This sake is made from Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Kitakata.
You can feel the delicious flavor of the rice and enjoy the crisp, clean taste that is typical of Gohyakumangoku.
This sake is made from Kitakata-grown Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%.
The aroma is reminiscent of slightly sweet fruits, yet it also has a refreshing crispness.
GI Kitakata's certified sake
This sake is made from Yamada-Nishiki produced in Banshu and polished to 39%.
It is a very well-balanced sake with a fruity aroma, elegant sweetness, and a sharp aftertaste.
The 2nd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival⑯.
Aizu Homare booth in Fukushima Prefecture.
This time, there was no Karahashi, but only Aizu Homare.
There was a Kitakata Terroir series, which I had in order from I to IV.
Kitakata Terroir EPISODE I
The rice is 55% Yamadanishiki polished rice with Fukushima dream yeast. It is dark and full-bodied with a strong umami flavor. This is my favorite, similar to my favorite Karahashi Yamadanishiki.
Kitakata Terroir EPISODE II
This sake is made with 70% polished rice using Yumekaori (dream fragrance) and Utsukushima Yume yeast. It has a sour to bitter taste and is slightly sweet, but has a Sake meter of +0.8.
◉Kitakata Terroir EPISODE III
Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku. Sourness that tightens from a clear acidity. A citrusy sourness remained in my mouth the whole time.
◉Kitakata Terroir EPISODE IV
Junmai Daiginjo with 39% polished Yamadanishiki rice. It was well balanced with sweetness and umami. The sweetness and umami are well balanced and not all too assertive.
Fukufukunoka
The acidity is calm and converges with a little more umami.
I am glad I had the chance to compare the different series.

Aizu Homare's Kasen, familiar to Yumi Karahashi.
It's a regular sake with added sugar.
The top aroma is mildly sweet.
It has a mild sweet aroma with a hint of full-bodied, moderate sweetness on the palate.
It is a good evening sake that you do not get tired of drinking.
It was delicious.

There is a Japanese garden and it is possible to tour the brewery.

This is the second night of our trip to Aizu. On Sunday evening, we had a hard time finding a restaurant serving local cuisine and sake, as many were closed. The couple visited Sake-na Tenmi." We had a variety of local dishes such as "Aizu Jidori Chicken and Seasonal Vegetables Ajigio". After drinking Miharukoma, Izumikawa, and Tobiroki sake, the waiter recommended Aizu Homare. The owner recommended Aizu Homare, which he said was rare because it was four years old and had recently been opened. We enjoyed the day as well.
Hello, Sasakamama3 😃.
I like your trip to Aizu! We also enjoyed the food and local sake in Aizu with our family the year before last 🤗Would love to go back!
The sake type that Grandpa used to drink. You often see billboards advertising it on telephone poles in town. It has a sweet taste with a slightly spicy aftertaste. Slightly spicy with a sweet taste.
Homare Sake Brewery is trying various new series of sake, such as Chocolat Sake.
I don't know the detailed specs, so please look it up.
Picked you up at the supermarket I found on a side trip🤗I wonder if I would have found Episodes I and II if I had come more often 😩Zanneen Hoping to get IV in after this...
The fruity aroma is softly reminiscent of banana and melon, with a floral overtone in the sweet aroma. Lightly medium-bodied with just the right amount of sweetness. The rich aroma of grain flavor and richness spreads, and the gentle chirichiri-ness and lightness of the acidity also make the cup go further 😚.
