Okunoto Shirakiku Special Junmai Sake
May 5th is Children's Day 🎏.
Maru-san and I went on a liquor store tour...
The third store is Shirakikuya😊.
The sake we chose was... Shirakiku from Okunoto ✌️‼️
The Noto Peninsula earthquake caused extensive damage 🥲.
Dunks for brewing and electrical equipment were damaged.
The president and his wife are university alumni🎓.
Mr. Suzuki of Iwaki Kotobuki
Mr. Takahashi of Aizu Musume
came to the scene 💨.
The mash made for new sake production
to another sake brewery 55km away.
We made two round trips for two days to get it out 🚛.
We were able to press the sake on schedule👍.
The sake will be brewed and bottled
and will be on sale 😌.
This is the sake that remained safely in the brewery in R4BY.
I guess this is the sake that was safely left in the brewery in R4BY
Thankful to be able to drink it...
I had an image of it being sweet.
It's drier than I thought it would be 😋.
In the firm spiciness
It has a gentle, round sweetness and umami.
It finishes cleanly and neatly, leaving a gentle aftertaste.
It leaves a gentle aftertaste on the palate 🤤.
A versatile sake that is easy to pair with any meal 🎯.

Good morning Rafa papa 😃.
It may be a miracle that I can drink this sake, so it's kind of gratifying to see it being drunk even though I didn't buy it myself 🥹.
I look forward to the rest of your North China liquor store tour with Maru 😊.

Hi Rafa papa 😀
It sounds like you were able to fully enjoy the life force of the sake that survived the earthquake😇.
I have not yet hit Shirakikuya on my GPS, so I would love to visit again 🤣.

Hello Manachie 😃
I didn't think I'd be able to buy it either, so I'm lucky ✌️5 types were lined up and I had a hard time deciding but I went with orthodox and went with special jun... 😅I thought it would be good heated up but as usual it was gone before I could drink it 🤣.

Hello Mr. Wakata 😃
I heard that Mr. Suzuki of Iwaki Kotobuki rushed to the site right away 🤣I guess he was able to move quickly because of the hardship he went through 👍Great friendship!

ひるぺこ
Hi Rafa, good evening. I see you have a lot of shirakiku shop 😳I haven't peeked in there lately, maybe I should go there. Okunoto's white chrysanthemum is too good 😊.
