I bought it because I'm a meeja who has a weakness for limited editions😅. It was a limited edition sake from Kiri-Tsukuba brewed by Urasato Sake Brewery, one of my recent favorites, at AEON MALL Shimotsuma. I found it to be more acidic than the original Kiri-Tsukuba (special junmai), which I prefer to the original, but it is also easy to drink! I heard that Urasato Shuzo will be exhibiting at the Young Dawn event, but unfortunately I was not able to visit their booth 😢.

For some reason, I found myself alone in Yamagata over the weekend and stayed overnight in Sendai. The sake in the back of the picture is Sendai station 🚄! I chose this one to drink, which is hard to find in Tokyo (I remember there were also Urakasumi, Hakurakusei, Atago no Matsu, etc.). The first sip was fruity, but the aftertaste was more umami, and the sake was exquisitely balanced! It was late at night, and I was happy to finish this one drink and return to the hotel, but I forgot to stock up on sake at the site 😭. I'm determined to go back again soon, before it snows ‼️ 📍Italian local cuisine and primitive grill Oshika Peninsula Sendai Ekimae (I'm not sure if it's a distance issue or not, but I couldn't tag the restaurant)

I found this at a liquor store in Tsukuba that I frequent. (Technically, it's a can.) I found it at a liquor store in Tsukuba, which I often visit. It was also quite fresh and tasty from the first sip! In a good way, this cup of sake disappointed my expectations!

It was more fruity and I liked it better than Miyazumi's yeastless junmai namaishige that I had the other day! It was so good, it ran out quickly 😂. I hope to stock up on sake in Aizu again soon!

Yuki Sake Brewery lost their warehouse a few years ago. They are making sake by renting a brewery in the surrounding area. This is a collaboration with Raifuku Shuzo and pays homage to Raifuku's super-hot sake. The taste gives the impression of being clean, light and dry!

Sauna trip with high school classmates who love sauna! After sightseeing at Tsurugajo Castle, we went to the nearby Miyazumi Meijo to pick up some Miyazumi! Miyazumi Meikozo is the brewer of 寫楽, but the brewery only sells Miyazumi, a locally distributed sake! I wanted to buy a bottle of 寫楽, but I bought two bottles of Miyasen, this one a limited time offer and a bottle of Junmai-shu! We immediately enjoyed them at our accommodation! Even my friend who is not a sake lover was pleased with the taste, and we quickly ran out of the 4 gou of sake! It was fruity and delicious, even for me, but naturally a bit strong in alcohol! Looking forward to the Junmai sake as a souvenir!

This is my first time to try Dodoshi! I've never been a fan of dry sake, but I was curious about it because I saw it at my nearest liquor store! When I drank it, it had a fruity taste? I didn't really feel the spiciness in the aftertaste? It was very tasty. There was also Yamamoto's Forest Green? There was also Yamamoto's Forest Green, but I gave it up because it was not included in the all-you-can-drink offer,

The dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) and bonito tataki (bonito flakes) at this small Japanese-style izakaya were a delight! The sake was also quite refreshing, despite the heaviness of junmai sake! I should not have been drunk after my first glass of sake that day, but the picture is blurry 😭.

This is a cup of Yukio sake that I purchased at Michi-no-Eki Mitsumata (Yuzawa Town) when I was in Niigata last month. Aoki Shuzo is also famous for Tsururei. It is a pure rice cup sake, and although it has a cup sake feel, it was quite tasty.

A gift! It is very tasty. The first sip had just the right amount of crisp acidity and melon-like juiciness. It had a good balance of fruitiness and acidity. It is also light and easy to drink at 13% by volume.

I bought this Urasato at the 7-Eleven mentioned in the previous post! I guess it is positioned as an out-of-prefecture brand of the Urasato Sake Brewery, which brews Kiri-Tsukuba, which I have been into recently. The label says "Pure Ibaraki," which means that the water and rice are produced in Ibaraki Prefecture! It's a sake like my own that hasn't left Ibaraki since I was born 😅. It tastes like a melon with a melon-like heady aroma, and like Kiri-Tsukuba, this one has become a big favorite 👌.

It is fruity and delicious. 90% of the sake is consumed in Ibaraki Prefecture, and I personally like it so much that I would say it is my favorite sake from Ibaraki. The day after drinking this, I happened to stop by a 7-Eleven near the Urasato Sake Brewery and was surprised to see a corner directly from the brewery. I will be choosing from a variety here from now on.
