Murayu, dark blue Ruri label
I recently drank this sake for the first time at an izakaya and got the impression that it could be the next Shinshu Kamerei, so I liked it and drank it again at home.
The color is slightly yellowish, and the top aroma is like that of muscat.
In the mouth, it is thick, with a cream-like sweetness and a hint of maturity. The taste is quite strong.
When swallowed down, the nose is filled with a strong alcohol and cemedine aroma.
It finishes with a strong bitter taste.
The taste is rather peculiar, and although it is good up to the first or second sip, it becomes boring after that. The impression was quite different from when I drank it at the restaurant.
I would like to try other types as well, as they seem to have different flavors depending on the label.
As the name suggests, this quirky sake is a summer sake, but it is recommended to be heated. This sake is fruity when drunk cold, and mellow and changes its expression when heated. It is delicious.
From Yokohama to Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, over the Mikuni Pass in Tokyo, Saitama, and Gunma 🚗.
Even though it was as hot as 40 degrees in some places that day, it was 23 degrees from Mikuni Pass to Naeba, very cool and comfortable 🎐.
The first drink we had at a izakaya in Nagaoka was Murayu.
The alcohol content is 15 degrees Celsius.
The aroma is moderate and the taste is sweet and sour with a nice crispness.
The lady at the store was very knowledgeable about it and said that the alcohol content was undisclosed, and that the harmony was mild and refreshing among the Murasuke, while the other Murasuke were sweeter. Hmmm, I would like to try it 🤔.
But I can't pick it up on this trip because it's sold out or something 😢 I'd like to revisit it someday
Good morning, soumacho!
Thanks for the long drive to Nagaoka 🚗.
I have an impression that Murayusuke is also a sweet sake that I would like to try 🤤.
It's great to enjoy a glass of local sake with delicious snacks while traveling, isn't it 😋.
Hi ma-ki-😃.
It's fun to drive on a road I don't know well 🚗.
I still can't stop tasting the local sake and snacks afterwards 😊.
I regret that I didn't get to meet other village yusus this time 😅.
Hi soumacho 😃.
I know it's hard to drive in summer 😣23 degrees was comfortable 🤗I've only had one bottle of Murayu, but I remember it was dark sweet like brown sugar 😌 Please give it a try!
Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
The area from Mikuni pass to Naeba is really comfortable and it was amazing to see a couple of monkeys and their children cooling off on the bridge at the pass 🐒.
Mr. Murayu, I will try to revenge next time 😠.
Recommended for summer heating, served cold.
Slightly vanilla-like aroma.
The aroma is sweet and custard-like.
The taste is light, gentle and juicy.
The aroma is rich, but the texture is smooth,
The alcohol content of 13 degrees Celsius makes it easy to drink.
The sweetness seems to blossom when it is heated up, so I would like to try that as well.
Preference 4/5
Since the participants are from all over the country, some of them are Japanophiles. ‼️ A guest from Niigata Prefecture asked us to have a sake drink, and we visited his room ❗Murayu was waiting for us!
I'm so happy to see you!
We went to Kokura on Sunday of that week! It was amazing to feel the monorail crashing into the station ‼️
I had to try the yakiudon, which is the origin of yakiudon!
It was also delicious, with a crispy outside and chewy inside 😋.
In the evening, we went to "Hakata Ramen shin-shin" to try their tonkotsu ramen! Yum~😋!
It has been a long time since I have seen Murayu.
I got the impression that it has a clearer outline than the Japanese style.
It has a sugary sweetness rather than a fruity taste.
However, it is not an unpleasant sweetness, but rather a sweetness with the flavor of rice.
To be honest, I prefer other brands. I prefer other brands,

The top aroma is a strange yogurt-like aroma with a strong milkiness.
The texture is slightly thickened.
In the mouth, a rich sweetness spreads, followed by a slight bitterness and sourness. The flavor is like sweet yogurt and orange peel. In the end, sweetness, acidity, and a pleasant sake alcohol taste remain.
To sum it up simply, it is a yoghurt sake. It is a rich but refreshing yogurt sake. It is an interesting sake with a very different taste.
