I received a drinking set from a colleague. When I think of Iwate, Akabu is the first that comes to mind, But there are more than 20 sake breweries in Iwate alone. It was nice to have a variety of sake, not just the popular ones.

National Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_70 Iwate Prefecture booth ⑤. Fukurai Shuzo is located in Kuji City. There is also a Raifuku Sake Brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, so it looks like a mix-up. ◉Fukurai Special Junmai Fukurai is made from Ginotome sake rice. It has a soft mouthfeel, but the taste is rich and dark with a sweet umami flavor that is quite to my liking. The brewery is located in Kuji City, famous for being the location for NHK's morning TV series "Amachan".

I bought it because a liquor store in my neighborhood started handling Tajima. I was surprised at how fruity it was. It is fresh, moderately sweet, and delicious. It is a more modern sake than I expected. After drinking this after the first time, it feels more like a sake 🤔.

Japanese>English

This sake was tasted at the Kobe Hankyu event and made a good impression, and was highly praised by Nemuchi-san. A liquor store in my neighborhood became a special distributor, but I was wondering why they didn't carry this sake. It was in the fridge of a point system sake, so I thought 😅😅I thought, "No way, I can buy it normally. I thought so, but I was able to buy it normally😅. It's confusing💦. The rice is Hyogo Nishiki. Sweet aroma. It is fire-aged but has a quite rich flavor. It is better not to cool it down too much. It is a little smoky.

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

Japanese>English

New sake is ready this year too 🍶🎶Shirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake 😊.

Japanese>English

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen 🤔. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

Purchased at a liquor store in Nakazaki-cho after an event at Ogimachi Park with Nemuchi The design looks like something you'd find in a bottle at an izakaya 😅. Normally I wouldn't pass it up, but I thought it looked unusual and bought it. It's been a year since it was made, but I don't feel it's aged too long. It is light, refreshing and easy to drink.

Japanese>English

Type: junmai daiginjo, rice polishing rate: 50%, alc.: 16% Floral aroma, vanilla, marshmallow and a little bit of savoury aroma. Flavor feels dry with sharp acidity and bitterness of alcohol. Earthy flavor lingers for a while. Not too good not too bad. Decent price here in Europe.

Drinks consumed at the lunch buffet I had the impression that it had been available in all restaurants for a long time. The taste was "safe". Low alcohol content, no peculiarities Good for lunchtime drinking.

Junmai sake with a new sensation. It has a sweetness of rice and a slight sourness that you have never had before. It has a peculiar taste. The taste is quite light, good for sake beginners? The alcohol content is 9 degrees, perfect for tasting with a meal, snacks, or something else. If anything, it is dry.

Looks like it would be good hot. I drank it cold 🤭. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

At Kaki-numa-san. Choice by recommendation. It is another brand of Koganezawa which was damaged by the earthquake. The president's beloved daughter became a toji The president's beloved daughter became a toji (brewer) and the father and daughter are making sake together. It has a sweet aroma of lactic acid. The first sip was not so impressive. But on the 3rd and 4th day The sweetness and umami increase It is a delicious sake that asserts itself👍. The Senkou Yuumachi that we are drinking at the same time is also delicious, but but this one is not to be underestimated either❗️

Japanese>English

The fourth one today is here 💁♂️. This is also 100% Omachi, but it was easier to drink than Matsumidori with less sweetness 😋.

Japanese>English

At the usual BAR (4) This will be my first time at this brewery too✨ The master recommended this fruity sake as it is my favorite 😊. The top aroma is fruity and fruity: ☺️ The aroma is a beautiful apple-like ginjo aroma with a clean sweetness, low umami and acidity, and almost no gassiness. I searched online to review the taste and couldn't find this sake, is it a limited edition? I should have asked for more details from the master 😓.

Unfiltered raw sake & Asahi rice for 2,530 yen including tax is a super deal ‼️ It is not so fresh, but has a refreshing mouthfeel with a slight sense of maturity. The rich umami comes in smoothly, and the finish is crisp and tight. It has a good balance of bitterness, bitterness, and sweetness, and is the type of sake that one does not get tired of drinking as an unfiltered, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. It is a good sake to drink with food or as an evening drink. ❗️ It was delicious. ❣️

Japanese>English

It tastes a little bit like aged, but it has all the sweetness, flavor, bitterness, and spiciness you would expect. It tastes like tea. It tastes like apple tea. It is a slightly different type of flavor. It tastes juicy, sweet and spicy. Some people may find it spicy, but it's a subtle taste.

The ultimate muddy! 100%, no, 120% muddy. It was my first time! I twisted the lid and thought it wouldn't blow out, but when I let my guard down, it started to blow out and I hurried to close it. I spilled a little bit. I decided to think it was an angel share. It wasn't, but.., I poured it into a glass, and it was a sludge. I wondered if there was any top liquid in Shirakawa-go and Hida. I am happy to see that there is no top clear water in Hida. In the mouth, a good sense of heaviness. Very satisfied! The taste is, of course, gorigo nigori! So it is delicious,

Japanese>English

This Sake is light, clean and dry. There is a cucumber flavor that I found hard to detect because of the broiled saba I was eating. 😛

It tastes like a dry amazake with a fizzy, fizzy taste, full of flavor, and very drinkable.

This sake was tasted along with the Junmai Ginjo I posted earlier. We were there when the store opened on the first day of tasting and sales, so all the sakes were unsealed, so we were able to sample them in fresh condition. I recommend going on Wednesday when the store opens 😆. It is Rokumaru with 60% rice polishing ratio. It is the same as Shinomine. It has more richness and umami than Junmai Ginjo. It is suitable for warming up.

Japanese>English

A little bitterness on the nose and bitterness on the tongue. It tastes a bit like old-fashioned sake. However, it goes well with boiled fish. It is like a flavorful addition to fish. It would have been nice to have some local fish, but since we were drinking at home...

I have had it, but this will be my first post on sakewa. I had an image of Kunika as light and dry, but it has a sweetness with a banana🍌 feel. It also has a melon-like melon sensation after a day. It has a very good balance and is good as a food sake or a light snack for dinner. A stable Shizuoka sake 🍶.

Shizuoka Business Trip Part ㉔ Last week, on my way back from Mishima, I stopped by Nagashima-san in Numazu and bought some sake from Kunika Sake Brewery. The aroma is refreshing and clean 🤔. 🤔In the mouth Beautiful and soft 😊Refreshing acidity and a good umami taste 😚👍and it's a delicious sake that I never get tired of drinking 🥳.

Japanese>English

Purchased at Vinos Yamazaki in Kyoto after buying Daina at a liquor store in Saiin After this, I went back to the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the Yaichi main building and to Takimoto - Isetan 😊. I really wanted the Vinos limited edition Isoboast, but the date was a year ago, so I avoided it💦. It's also February 24 😅. I thought about how to read "kunika", "kokka", etc... but when I looked it up, it's "kokkou". Reminds me of Cocco for my generation 🤔. Drink at room temperature. It's lightly colored. It's been almost a year, but there's no sense of aging. It has a classical flavor and a little lactic acidity, but it's still light and refreshing. I'd like to try some of their raw sake, though I didn't have any this time. Like Isobojiman, I think Shizuoka sake is a good choice for me 🤔. I was saddened to hear that this brewery is already out of business 😿.
