Sweet and sour.
After drinking, the taste of grains remains in your mouth and leaves through your nose.

Sake meter degree - Acidity

Finally posted the last sake I drank in July😅!
This is the second bottle of Urasato that I finally got my hands on 🤩.
The smell after opening the bottle is a sweet grape aroma, almost like a rosé wine aroma 🍇.
In the mouth, it tastes like sweetened lemon, and then the bitter spiciness of lemon and grenfre peel rushes in, but it quickly quiets down with a mellow aftertaste 🤩.
As it approaches room temperature, the sweetness and spiciness become more pronounced and the aftertaste becomes longer.
Never had this sensation before 🤔.
The long awaited double shot of Urasato-san: 💣️💣️ Noooo! I can only look forward to being able to buy it at my local liquor store from now on👍.
Yum!!!

My father passed away.
He was 87 years old.
He did his best for 2 years and 8 months after my mother passed away.
At the beginning of the year, he was in danger of aspiration pneumonia, but he was discharged from the hospital with amazing resilience, but after moving into a facility, he lost the sense of urgency of living alone, or perhaps his dementia progressed, he couldn't eat anymore, and finally he died of old age.
Well, he lived a long life, didn't he? I think my mother took me there during the Bon Festival.
I was lucky to be able to take care of him at the end.
After the funeral 😅
Hello, Koizo.
I am very sorry for your loss. I had no idea that he was in such a state and was surprised at the sudden news of his passing. I am sure your father is enjoying the reunion with your mother now. It is still very hard until he settles down.
Hello, Koizo 😃.
I was surprised because I felt something similar to your father of the Showa generation who couldn't use a microwave. But as you said, he passed away in Obon 😌.
It's been more than 6 years since my mother passed away at home too... I'm going to see her next week!
Koizo, I pray for the repose of your father's soul.
I know it hasn't been that long since your mother passed away... but they must have been very close parents 😌.
Thank you for your hard work 😊.

Sorry for the late reply 🙏Thank you again 😊I wrote this as a reminder of your passing 😅I sent it peacefully as it was not a sudden death 😊.
A young banana-like aroma.
The nose has a clear sweetness similar to the previous one, with a hint of fullness.
Refreshing acidity.
Slightly herbal spicy nuance.
A refreshing finish.
The youthfulness of pickled bitter gourd goes surprisingly well with it.
Taste level 4/5
15%, 50%, original sake, Ogawa yeast, fire-aged, 3,410 yen per square bottle.
Lovely all-Ibaraki attention to detail✨.
The nose has a melon ginjo aroma.
Well-balanced sweetness with a full-bodied umami.
Clean and crisp with a touch of bitterness.
I love the gentle flavor of this sake 😋🥰.

A strange and delicious sake with a strong aftertaste of sweetness that changes from sweet and tasty to sour and bitter and feels refreshing.
Purchased on liquor store recommendation
Sweet aroma
Umami sweetness and good acidity
Only a hint of bitterness
Very tasty 😋😋😋😋😋
The umami and sourness is even better with sushi 🤤😋😋😋.

Junmai Sake
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 15%.
It has a banana aroma.
The taste is also like a rich banana.
It is not strong, but has a firm sweetness and umami.
The alcohol is strong, and you feel satisfied that you are drinking sake.
Our company is not closed for Obon either! (blank stare)
So, after a week of hard work, I...
Let's have a toast with Urasato's Sakura Sho Sparkling!
It's much lower alcohol content (6%).
I think I can gobble this up!
And the rice... Milky Queen! What kind of rice is that?
How does it taste?
Sweet! Sour! Light! Delicious! (Nicely done!)
As you can imagine, it's just the way I like it!
The sweetness that gives the taste of grape, the light sourness, and the carbonated sourness make it easy to drink!
It is similar to Suzune and Mio, but the quality of sweetness is different from them.
This is the one that can be emptied in one night - delicious!
Thanks for your comment, Kotaro 🥰.
It was gone within an hour of writing this!
Yes, I know it's 500...delicious, but the costuming is absurdly bad lol.
I bought this Urasato at the 7-Eleven mentioned in the previous post! I guess it is positioned as an out-of-prefecture brand of the Urasato Sake Brewery, which brews Kiri-Tsukuba, which I have been into recently.
The label says "Pure Ibaraki," which means that the water and rice are produced in Ibaraki Prefecture! It's a sake like my own that hasn't left Ibaraki since I was born 😅.
It tastes like a melon with a melon-like heady aroma, and like Kiri-Tsukuba, this one has become a big favorite 👌.

I finally got my hands on a bottle of Urasato.
I've been wanting to drink it since I read your review about its acidity 🤤.
I was so eager to drink it 🤩 I was so excited that my local liquor store started carrying it and displayed 4 kinds 🤩 I had to carefully select 2 bottles 😅.
I have nothing but high hopes for it...
After opening the bottle, the aroma is sweet and fruity with a hint of alcohol.
In the mouth, the sweet aroma and taste is the most applicable to pear 🍐!
Yup...it's a pear! It's pear!
When chilled, the fruity flavor is assertive, but as it approaches room temperature, it becomes more acidic and alcoholic! I think it is best to drink it chilled.
The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing and goes from moderately spicy to sharp.
Delicious!
I told you in my previous post about the 2:1 win in the second official game of ⚽️ on 8/9, but I played as a center back (CB) in a back four position! Last time I was the anchor of the volante and this time I'm the CB and they put a newcomer in charge of an important position... I wonder if they expect me 😅I'm going to enjoy this situation and win the match too! I need to train more...
Hi Kozo 😃
Urasato, you got two of them! Congratulations 🎉 and moreover, the match is also a win ❗️ over and over 🙌 Banzai 🙌 🥰.
Great job, kozou-san 💕!
I'm sure your training gets more intense when you have high expectations 👍.
Hello, Kozou 😃.
Congratulations on your first Urasato ㊗️ 🎉 Take your time and enjoy 😃.
Soccer ⚽️ is a great manifestation of expectations 🤗.
In case you don't know, my couch 🛋️ in my air-conditioned house is my permanent place 😆.

Good morning!
I brought 2 bottles of wine, but I wanted to bring 4 😅⚽️ is active or not? I'm not sure if is active or not, but I'm enjoying participating and I'm thankful for it...
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good morning♪
Mr. Urasato! It's delicious 🤤I wanted to drink this brand when I read your repo 🤤By the way, I don't move from my chair in an air-conditioned room while racing on holidays when there's nothing to do 🤣.
Congratulations on your first Urasato, Kozo🎉!
I'm looking forward to two bottles that seem to be different types! I recently drank Kanji's Miyamanishiki and I think I prefer it to Kozo's 🤔I'd like to drink more of it too 🤔.
⚽️ is going well 😉.
Pon-chan.
Good evening 💦thanks for your comment 💦I see you are busy 😘Thanks for your comment 😘They were better than I imagined 🤤I enjoyed both bottles because they were different types 😘I would say ⚽️ is going well 😅The horse is going so well I'm afraid of him 😘.
This is a test brew by one of my favorite toji, Chikara Urasato.
This year, too, it is a test brew by one of my favorite Tôji, Chikara Urasato! How about its evolution, deepening, and true value: ☺️
For more information about this sake, anyway, please read Mr. Chikara Urasato's X post: 🙇♂️🙇
□Opening day one... 🍶□□
The appearance is a slightly pale yellow, gold crystal, and after pouring, the sake cup is filled with fine gas bubbles🫧 after some time.
The aroma is slightly youthful, gorgeous and fresh with a fresh, raw feel.
Aromas of white grapes, strawberries, young yellow grapefruit, and young green-fleshed melon.
Fresh, youthful yogurt, sour cream, and cheese aromas with a hint of acidity.
The riceiness is about the size of a white egg dumpling.
Moderately juicy sweetness.
The acidity has a gentle, sake-like quality, including a pleasant gas kick.
The crisp umami spreads to the end with a hint of bitterness.
The finish is sharp, with a medium aftertaste of slight bitterness and a more subdued astringency.
□Opened 7 days... 🍶□□
No major change in basic aroma or taste, with the impression of dairy and acidity coming forward.
Almost no bitterness or astringency.
The taste was cohesive, but the raw yeastiness came out strongly.
The cheese sauce of the nachos went well with it.
The aroma and flavor intensity without feeling the low alcohol was quintessential!
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
I was nodding my head when I read your excellent review 😆 I had a different impression when I drank Kanji no Urasato the other day, and I see it was a test brew 🤔 It still tastes very perfect!
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I finally got to check in too 😄
Urasato, I'm curious which one you drank: ☺️
You are right! I too feel Urasato has a different perfection and gentle awesomeness than prototype😊.
