Today, July 1, marks the beginning of a new brewing year.
We look forward to serving you again in R6BY.
On such a day, we will be having a very special one.
This sake is named after Dr. Chikara Ogawa, the developer of Ogawa yeast, who aged Kirizukuba Daiginjo in ice temperature for 3 years.
The appearance is pale yellow crystal.
The aroma is rich with soft and elegant green melon flesh, with slight notes of yellow apple and pear freshness, and a veil of rice aroma like white dumplings.
The texture is just gentle and soft.
The fine sweetness and umami spread smoothly, and the sweet melon aroma spreads gracefully.
While the round, mellow sweetness and umami are pleasantly felt on the tongue, the cool acidity leaves a gradually drying sensation, and sometimes leaves a powerful impression on the nose.
The finish is crisp, with a lingering warmth that is permeated by the alcohol, leaving only a very subtle astringency.
This BY, I would like to continue my studies and deepen my own sake knowledge and experience so as not to be outdone by such a wonderful sake, and to be able to provide more accurate and interesting information.
In the process, it would be great if I could be blessed with an intoxicating sake connection😊.

Good morning, Aladdin 😀
I was very mistaken... I thought Chikara was named after the toji (master brewer), but it came from Dr. Ogawa😇.
You had a terrific first drink of the new year 😀.

Good morning, Yasube 😃.
I heard that this sake is also named after Dr. Chikayoshi Ogawa, the 6th generation master brewer of Urasato Brewery😊.
I opened a bottle to renew my commitment for the future 🍶😄.

Hi Aladdin 😊
I'm ashamed to admit that I never knew the brewing year 🤫 I've solved the mystery of why it says 2023BY even though it's a sake brewed in June! Thank you 😊
Flagship of Aladdin's guessed brewery 😍 great👍!

Hi Aladdin 🐦.
You drank a thoughtful drink in the new year ✨I didn't connect Dr. Ogawa = Chikara Ogawa either 💦I see that's how Chikara-san is named now. I learned a lot 🙏.

Hi Maru 😃
Brewery Year, we don't use it in our daily life 😄.
By the way, this sake is from H30BY and is a blend of daiginjo made by the former toji and daiginjo made by the current chikara toji 😊.

Hi Pon-chan 😃
I can't help but wonder if Mr. Chikara Urasato is brewing sake with the Ogawa yeast (No. 10 yeast) developed by Dr. Chikara Ogawa, from which he got his name: ☺️

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
I think it might be more correct to say 😅 that we don't need to know the hard stuff, let's just enjoy drinking good alcohol in a drunken mood 😁, but it's fun to know things, so I'll show you to the extent that I don't become a troublesome skunk demon 😁.

Good morning, Aladdin ☀☀☀.
I enjoyed your "Chikara" the other day 😁.
Thank you for this truly precious sake 🙇.
I love the efforts of this generation as well as the comet's eye of the predecessor who gave the name directly from Dr. Ogawa!
