Imanishi Harushika Sake Brewery (春鹿醸造元今西清兵衛商店)

Kiyotaku

A 500 yen sake tasting at Harushika: 5 different kinds of sake plus an extra sparkling sake. The first sake, 2023, was dry but very easy to drink and would go well with any food. The third one was a sealed sake that I could drink in gulps like a juice. The smoked Nara-zuke (pickles) was delicious. I heard that this year's sake brewery tour was fully booked, so I would definitely like to participate next year.

Very easy to drink. After swallowing, the aroma spreads to the nose at once. It also has a little bit of a schwarziness. I visited Umenoyado's new beautiful factory and got it. I was curious about Mikku sake in the Aragoshi series of my favorite Aragoshi Momoshu, so I will try it next time. It's only available for a limited time, and I need to hurry!

It has a strong umami flavor. I had it at room temperature, but it would be better with hot sake.

The aroma spreads in the mouth as soon as you drink it, and you feel a bit of a shuffle. It is sweet but light, refreshing and clean. I felt like guzzling it down. I had a sake called "Ura Gassan" at an izakaya in Shimane, but this sake gave me a different impression.
