The impression is sweeter than other Harushika wines.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you can smell the sweetness of the rice, and later, a crisp and refreshing taste spreads from your throat to the tip of your tongue.

Purchased at Harushika in GW.
Sake made with Narano-Yaezakura yeast.
I bought it because it was the most impressive sake I had in the sake tasting set.
Most of the others were ones I had already had in the past😅.
It's not sweet and sour, but the sweetness and sourness stand out. It also has a slight smokiness.
Is it possible to get smokiness from cherry blossom yeast?

I'm sorry, bouken-san, but I'm also 🐰🐰 here.
I also drank Gojogawa cherry yeast sake by Isao Heki, and it looks a bit similar 🌸 lol Shiki also offers cherry yeast sake, so I'd like to try it!

Did you go to the brewery opening before? I'm so jealous 😆.
I'm relieved to see someone else has the same opinion 😁.
I've never had Shiki's so I'm curious 🧐.

Continued😁... Before I go any further, I'd like to add something to my last post.
You can drink 5 kinds of sake for 500 yen 😋.
You can also sample Nara pickles made with sakekasu (sake lees) for only one coin 😆.
I was also able to drink a sparkling Tokimeki as a bonus.
If you go to Nara, please visit 🤗.

The staff who served me my drink at the table I sat at spoke English and was conversing with a foreign couple.
When the couple asked me a question about alcohol, the staff stopped 🐰-san who was passing by.
I answered in a few words of English, but I hope they understood me.
He said he was interested in Daishichi Namahashi and Yamahai Kikuhime 😅.
I heard from Mr. 🐰 that the staff knows about Sake no Wa 😁.
I was about to buy some sake and go home when 🐰-san appeared 🐰-san 💃.

We tasted a variety of sake, including some that were sold out and some that were very expensive.

It was a short but fun time 😊.
I'm running out of words 🤣.

Good morning ☺️
Sounds like you are having a great time. I would love to meet you, Usagigoten🐰.
I rarely go to Nara even though I go back home. There are still a lot of places (including sake breweries) that I haven't been to: ⭐️

Hello bouken, ☀️
I knew it was going to continue 😁And with the appearance of 🐰🐰, it just keeps coming out 🤣It was a great tasting 👍I remember I had to cut it down too because I didn't have enough words 🤣.

Good evening, Ane-san😊.
If you go there on the day when 🐰-san is there, you will have double the fun 😁I think Kansai people don't go to Nara for sightseeing (no disrespect intended 🙄 ), it was less crowded than Kyoto and more comfortable 😆.

Good evening, Ponchan😃.

I didn't go very far during GW, but I went to Nara.
I took the Kintetsu train, but the train coming in from Hanshin was wrapped in Nada Gogo wrapping, so I thought it was too good timing 🤣.
Even though there was only one train 🤣.
After buying sake at Noboru Sake Shop in Tenri, I went to Harushika in Nara City.
I wondered if they were there since I hadn't told them that I was going there beforehand. I looked around the store and saw him at the sake tasting corner 😊.
🐰's table was full, so we went to a different table 😥.
I was hoping to at least say hello to him, but he walked right in front of me and I waved to him and he noticed me 😁.
The sake we tasted.
Super dry
Harushika's signature product. Some people may think that Harushika = dry due to the image of this sake, but that is not the case, okay? The name "super dry" might make you think it's too dry, but it's easier to drink than you might think.
Super dry Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo
It is more "namagen" than the first one, so it has a lot more guts.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
It is easy to drink because it is watered down, so it is refreshing and fruity.
Yaezakura in Nara
Sake made with cherry blossom yeast. I bought it.
I didn't take a picture, but I also drank an active nigori, Shiro-miki, and a sparkling Tokimeki.
To be continued?

Sake tasting at my favorite Harushika brewery 🦌.

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.

★★★☆☆☆ / Cold sake
It is easy to drink for a 17% sake.
It has a freshness and tight umami characteristic of nama-shu. You can also taste the sweetness of the rice. However, a bitterness peeks out in the aftertaste.
Japanese>English

★☆☆☆☆ / Cold Sake
This sake is said to be made from 100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture.
The alcohol content is slightly high at 17%, but I thought it was refreshing and easy to drink. However, it does have a strong sake taste! LOL!
The ginjo aroma is gentle and reveals the flavor of rice.
It won the gold medal in the premium heated sake category at the National Heated Sake Contest 2019, so it's a sake you'll want to try warmed up!

koge2, nice to meet you 🐰.
Thank you for posting the Harushika sake tasting. The limited edition sake for this year's Kura Matsuri is our first attempt at brewing a limited edition sake, so some of our regulars comment that it doesn't taste like Harushika.
We look forward to seeing you again 🐰🍀.

Good evening, Mr. Usagi-Goden.
I went to Seibei Imanishi first after I finished my business in Nara without paying attention to Kasuga-taisha Shrine, Todaiji Temple or Nara Park.
If I have a chance to visit Nara again, I will definitely drop by.

100% Omachi
The richness of the wine explodes when it is raw. From the moment you put it in your mouth until after you swallow it, the rich and sweet flavor slowly takes over your mouth.
