I was looking at the website of Rice and Agave and there was a raffle and I entered and won ✨I got a DM right before the raffle so I guess the odds are low 🤔.
It's a drink to celebrate the marriage of craft gin distiller Ayumu Yamaguchi 🎉.
The aroma is citrusy. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, changing from a delicious taste with citrus-like acidity to a bitter astringent taste with a hint of spice, which slowly fades away. The bitterness and astringency were characteristic of this sake, but it was easy to drink, refreshing, and delicious ✨.
Good evening ichiro18 🌝.
Oh this would be a craft saké in a nutshell 🤔.
I don't know what the odds are, but you have it in you to win a limited edition sake ✨.
Sake x gin, I can't imagine the taste at all 👀.
Hi, Chesta 😃.
Thank you 😊I was lucky 🤔to win ✨I see rice and agave are challenging in many ways 🥰I hope the craft saké, which is easy to get into, can penetrate these days when people say people are moving away from sake 🥰...
My relatives came from Sendai City, so I thought I would offer them some sake from Akita Prefecture, which I had stocked up on.
It's easy to drink!
It was a good sake.
Rice and agave, sake with hops as a secondary ingredient.
The sake has a Japanese sake mouthfeel, but the freshness of the hops comes in immediately and gives it a nice flavor.
I have tasted sake and hops for the first time before at Pukupuku Brewery, and I have a feeling that it will spread in the future because it is so delicious. The bitterness and freshness of the hops are good, so I thought it would go well with western-style fried food.
Delicious!
Rice and Agave Trial Vat Series 14 "Rice and Twine
This time we were served "Rice and Twining", the 14th in the popular "Tasting Oke Series" by Ina to Agave.
From the moment the bottle is opened, a fresh aroma rises from the bottle, and the freshness spreads at once with the first sip.
The light acidity and soft sweetness are pleasant, and the taste is just like "a breath of freshly brewed air. It has a pleasant feeling of being absorbed into the body without any unpleasant taste, and can be simply described as "...... fresh and delicious.
It was a bottle that shines with the playfulness and challenge that is typical of the Trial Okeh series ✨.
.
The label looks like a Japanese folktale with a motif of the Japanese native plant Aomoji, the raw material of the sake😊.
I recently purchased this at the Young Dawn 2025!
I was surprised when I drank it 🍶.
It has the delicious taste of sake and the complex flavor of herbal sake!
Interesting and delicious with grapefruit, lemongrass, lactic acidity mixed with bitterness, sweetness, gassy and many other things!
It was my first craft saké and it made me want to try more of them 😋.
Good morning, Pinoko 😃.
It is indeed an old Japanese tale 😳I wanted to go to this event at the dawn of young people 😭The sake looks good for you ✨I am interested in your new challenge, rice and Agave's craft saké 😊.
Good morning, ichiro18 ✨If it's an event, it's nice to have a conversation with the brewery 🍶I got to hear the thoughts of a representative from Rice and Agave about their brand 😊🍶.
Hop color or light cherry color liquor.
More fruity than the previous Inna to Hop.
The beer feeling is moderate now, but bitter like a good beer. Interesting.
☆☆☆☆
Slightly cloudy liquid color with a hint of origami
Fresh fruity aroma
Sweet and sour
Less hoppy than regular Hanafu and easy to drink.
Maybe I prefer it to regular Hanafu.
Ina to Agave Brewery's "Ina to Agave Hiori Hori
Craft saké is made by fermenting a base of junmai sake made from rice, rice malt, and water, with the addition of secondary ingredients.
While a variety of saké with various secondary ingredients have appeared in the past, we feel that this new saké created by "Rice and Agave" is an ideal product that embodies the spirit of craft, with a natural Japanese aroma.
The flavor is characterized by the sweetness of the rice, and the multi-layered aroma of lemongrass-like aroma of "Aomonomoto-no-mi", grapefruit-like aroma of "Kaya", aroma of "Hana-yomogi" that is comparable to western herbs, and "Akaezomatsu" sprouts that can only be harvested at this time of the year. The multi-layered flavor is characterized by the fragrance of "hanayomogi," which is comparable to that of Western herbs, and "akaezomatsu" sprouts, which are only harvested during this season.
In addition to the citrusy freshness of lemon and grapefruit, the herbal aroma lightly envelops the entire flavor, and the subtle bitterness of akaezomatsu (Pinus densiflora) perfectly complements the taste.
