The 1920's National Sake Fairs
Ibaraki Prefecture 10
Inaba Sake Brewery, Tsukuba City
I've always wanted to try this one.
I've been wanting to try this one for a long time.
The first sake brewed by a female brewery master in Ibaraki Prefecture.
According to the official website and the liquor store's website, both are unfiltered and fire-aged. It looks like there is a draft version of both.
We drank
Male-Female River Shiboritate Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered
Polishing ratio 55% Miyamanishiki 15-16 degrees Sake degree +4.0 Acidity 1.5
Amino acidity 1.2 2090 yen
We thought it was a draft sake, but it seems to be a fire-brewed sake. It is light and has a good balance of umami and acidity. It seems to be evenly balanced. Delicious!
Sutera Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered
Polishing ratio 50% Yamadanishiki 15-16 degrees Sake degree +1.0 Acidity 1.3
Amino acidity 0.7 2,750 yen
Fruity, sweet and delicious. It has a clean and smooth taste.
There are no unpleasant parts, and it is good and easy to drink.
Both Inaba sake breweries are very good!
Wish it was available in Kansai!
