The first Ibaraki sake of the year.
Unusual aroma of sweet caramel and vanilla. The taste is rich, yet sharp and clear, with an exquisite balance. In the mouth, there is a sharp sweetness and a dense acidity with a lingering bitterness. This is delicious.
♪ Labels with kanji characters that I wanted to drink ♪
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 15%.
Classic taste with good balance.
Very drinkable!
On the second and third days, the sweetness increases a little and it becomes easier to drink, which is more preferable than when it is freshly opened!
It has settled down on the 4th day.
The taste is different from the prototype we had last time!
It was more plump and mellow than the Miyamanishiki sake we usually drink. ❣️
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I see you drank Urasato 🤤.
If you're a Kanji Urasato, I hope you'll try the blue Hitanishiki Jungin and the silver Junmai too ☺️
If you also try the usunigori and junmai ginjo namaishime, you'll be a Urasato fan by then 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I'm also interested in the other specs of Urasato, which I drank before: ✨️
I'd like to get it again when I'm away from home 🥰.
Hi Pon, good evening here too!
Urasato is on my to-drink list, so I'm very curious 😋.
I think it's a classic, well-balanced sake that would go well with a meal 🤤.
It's also nice to be able to enjoy different tastes 🤗.
Good morning, Pon-chan!
I've only had Urasato's light nigori, but it was too good, so I guess this one must be good too 🤤I haven't been to Ibaraki yet this year, so I think it's time to go Ibaraki sake hunting 💪.
Pon.
Good evening...
I am curious about this Miyamanishiki Urasato 🤩.
I'm even more curious about the classical taste 😁I wonder if it's suitable for food wine 🤔.
Hi Muro 🐦.
Ibaraki and Kansai are also hard to find 💦 so I try when I find some 😊Handling seems to be increasing little by little so I hope you can get some!
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
I've always seen you drinking it so deliciously, so there it is! I picked it up right away 😊It tastes different from the prototype, but it's rich and delicious ❣️
I'd like to drink it again when I find another one.
Hi ma-ki-!
The prototype I drank the other day is delicious as it is, but this one is good with food as well, so I recommend it for during a meal 🤔 There are only a few stores that carry it, but I think there are some in Osaka 🤔 If you find one, please do!
Hello, freelancer first generation man 🐦.
Are you close enough to go to Ibaraki 🎶I'm jealous 😊I'd like to drink there once as it's an unexplored area even though I drink sake!
I'd love to meet a light nigori 😻
Hi Kozou-san 🐦.
I'm also interested in Urasato, which is blue letter that Kozo-san drank😊I've heard that nigori is also delicious, so I'll drink it when I find it for a while! I'll drink it when I find it for a while 🤭.
Oh, it's good while eating 😉.
Grape-like aroma
Mild sweetness with a slight gasiness
The acidity that asserts itself from the mildness and
and a deep umami flavor.
It disappears while leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Today we have a recent favorite, the Urasato Sake Brewery in Tsukuba!
It is soft and refreshingly sweet with no unpleasant taste!
It is so smooth and crisp, it can be paired with anything!
Try it, everyone!
thanks Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito (Mito, Hitachinokuni)
Good evening, Bunzu-san!
I'm the kind of person who suddenly wants to drink when you recommend something 😁✨✨.
I've been curious about Urasato, and I'd love to take you there if I ever get to meet you 🤗.
Hi, ma-ki-San.
The sake brewed with Ogawa yeast used in this brewery
I feel that the sake brewed with Ogawa yeast used in this brewery is really good.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
At Nihon Shu-Tsubaki in Jujo.
Sweet and sour.
After drinking, the taste of grains remains in your mouth and leaves through your nose.
Date of production: March 2024
Urasato Junmai-shu Namahoshi
Made with Gin-no-sato sake produced in Ibaraki Prefecture
Polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content: 14% (undiluted)
Sake meter degree - Acidity
Fat: Opened on 7/27 and bottled on 8/22
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 😊.
HinaHanaMama.
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 😊.
Jay & Nobby.
Sorry for the late reply 🙏I really was in trouble because I couldn't do any household chores 😅 not to mention the washing machine and the wrench...
We could hardly have a conversation but we are glad we went to see you many, many times in August 😊.
Pon-chan
Sorry for the late reply 🙏My father was completely dependent on my mother when it came to housework, so I thought it would be like this... 😅I have a lot of inheritance and other procedures to go through at my parents' house, but I finished all the urgent things, so I'm going to have a drink and rest...
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 😋🥰.
