Urasato, it doesn't come off. It's like a model of light nigori.
Not only does it have a good balance of sweet, spicy, and sour flavors, but the gaseous sensation is a perfect match for its taste. Sometimes with other sakes, the gassiness can mask the flavor, but this one does the opposite, bringing the flavor to life. And the lees entwine with it, making it milky.
Urasato Usunigori served on Hachijojima is the best.
I only caught a few stonefish and harisenbon.
Put into oblivion, it seems to have ripened in its own home for two years.
Not much aroma, sweet ripe melon fruit, slightly bitter at the end, balanced overall
It seems to be a prototype made using the old manufacturing method and available only in limited places, but my family bought it and I tried it.
I tried it and found it to have the same sourness and sweetness as nigori sake, but without the oozy taste.
It's great that they are trying different things. ‼️
1st bottle of August 🍶 It's been a while since I bought this 😅.
There is almost no color.
The aroma is modest, with a fruity note on the palate.
The alcohol content is supposed to be low, but when swallowed, it is surprisingly strong, but the taste is cool and refreshing 😄 delicious 😋.
The sweetness is well perceived, with a refreshing sourness, and it is not spicy. All in all, I think it is a very good sake. Thank you for the sake.
I bought this sake because I was impressed with the Pure Ibaraki Ibaraki I drank before.
It is a bit expensive for a junmai sake, but it has just the right amount of sweetness, a clean aftertaste, and a very nice finish.
Like the previous junmai ginjo, it really makes you want to drink it all the time (i.e., it runs out quickly)👍
The second bottle of Urasato's Jungin Ao♪ is now available for purchase in the neighborhood.
The second bottle of Urasato's Jungin Ao, which I can buy near me, is a Jungin Ao!
Sharp, sweet and delicious 😋.
All of them are made in Ibaraki prefecture and labeled "Pure Ibaraki", but the one I know is "BLACK" 🤔.
Drinking at home🍶
Even in Shikoku
Tsukuba's Urasato is rapidly gaining popularity.
I'm so happy ‼️
My mother's 👩 stocking 👍sense to go back to her home country
No, it's Morimoto🍶 Sake Shop's sense 😅.
The description says [New Classic Junmai brewed by combining the traditional "Nama-Moto-Zukuri" from the Edo period and the modern "Ginjo-Zukuri"].
The result is a sweeter-than-expected aroma 🍇 and refreshing sweetness 🍈.
The result was sweeter than expected 🍇 refreshing sweetness 🍈 paired with bonito tataki🐟 another winner for its thickness and umami!
Urasato's stability. I like it after all. ❤️
The taste is full of rice.
It has no peculiarities, and the sweetness of the rice can be felt, but the aftertaste is easily withdrawn, making it easy to drink.
I have decided to complete Urasato (and Kirizukuba as much as possible) this season.
Last season's Urasato Junmai Ginjo Nama Hashiwado was a real treat, so I was looking forward to this year's edition, but this season's Junmai Nama Hashiwado came first😳.
The appearance is a pale silver-green crystal.
The aroma is sweet with a beautiful astringency like red grapes, with hints of melon and banana.
The aroma of yogurt and cream cheese derived from the sake yeast is also refreshing.
The attack is medium with a smooth mouthfeel and mellow sweetness.
While the fruity sweetness spreads, the mild acidity spreads softly and finishes.
The rice flavor is moderately rich, with a hint of bitterness and astringency.
The hint of aroma also has a sense of sake yeast and red grapes.
The lingering finish is rather long.
Pairing with food, it probably goes with anything, but since it has a sense of fresh yeast, it will be more enjoyable with French and Italian dishes with cream and butter. ☺️
I felt that this is a new classic junmai sake typical of Urasato, which has been beautifully sublimated to be easy to drink, while retaining its original kamishimo character.
The aroma and taste are not too flashy, and the alcohol content is exquisitely low at 14%, making Urasato a daily sake that is easy to drink with your daily evening drinks. ☺️
Good evening, Matsuchiyo-san 😃.
I'm sure it's delicious and I'm looking forward to your evaluation 😄.
Junmai Ginjo Namaishige is scheduled to be released next month, and I heard that Dr. Suzuki, the God of Sake, has given his seal of approval, so I am really looking forward to it 😊.
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 12
It is clear and easy to drink with sweetness and acidity, but the sensation that leaves the nose after swallowing is so strong that it is hard to believe it is low-alcohol.
According to the explanation on the back label, it is a test brew, made by lactic acid fermentation of amazake called "Sanki Amazake Moto", and it is recommended to drink with soda.
I had it chilled today, but I'd like to keep a little and drink it as a highball to refresh me during the heat wave 🌊.
I was going to change restaurants and just have a drink, so something juicy and easy to drink.
Sake by itself is really delicious!
I wanted something light and salty, so I ordered iriko (dried sardine) tempura!
The sake and the appetizer were both delicious!
Ibaraki Sake
Urasato Prototype4
Urasato Junmai Namaishige
This is a test sake produced by the Urasato Sake Brewery in Ibaraki.
We bought two kinds and compared them.
Urasato Prototype 4 is made using a method invented in the Meiji era (1868-1912), which was later abandoned. Chikara Urasato, the brewery's toji, explains how it is made on his Instagram and X. In short, it seems to be an unusual way of making sake. In short, it seems to be an unusual way of making sake.
Urasato Junmai-Namaishige is a method of making sake using the original sake yeast invented in the Edo period (1603-1868). I had high expectations for this sake, as I have recently been enjoying junmai namaisho mashike sake.
Both sakes have a ripe aroma of purple grapes, with Prototype 4 having a stronger sweetness and a lower alcohol content (12%), making it easier to drink. The Junmai-Nikagashi has a similar sweetness, followed by sourness and bitterness, which comes quickly.
I prefer Prototype 4, but when I drank Junmai-Nikohashi after a few days, the taste became more coherent and the sourness and bitterness mellowed out and became very tasty. I think the Junmai-Nikahashiroshi can be served hot.
Conclusion: Both are delicious!
