Purchased in January at Kinase, a local sake brewery in Mito.
I chose this brand for the Ibaraki local sake category. I was really torn between Watanabune and this one, which I had never had before.
When I checked the aroma, I found a sour, vinegar-like smell...
Looking at the label, we discovered that it had been bottled more than half a year.
I didn't realize how much a draft sake deteriorates after half a year, even if the bottle is unopened...
The taste is also undeniably deteriorated, but it is drinkable without any problems. It has a slight melon-like flavor with almost no sweetness. It is easy to drink as it is refreshing and sharp.
I drank it much more smoothly.
There is no doubt that the original is delicious.
I want to revisit Matsumori for this...!
But I didn't know it smelled like this.
I learned a lot.
Sake purchased at a roadside station in Hitachiota on the way back from a little outing for lunch on Tsuma's birthday.
When I opened the bottle at room temperature, I felt a little bit of a strong tang. I chilled it in the fridge for a day and found it easier to drink with its unique sweetness and moderate alcohol content.
By the way, I bought it for the naming and the jackets.
Actually, I have already purchased another bottle, so I'll get to that later.
Even Matsumori is a fairly minor sake, so what is the value of this uramono?
We opened the bottle with a quizzical look on our faces.
Miyamanishiki 55% polished rice grown by local farmers
Vigorous nigori that stirs automatically when the bottle is opened.
Pear and capsule aroma
Refreshing sweetness and acidity
Bitter with a touch of carbonation
Aftertaste is clean and refreshing
A good sake with the spirit of a minor sake
I received this as a gift from someone at work.
Matsumori, a sake I saw at the Tsukuba University festival but could not drink at that time.
It is a local sake of Ibaraki, and you cannot find it in Tokyo.
The aroma was subdued and had a slightly woody feel to it. When I drank it, I found it to be clean, light, dry, and sharp, with a sense of rice.
It had no peculiarities, so it was good as a food sake.
Delicious!
Ibaraki Prefecture visited the brewery after attacking Kume Castle in Hitachiota City.
Sweet but with a slightly spicy aftertaste.
The taste is also a little strong and mellow.
It is delicious.
