Last of the day.
The fullness of umami and a sense of freshness.
The richness of umami in the middle part of the bottle extends to the lingering finish with a pleasant sense of tanginess.
Urasato's Junmai Namaisake🍶.
The nose has a sweet aroma typical of Ogawa yeast with a hint of melon🍈.
In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness with a slight acidity.
It finishes with a slight astringency.
After about 3 days after opening the bottle, the melon aroma and taste both increase and it becomes sweet and juicy 😊.
It was delicious🍈✨️
Another bottle procured today at Ibaraki Jizake Bar Mito!
Urasato! But it's not Ogawa yeast, it's rose yeast!
What a sweet and refreshing aroma!
Oh! Sweet and refreshing with the fragrance!
Something beautiful, this is also good👍

This is a test brew from the Urasato Sake Brewery. It is said to be brewed with a sake yeast called sanki amazake moto, which was discontinued during the Meiji era (1868-1912). This method involves making amazake and adding lactic acid bacteria to it. It has a rich, mellow taste with a strong sense of sourness, sweetness, and umami.
The label is cool, like a starry sky, typical of Tsukuba, a place associated with science and space. It has a fruity, mellow, melon-like flavor with a crisp, refreshing finish. It is still my favorite, delicious sake.
The 2nd lot I liked last year.
I was waiting for the 2 to come in at a nearby liquor store that handles Urasato, but it didn't come in, so I went a little farther to buy it. I'm glad they have some left.
When I opened the bottle, it didn't overflow, but the liquid level started to rise and sizzle. Dangerous...but it was safe! But the lees did get mixed in.
The aroma was of melon, a sharp melon.
When you drink it, you can feel the melon, but the sweetness of the young melon comes in a moment, followed immediately by the fizz and bitter acidity, and then it finishes with a sizzle.
It has a soft creamy rice mouthfeel, but it is not as dry as the 1st, so it goes well with fatty meat and fish dishes. I still prefer the 2nd.
We enjoyed it again this year.
After all, it seemed that the 2nd was not available at the nearby places. I will ask for it next year!
Second bullet 📝.
The initial taste is slightly off to my liking...
Impression close to Okura🤔.
It's punchy but a bit more acidic and not that expansive 😅
Explosion!
wake Chilli Chilli fizziness.
Sei Jwajuwa Too much foamy bubbles increase in volume. Nigori taste
TURN The stimulating sensation of bubbles strongly activates the taste buds and fits during eating, increasing sensitivity (although the bubbles are a bit too strong)
Conclusion: No aftertaste, but the thirst-quenching sensation of a carbonated juice!
No longer a Champagne 🍾.
I used to think that sake fermentation in the bottle was like a slightly carbonated juice, but I've updated my own sake!
