Gagakuyo Narukami
I was hooked on this beer after the last time I tried Tama Hibiki, which was recommended to me at the store, so I bought this one as well.
It is said to be light and dry, but it is a little low in alcohol content and has a modern sweetness on the palate.
I can enjoy it on its own, and even though it is a different type, I think I will run out of this one soon!
8.5 points (Wife: 8 points)
Rice used: Ipponshime
Rice polishing ratio: Not disclosed
Alcohol: 14.5
Sake degree: Undisclosed
Sold at: Sakurumoto Shoten Honten (Chuo-ku, Sapporo)
When the bottle is opened, it is a little gassy.
A little gassy
Slight melon yogurt-like top-up
The same slightly gorgeous aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and sweetness spreads with lactic acidity and a hint of gassiness, and finishes with a slight bitterness.
Although it is quite nigori, it has a fine texture and a moderate aroma, and the bitterness is controlled and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
It is easy to pair with a meal, and is delicious on its own as well.
Goes well with Sara Udon noodles.
Good evening, Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
I'm interested in Garakudai because it is promoted at many liquor stores in my area.
I'm not sure which brand of Niigata sake I want to try first 😄.
Good evening, soumacho 🌙Garakudai as well as Itaru, Kikusui Funaguchi, Kafuda sake and many other delicious Niigata sake so far ✨I'd like to try Kirinzan one of these days 😋.
Good evening Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
Masayo shining white in the snowy landscape 🤩The label design is also very cool 👍.
I think it would go well with Sara Udon 😚.
Masaaki Sapporo-san, good evening. The scene of Emperor Juntoku standing on Sado Island with winter snow falling (apparently) blended in with the real snowy landscape and looked more divine 😊The Gagakuyo's active nigori looks delicious 😋.
Masaaki Sapporo-san, good evening 🌙
I also had this Fuuka the other day ☺️ and it was just as you said, fine and clear nigori, delicious 👍The Emperor Juntoku with his halo shining through the snow is very noble ✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙 Tonight, I paired it with a Solitary Gourmet pacri recipe for stir-fried pork belly and leeks and mapo tofu, and it was refreshingly delicious 😋.
Hi Hirupeko-san, good evening 🌙Garaku here!
It's a bit on the modern side, but it's not too winey and it's very refreshing 😋I would love to visit Tenryo Cup Brewery and Itsumi Brewery if I ever make it to Sado ✨.
Good evening, Kotaro 🌙The second day was also delicious🍶I think I can enjoy it for a couple more days 😋In winter, the park near my office is a good spot to take pictures 😁.

▶Comments
It is sweet but has a crisp and gaseous taste. The label design is very nice. I buy it again and use it as a jug!
Scent is slightly citrusy
Texture is solid
Low sweetness with a pungent, chili-like sensation
Sharp and quite dry
I would compare it to a Wilkinson with lemon 🍋.
Strong bitter aftertaste is also impressive
Paired with SilsMaria raw chocolate
The usual tempura shop drinking 💓
Of course the chrysanthemums were delicious,
Ouroboros was delicious, so I checked in there!
Check in there!
I like sweet sake.
but I don't like Kijoshu because it's too sweet😅.
But this kijoshu was delicious!
It seems to be an aged kijoshu,
I'm not really good at aging.
Minus✕Minus is a plus?
(↑Personal opinion!)
The old sake made the overly sweet sake taste better.
I was very happy that it wasn't too sweet ✨.
I'm a Shinsei lover, but I liked it better than Hinotori: 👍️
We checked to see if there was any carbonated sake available, and the one that was recommended to us was Garakudai!
It was a very tasty sake with a clean, fruity flavor and the gaseous taste of nama-shu!
I would like to try other types of sake as well!
Smells of peach, lemon.
Slightly effervescent, clean mouthfeel to a full-bodied and sour taste like an oli. The taste is a harmony of sweetness and bitterness, and the flavor makes you salivate. Delicious. Easy to drink.
After 4 days, it has a sense of cohesiveness and is refreshingly delicious with its umami, sweetness, and acidity.
