HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2024③. Rakuraku zuru? Tano-no-zuru? No, it's Sasazuru 😁. Izushi Sake Brewery's 200 year old red clay warehouse still exists. Even more acidic than Sennenichi. Overall, it is refreshing. I thought it would be extremely spicy, but it is quite easy to drink. Of the B set, Nada Ichi is my favorite. I heard later that this brewery doesn't make it anymore and that it might contain sake from a famous brewery in the Tajima area 🤔. 🤔. It's ok if it tastes good even if they don't brew it themselves 😋. I was also interested in the King Brewery Inami that koge2 and Wakata-san were drinking, but I decided to skip it this time because it's available at Yamaya and I don't need to drink it now!

Japanese>English

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.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku. I bought it at the end of last year at an antenna store in Toyama. I didn't know about this brand. The color is a light amber. The color is pale amber, and the flavor is just as it should be. It's relatively easy to drink because it's crisp and not overpowering, but it didn't seem to suit my partner who likes floral and sweet flavors. It didn't match well with the grilled chicken, but I think it will swell up with time, so I'll leave it for a while. It's quite a unique sake, and I don't dislike it!

Japanese>English

I have had Taitozan before, but I don't remember much about it, so I bought it for the first time in a while. It has a slightly astringent white wine-like aftertaste with almost no sweetness. I think it is best to drink it with fish dishes, which is a standard white wine. Since it is winter from now on, yellowtail and radish would be delicious. I, of course, drink it only with sake.

Japanese>English

The first drink at Ishininkin in front of Toyama Station. It is dry but not too strong.

Takeuchi Sake Brewery, which is closed on Sundays, so it was hard to come here. Dry taste❗️ It goes well with sashimi. Please give our best regards to Kanoizumi.

Drink and support 📣 Hokuriku sake This time we will have Nene, a sister brand of Shirakiku from Okunoto! So, be careful! The aroma is full-bodied sweetness derived from grains and elegant and clean acidity. When you taste it, it matches the image of the aroma perfectly! The moderate sweetness and elegant acidity are the best match, and it's extremely delicious! It goes well with food, especially Japanese food 👌 In addition, it has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, so it goes down smoothly. It was the right decision to buy a bottle! I will drink it with care...

The rice used is Yume-Ichikyo and Yamadanishiki. So called "light and dry". It does not feel that dry. It is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste.

Japanese>English

@sakebar Fukuzo Kobayashi Shuzo Honten located in Umi-cho, Fukuoka. I guess the representative brand is Bandai. This will be my first time here too 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and sweet umami flavor. The slight astringency gives it a sharp finish. Delicious 🍶✨.

A refreshing and crisp sake typical of Echigo breweries. Serve it warm. Sake is a breeze created by local rice, water, humanity, and nature. This is exactly what I feel, and I feel the brewer's message and sensibility in likening it to the wind.

Japanese>English

Smooth and sweet around. Smooth with flavor.

Light mouthfeel. The umami slowly creeps up on you. The description "Myoumi desu-dan" shines.

This is the second of the three bottles I bought at the supermarket the other day. This is the first time I've had this brewery. I was wondering why there was only one bottle left at the store, but I was curious, and I was going to buy one bottle of Eikoh, but I picked it up. It's sweet but easy to drink ☺️.

Next, Yokobue. This one is also described as dry, but compared to the first glass of Reito, it was fruity and less spicy! It was easy to drink and I downed a whole bottle in no time!

YOKOBUE - Junmai-brewed Ume-shu (plum wine) 720ml Ingredients: Sake, plums, glacial sugar Alcohol content 11%. This was purchased at the brewery's store in November. This plum wine was the best among all the ones we tasted 😀. After the 3rd day of Honkin, I drank straight Umeshu (plum wine). 11 degrees, but I got drunk very fast. Sometimes plum wine is good... â
