Hakuryu Special Junmai Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama Sake.
This sake is made by Yoshida Shuzo in Eiheiji-machi, Fukui Prefecture.
I learned from Nemuchi's post earlier that Hakuryu has a Hakuryu from Niigata Prefecture and a Hakuryu from Fukui Prefecture.
I only knew about this Fukui Hakuryu😅.
I had a quick drink at Asano Sake Shop Umeda while shopping 🍶.
The exterior is a warm clear crystal.
The aroma is mellow and sweet like grapes, with a slight magic ink freshness in the alcohol.
Smooth mouthfeel with a sense of freshness.
The crisp, refreshing sweetness and firm umami spread along with a gaseous, fine acidity dustiness, and the acidity is light and gradually lifts.
The lingering aftertaste is a gentle sensation of acidity and alcohol.
There was no bitterness, and it was easy to drink cold.
It would also go well with warmed sake.
It's not something that gets a lot of attention, but it's the kind of quality sake that keeps sake lovers like us going.
It was delicious and you could taste the freshness of the freshly squeezed sake!
Thank you very much for the sake!

Good morning, Aladdin!
I learned about Niigata's "Hakuryu" from "Sake-no-wa" 😅.
And the other side is [Hakuryu Sake Brewery] 🤔.
It is one of the breweries that has been supporting Eiheiji together with "Kuroryu", so they are very good at what they do 😁.

Good morning, Gyave 😃.
I didn't realize that Eiheiji is famous for Koryu 😳Koryu and Hakuryu stand side by side 😅Koryu is huge, but Hakuryu is also a good sake and you can find it in Kansai 😄.

A refreshing drink.
The carbonation is dry and tangy, but then softly mellow and discreetly sweet.
It is like the refreshing feeling you get when you drink a refreshing wine.
Still, it has the perfect balance of sweetness and sharpness of rice that will make your back grow firmer!

Yuki
It has a clean mouthfeel, but a gorgeous rice sweetness that spreads quickly.
The slightly smoky aftertaste is a very nice sweetness that gently envelops you.
Slightly slightly carbonated.
A touch of bitterness on the bottom side, and then the sweetness wraps you up for a clean finish. Delicious!
Japanese>English
Yuki
It has a sour aroma, but when you drink it, the clean and sweet taste spreads instantly and is very tasty!
The aftertaste leaves crisply, so it goes well with any dish.
Personally, I would like it to have a bit more of a lingering aftertaste, but it would be nice to drink it while thinking about the soft sweetness of the rice!
Japanese>English
Yuki
A refreshing drink.
Softly fragrant rice sweetness and soft texture on the tongue.
The aftertaste is refreshing, but the sweetness lingers on the tongue, leaving a lingering sensation that can be enjoyed for a long time.
It is best when paired with seafood with a strong sweetness, such as crab or shrimp!

This is the second of Kaze no Mori's 25th anniversary commemorative sake, Future Sake II.
The theme is the world of high temperature fermentation.
Utilizing the summer brewing technique of "Goshu no Nikki", this sake looks to the future where high quality sake is brewed by controlling active fermentation of low polished rice under high temperature conditions.
Akitsuho rice from Nara Prefecture is brewed with a milling ratio of 90%, almost as low as that of edible rice.
The appearance is warm crystal.
No sense of gas can be seen after the bottle has been opened.
The aroma is of ripe mango mixed with refreshing acidity, banana and melon with a fresh, rich sweetness and acidity.
There is a positive magic ink aroma and silky nuances of white flowers that are gorgeous and refreshing. ☺️
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel the stimulation of light gas on your tongue.
The wine starts with a deep, fruity sweetness, which is quickly followed by a refreshing acidity, and then it finishes.
The lingering acidity lingers for a long time, and the hints of aroma are refreshing.
As you continue drinking, the acidity stands up and becomes more refreshing.
Roll the bottle to let the air in, and the acidity will fly away and you can enjoy the sweet flavor and minerality.
It is very tasty, just like Kaze no Mori (Wind Forest).
If you don't ask, you won't believe it's low-milled.
Here's to the future of Kaze no Mori as it celebrates its 25th anniversary 🥂.
Thank you for the food 🍶.

I purchased this along with Junmai-shu on June 3.
It too had a robust flavor.
The bottle is cute and I will display it alongside the bottle of Junmai-shu.

We drank at home on June 3.
It is a sake named after my favorite serial drama, Ranman.
I had been looking for a bottle for a while and finally got it.
It was a powerful sake that did not match the cuteness of the label.

I drank at home on May 12.
Actually, a year ago, when I visited Tamba, Kyoto, I stopped by the Mukai Sake Brewery in Ine on my way to see the boathouse in Ine.
I was curious about the red sake there and bought a bottle of Ine Mangaka as a souvenir.
It was a shock to me, as I had always thought that sake was a liquor that I was not good at due to my own preconceived notions.
Since then, I have been gradually getting into the sake swamp...
Since then, I have searched for various ways to drink this sake.
In fact, I am ashamed to say that it was through my search for this sake that I learned that there is a season for sake.
I am grateful for our reunion after a year.

I've had it outside but can't remember, so I'll try it again. It has a tropical sweetness, but the rice flavor and richness is very strong. It is low in alcohol content, so it is both refreshing and drinkable.
The acidity becomes more pronounced as the temperature rises.
Pepper Salmon Mai was a gift from the King of Noodles and Sake.
I was sad to find out that it is no longer in production 😭

Good evening, bouken🌙
I like the taste and the label 😆👍I liked it the best out of all the summer liquors because of its strong taste ❣️
I didn't know they don't make Pepper Salmon Mai 😳I wanted to try it 〰😭

Good evening, Ponchan 😃
I like that it doesn't feel light or lackluster as summer sake tends to be 😊.
They sell one similar to Pepper Salmon Mai at the convenience store, but I thought the flavor that comes out when you chew it is totally different 😋.

Gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a clean, light and beautiful sweetness. Although it is jungin, the taste is so beautiful that you would think it is daiginjo. Is it because it is made by hanging it in a bag?
It is delicious, but maybe too elegant.
It would have been better if it had a little more umami.

MIRROR🍎MIRROR is an unfiltered unpasteurized sake from Shirasugi Shuzo in Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture.
Shirasugi Shuzo is the only brewery in Japan that specializes in brewing rice.
This time, the sake is made with Association 77, a yeast with high malic acid productivity, so the name "Mirror Mirror" is derived from "Kagami yokagami," which is a reference to Snow White!
This sake won the highest gold medal (out of 55/1054 sake) in the premium junmai category at the "Taste in a Wineglass Sake Award 2023".
The exterior is a brilliant clear crystal.
The aroma is of ripe sweet apples🍎 with hints of whey and koji acidity. With the added freshness of alcohol, the sweet and sour freshness has a nice feel.
The first sip is a rich sweetness that is pure and gentle, and it disappears with a light sourness.
The richness is balanced with a refreshing and good balance.
As you continue to drink, the sweetness is accompanied by an acidity that is refreshing and sweet and sour, with a sweet finish.
Rolling over, the acidity leaves and soft sweetness can be felt.
It is quintessentially delicious.
It is more refreshing than kijoshu and perfect for an aperitif.
Thanks for the treat 🍶.

This is a top-quality junmai daiginjo brewed in extremely cold conditions at low temperatures for a long period of time, and the mash is separated in a centrifuge.
As a daiginjo, it is highly aromatic, has a delicious flavor that entwines with the tongue, and has a good sharpness.
