Another brand of Imi no Kura! They say it's the same tank as the Jun Gin from the Imi brewery. It has sourness and bitterness in the sweetness that is typical of Imi. It's like a sake-within-a-sake! I've reserved a bottle for next season and I'm looking forward to it😆.

It's been a long time since I've been to Ruyi❣️. Seems like it's very busy and hard to get reservations. Here's to another reunion with old friends! We started with nigori sake. Sweet and tasty from the acidity.

sonorous Whenever I went to my grandma's house as a child, I was always greeted with these words. The nostalgic words were pasted on the warehouse ✨. Chiyonohana Special Junmai! Sweet and juicy 🍈🍍🍓. This is my favorite 🥰. I heard that this special junmai is the last nigori ‼️ I heard they couldn't make nigori sake when they made a new bag for straining 💦. They might not be releasing nigori next season 😅

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!

I have always been curious about this sake. First, let's take a sip. Smells more like candy than fruit. Banana cake, lychee, yogurt, freshly baked pound cake, very ripe peaches. No sign of activity. Concentrated! Concentrated syrup. Tart on the tongue with a good sweetness, ripe fruit like pears, green apples, and some alcohol as when the fruit is quite ripe. Finishes with bitterness, acidity and sweetness and has a long finish. Good and amazing. Power. It's drinkable with a splash. Shake a few times to mix and drink. Rice, milky smell. The rice flavor, sweetness, and sourness of the rice spread out in a flash, and the doburoku, or doburoku, has a fruitiness that surrounds the main rice flavor, and the bitterness comes in and gives it a nice sharpness. The rice is almost completely melted, so it is smooth and refreshing. Delicious! A few days later, after shaking and mixing, it did not separate even after a few hours. The alcohol feeling gradually faded away, and when I drank it, I could feel the strong rice flavor spreading out, sweet and mellow, like a dessert. A delicious drink.

Japanese>English

There are several alcoholic beverages that have been neglected for almost a year since I bought them, and this is one of them. Let's open the bottle to see what it tastes like! It's so easy to drink! Doburoku is generally considered to be a rather difficult liquor to drink because of its strong acidity and various other strong habits. But what is this doburoku! It's not so sweet or sour, just enough to give a gentle taste of the ingredients, and it's easy to drink! For those who like that habit, it may be quite insufficient. However, I like it this much better now. Other doburoku seems to take a little more getting used to. The rice mash is not that strong and has a mouthfeel similar to muddy sake. If I am wrong, it may even be easier to drink than the more habitual muddy sake... lol. Combined with the PET bottle container, it felt like Koiwai apple juice. Are my nose and tongue going crazy? I can feel the apple feeling somewhere. The packaging is probably a parody of the classic movie Leon. I found a funny one on Twitter, so I'll post it here.

Japanese>English

In a word, sour! From sourness came a slight sweetness. Strength of fermentation.

We were honored to have the opportunity to visit the Umaue Sake Brewery in Hiroshima ❗It's a rare sake to drink, and we had to have another one 😉. So this one is made with Ginpu! The other "Hodashi" is made with Kitashizuku and they are offering a sake that will make the people of Hokkaido happy 🎵Sounds great ✨. It's still dry and refreshing ❗It's the kind of sake that will flow well with very fatty meats 😋.

The last stop at the Yamabusyu Sake Brewery was the 3-sake drinking corner The 7th sake in total Freaks 1 Nigori This is the one I'm used to drinking 😊. The aroma is grain flavor + yogurt type When you put it in your mouth, a slight sweetness spreads along with a gaseous feeling. Followed by the acidity. Finally, bitterness appears. The sharpness of the wine makes the aftertaste short.

I smelled it on my son. It smells like a flower 😂. I gave it to my wife. It's so good! I thought it would be sweet but it has a clean aftertaste! Result! It's so good😋

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

Softer the second day, but a big flavorful drink with a bit too much cotton candy sweetness for me. Has an intense bitterness on the finish as well. Not my favorite.

When I went sightseeing in the old town in Hida Takayama, I stopped by a store that was not a sake brewery but a direct sales store where I could sample sake for a fee. It is located right in the middle of the tourist area. This is the Oda Sake Brewery, the originator of Onikoroshi. Older Sake Brewery Kamiminomachi Branch You put a coin from the server and drink it. A coin is 300 yen for 36 ml. Hida Boast Onikoroshi Junmai Namaishu It is fresh but dry with a strong alcohol taste. Junmai Ginjo Hida Takayama I selected this sake by looking at the sake level, and found that it was the same as the one I drank at the Japanese Sake Festival. It had more flavor than the previous sake and was a true sake. There was a signature of Wakako Sake with "Pshu". 🖊️

I had an image of astringency, but my tongue is sweet! The aftertaste is also refreshing!
