Sake from a Sake Brewery in the Castle Town of Izushi
With Izushi's Sara Soba
Does not disturb the aroma of soba
Gentle sweetness and a sense of refreshment
Left photo. Reads "Sasazuru." Smooth apricot sweetness, bitterness, and rice sourness. The dryness is moderate. The set of sake comparison was surprisingly full of straight-forward and delicious sake.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2024③.
Rakuraku zuru? Tano-no-zuru?
No, it's Sasazuru 😁.
Izushi Sake Brewery's 200 year old red clay warehouse still exists.
Even more acidic than Sennenichi. Overall, it is refreshing.
I thought it would be extremely spicy, but it is quite easy to drink.
Of the B set, Nada Ichi is my favorite.
I heard later that this brewery doesn't make it anymore and that it might contain sake from a famous brewery in the Tajima area 🤔. 🤔.
It's ok if it tastes good even if they don't brew it themselves 😋.
I was also interested in the King Brewery Inami that koge2 and Wakata-san were drinking, but I decided to skip it this time because it's available at Yamaya and I don't need to drink it now!
Good evening, bouken 🦉.
Tanotonozuru🤣That's a little too unexpected...
But still, it's hard to read💦I can't read it as "sasazuru"😳
I want to drink with Izushi's Sara-soba 😋.
There are various theories as to the origin of "Rakurakutsuru," but it is said that the name "Rakurakutsuru" is derived from the name of a place called "Sasaura" near Kinosaki Hot Spring located about 20 km from the brewery, the name of the villa of the lord of Izushi Castle, Lord Sengoku, called "Rakurakuen," and the name of sake, "Rakuraku," which is also called "Sasazuru. The name of the villa is said to be "Rakurakuen" and the word for sake is "Rakuraku". The word "crane" is said to refer to the storks that lived in this area.
The top aroma has a strong alcohol flavor.
It is a very rich and mellow sake, as it is a pure sake. I don't want to compare it to other sake, but it has the feel of mellow shochu or spirits. However, it is a sake (I don't like the term "sake", so I call it "alcohol"), so it is somewhat mellow, not that harsh alcohol.
It's easy to drink, so you can gobble it down with a gulp, and (for me) it's a bit of a kick.
Sour! Not at all
Not sweet at all!
It is surely delicious even if it is cooled down to a crisp!
It will be good not only for Japanese food but also for Italian and French food...,
Delicious!
