Preferred ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Iwate Sake Banquet!
Shiwa Sake Brewery
Shiwa is also delicious, but this time we chose Hiroki. It is clean, smooth and easy to drink dry.
Light and beautiful aroma, very light sweetness and sharp acidity bitterness
Second day, sweeter than the first day, delicious with sweetness and sharpness
Unfortunately, I could not find any great sake in Iwate Prefecture during my summer trip!
On this day, Noie-san had Akabu and Hiroki, so let's drink Hiroki!
After all, I had it last year around this time!
It might be good with hot sake!

I went to Iwate and Akita for a summer trip!
On the way from Hanamaki Airport to Nyuto Onsen (hot springs), we stopped by the Shiwa Brewery for a little Purple Air ✨.
So I stopped by and bought some!
It was a summer sake, so it had a refreshing taste.
It was a summer sake, so it had a refreshing taste, but it had a lot of umami at the end!
We had reserved a tour of the brewery by phone in advance, and the president of the brewery gave us a tour of the brewery in a very homey atmosphere.
We had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things from him!
The owner was also a nice and handsome man.
I was expecting it to be cooler in Tohoku, but it was hot as usual in Iwate.
Until about 5 years ago, it used to be cool in summer.
That's why they don't have air conditioners in their warehouses.
He didn't say "Bali"...
And it's like a pun...
This is a very limited edition product that is completely made to order only once a year.
Junmai Ginjo brewed with Iwate sake rice "Ginotome" is bottled the same day it is squeezed. It is a very limited edition sake that is completely handcrafted by all the brewery workers and employees.
The super-fresh, freshly squeezed flavor was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were very grateful for the sake.
