Sake in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture
(The brewery is located in Taki Town)
Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Mie Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 40
Alcohol content: 15%.
The sake is made by Imuraya, a famous sake brewer in Mie Prefecture, and everyone gets excited when they hear that it is made by Imuraya.
［Memories of Fukuwagura.]
Imuraya has built a sake brewery in Vison, Mie, where they make sake, and I immediately bought a bottle of Fukuwagura Junmai Daiginjo to drink after returning to the hotel.
There is a glass of wine, mellow aroma and sweet taste. Very easy to drink.
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Mie Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 40
Alcohol content: 15%.
It has been a long time since I have seen Fukuwagura. I could only purchase a small bottle, but it is a satisfying taste. It has a full-bodied and umami taste, and is not sweet or dry, but well-balanced.
★ "Fukuwakura" is a very popular brand of Japanese sake.
It has a fruity aroma with a strong mellow flavor.
The aftertaste is dry, crisp, and delicious.
Matching is better with light dishes such as sashimi than with salty food.
Sweet food is not a good match either.
Mie Sake Party (9)
Booth of Imuraya Corporation and Fukuwagura.
This time they brought all fire-brewed. They want to compete without hanging on to the azuki bar.
◉Junmai
Citrusy aroma, fresh and fruity on the palate. So much fruity in the hi-ire.
Junmai Daiginjo
The nose is also fresh, fruity and extremely tasty. It is not sweet, but has a full-bodied acidity and a clean, crisp taste.
I forgot to take a picture...
Junmai Ginjo
Another fresh, fruity, freshly brewed sake.
The Fukuwagura was fresh and fruity, which I liked.
When I mentioned the sake store I had bought it from, the person at the brewery who helped me said that he shares the same last name as the owner of the sake store.
I was curious about this sake.
I heard it was made by Imuraya, the maker of the hard adzuki-bar.
It is not hard. It tastes slightly sweet and is delicious!
Due to a sudden change in my work schedule, I had a three-day weekend from the 8th to the 10th, so I dropped my child off at daycare and went to Tokuji Sake Shop (Kusatsu and Konan) and Takatsu Sake Shop in Shiga Prefecture to visit liquor stores a little further away.
My main goal was to drink "Akabu", which I have been wanting to drink for a long time, but there were many other sake brands that I was interested in, and I found myself looking for more.
In the end, I bought 3 bottles including "Akabu" and will review them in the future. ✨️
I put the large catch of sake in the cellar and opened this one, which had been sleeping in the back for a long time 🍶 and had a drink with it.
Fukuwakura Junmai Ginjo
First time drinking at Mie Sake House.
［In a glass.]
The aroma is full of ginjo aroma, a slight gassy feeling on the tip of the tongue, and a mellow sweetness that spreads to the palate, followed by a bitter taste that finishes with a gentle aftertaste and lingering bitterness on the tongue.
［Mokkiri.]
The aroma is also full of ginjo aroma, and the mouthfeel is slightly gassy, with a smooth umami sweetness that finishes with a gentle lingering bitterness that is felt in the back of the throat at the end.
We also had some "Mie Nakatoro (medium fatty tuna)" and "Engawa Oshizushi (pressed sushi)" which were in stock at the fish shop, and we got some "Akafuku" which we wanted to pair with it at the service area on the way to the restaurant.
［Akafuku is not so good because of the strong alcohol taste after the sweetness, but the brown sugar taste of the Adzuki Bar is intoxicating!
The fourth one is [dry curry] 🍛 that I usually order on the night shift.
I thought about it a lot and thought this would be another curry activity 🤔.
I can't stand the spicy hotness of the curry powder [red can] that seems to be in abundance 🥰.
Good evening, Mr. Gyves.
I've been busy, so it was nice to have an occasional holiday? Yes, it was.
And you're doing a great job with your drinking 🤗.
I'm looking forward to seeing which one is the Akabudamono 😋.
I haven't tried Fukuwagura, but it would be fun to pair it with an azuki bar 😍.
Good evening, Jive-san!
Jive-san's entrée always looks delicious... Fukuwagura-san's sake looks well-balanced too... S&B's red can! I get the impression that you have a lot of fans when you also have a food log 😊.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Jive-san is flexible to sudden change of schedule and sake activity, great 👍I'm quite curious about Engawa's pressed sushi 🤤Is Imuraya the same as Imuraya of azuki bar? I haven't studied enough... 🙏.
Hi Jive 🐦.
Thanks for the sake activity in Kusatsu😊I hope you found a lot of brands you don't usually see, I look forward to your review🎶.
Dry curry is definitely a curry activity too 😆 I often make it using red cans too!
Good evening Gyve 🍦.
I thought for a minute that something sweet would go with the sweet drink, but an azuki bar would go well with it 😂.
Dry curry looks delicious!
Good evening, Jive 😃.
Thanks for the liquor store expedition 🚙! It's a pleasant exhaustion 😄.
I found this Imuraya sake at a liquor store in Chiba! I found it at a liquor store in Chiba 😳I thought it might be too sweet so I haven't brought it to you yet😅.
Hi ma-ki-, ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm moving on holiday on shift, so the wrinkles are happening again, but I enjoyed this situation first 🥰.
We handled more than one "Red Takeshi" but we went with the seasonal one and will open it by the end of September ✨.
Hello ichiro18, ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your encouraging comment as I try to enjoy drinks including pairing them with food 🥰.
［There's a good reason why [red can] is a long seller: ✨️
Hi HinaHanaMama!
If it's a consecutive holiday, I'll spend both days training, but if it's a three-day weekend, I can do sake activities and outings, so it feels even more special 🥰.
Yes, Imuraya of [azuki bar] has bought a sake brewery and brews ✨️
Hi Pon-chan!
［I should have gone to both Tokuchi Sake Shop and Takatsu Sake Shop after opening their cellars a little more 😅.
I usually eat too much, so I didn't recognize it as curry life.
Hello, Matsuchiyo-san!
When I tasted it before, I thought it would go well with [red bean paste], so I bought [akafuku] 🥰.
It's not a bad match, so next time I'd like to try it with [taiyaki] 🤔.
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I drove almost all day long, but sometimes it's nice to have a day to face your car and get drunk 🥰.
I would recommend tasting it once as it has a firm sweetness, just for talking 🤣.
Hi Gyve 😃
I see that you also have a FIFO system for managing your liquor inventory!
Speaking of Fukuwagura, it's Imuraya, so it's quintessential that you paired it with an azuki bar👍.
If it's winter time, I'd like to try it warmed up and paired with azuki bean paste 😊.
Hi Aladdin, good evening 🌛.
Basically, I'm first in, first out, but this time I let it lie a bit until I went to buy [Akafuku] because of the Mie connection 😅.
I see 💡 I forgot about [heated sake], I'll try again in the cold season 🥰.
The owner is Fukuwakura Ohatsu, famous for its Imuraya azuki bar.
The initial aroma is fruity and sweet.
It is a joke to say that it is like an adzuki-bar in your mouth, but it is quite sweet.
It is recommended for those who like sweet.
It was delicious😊✨️
Hi, Matsuchiyo-san!
I too have this in stock and will open it when I get together something to match 🥰.
I just tasted it and it's interesting that it has some kind of [adzuki-bar] feel to it 🤣.
A drink made by the azuki bar company.
Slightly carbonated and tingling on the tongue.
Nice sweetness and a dry bitter aftertaste.
Delicious.
