National Sake Fair 2025⑬
Ibaraki Prefecture ④
Kiuchi Sake Brewery in Naka City
I've seen them selling single-batch bottles at stores that sell imported food and wine, but I've never had it.
I've had Yuzu Lager from Hitachinonest Beer though😅.
Are they more famous for beer or plum wine?
I drank
Kikumori Natsuhatsugetsu Nama Junmai Ginjo
Polishing ratio 50%, 15%, 2200 yen
Sweet but with a strong acidity and sourness. It has a unique taste.
It tastes as if it were a 🫶.
Kikumori Pure Ibaraki Kaze to Mizu Junmai
Polishing ratio 55% Hitanishiki Hitachi Yeast
Brewed in wooden vats. The acidity is also impressive.
It is fire-aged but feels fresh.
