亀甲花菱美山錦純米吟醸原酒生酒中取り

Purchased at Kamaya Sake Shop in Kazo City. When I visited Kamaya (Kisai, Kazo City) at a previous brewery opening, I also bought some Kameko-Kabishi, a sake from a nearby brewery, because it was recommended to me! (According to what I was told, although they brew very good sake, it is difficult to find a successor and they could go out of business at any time.) The first sip had a gorgeous impression, but then the bitterness and umami also started to rise, and finally it became dry. It was a complex flavor that seemed to have all the taste elements of sake condensed. It was a complex sake with all the elements of sake concentrated. It had a strong sake flavor and was well integrated, making it a highly complete sake. The alcohol content was over 17 and under 18 degrees Celsius, so it had a strong alcohol taste! There were other sake rice varieties (such as Sake Musashi and Yamadanishiki), so I would like to try those as well.

Following Raifuku, Fog Tsukuba. It is stable fruity and dry. There is no way to miss it. The omelette and yakisoba were also delicious. (I don't know if it's right as an accompaniment to sake, but...) (I don't know if it was the right thing to eat with sake, but...) At the end, I received a mysterious rice ball as a souvenir.

Tanuki-san pioneered a Japanese-style izakaya nearby! I was surprised to find that they have a surprisingly large selection of sake, When in doubt, I went for the local Ibaraki sake, Raifuku, for the time being. I had bought the same sake at home last month and drank it, so I knew how good it tasted, but it was fruity and delicious all over again.

Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito) I like the balance of sweetness and spiciness with little acidity, and want to drink more and more. It is slightly sweet and refreshing. Before the Jizake Train, we stopped by KURA SAUNA IBARAKI, which was reserved for a private party and was the perfect setting 😆.

Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito) It was a medium-bodied, well-balanced and delicious sake! The second photo shows the station building at Iwase Station, where we stopped for a restroom break on the way, and in the back, a view of the local sake train. There was a restroom in the train, but the train also has a restroom stop, not a restroom break!

Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito) The name of the train is "Yusara" (mountain cherry peach). It has a strong taste. It tastes like a pure sake. The sense of maturity escapes from the nose. However, the mild taste makes it easy to drink. But it is easy to drink with a mild taste, and you can feel the strong flavor and drink it with high satisfaction! It was delicious! The photo shows Mt. Tsukuba from inside the Mito Line train.

Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito) Fruity and wine-like taste. It is sweet, juicy and delicious. Just as the name suggests, it tasted like green apples. It was also low in alcohol. The photo shows the snack box lunch from a cafe in Yuki City, a souvenir badge, and a commemorative sake. The commemorative sake distributed in the train was also made by the Urasato Sake Brewery. I am looking forward to drinking it later.

Jizake Train E501 SAKIGAKE 2nd Anniversary(Yuki→Mito) We participated in an event where we could compare local sake from Ibaraki while enjoying a view of Mt. The first sake we drank was this one. It tastes like honey and has low alcohol content. My companion won this sake in a raffle held on the train! It was nice to talk with the brewery staff. The label was designed by a local Tsukuba University student with the image of this sake in mind. The label and the taste matched perfectly!

As you may have guessed, this is a local limited edition sake from Kobayashi Shuzo, the brewer of Houou Mida! We procured it at Michi no Eki Omigawa, a roadside station in Oyama City! When I drank it, I found that it was not as gorgeous as Houou Mita, but it had just the right balance of fruity and umami flavors, and it was great 😋.
