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!

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 😊.

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 😋🥰.

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 🤤😋😋😋.
Ibaraki Prefecture
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 👌.
