National Sake Fair 2025㉕
Ibaraki Prefecture⑯
Isokura Sake Brewery in Kasama City
We drank
Inazato Junmai Ginjo Hoshi, shipped unfiltered and unpasteurized.
Polishing ratio 55% Hitanishiki 17%, 2,200 yen
Overall, it is mild but also has a bit of character. It has a strong rice flavor. I think there are some off-flavors...
Inazato Hibi Kore Kohichi Junmai Daiginjo
Polishing ratio 40%, Kasama-grown Hitanishiki, 15%, Ogawa yeast, 3,960 yen
According to the official website, this sake is on display.
Dry but gorgeous, with a sweetness that follows later.
I thought both Inari had a strong rice flavor.
Ibaraki booth had only 3 kinds of sake on the list at the time of announcement, but there were a lot of sake not on the list on the day of the event 😅.
