Okunoto Shirakiku#Original recipe reproduction
100% Yamadanishiki rice
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 16%.
It has been kept in the refrigerator at home for a while.
This one is soft-water, fire-brewed, and delicious.
There are rumors that Shirafuji will resume brewing in the spring, and we would love to drink it again if we come across it again 🍶.
Today, I went out for some reason and ended up having a New Year's party with my wife...so we went to a restaurant.
We were told that there was a sake to support the recovery of Noto, so we ordered it immediately: ☝️
First up was a reproduction of Okunoto's Shirakiku from the Aburacho Sake Brewery.
It's a Junmai Daiginjo, but it has a strong rice flavor, not dry but sweet 😊.
It is a delicious sake 😆.
Hi Kano 😃
A New Year's party just for fun after going out with a couple somehow! That kind of thing is really nice👍.
Looks like you had a good day with lots of drinks 🤗.
This is the sake I received for New Year's.
It is a sake that was rescued from a brewery that was hit by a disaster a year ago😭I had been keeping it in the fridge since I bought it in the spring to enjoy during the New Year's holiday.
It has a gentle sweetness that is typical of Shirakiku, but with a deeper flavor....
I enjoyed it with Osechi.
I am glad to see the collaboration with other breweries and the brewery in Wajima will be able to recover sooner than expected 💕.
I hope you can drink Shirakiku brewed in Okunoto again: ☺️
Happy New Year, Mamio 🌅Please keep up the good work this year: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Your power for reconstruction is amazing 😌I would love to drink a crying taste 🥹 of such power!
Good evening, Mamio-san. I too opened a bottle of last year's Junmai Ginjo for the first bottle of the new year, and I really like the taste that makes me cry with its gentle sweetness! I'm drinking it in the hope that the day will come when I can drink "Okunoto" Shirakiku 😊.
Happy new year, Manachy! When I bought this 🎍I kept it thinking that I might not be able to drink it again for a while 😢, but surprisingly a lot of things came out and I screamed with joy 😁 This kindness is hard to find anywhere else!
Happy New Year to you, Jay & Nobby 🎍✨ and we look forward to seeing you again this year: ☺️
Shirakiku always impresses me😍and the story of that earthquake makes the sake taste good again 🥰.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening ⭐I didn't know you were also a Shirakiku beginner! It is very emotional to think that this sake was in the brewery in Wajima 🤩1 year ago. I hope the day comes soon when we can drink that Shirakiku from Okunoto again 💕.
Miraculously, I met,
UMACHI...very nice!
We can't let Noto's sake be discontinued,
We need everyone's support. ......
It's been a year, but we mustn't forget...
As for how it came about, the label needs no explanation. A spec that will probably never be drunk again, and we will take it to heart.
Room temperature. The aroma is a little sugary and orangey, and when you drink it, it has an elegant sugary sweetness, which is cut off by bitterness rather than alcohol spiciness.
45°C. Not much different from room temperature. Not much different from room temperature, but the sweetness and sharpness are a little more pronounced.
At 50℃, the sweetness weakens a little and becomes tighter. A medium temperature is recommended.
Cold sake on the second day. It is slightly sweet when you drink it, and the umami expands for a moment, and then the sharpness is enhanced. It is also well-balanced and refreshing.
It has a gentle sweetness that is typical of Shirakiku from Okunoto, while the addition of alcohol gives it a nice sharpness. The price is also kept low because it is a honjozo. This will be a landmark bottle this year and one that will leave a lasting impression.
This time it is Shirakiku from Okunoto.
This is last year's Junmai Ginjo.
It has been one year since the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
We hope for the earliest possible recovery from the earthquake.
It is served at room temperature.
The glass is made of Noto indigo, so there is no color tone.
The top aroma is softly fragrant with fresh bananas.
From the smooth mouthfeel, a beautiful sweetness like Wasanbon flows slowly into the soft banana, and the lingering taste gently disappears with the astringent taste of rice mixed with the umami of rice.
From the moment it enters the mouth to the lingering aftertaste
The beautifully flowing sweetness and umami
The richness of the sweetness and umami that flows in the mouth is so beautiful that you can't help but sigh.
A wonderful sake.
Even with the unhealed wounds in our hearts, we have to build a better tomorrow.
with unhealed wounds in their hearts, they must build a better tomorrow.
in front of those who are striving to build a better tomorrow,
I thought it would not be right for me to keep this sake forever.
I thought it would not be right for me to leave it behind forever in front of those who are striving to build a better tomorrow.
I want to taste each sake.
I would like to savor each sake with the thoughts and feelings of the people who were involved with it.
It was a cup of sake that renewed my mind 😊.
To everyone at Sake-no-wa,
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Happy New Year, Hirupeko-san 🎍It has been a year since the Noto Peninsula earthquake. It's wonderful to see Hirupeko-san who mindfully tastes sake that has a beautiful flowing sweet and savory expression 😄 Please give my best wishes for this year as well.
Happy New Year, Rutemi 🎍✨I would like to once again spend each and every day savoring the splendor of Okunoto's white chrysanthemum. I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Hi Hirupeko, I look forward to working with you again this year🐍🎍.
I have mixed feelings when I think about this time last year.
It is not so easy to say recovery, but I would like to at least drink and tell you how wonderful it is 🍶.
Happy New Year, Hirupeko ⛩Please continue to support us in the new year 🙇♀️Your thoughts on the disaster area are as good as ever, even after a year. I too will not forget what happened a year ago and will constantly continue to do what I can 😊.
Happy New Year, Peco 🎍 and I wish you a happy new year 🙇.
Seeing your various thoughts on drinking Noto's sake made me think. It's during these difficult times that I too want to taste and appreciate it 😊.
Happy New Year, Hirupeco 🎍.
Thank you very much for your support during the old year🍀.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
I am thinking about the fact that you are drinking Noto sake.
Aladdin, Happy New Year 🎍✨As someone who is not a victim of the disaster, I cannot say lightly about the recovery, but it was a wonderful taste that I would like to see the white chrysanthemum of "Okunoto" again someday 😊 Thank you again for your support this year 🙇.
Happy New Year, Wakata 🎍✨I just left some sake on hand, but it tasted so good that I took a sip and groaned ah, it's delicious 😌It's only been a year, but it's important not to let it fade away. I wish you a happy new year 🙇.
Happy New Year to you, ma-ki! I was reminded of how much I appreciate the days when I can enjoy a good drink 😌 Please continue to support us in the new year 🙇.
The year 2025 starts here with a thought for Noto.
First, the original recipe reproduction sake
Soft and gentle aroma
Gentle on the palate, with a gentle sweetness and acidity.
The finish is slightly bitter and astringent, but with a light aftertaste.
I have not had the original Junmai Daiginjo yet, but I can't wait to drink it again!

I'm back for the New Year's vacation, so today I got a local sake, Shirakiku from Okunoto 😋 This sake seems to be brewed by Goso Sake Brewery, known for its Ishikawa sake, Youho: ☝️
The aroma may not be so noticeable 🤔In the mouth, there is an elegant sweetness and a moderate acidity that is very pleasant 😊Then, a mild juicy taste is followed by a mild sourness.
After that, it is mildly juicy and goes down smoothly 😚👍This sake is very soft and easy to drink even though it is a pure sake 😍This is a delicious sake that goes down smoothly 🥳.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
It's been a while since I've been back to my hometown and when I opened the fridge at home it was there 😚 I totally forgot I bought it 🤣 I want to adjust my fridge during the holiday season 😊.
Maecin-san, here too😊.
Delicious - I wanted to keep this sake ❣️ until the end of the year and drink it with warmed sake and festive food 😁Please have a good rest in your hometown 😊
Original recipe followed by a collaborative version. The very hard water and freshness of Wind Forest. The sweetness of the first touch, Wind Forest. Delicious. Slight bitterness is the white chrysanthemum?
Good luck Noto!
I was told that the rice was brought to the Yuho brewery, Goso Sake Brewery, to be made, and then brought back to the brewery and laid down to rest. We were told by the liquor store that the price is a little higher because of this, but we were more than happy to have come across it!
Yamadanishiki 92%, Gohyakumangoku 8%.
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 16%.
Slightly yellowish aroma, typical of sake.
Slightly fruity, gentle sweetness and umami
Slightly spicy and classic taste
Still hard but delicious
On the second day, the fruity, muscat-like flavor and umami are clearly expressed!
Delicious with dumplings in a pot!
On the third day, it became mellow and slightly pungent.
We drank it with yellowtail and radish.
On the 4th day, it was warmed up to lukewarm.
The aroma of rice, the sweetness of rice, and the slightly pungent aftertaste.
Because of its sweetness, it was even better than the 3rd day when it was served with Nara-zuke cream cheese, and went well with the oden of the day. ❣️
I should have warmed it up earlier!
Hi Ponchan 😃.
I can feel how happy you are to have found this sake 🥰 and the pairing dishes are nice👍. I'm sure everything will be delicious with your dishes 😋.
Hi Pon. 😊
I used to drink only cold sake, but now I drink it at room temperature, lukewarm or
lukewarm, or even raised the temperature to 60 degrees,
I enjoy experimenting with it. I love it 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan!
I got this one too, but haven't had a chance to drink it yet! I'm glad to know that it tastes good heated up this season 😆 I'll try it too ✨.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
I know how happy you are to find Okunoto 🥹😌, enjoy the taste change and then finish with heated sake 🍶... it's difficult to know when to switch to heated sake 😅.
Hi, HinaHanaMama 🐦.
I always go around the store 3 times before I choose, but I decided to go with you! It's been a long time since I've had that 😁I was really happy 😊.
The food itself is appropriate, but with the power of the sake, it seems to go with everything 😆.
Hi Hanapin 🐦.
60 degrees ‼️ is uncharted territory 😳I have a cat tongue so everything gets lukewarm 😂I'm deeply jealous that you can eat and drink hot ✨.
Hi Ofuji 🐦
I too mostly drink cold sake, but I was thinking of heating this one up at the end 😊and I can drink most of the bad ones or the ones I don't like if I warm them up to lukewarm 😁 thanks to you I can try many different things 😆.
Hi kino.🐦.
I see you got it! Please enjoy the warmed sake while watching TV during the New Year's holidays 😆 That's what I was in the mood for 😆.
Looking forward to your review 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I'm glad and sorry that you're making progress like this before we could drink and support 📣... anyway, I felt like capturing it immediately 😊.
I'm not sure when to heat up the sake, especially new sake💦.
Hi Gyve 🐦.
Yes, the joy of being able to drink again won out over the price 😆 If this was a little more expensive, I wouldn't move from in front of the fridge 🤣Selfish 😂.
