Sasazuru

Izushi Shuzo Hyogo

Mellow Traditional Hot Temperature

There are various theories as to the origin of "Rakurakutsuru," but it is said that the name "Rakurakutsuru" is derived from the name of a place called "Sasaura" near Kinosaki Hot Spring located about 20 km from the brewery, the name of the villa of the lord of Izushi Castle, Lord Sengoku, called "Rakurakuen," and the name of sake, "Rakuraku," which is also called "Sasazuru. The name of the villa is said to be "Rakurakuen" and the word for sake is "Rakuraku". The word "crane" is said to refer to the storks that lived in this area. The top aroma has a strong alcohol flavor. It is a very rich and mellow sake, as it is a pure sake. I don't want to compare it to other sake, but it has the feel of mellow shochu or spirits. However, it is a sake (I don't like the term "sake", so I call it "alcohol"), so it is somewhat mellow, not that harsh alcohol. It's easy to drink, so you can gobble it down with a gulp, and (for me) it's a bit of a kick.

Sour! Not at all Not sweet at all! It is surely delicious even if it is cooled down to a crisp! It will be good not only for Japanese food but also for Italian and French food..., Delicious!

Light, little insistence, went to Kinosaki to eat crabs, choice for dinner at an inn.

Kin-Sen🍶. Otona no Himitsu Club, Aomori Complete Trip🚃Day 2 The second cup of the stove train is also sold in the train. It's very spicy. Quite spicy. It might be better to drink it with SURUME (Japanese white radish) 😅It would be better to drink it warmed up. Tsugaru Railway Stove Train 🚂Sales on board @Tsugaru Railway 20240127

Japanese>English

The first nuance, the impression of small white grapes, may be characteristic of low-temperature fermentation. The line is a little thin, but the balance of umami and acidity is good, and it is a taste you want to keep in your mouth for a long time. It has a good balance of umami and acidity, and is a taste that you want to keep in your mouth for a long time. It is a delicious sake with a pleasant alcohol taste after it wears off.

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty. I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.

OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑰. This is the booth of Marumoto Sake Brewery, a sake brewery in Okayama. The company cultivates its own rice through "San-Ou rice cultivation" (organic cultivation in which the rice is starved three times). They also make a very sweet sake, which is my favorite, and I talked to them 3-4 times in total. Takebayashi Junmai Ginjoshu Organic EARTH SCIENCE. The moment I drank it, it had a sense of maturity, but it was full of sweetness and umami. When I asked him about it, he said it had been aged for about 2 years. It was still delicious 😋. I couldn't talk much with the brewer this time, but I told him that they are promoting their products.

Local Neighborhood Sake My parents got it as a golf prize. I didn't know when I lived in my hometown that Ikeda City in Osaka Prefecture and Itami City in Hyogo Prefecture were the birthplace of sake and developed Morohaku-zukuri! Ikeda Sake It has a crisp, light and dry taste, like a honjozo sake. I had it cold, but it would also be good warmed up.

Vice Shogun Junmai Ginjo 60% 15%, 720ml, 1,320 yen It is clean and moderately dry. It is good for a mid-meal drink because it is a little light. If you are tired of "Umakuchi", you should try this "Vice-Shogun". M310 makes ethyl caproate, but I like it because it doesn't smell bad. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0 perfect) 20230416

Purchased at a convenience store in Mito!　The aroma is mild and pleasant, the rice tastes great, and the way the Meiri yeast is handled is amazing!

Koshinohatsume

Takanoi Shuzo Niigata

Ramune Silky Delicate Mellow Nectar

Hamamatsu Arigatamaidai ## My preconceived notion when I saw the label was fresh! The taste is... The taste is surprisingly robust. The aroma after opening the bottle was slightly sweet 🤔. I think it's sweet and goes well with all kinds of snacks😅.

Japanese>English

It’s tasty

After a long week of work, it's time to relax with some sake ✨Taste the unknown sake at SAKEPOST 👍. The aroma of this Koshino Hatsubai was not so strong, but the taste in the mouth was mild and free of any unpleasant flavors. It has a mild taste with no cloying taste on the palate and a refreshing taste down the throat 🍶. I would like to drink more than just one glass of this sake.
