At CHUIN-san over the past day.
We visited the owner, Mr. Kawada, again to visit him.
We had drinks with Mr. Kawada's story.
Here is the first one.
Kiri-Tsukuba Honnen Junmai Usu Nigori (light nigori).
It seems that only sake shops that went to Urasato Shuzoten for this sake can handle it, and there is almost no distribution outside of the local area 🤔.
I did not even know it existed.
The appearance is a light cloudy color with beautifully hazy gold tints.
The aroma is mildly sweet and refreshing at the same time.
Sweetness of green melon and banana, with a fresh, chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili aroma.
The usual unbearable aroma.
The aroma of rice, like freshly pounded rice cake, is also rich.
After a smooth entry, a gentle gaseous stimulation tickles the palate with a pleasantly intoxicating sensation.
The sweetness, like melon juice, has a roundness to it, and the acidity that spreads quickly is gentle and juicy.
It finishes with a good umami flavor and a refreshing dryness that passes through the nose.
The sharpness is good, and the lingering aftertaste of slight bitterness is also intoxicating.
It is too delicious.
This is a little too good.
It is my favorite among the active light nigori that I drank this year 🥰.
I want to drink a bottle properly 🍶.
I later asked the toji, Chikara Urasato, about it, and he told me that it is brewed irregularly only in the years when there is surplus rice for sake🥺.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌙.
I went to a liquor store in Ibaraki the other day because I wanted to drink Kirizukuba. I wanted to take this one home too, but I gave up because they only have one bottle 😣.
I see it's an irregular brew 😂I hope I get a chance to drink it ✨.

Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
I see you ran into them in Ibaraki! That alone makes me jealous 🤤.
I too specialize in Shogo-Bottles, but with this one, I would buy even a bottle of Ippon with the assumption that it will be split and stored in a Shogo-Bottle 🤩.
I can only hope that there will be extra sake rice next year 😌.
