I bought this arabashiri the day before yesterday (Friday, April 7) at a QA (kue) tasting and sale at Ikebukuro Seibu's sake shop Yamada.
A young brother at the brewery
He said, "It's a bag suspension, but we pump the sake into the bag by hand, not by machine."
The yeast is alive and fermenting in the bottle."
We had it tonight and had to be very careful to open the bottle.
The bubbling is amazing👍.
Attractive and energetic.
The taste is also mellow with grapefruit and nigori, and has a nice bitterness.
The price is quite high (3,350 yen including tax, 720 ml bottle, Sake Sho Yamada Ikebukuro Seibu), but I would like to keep an eye on it secretly.
Without an explanation of the price, it may seem quite aggressive.
I felt that it would be better to disclose the process of bag-suspension and the rice polishing ratio, which is not disclosed, to appeal the reasonableness of the price.

Hiraccio, good evening 😃.
I see you had a quick drink 😋I think this is an upcoming brewery in terms of name recognition, since you said at an event last year that it hasn't been out of the local area for 200 years. I feel like price and privately held is a bit of a bottleneck 🤔.

Good morning, bouken 😊.
You have not been out of your hometown for 200 years.
I think it's a huge turnaround and great execution with the terroir, story, label design, sake name, and modern-leaning sake quality.

The sake is of a quality that should be seen by the sake merchant Yamada and has a chance to reach restaurants and sake users in various regions, so it remains to be seen how the taste evaluation, including price ratio and repeat business, will come about.
