Cold sake
Rice with a bit of husk remaining. It has a horniness peculiar to raw sake.
Drink it. As the name implies, it is yureraka. The flavor of the rice is light but firm. It is like a fully ripe pear with 95% water content. It is refreshing yet robust. A bitter taste appears later. When you swallow it, you will feel the original beauty of the rice.

Standing rice bran. The aroma alone is enough to intoxicate you with rice alcohol! This is sake!
Drink it. The deep acidity stands out. From "yuraraka" to "yuruyaka". A strong alcohol feeling that pushes out the rice to the fullest. It even masks the richness. At this point, I realized that I was drinking a nigori sake. As you swallow, the dry aftertaste
50°C
Intoxicated by the plump, ripe persimmon!
Drink. Loose and piquant. Complex to the trinity. Rice alcohol that fills your nostrils and tingles the heart of a sake lover. Are you the nose-twitching man! When you chew and drink, you can feel your back teeth floating with the flavor. When you swallow, it's tremendously robust and satisfying!

Baked sake lees. Sai no Kami in the falling snow.
Drink. "Yuraraka". I think it expresses the characteristic of sake well. You can feel a sense of calmness in it. It's a sense of spaciousness and the flow of time. Light acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. When you swallow it, you feel overwhelming euphoria!
Midorikawa, good! There are still several kinds. Let's compare!

This is delicious👍.
When I return home by train, I stop by Kanadaya in Urasa when I'm waiting for the train to change at Urasa station, but there is also a Yurara that has been laid down for a year, and the taste is even better, and I felt the potential of this sake👍.

Mr. Hirakucho.
Actually, I bought this Midorikawa at Kanadaya-san! Their old sake is well preserved, and they're a very trustworthy shop! It's a different Midorikawa from Yuraraka, but I went there just recently and got some old sake!

I'm not sure what to say.
I'm sure it's not just any shop.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that you like.
