☀️
Clean and refreshing, like a clear stream.
The sweetness comes up later.
It was a gentle sweetness that lingered until the aftertaste 😚.
Half a krab is not half a krab 🤣.
As usual, it was an endorsement Imi-san couldn't hate.
Sake no Wa🍶.
Let's do it 💪.
Mr. Sugihara🤣.
Good evening, ichiro18 😃.
Every time you are an imi, your endorsement is very interesting 😆.
It's fire🔥 from the end 🤣.
No wonder Mr. Jive is so excited😇.

Another bottle of this year's Imi. This one is much less sweet compared to the 80% polished rice (射美15), which is made with low-polished rice. However, it has a strong original flavor. If you want to pair it with a mid-meal sake, this is a good choice. 80% rice is a good technique to avoid any unpleasant taste. It is a taste that makes the food taste better.
I attended a local sake party [25 years Tokkuri x Ogawa]. It seems to be an annual event.
We drank a lot and checked in.
I'll skip the toast since I've had it before, but here it is first.
I wondered what "15" meant, and was told it was a sake that should remind you of strawberries. The sweetness and umami are irresistible, yet not cloying or cloying. It is more easy to drink than strawberry, and this year, too, the Imi ran out early. I think it was probably the highlight of this year's event.
Sweet aroma like strawberry and honey 🍓🍯.
In the mouth, the sweet aroma of honey fills your mouth with a soft mouthfeel☺️✨
The sweetness gently spreads all over the palate with a gentle acidity that makes you think this is a shot of beauty‼︎‼︎✨😊
Too good to be true❣️
The timing of the opening of the bottle was
Such a postponement!
There's a reason.
Oh, it smells so good!
A little bit cloudy
The flavor explosion
Sweetness and bitterness..,
I love it!
I love it💕
The best of the year ☝️
Imura Sake Shop, I don't remember.

The back label of Imi is a blog.
The brewer writes about his daily life and character on the back of the label, which he thinks is more interesting.
It is interesting to read it like reading a book about Noh.
The color is slightly cloudy, probably because it is unfiltered.
The sweetness spreads in the mouth at first, but it soon wears off nicely. It is easy to drink and delicious.
I wanted to read the other labels on the back of the bottle.
We will celebrate the 111th Zoro check-in at the first ㊗️ 🎉!
Luxury drinking party with friends 🥂!
What a great taste 😳💖!
It has a full-bodied sweetness, sweet but with a sense of unity, with a hint of sourness and bitterness, it's good from the start until it's absorbed into the body. ‼️
We compared it with Jikin Omachi, both of which are so well-balanced and delicious that we were all saying that maybe it wasn't good for us, but we finished the two bottles in no time at all 🙌!
Since we had Jikin Omachi, we had sashimi! Sashimi with tuna, yellowtail and squid.
Imagine Imi, three kinds of caprese with mozzarella, prosciutto, persimmon and octopus 💖. Nishikawa's wasabi oil played an active role in the sashimi and caprese. What an amazing product ✨!
Freshly baked bread visa with homemade focaccia, eggplant and shiso leaf yodarebuta😋 HINANOHA's pairing looked amazing and I used it as a reference 🥰.
For dessert, we enjoyed Earl Grey ice cream 🍨 and sesame tuile, while nibbling on Saitama's specialty okaki (rice crackers). ‼️
It's really fun to talk about good drinks and gourmet food 😍.
We also had a serious discussion about the meaning of sake comparison 🧐. I'm looking forward to the next choice of sake comparison 🩷.
Hello, Pheho!
Congratulations on your 111th check-in 🎉!
We had a great sake pairing and discussion with you 😍!
The fun pairing and discussion made for a great sake celebration 🤗.
111✅Oh, good luck 🤣👍
I mean, shoot beauty 😍🍶✨✨.
I've never even seen it 😆💔💔.
I don't think I can afford it 😆💔💔.
Which means.
I don't feel like drinking 😆💔💔.
Thank you ma-ki-🎉Thank you ‼️ I'm really happy to have found such an amazing drink 🥰It was the first time 4 of my regular drinking buddies and I finished 2 bottles, so I thought it must have been very good👍.
Thank you chika 🎉‼️
I also saw it for the first time ‼️😯It might really be the first and last time 😭
I'll take care of my daily routine and try to get around again 💪🤣.
Pepho 💕Hello 😃
Wow awesome drinking & pairing dishes 🤤!
I've never had the Imi and I'm curious: ❣️ How did you pair it with the caprese? Even the desserts are perfect 🍨I'd love to join your group 🥹.
Congratulations on your 111 check-in, Peckho 🎉🎊
I love it 😻And a nice drinking experience! Lovely to see the cool Kanji labels 🩷 and ❤️ 💕Your new table is blooming 💐.
Congratulations on your Zorro check-in, Pheho: ㊗️🎉🎊
Very nice sake comparison event 😇!
I think the best way to drink good sake is to enjoy it with good friends 😇.
HinaHanaMama🩷Good evening 😍I was so impressed with the drinking comparison, which I don't think I will be able to achieve again: ‼️The sweetness and flavor of the射美 was amazing, and it was delicious on its own or with a meal, before I was too impressed to understand it well. I think it was also good with the sweetness of the persimmon❤️🧐
Thank you Pon 🩷😍Yes, yes 😍Yes 🥰The cool & colorful labels and the colorfulness of the caprese synchronize Lovely 🩷❤️ really made it gorgeous ❣️ I'm also happy to enjoy it with my eyes 💓
Yasubeyesan🩷Good evening😊Luxury drinking with luxury members, it is blissful‼️ after all, it is a blessing to have friends☺️ I am thankful for my friends at Sake no Wa who can feel the same deliciousness at the same time even though we can't drink together❣️
Sushi Restaurant Kagura will be the last!
First time at Imi's ✨I was at the bottom of the bottle 😅.
The aroma is green apple🍏 and muscat. It has a beautiful mouthfeel and when you drink it, it's sweet 😳 It's clear but sweet. But the acidity is a little sharp and clean. The aftertaste is short, and it is a dangerous sake that you can drink more and more without hesitation. I also felt a little bitterness when I was eating 🤔The aroma is green apple 🍏.
The weekly menu and other rare sakes are also listed here. All the sake here is served in 90ml. Personally, I found it tastier to order the snacks than the sushi set 😊.
Also, if you're seated, you'll get peace of water w
Hello ichiro18!
I just saw the brewery of "Imi" [Sugihara Sake Brewery] from the outside the other day 🚙.
The at-home comment on the back etiquettes makes it interesting and gives no information about the sake 🤣Fire 🔥.
Hi Gyve 😃
What a surprise that you went to Sugihara Sake Brewery 😳I guess in Fukui, Gifu is close too ✨This is the first time I read your at-home comment 🤣It's just fire 🔥w!
Hi Pon 😃
Imi, I'm glad you had a drink as I've been wanting one for a long time 😊I'm sure you're right, I'm lost. If I had a body that didn't get drunk and my pockets were warm, I could drink everything I wanted to drink 🤣I'll save it for next time!
Ane, good evening 😃.
Oops 🤣I saved because I have 4 drinks in a row tomorrow 😅three drinks was just fine ✨I can go again ✨save because I could move all day 😁Seating is fun too so have fun!
Good evening, Pinocchio 😃.
Yes, I know, I have too much alcohol to drink. There are too many drinks I want to drink and I feel like I drank too much in October so I only drank what I really wanted to drink😃But after I went home and looked things up, all I regret is that I should have drank that 🤣.
Good morning, ichiro18!
The lineup is amazing 😍.
This is a lot to look at and choose from 😁✨✨.
The Imi looks sweet and sour and delicious, I still want to drink it someday 🤤!
ma-ki-, thank you too 😃Thank you so much for the amazing lineup, I don't think I will be able to make use of it 🤣Inumi, I may have changed the taste since it was the last one, but it was full of sweetness and delicious... I hope to make home brewing a reality someday!
Aromas of grapefruit, lime, mandarin and green apple. In the mouth, the wine is sweet and juicy, with brisk acidity and fresh fruit flavors. On the mid and back of the tongue, you can feel the citrus fruit astringency, and on the very end, there is a slight accent of purpose. The flavor is on the white wine side, giving the impression of sweetness and smoothness.
It's been a long time since I had a drink outside (1)
The event was held in the form of participating members bringing their own drinks, start here: 💁♀️
Mr. White 🤍 from Imi.
All of the Sagami are delicious, but this one, which is made partly from white malted rice, is also wonderful 😆.
It has a refreshing taste, but the sweetness and acidity are well balanced, and it is just what you'd expect from Imi 🤭.
Thanks to the brewery for maintaining this quality with a small staff 🙇.
Fruity aroma with a hint of acidity, like early harvested grapefruit.
Mouthfeel is round and mellow 😋.
The palate is round and mellow 😋, with a deep, rich, multi-layered wave of deliciousness that fills the mouth. ‼️
The taste is crisp and dry from the mid-palate onward, but you can also taste a gentle sweetness throughout, making it a great wine to drink. ‼️
This BLACK is a powerful bottle that shows a new side of Imi. ‼️
Yum🤤🤤.
We received a special Junmai 15, a spring sake from Imi. This is the last of the Ebi in stock.
15 means strawberry, and combined with the pink label, the bottle design is as pretty as the image of strawberries.
The bottle is designed with strawberries in mind, but instead of saying, "This sake tastes like strawberries," it says, "We made this sake while saying, 'Let's make this sake like strawberries! I like that it is understated and says, "I made this sake while talking to the customers.
When I actually drank it, I found it to be strawberry-like, with a strong sweetness and refreshing acidity that is typical of Imi.
It is also nice that it is a spring sake with an orikarami finish.
Personally, I don't like fall sake that much, so I will minimize my purchases during this season and use the time to consume my favorite spring and summer sake.
I will make preparations now so that I will not have to give up purchasing sake during the coming new sake season due to the capacity problem of my refrigerator.
