We tried a Junmai sake this time from Fukuwagura (brewed by Imuraya of Azuki Bar), which was delicious the last time we drank it!
1,980 yen for 720ml including tax.
Polishing ratio 60%.
What's that?
Not as good as the junmai ginjos and junmai daiginjos from Fukuwagura that we have had so far...!
It has a sharp umami and sweetness.
It's not just sweet (it's like a combination of dry and sweet).
Very tasty!
Considering the cost, this is the best solution!
I highly recommend it to everyone!
Naturally, I'm adding it to my favorites.
Postscript
However, Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo are by far superior in terms of fruity aroma. If you want to enjoy the mellow sweetness and aroma of Fukuwagura, junmai ginjo may be better overall.
In any case, you can never go wrong with this sake brewery.
It is said to be Imuraya's sake from the azuki bar.
It has a strong ginjo aroma and is sweet, and if you're not careful, it can go down a swishy road.
I must be careful...
To commemorate the opening of the Shinkansen bullet train, we are participating in the 2nd Bishu Competition 2024 in Fukui this year 😁.
I was told that the sake tasting would feature sake that is hard to find in Fukui, so I joined the event after working the night shift.
First of all, I found a sake that I was interested in, so I opened the event with a drink 🍶.
Fukuwagura Junmai Ginjo
［The sake brewery owned by Imuraya, famous for its Adzuki Bar, so let's see what it's like!
A fruity rice aroma similar to muscat, a smooth, slightly thickened mouthfeel, a sweet umami reminiscent of syrup, a sharp finish, and a sweet aftertaste.
You can feel the brewing quality of an ice cream maker.
I think this may be the first sake I've ever tasted that has this much molassesiness.
［It would be fun to pour it over an adzuki-bar ✨.
Hi Jive, good evening.
It must be very hard for you to attend the big tasting after working the night shift 😲.
I was curious about this sake from Mie, and hearing that it is a sweet sake makes me suddenly want to drink it: ⤴️
Good morning, Jive 😃.
I love azuki bars, so I was curious about the Fukuwagura sake!
I also like sweet sake so I had to try it more and more 🤤.
Pairing with azuki bars sounds interesting too: ☺️
Hi Gyve 😃
I've commented a few times on Sake no Wa here! I love azuki🫘 bar ice cream, even if it's sweet 😋, but I saw it at a liquor store in Chiba the other day and passed on it 😅I'll try to buy it next time👍.
Good morning, ma-ki-san!
I was up at 4:30 the next morning after a night shift of drinking, so I was very sleepy 💦.
I was curious about the sake brewery that was at the tasting, so I had it first 😁.
Hi Aladdin ☀☀☀☀.
I was wondering about you and your love of azuki bars😁.
I talked a little with the guy at the brewery and he said he wanted to express his expertise in making ice cream well ✨.
If you find one, please try it 😋.
Purchased at Tokyo Station out of curiosity.

Fukui Shuzo's Fuku + Imura Wazo's Wazo, the founder of the brewery.
Fukui Sake Brewery + Wazo Imura, the founder of the brewery. The aroma is gorgeous and mild.
Delicious. Kami no Ho 60% 15% from Mie Prefecture
The second item I forgot to give you in summer is summer sake from Fukuwagura.
I had had Imuraya's sake before, so when I went on a business trip to Mie Prefecture, I stopped by an osare facility called Vison and bought some 😆.
This cool light blue bottle, the taste was super refreshing ❗️ the, summer ☀️ small bottle, so it was gone in an instant 😋.
It was so long ago I only have that impression, sorry 💦.
Junmai from Fukuwagura
Gentle sweetness. The aroma may be more subdued than that of junmai ginjo. The balance between the umami of the rice and the sweetness is excellent! The aftertaste is mild and refreshing, and the alcohol is moderate, making it easy to drink.
I couldn't find Junmai Nama at my local liquor store... I'll order it next time!
It has a very gorgeous and intense aroma and a deep, elegant taste with a good balance of acidity and sweetness. It is a fine sake that finishes smoothly with a lingering finish. For me, it was an impeccable and delicious bottle 🤤.

Fukuwagura was recommended to me by a liquor store I sometimes stop by for a sweet sake. It seems to be a sake brewed by the confectionery maker Imuraya. It seems to be highly rated in your postings, so my expectations are high!
The fresh and fruity aroma of muscat, strawberry, and pineapple is gorgeously fragrant. It has a juicy flavor with sweetness and acidity. It also has a delicious and mellow flavor. It was a sake with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It was a great treat!
