
The aroma is fresh and fruity, but when you taste it, it tastes lychee and is refreshingly dry. ☺️
The spiciness and acidity go well together, and it cuts through quickly! BrubeckAki tasted sake from Kurahashi Island.
The classic, clear taste spread softly and gently.
It was a truly delicious sake with a clean taste. とっきーIt has a moderate bitterness and is very tasty!
I had never heard of the brand name Mitani Haru before.
The one I drank this time seems to be a sip from the slightly bottom of a sake barrel.
The alcohol content is high at 17 degrees.
(I wonder why?).
It was my favorite sake, so I will delve into it again! ふふふふTastes quite watery.
It is light and dry, so it is like a sake for the locals. hikarudayoCork was sturdily sealed,
Fizzy,
It's not going to overflow, is it?
When you pull the cork out, it makes a nice popping sound,
It's just delicious.
Now then,
The flavor - there is a bit of bitterness at the end.
The feeling that remains in the mouth is like when you eat grapes,
I was told it goes well with fried oysters, but it also goes well with roast beef,
I would like to drink it with oysters in winter season,
けいけいIt has an astringent and somewhat vintage flavor, and the richness of the unpasteurized sake gives it a dry and refreshing aftertaste. It was delicious with Camembert cheese, but it would also go well with seafood.
I prefer a more robust sake that has been exposed to air at room temperature, so a heated bottle to develop its character would be nice, but I finished the 300ml bottle before trying it.
The sake brewery where the movie "Ginzuru Hashitachi" was filmed. It is nice to drink a classic sake while thinking about sake brewing in Hiroshima. のりたまThis is the first sake from a brewery in Kure, Hiroshima. It is a rather small sake brewery.
It is quite dry with an assertive acidity.
It looks like it would be good warmed up. blueeyes.moonRating: B
Although sugar is listed as an ingredient, it is not sweet at all, partly due to the fact that it is slightly carbonated.
It can be drunk as a food drink. K.NEasy to drink and delicious! 4/5 gakkyysukisuki8It was the sake of Hiroshima which was refreshing, thirst-quenching, and fragrant with the scent of wood. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
