Next is nigori. This one is nigori, which is only available at direct sales. But you could buy it online✨. The aroma is of grapefruit 🟨, The supernatant has a hint of gas, a beautiful umami flavor, and mild acidity. The alcohol is 19%, so it is a little heavy. The sweetness of the lees and the grapefruit-like flavor combine to make it sweet and juicy, and the acidity builds up to give it a silky dry finish. The acidity builds up and finishes with a silky dryness. Lukewarm, thick, tangy, but enjoy the rich sweet-umami flavor 😍Light aftertaste! Hot sake, tingling is strong and makes you feel zingy... but the sweet and tasty flavor is refreshing. The hot sake is very strong and zingy, but the sweetness is refreshing. This was the best way to drink it ✨

ICHIRO18, please excuse me here as well: 🙇‍♂️ It's only available at direct sales! And it's freshly squeezed nigori 😍! It's a very high strength and heavy type, it would certainly be delicious warmed up 🍶. I envy you that you can get to the brewery 🤤!

Good evening, ichiro18! I've never seen Azuma Kai before, and I'm curious about the sake from Chiba as I don't come across it very often 🎵. I'm sure you can enjoy drinking nigori in many different ways 😋. I'm surprised that you can buy the direct sales only online 😲‼️

Good evening, ichiro18 ✨ I guess you went from Aqualine 🎵It's a nice discovery that the best way to drink hot sake is to cool it down naturally 😆🍶🍶I'm learning a lot 😋.

Thanks for this one too, Chirsta 😃. This nigori was also unique and delicious ✨I'm tempted to buy the direct sale only 😍. But this rich flavor is delicious and highly recommended😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😃 I think there are only a few liquor stores that sell it here, even less in Kansai 😅But it's a delicious sake, so I'd like to try it from now on 😊.

Good evening, ichiro18! 19% alcohol seems to be quite a hefty drink 😆 but I would like to experience the rich and thick taste 🍶.

Good evening, Pinocchio 😃. I wanted to go there by Aqualine, I read in other reviews that the restaurant serves the food after it has been heated up and cooled down a bit, so I tried it and it was good 😊.

Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃. I liked the rich taste, not to mention the doburoku 😊I felt it was good for Japanese to enjoy this kind of sake slowly while warming up under a kotatsu 🥰.

I purchased "Shiboritate" and "Nigori" from Koizumi Shuzo of Higashi Kaimori. It is a brand name of Higashi Kai only, without "Mori". I wanted to try them because Mr. Chesta had mentioned them in his review. I've been to the area near the direct sales place, but I haven't had a chance to go there often, and Hiro-san had tasted a lot, but I couldn't drink it when I drove there, so I ended up buying it online 🫣. The aroma is of rice and grapefruit🟨, with a hint of gas. It has a strong and delicious flavor, with a hint of grapefruit 🟨. The acidity is gentle, and it slowly finishes with a bitter taste. It is refreshing and easy to drink 🍶.

Hello ichiro18 😃 I thought you went to the brewery, but you bought it online 😄It takes a long time by train & bus 😅If To Kai is easy to drink, it means they have a good selection of sake 😁.

Good evening ichiro18 🌝. I see, there is also a brand called To Kai 🤔. The one I had was more sweet, but it's nice to have a refreshing sake that focuses on umami acidity like this one instead of all being the same type 😊.

Good evening, Hiro 😃. I have to learn from Hiro's energy but I just popped in 😅 so Hiro's energy to go there by bus is amazing 😍. I got the impression of modern and delicious drinks 🥰.

Good evening, Chiesta 😃. I didn't have any luck with the Mori, but the Tokai was a little unique but delicious ✨. I'd like to try their signature brand next 🥰 I like the beautiful label and I'd like to try the sweeter version too 🥰.

☀️ Masamune hunters go today🍶. The second purchase at the brewery is Masamune. This is the second Masamune I'm looking for 😁. I could drink it at the tasting corner, but it was also sold at the store. I am a proud Masamune hunter after all. I can't stop with the tasting 😤. So I bought some 😆. Now, open the bottle 🍶. The sweetness reminds me of peach🍑 or melon🍈. It has a rich sweetness, but the finish is light and not cloying 😚. Occasionally, there is a super micro carbonation 🫧 that is stimulating. Like it wasn't there at the time of tasting🤔. Well, it may have been a while since I opened it, and I am sure the super micro carbonation is what it really is: 🙂‍↕️ The flavor is rich and sweet all the way through, and the ginjo aroma tickles the nose😊. As expected from a gold medal winning brewery, this Masamune was a top-notch creation 😊. The third and fourth photos are of the exhibits in the museum attached to the brewery: ⚱️ To Kai Masamune is a brand that existed in the early Showa period 🤔. Nice Masamune👍

Hi Hiro, good evening 😃. Your expedition to Kururi is a great achievement.......you drank a lot of sake in one day and got the two Masamune you were looking for......nice Masamune👍.

Good morning, Hiro 😀 When I think of Masamune-san, I imagine a classical taste on my own, but this one seems to be a modern type of sake 🤣. I would like to try this Masamune-san 😀.

Good morning, Yasbay 😃. It certainly has a classical image, doesn't it? This brewery has a brand called Tokaimori, which is also available outside of the prefecture, and I believe they can make modern sake as well. If you see it, please visit ❗️

☀️ I bought this on a visit to a brewery😁. It has a light pink 🍑 color as it seems to have a peach colored yeast. It is an apricot type sweet and sour with a viscous sweetness and heavy acidity. The water throat feels sharp, and the balance between the viscous sweet and acid and the spicy throat is the best 🥰. Refreshing yet satisfying. ⤴️ I killed it in the blink of an eye, partly because it's low al 😅. I'm a bit of a grain-sucker. Grain Sukesuke, which became an extra frame due to the lack of photo frames. This one also had a refreshing apple taste and was easy to drink 😘. The last picture is of the museum attached to the brewery 🏠.

コタロー
Good evening, Hiro-san 🌙 I see that there is a kind of yeast called peach yeast instead of red! But it's an example of pink low-alcoholic sake, the sweet and sour kind that kills you in a blink of an eye 😆. Sounds delicious...I'd like to try it 🤤.

Good evening, Kotaro 😃. Yes, it's not red or crimson yeast 🤔. It's very easy to drink, so if you see it anywhere, please give it a try 🤗.

☀️ I like the picture of sunflowers 🌻. The banana🍌 type of light sweetness and bitterness at the end is impressive. I didn't take a picture, but they also had liqueurs, plum wine and yuzu sake, it was a tasting paradise 🥳. After we were satisfied with all the drinks, we went to the food and beverage corner in the building and had the specialty ❓Daiginjo ice cream 🍦😋. It is said to contain Daiginjo ingredients. I couldn't tell the difference between it and regular ice cream. Maybe my taste buds were ruined because I had tasted quite a bit 😅. The 4th picture is of the inside of the building taken while eating the ice cream 🍦🤳. After finishing the ice cream, it was getting close to time for our return bus 🚌, so we bought the drinks we wanted and headed to the bus stop. It was such a nice place that if it were nearby, I would have gone there for the free booze 😊.

☀️ Tasting from the end, I found an unusual label 🏷️. I'll definitely have to post this one 🤩. Is it set in Edo man and woman 🤔? I wonder who the model is ❓ etc. but there is not much information 😔 Yosaburo. It has a sharp taste with a hint of bitterness. It is dry and suits gentlemen well 😎. OTOMI It has a sweet and sour taste with a clean and dignified aftertaste. It is the type that can be recommended for ladies 💖. I would recommend this combination to those who like dry wine. I especially recommend it to those who consider themselves gentlemen and ladies 😁. I didn't know Koizumi Shuzo was producing such a variety of sake types 😌. It's fun to visit a brewery and learn about all the different types of sake 🤗.

☀️ After taking a train 🚃 and a bus 🚌 from Kururi Station, we came to our next destination, Koizumi Sake Brewery 😄. It's a magnificent building 😳. The parking lot 🅿️ is large, as the traffic is not so convenient. But there seems to be a lot of people who come here by car and can't drink 😅. I'll take the bus 🚌 so I'll have a drink 😁. There is a tasting corner on the left when you enter. You can drink almost 20 different brands "for free" and "on your own" 😍. What an amazing 🤩! I'll start with the president's top recommendation 🥰. Daiginjo This sake has won a gold medal and a certificate of excellence ✨. The sweetness and umami are perfect, with a great aroma and a subtle bitterness at the end, a model sake for awards 🍶. Shikon Sweet and umami as well, with a distinct bitterness at the end ☺️ Like Kangiku, the bitterness at the end is a characteristic of Chiba sake 🤔. Yume Kanae Beautiful label ✨. Clear sweetness and smooth throat, clean and unctuous, very easy to drink 😚. There are still more sake lined up for tasting 🍶. This place is a tasting heaven😇

Good evening Hiro-san 🍶. When I was thinking about a sake brewery tour in Chiba, I thought that the timetable of the line of Higashi Kaimori's brewery is quite unbalanced 🤔.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃 To Kaisori, you had the one with the simple label 😁. If you want to go there, a car is convenient, but the problem is that you can't enjoy the drinks 😅.
