Birth sake. Sake from a new brewery. When I bought it, the shopkeeper told me that it was made by someone who used to work in Daishinshu, so I knew it would be delicious. Delicious. Just the right amount of umami and sweetness.

ぎゃばん

I drank the birth liquors of the tiled roof, but the next? s one.
Sweet fruity, yet firm and acidic.
Slightly carbonated.
Same impression as the last time, a delicious sake that seems to be popular nowadays.
I'm not sure about national pre-sake, but I'm happy to see a tasty addition to the local Shinshu sake. And I'm totally satisfied with it.
Postscript
A bad one came out! Raw karasumi (dried mullet roe)
The kalasumi here is delicious, but now it's even better!
After eating this restaurant's raw karasumi, you will find that the ones from other restaurants are not as good as theirs!
I could drink two gou of sake just from this, but I've already drunk five gou...

Masaaki Sapporo
9 points (Wife: 8 points) Alcohol percentage : 15
Ingredients : contract-grown rice Hitogokochi, Matsukawa-mura, Kitaazumi-gun, Nagano
Rice Polishing Ratio : Undisclosed
Sake Degree : Undisclosed
Sake Shop Marumi (Sapporo, Japan)
Shupon when opening the bottle
Moderate gassiness
Slightly ripe apple-like top-end
The same gentle aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and sweetness spreads with a thin acidity and a slight gassy feeling, with a slight bitterness and a woody aroma in the back, and it finishes quickly.
It is a well-balanced and beautiful sake that is easy to pair with meals, and is of course delicious on its own as well!
It went well with seafood pasta in tomato sauce.
The amazake made with Iraka sake lees, which was given to us at the time of purchase, had a very nice aroma and the grains were fine and tasty!

It was snowing (and still is) when I arrived in Nagano yesterday. It's winter, isn't it?
After the work, we went to the usual bar for a drink. It's the last one before the end of the year, so I'm going to have a drink to say hello. Which is the priority? 🤣
The owner says, "Most of the menu hasn't changed," but I remember, so I point at Iraka, saying, "Hey, this drink wasn't here last month 🫵."
They were doing a two black and white drink comparison, but since I am a big customer 😆, they extended it to a three drink comparison of black, white and indigo. First of all, white is a little sharp, black is mild compared to it, and indigo has more rice flavor. Ai is delicious. But black and white are also good. All in all, they are delicious 😋The owner says, "It has a nostalgic feeling. It's a taste that makes you feel at home. It's true. I wanted to drink more. I want to drink one cup at a time. If I had the money, I could 😄.
The owner called me a sake collector because I always leave the sake that I have to drink early. I'll be back after the new year 😁.
It was 3 hours of standing drinking on that day🎶.

Hi Ane 😃
Hokuriku also started to snow here and there today: ❄️
But the best part is the comparison of 3 types of Iraka (Japanese tile tile): ✌️
I like it 😋.

Thank you very much. But my opinion of the taste is that of a person with no vocabulary 😅I think you can tell a lot from my facial expression 😆The general was drinking with a smile of satisfaction ☺️

Good evening, Koizo 🌟.
Iraka, it is. If I hadn't met this sake, I would never have known this kanji 😁I went there with my senpai companion for a "quick end-of-year greeting", but we stayed there for a long time 😆.

Takatsugu
Iraka Shuzo, the "newest sake brewery," completed construction of a new brewery and started brewing in the fall of 2024. We opened a bottle of "Ai" following the previous "Kuro".
Ai" is a beautiful sake with a fruity, clear, refreshing flavor that easily fits on the tongue. It has a clearer taste and moderate acidity than the "Kuro" and is easy to pair with food.
Although it is unfiltered raw sake, the alcohol content is only 15%, so it has a good balance of drinkability.
It is a little extravagant sake, but we have high expectations for next year's sake and beyond. Delicious: ‼️

ちりとてちん
Tanakaya, a shop at Uonodana in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, bought this sake immediately with the killer phrase, "Sake that's on the rise.
It is the first product of "Iraka Sake Brewery," which is independently brewed by a master brewer who has developed Taishinshu into a famous sake brewery.
The aroma is clean and banana-like, and the taste and sweetness of the rice are well pronounced.
Delicious: ‼️

This is a newcomer in Nagano and I was very interested in the quality of this sake. When I tried this, this is amazingly tasty, aromatic and fruity. I really love this and this bottle made me acknowledge that water is the key for brewing sake.

3rd bottle of Iraka with the 3rd lot.
I drank black, black, indigo, white, and black.
It is a well-known brand's birth sake.
The aroma and taste of this black sake are very strong.
It tastes even better about 3 days after opening the bottle.

This time we will compare the sake from "Iraka Sake Brewery" 🍾🍾.
Then White (Sincerity and Respect) 🤍.
Now it's time to open the bottle ✨🥂✨
Slightly acidic and clean aroma.
When you take a sip
The gentle sweetness is quickly followed by sourness that finishes off the taste.
The feeling is somewhat like Shinmasa.
Easy to drink and delicious 😋.
Bitterness is a bit strong at the end.
2nd day
It has become very mellow.
The acidity is more pronounced and the bitterness has calmed down.
It is easy to drink.
3rd day
It is as delicious as ever 😋.
The black one goes well with gingerbread.
This one has a bitter aftertaste....
So I tried it with cheese 😋👍
Leave it for one day and then go back for the 5th day.
Sourness with sweetness and a very nice aroma...
Wow ❣️
The sweetness and acidity both expand and become mellow and handsome.
Take a sip!
It was so delicious 😆💕☺️
Both of them tasted best on the 5th day...
I think my favorite is the white one.

Dora asked Mr. Katsumi Tanaka, the brewer and toji (master brewer)
Katsumi Tanaka, the brewery's toji (master brewer), signed ✍️

We also got a lot of sakekasu (sake lees) ❣️
It tastes like silver and black 😄.

Yes, I've made you wait a long time for the handsome silver-black, so now that it's all here, we're going to compare 😋♪

Good evening, Kotaro😄.
Yes, that's what I'm talking about 😊.
It's not fair 〰︎1 to go there alone 🥲.
It's sake lees but it's rather dry and my daughter makes amazake with lots of sugar and drinks it 😆♪
I don't know if this is helpful 😅

Good evening, Tsuyodai😄.
This white is sold only in Matsukawa village ❗️
That doesn't mean I thought I'd go to the brewery to buy it 😅I think there's a chance you'll come across silver black and silver indigo 😉.

Good evening, Tsubu-chan 😃.
I have never seen Mr. Katsumi Tanaka, the master brewer!

Hi, Tsubu 🐦.
I understand the drinking comparison 😊🙏 I would love to drink this one too, but it's a bit too much 💦I saw the black one, I'll try it next time!

Mr. Toji, it is rare to meet you unless you visit the brewery or at an event 😌I would love to meet you too the next time I have the chance ☺️ Yes, I would love to meet you too! I will keep this label in a safe place 🤗.

Good morning, Tsubu!
I checked to see if we could go to Matsukawamura this weekend and found that Iraka White was sold out💦.

They are very popular😅.
