Iraka Sake Brewery is the "newest sake brewery" that has completed construction of a new brewery and started brewing in the fall of 2024. We had "Kuro" and "Ai" last year, and this time we opened a bottle of "Beni". The first sip was a beautiful sake with a smooth acidity and a subtle umami flavor that quickly settled on the tongue. As we continued drinking and the temperature rose, the fruity umami expanded, which was also delicious. This sake is more enjoyable as a food sake than Kuro or Ai, and can be served with more substantial dishes. Although it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, the alcohol content is only 15%, so you will not get tired of drinking it. It is a little extravagant sake, but we hope to see more of it this year. Delicious: ‼️

Hi Takatsugu 😃 As you said, it's a luxurious bottle 😅 but it's certainly a sake with high expectations for the future at the same time 🤗.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby! It's a sake brewery that's a hare for the price, but I'm curious to see what the future holds 🍶I can't drink it every day though 😅.

We opened a bottle of "Sparkling Polka Dot Label" from "Purple Space" that we got at a liquor store where we went on a short trip. I opened the bottle slowly and safely, taking care to read the warning: "Be careful when opening the bottle (⚠️). The bubbles that are popping and expanding look like water bubbles. Pour it slowly into a glass that can also be used for wine. At first, the wine is an unmixed golden color. The taste is fruity and delicious, and goes down your throat easily. Next, we stir up the turbidity. The bottle turns cloudy white like a slow dome. The taste is a gentle flavor with lactic acid bacteria. This is a wonderful sake that gives a glimpse of two different faces when the bottle is opened and stirred. I would definitely like to drink it again next year. Delicious ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Heart Label" draft sake from "Purple Space" that we got on a nearby expedition. Brewed with 100% Gingin rice, Iwate Prefecture's best rice for sake brewing, it has a pleasant acidity and a fruity flavor that comes across straight away. The taste is straightforward, with a pleasant acidity and fruity flavor. When reading the description on the back label, the phrase "Bring back love! comes to mind when I read the description on the back label. I would like to enjoy the other series of "Murasaki Uchu". Delicious ‼️

Today we opened a bottle of "Mimuro Cedar" zodiac sign bottle that we received. It is a new sake made from Mimuro Sugi's Bodai yeast. The stylish year of the snake label is very cool. The taste is a beautiful sake with a pleasant and clear acidity that goes down the throat easily. The alcohol content is kept at a low 13%, so it is easy to slip into your pocket like a snake and be swallowed. This is a bottle that I really wanted to drink all year round, not just in the zodiac bottle. Delicious ‼️

We opened a bottle of "Snow Label" draft from "Purple Space" in Iwate, which we got on a nearby expedition. I was surprised to find that local liquor stores do not carry this brand. Whenever I find a bottle, I always end up picking it up. This is the first time I have had the "Snow Label". The taste has a pleasant acidity and a moderate flavor. The aftertaste is clear and disappears like melting snow. This is delicious. This is a bottle that will make you want to try other brands of "Murasaki Uchu". It is delicious. ‼️

Our family's annual New Year's sake. Asakai's new rice brewed sake. Junmai Nama-no-Harajiku. It has a robust impression with an alcohol content of 18 degrees, but the taste is well-balanced with a beautiful combination of umami and sweetness, and the flavor is packed with even more umami. It is a versatile all-purpose sake that can be used as a food sake, and can be matched with both Japanese and Western cuisine. This is a bottle that will make you say "I'm going to drink good sake again this year" as you enjoy your regular sake. Delicious ❗️

The beginning of the drinking of my favorite "Ni-Usagi". This year, too, the bottle was opened from the bottle of the Chinese zodiac. A cute bottle with a rabbit happily facing a snake charmer. Instead of the snake, a gentle fruity flavor creeps up on you, and you are wrapped in a euphoric feeling. This is one bottle that I feel I will have to keep an eye on Maruishi Brewing again this year. Delicious: ‼️

We had a lot of delicious sake this year in 2024. Here is the last of such drinking for this year. This is Kuroryu's limited edition sake No. 88. This is a little luxurious sake for special occasions, collected in a tank with the number 88, which is auspicious for the end of a long line. It has a clear flavor and umami without any cloying taste that goes down the throat smoothly and cleanly. It gives the impression of a round, transparent crystal ball that a fortune teller might hold. A bottle to wish for the next year to be another year of enjoying sake. Delicious ‼️

Recently, Tetorigawa has been hitting my taste buds. This time, I opened a bottle of "Shiboritate," which I had never had before. It has a slightly fizzy, fresh, fruity sweetness and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. It has just the right amount of salt, and although it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is kept at 14%, so once you start drinking it, you can't stop. It is the best new sake of the season. ‼️

It has a robust flavor and can be easily matched with a wide range of dishes. I suddenly felt that it would be perfect with horse sashimi from Fukushima. Delicious. ‼️

When the words "new sake" dance on a sake bottle, one's heart also dances. In high spirits, we opened a bottle of Izumihashi Shuzo's "Yukidaruma Label" today. Unlike the other labels, this Snowman Label has many overwintered eggs. The taste has a strong Omachi-like flavor with a refreshing acidity and a clean, gorgeous aroma. It is not a seasonal sake, but one that I would like to drink on a regular basis. Delicious: ‼️

Iraka Shuzo, the "newest sake brewery," completed construction of a new brewery and started brewing in the fall of 2024. We opened a bottle of "Ai" following the previous "Kuro". Ai" is a beautiful sake with a fruity, clear, refreshing flavor that easily fits on the tongue. It has a clearer taste and moderate acidity than the "Kuro" and is easy to pair with food. Although it is unfiltered raw sake, the alcohol content is only 15%, so it has a good balance of drinkability. It is a little extravagant sake, but we have high expectations for next year's sake and beyond. Delicious: ‼️

My favorite rabbit sake. Instead of my favorite "Ni-Utsu", I opened a bottle of "Shiro-Utsu" from "KUROMATSU SENKYO". The aroma is pleasantly fruity and gorgeous. The taste has a juicy flavor and acidity that spreads in the mouth. When stirred lightly, the white rabbit jumps around in the bottle. This is a wonderful sake that you can enjoy both in appearance and taste. I definitely want to drink this bottle again next year. Delicious: ‼️

I opened a bottle of Nyi Wolf for the second time this year, which I picked up by accident. The concept is to change the theme every year and try a different tasting sake than Nirauto. This year's theme was "Low Refining. It is brewed with 80% polished Aizan. It is slightly golden in color. It has a clean taste with pleasant umami and acidity. Although it is a low-polished sake, you can taste the rich flavor that is typical of Aizan. This is a concept of "low-polishing" that is not seen in Ni-Rabbit. We hope that Nisato will make the most of its experience with this sake and make it a staple of the Nisato lineup. Delicious: ‼️

Today, we opened a bottle of Drunken Whale Potato Chip Marriage Set from KOIKEYA as a sake that goes well with potato chips. This junmai ginjo is brewed with Ginpu, Hokkaido's preferred rice for sake brewing. It is a food sake with a clean taste and a touch of acidity. We have had this sake every year recently, but this year's was lighter. The potato chips are "Bonito Sake-Tobori Flavor". It has a soft aroma of yuzu and a strong aftertaste of saketobori. When paired with sake, it adds a nice umami flavor in addition to the sourness. The concept of matching sake with food also attracts me to this bottle. Delicious: ‼️

Yami Naraku Akimizu" is one of our favorites from Eiko Fuji. By coincidence, this is the second bottle opened this year. It is a delicious sake with an interesting and beautiful acidity and umami that easily fits on the tongue. It is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake with a slightly high alcohol content of 16.4 degrees, but it is easy to drink. I would like to drink it again next year. Delicious: ‼️

Today we opened our 10th anniversary label, a Bizen Omachi draft sake from our favorite "Nito". When you take a sip, a pleasant umami and a hint of nourishment spread sizzling on your tongue. What remains is a sense of euphoria. When you take a bite of the mirin-dried mackerel as a side dish and drink it with a sip of this sake, its delicious flavor spreads and it is a perfect match. The cute label makes you want to drink it with your friends as a celebratory sake. It is delicious. ‼️

I opened a bottle of "Tenju Daiginjo" from Akita's Tenju Shuzo, which was given to me as a congratulatory gift and which I am receiving for the first time. It has a gorgeous aroma and a rich flavor that spreads in the mouth. It has a strong flavor that will not fall apart even when served with Chinese food, not to mention the delicious autumnal flavors of the season. The alcohol content is high at 17%, so this is a bottle to enjoy slowly on a long autumn evening. Delicious ‼️

When poured into a sake cup, it was slightly effervescent. Tasted without any preconceptions, it is a beautiful sake with a fruity, clear, and refreshing flavor that fits easily on the tongue. Mr. Tanaka, who was in charge of brewing Daishinshu, is the toji (master brewer) of this sake. It is no wonder. I can't wait to see what kind of sake he will brew in the future. Delicious. ‼️
