Narasake saru's Profile

The label is Samurai, looking powerful. But when I tried this, I found that it was fruity and full-bodied. Although it is Junmai Ginjyo, you can enjoy fruity and acidity from this sake. For beginner of Iwate's sake like me, this is suitable.

This is a very unique sake, which tastes like oranges. This could be because of yeast or polishing ratio of rice grains but I felt another possibility of sake rice grains when I tried this sake.

This is named Kukai? No, this is Soraumi. The label is very simple and cool. The taste is refreshing and a little acidic because of lactic acid.

The label is very characteristic like Nike. But when opened and sipped this, I could sense fruity like melons but it was dry. I want to drink this with seafood caught in Hiroshima. I love it.

This is brewed using No.6 yeast of Aramasa brewery, so it's called "6号への敬意". As the name tells, it tastes fruity and acidic like No.6. I can feel their respect for Aramasa and its yeast from this sake.

This is Natsuzake. When tried this, I could enjoy a refreshing taste like summer and a little acidic because of lactic acid. This brand is called "Eikyun" エイキュン, very lovely.

It's very smooth and fruity. It's worth of buying it.

This is for the national sake competition this year. It's so nice and less acidic. This brand uses No.7 yeast, so it can remind you of Masumi, 真澄. This is different from other Takacho and Kazenomori series. I can feel the brewery's desire for winning this competition from this sake.

This sake is very interesting for its sake rice, blending Yamadanishiki and Hakugyoku (白玉). Hakugyoku is a traditional sake rice cultivated during Edo period. Of the taste, it's fruity like melons and less acidic, best during the meal.

The label is so sick and reminds you of Japanese mythology. This is brewed by Bodaimoto, a traditional brewing method since Muromachi period. As I tried this, I was surprised that it's very smooth. This is hardly brewed, so quite a few bottles are for sale, but it's worth of trying it.

This brewery located in Takaoka, Toyama is very small and hardly sells their brands to other prefectures. Therefore, I had a very rare opportunity to drink this. it's fruity and a little bit acidic like yogurt but doesn't make you feel annoying. According to the owner at the bar, this hiragana version is very rare. I love it.
