Ibaraki Sake
Urasato Junmai Usu Nigori Nama
Urasato is a sake from Ibaraki that has recently become a hot topic on SNS and other social networking sites. It is made with rice, water, and yeast from Ibaraki, using Ogawa yeast (Association No. 10 yeast), which originated in Ibaraki. I was looking forward to drinking it this year since I could not drink it last year. The aroma is fruity and sweet. The taste is just as it should be, with no cloying taste, and it seems to disappear quickly and easily. It is similar to Raifuku Moromi Sake, but this one is richer. It is very easy to drink and can be enjoyed as an in-between-dinner drink. I finished a four-pack in one day during my New Year's vacation, so I will buy a one-pack next time.
I think that Ibaraki's sake will be better known if this kind of delicious sake spreads not only in Ibaraki but also throughout the country.
