Ichinokura sake received at the 10/1 Sake Day "Go Around" event.
It is a sweet and sour fruit-like sake with 8 degrees of alcohol. It was like drinking a slightly diluted plum wine!
Of course I like it, so I immediately bought a set to compare it with a liqueur mixed with plum and yuzu. The liqueur is sweeter, of course, lol.
At the supermarket, I was looking for a special on hiyaoroshi, and after much deliberation, I chose Ichinokura. It has a rounded and calm rice flavor, with a hint of acidity. The taste is softer than the usual Ichinokura.

Ichinozo Special Junmai Sake Dry
I was looking forward to the "Sake Go Around" again this year!
I had already planned to take the afternoon off with my wife and I and entered the event! (7/7)
This is the third of three restaurants we visited!
Koetsuan & Ichinokura (Miyagi)
I was already over my limit of 2 gou, but I really wanted to try a restaurant I had never been to in Monnaka because it was participating in the go-around this year...pushing through😇🏴☠️
I usually avoid Ichinokura because of its dryness (but I love "Himezen"), but it has a delicious flavor and doesn't feel too spicy!
It was great to hear detailed stories from the brewery staff!
Sake is interesting after all 🥹.
This year's sake go-around was too much fun!
Hi Kumacha 😃
Your review shows how much fun the sake go-around is 👏, and it's great that you've done your homework ‼️ and have a good 😊 aim 👏.
We hope to join you next year too 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby! Thank you for your comment 😊.
We hope you will join us next year! 🎉
It's a very exciting and fun event that we love because we get to meet the store owners & brewery staff & sake-loving customers. ☺️
I'm a little sad that it's only on October 1st every year... I've been looking forward to buying a batch in advance, but what if something happens on the day of the event and I can't attend? I'm so nervous 💦.
I wish you could make it a "week" of 10/1 that includes Saturday and Sunday, or if that's not possible, at least make it a 3-day event 🥴.

It's dry. It's good!
It finishes cleanly and nicely, with a slight sweetness.
This is good! And it goes well with food. ~~~~ And it goes well with croquettes, too!
This is the fifth kind that day!
This one was sweet! I felt so sweet that I thought it was apple juice. I was surprised! Is this sake? I was surprised!
It might be a fun drink if you don't think of it as sake.
