Urasato Junmai Ginjo Nama
I ordered Urasato Junmai Ginjyo Nama 🍶 because I enjoyed new sake Kiri-Tsukuba Nigori and
Urasato's light nigori was delicious, so I ordered it 🍶.
It has a clean taste.
It has a clean taste and is sweet and tasty at the same time. Delicious 😋.
Pairs well with soaked eggplant and okra in dashi broth.

Urasato Junmai Ginjo Hon Nama
I bought this at a liquor store in the southern part of Osaka, where the owner is the same age as the Urasato master brewer and a good friend of mine.
Unfortunately, the owner was not there, but since this was my first Urasato, the mother of the store keeper asked the owner over the phone if this was a good one for me as an introduction to Urasato.
We had it with cold sake.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The nose is melon, cucumber, and slightly citrusy, with a hint of sweetness and acidity.
The mouthfeel is fresh and juicy, expanding and expanding with the acidity felt on the tongue.
The palate is voluptuous and full of acidity, with an initial sense of richness and flavor that seems concentrated for a moment, followed by a bitter bitterness that is very crisp and full. The bitter aftertaste lingers for a while, followed by a crisp finish. It is interesting that after finishing the drink, one feels a sense of lightness and refreshment.
The sake rice is Hitanishiki, and the water, koji mold, and yeast are all brewed in Ibaraki.
Ingredients: Rice (Ibaraki Prefecture), Rice malt (Ibaraki Prefecture)
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15% (original)
The first one in August is Prototype 5 in Urasato!
I'm kind of looking forward to it since it's already out every year. w
This time, they challenged the "Sanshoku Yuhi yeast yeast", which was discontinued in the early Meiji era... They brewed amazake with rice malt and steamed rice, and added lactic acid bacteria (U2 strain) with the brewery.
Of course, it is a test brew! I'm looking forward to it!
As the label says, it has a light sweetness with moderate acidity, and the alcohol content is 12%, which makes it seem quite easy to drink... but it has a strong aftertaste.
The first impression is that it is light and easy to drink. It's rather interesting how it develops after making you think it's light and easy to drink.
Whatever the case may be, it tastes good after all! That's all I can say... I'm looking forward to next year!
Hi Oudonpan 🐦.
This was the first Urasato I drank, and as you say, it's not only light but also very drinkable and delicious!
I see you have a test brew out every year😳.
Hi Pon! Thanks for your comment 🥰.
I'm not sure how many prototypes you have... lol
We have other drinks that are delicious too, so please give them a try 😊.

Content 1800ml
Place of origin Ibaraki Prefecture
Specific name Junmai Ginjo
Rice used: Hitanishiki
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15% (original sake)
At Nihon Shu-Tsubaki.
Carbonated.
Soft sweetness and sourness.
The aftertaste is astringent and banana-like.
Sweet dryness.
Close date: January 6, 2024.
The aroma is light and slightly acidic.
Smooth mouthfeel with a slight gasiness.
The acidity comes gently and is wrapped in a mild sweetness.
Overall, it was a rounded and delicious sake.
I love lactic acid fermentation type sake.
Transparent sweetness and umami
A little acidity
No strange bitterness or numbness even when just uncorked.
It has a strong flavor even though it is low in alcohol content.
The taste does not change even when the temperature is raised a little.
It was worth the effort to choose it after consulting with the master brewer himself about our preferences at the tasting!
I should have bought another bottle!
The owner of the liquor store told me that Urasato had just arrived, so I bought it!
My first drink was a test brew, and I was so excited!
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol: 12
Sour aroma, chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili!
It has a sourness, but it also has sweetness and umami, and is delicious with a flavor like that of ramune!
Sweetness up on the second dayup
The acidity has settled down and there is a good balance.
The swelling in the second half is also delicious!
On the 3rd to 4th day, the taste is more settled, but it is still full-bodied and tasty without losing its richness.
Flavor is like muscat instead of ramune.
I would like to try the other ones as they were much tastier!
I forgot to take a picture first and it's a little low 🤭.
Hi ichiro18 🐦.
I would love to be able to buy it near me 😊 It's a test brew but it's delicious so I hope you'll try it!
I was looking for it thinking it was Urasato in kanji, but I didn't expect it to be alphabetical 😆.
Hello, Pon!
Oh! I see that there are now stores around Kyoto and Shiga that carry Urasato 🥰.
I went to Nagoya to buy it, but now I can buy it on my way to Kyoto 🤣.
Good evening, Ponchan!
It's a cool label, not Urasato-esque. ❣️ It tastes sweet and sour and looks delicious 😋I'd like to buy this if I see it 🥰I don't think there are any stores near me that carry it...💦.
Pon, congratulations on your first drink here too ☺️ Urasato 🥳I'm excited just by the sound of prototypes 🤖It's awesome that you can contact me when you start handling them 😳I'll look for them when my fridge settles 🤤.
Congratulations on your first Urasi, Ponchan: ㊗️
I'm glad to hear that Urasato, with its acid base and sweet sake yeast, is to your liking: ☺️
I'm also looking forward to laying down the same sake, so I'll post my personal impressions (although it's going to be quite a while, as I've been behind lately): ☺️
Hi Pon 😃.
Congratulations on your first Urasato with a nice label ㊗️ 🎉Congratulations on your first Urasato with a 12° acidity leaning ‼️ this is a good bottle for this time of year 🤗I would love to drink it even though it seems to kill me in the blink of an eye 😋.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
I know you drank it! I wanted to drink Kanji no Urasato first too, but it was delicious here😊.
It's a liquor store in Shiga, so if you're driving by 😊.
Hi, HinaHanaMama 🐦.
There are still very few of them in Kansai 💦I think you will probably like the taste of chrysanthemum 😁If you can find it anywhere, please do not hesitate to contact us at ❣️
Hi Nao888🐦.
I went to buy it in June because the owner recommended it to me a month ago 😊I wonder if Kinoshita-san is available in Osaka 🤔I would love to buy it 😉.
Thank you Aladdin 😊
I finally got to drink it 😆 Aladdin's recommendation of Urasi was a prototype, but it's delicious! I was excited because it was my first time to drink acid base sweet sake 🎶 and it was full-bodied 👍.
Hi Yasbaye 🐦.
I'm ashamed to admit that I have a lot of alcohol that I haven't drunk 🤭 so I'm happy to have my first only 😊I'm jealous of your location, Yasbaye 😻
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
It has a low almodan skilicok and I would recommend it to J & N 😊 It seems to be liked by a wide range of people!
Please blink while cheering for Mr. Otani 😆.
Pon.
Good evening!
Congratulations on your first Urasato😊I'm drinking my first Urasato as I write this 😘It's a different kind but the sour smelling chili is very similar! I wonder if it is a characteristic of Urasato 🤔It has a very modern label...
Sorry for the late reply, Kozo 🙏💦 and thank you 😊.
I'm sure it's the one with the label that says "Urasato" on it! I'd like to try the regular and other ones too 🎶 I'm looking forward to your review 🎶.
From an unfulfilled production area - Ibaraki
First of all, the jacket is simple and beautiful.
The sake has a good sense of balance, which the brewer describes as a "new classic".
Chitashige in Nagoya was a nice liquor store that I visited for the first time.
Ibaraki's sake is really, really good!
I also recommend Morishima, Male and Female River, and Kikumori, famous for its Hitachinonest beer! ☺️✨
Please try to drink it 🎵
Mr. Akizakari
Thank you for your comment!
I will check it out when I see it ✨
I'll check it out when I get a chance ✨Nikuto Maruishi Brewing is very close by lol.
They are all delicious 👍.
