Saitama Prefecture, a neighbor of Tokyo, ranks 4th in national sake shipments by prefecture
We have many favorite and delicious sake such as Hanahayo, Sairai, Nagatorogura, Kagamiyama, etc. It is very helpful because they are tasty and easy to buy!
My favorite liquor store now carries Igarashi, which has broadened my range of sake!
This sake is made from sake musashi, a rice suitable for sake brewing in Saitama Prefecture, and is unfiltered and unpasteurized, making it even fresher, fresher and tastier!
It is fresh, refreshing, and delicious, and you can drink more and more of it even in the hot summer!
The sake brewery festival will continue for a while 🍶.
Mr. Igarashi of Igarashi Sake Brewery
I love it!
This one did not disappoint either!
The sweetness comes in the mouth, and a subtle fizzy sensation is felt in the back of the throat.
The tasting was in a small plastic cup with a ticket, but I'd like to have some more 🤤.
We enjoyed it while listening to a talk by Shizuka Midorikawa, a sake taster (actually, I was so engrossed in the sake that I didn't listen to the talk at all😅).
This was my first visit to Sakura Town and it was interesting just to look at the building 👀.
There are various exhibits inside, but you have to pay for them 😅.
Good evening, Rinako 😃.
Saitama sake 🍶 is something we don't drink much 😅 so this is helpful 😋.
Is the third picture Sakura Town? What a great building 😳
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞Watashi is almost exclusively a Saitama metropolitan, so Saitama sake is very familiar and I like it 😁✨Sakura Town was designed by Kengo Kuma and it's...kind of awesome😆.
The last drink in this corner.
Junmai Unfiltered Nama-zake
I realized again that this is the sake I like best.
It has a strong taste.
Plus it was dry.
Today's corner drinking was a great success.

Aftertaste: rather refreshing, pleasant bitterness, acidity
Impression: Fruity and dry
The aroma is of fresh apple-like fruit with a hint of koji (malted rice).
The taste has a firm acidity and is refreshing for its alcohol content. It is fresh and has a rum-like nuance.
Repeat Score 2.0
I found Igarashi after a long time and bought it. I have drunk a lot of Igarashi, but this yellow-green one is my favorite.
I thought the fruity flavor of this brewery was comparable to that of Hanabatake, a Saitama brewery, but the aftertaste was gruesome and the line was too thin.
Unbeknownst to me, other breweries are perfecting their craft...
The price is so cheap there, so I don't regret it.
I wish you the best: ‼️
