Junmai Nama-nama sake with firm acidity and umami. It has a fermented food-like flavor and seems to go well with Tohoku meals. Traditional flavor, different from the impression of the name.
Since it is a nama-shu, a pleasant acidity comes in. It tastes a little sweet and has a lingering umami flavor. It has a freshness that is pleasant. Umaumauma.
Actually, the third kind, this one was my favorite.
It has a fruity and slightly fizzy taste.
I enjoyed the lightness of this Hyakushun because Pinku no Yukikko was a little heavy.
Hyakushun is also a brand new to me!
It was a fun night with many firsts for me in Iwate Prefecture!
When it's cold, warm noodles are the best!
I will be back in Morioka next week for work!
Someone has planned a fun little year-end party for me, so I'm excited and nervous 🍶🍶🍶🍶!

The second one is also a first for me, Murayu!
This one is refreshing, easy to drink, and to my liking!
This is a brand often seen at Sake-no-wa.
Alcohol content, only 16!
Other than that, it's a mysterious sake that is shrouded in a veil 🍶.
It was cold at lunchtime, so we grilled meat with gusto!
our knowledge
This sake has a sweetness that is typical of Murayusuke, but the gentle acidity makes it bright in the mouth and conveys the deliciousness of rice.
It has sweet and sour fruitiness and mellow rice sweetness. We do not disclose the ingredients of this sake because we want people to see the taste of the sake itself without being bound by stereotypes.
Good evening, Eririn-san. There are many good places to drink sake in Morioka, but this is my favorite place to relax. Please stop by after visiting Sakamoto Sake Shop. The master is a nice guy.
The time for last orders is approaching!
In that case, I would like to compare three kinds of sake!
I asked for three kinds of sweet sake!
When I asked the master what was coming up, he replied, "Don't tell me.
There it is!
It was my first time to try PINKU no Yukikko!
It's a sludgy, gorish sake!
It's not as sweet as it sounds!
It's more like a dry sake!
Even though it has a Sake meter value of -77!
Is there something wrong with my tongue?
I'll drink it with the other two slowly, forgetting about the time until the end of the day 🍶.

I found a beautiful vertical shocking pink-like bottle in the cold storage in front of me.
The master of the restaurant is also agitating for one more glass of this.
I have to ask for more before they run out!
Next 5 Haruka (Spring Haze)
The first one that came out in August!
If I find it, I won't let it go.
I asked them to pour it into my glass before they ran out of Akabu!
It's not as fruity as I thought it would be when I take a sip!
Instead, you can taste a bit of bitterness, but it is followed by an unmistakable sweetness that goes down your throat!
Next 5, I have conquered 4 of them this year!
I hope to see one more (Isshaku Suisei) somewhere in the future!
The three kinds of sake lined up in front of us are Iwate sake!
The members in attendance are drinking!
They say it's delicious, delicious!
Good!

This year marks the 12th anniversary of NEXT5, which was formed in the year of the tiger in 2010, and we are once again in the year of the tiger.
The concept of this project is to let you taste the characteristics that the five breweries have acquired over the years.
Unlike previous joint brewing projects, only the rice used for the brewery's sake is the same, and the rest is left to the creativity of each brewery!
This is a challenge befitting the 12-year milestone of the brewery, where each brewery's ingenuity is pitted against each other using the same rice.
The "Kougen-Shinko" and the original Kameyama Yeast, a yeast isolated from the brewery
Good morning, Shinshin SY! (^o^)
I didn't expect to find this at Unmeenosu in Eki-naka.
I sometimes drop by there to have a drink, but it's quite a well-stocked store, isn't it?
Tomoyuki Kumagai, thank you for your comment. Unmenosu, you have a lot of good sake. The master said that he only put in Haruka at Colors. He always has something unusual on hand.
The other day, as I was leaving, the master told me that he had some Akabu AKABU Junmai Daiginjo Gokujo No Zan Nama Sake on hand, which costs 11,000 yen per bottle. He said he would also offer it in 30 ml bottles.
Good evening, Shin Shin SY! (^○^)
I wonder how much 30ml of the finest Nozan is?
But I really appreciate the opportunity to try out various sakes in small quantities to expand our relationship.
A light snow is falling in Morioka.
Since we are staying at a hotel attached to the station, we go straight to our favorite restaurant, Unmenosu, without going far tonight!
A preview of the restaurant from the time the Shinkansen arrived.
Last order 8:30 p.m.
On the desk, there is a notice saying "Akabu Snow Christmas" 🎄.
Of course we will have it from the start!
Lightly Nigori Draft Sake!
Hee hee hee!
Delicious!
This is my first time at Akabu Snow Christmas 🎅!
Actually, I had a little bit of food in my stomach before I came here, so let's just drink it with a light offshore pickle.
It's a race against time!

Good morning, Shinshin SY 😃I have a Snow Christmas sleeping in my house too 🎄I'm looking forward to seeing your post 😆 I feel like I want to visit the store in Morioka when I go back home. I love what I see in the photo of your fridge 💕
Good morning, Wakata-san. That's great news. I'm sure you'll enjoy it 😋 This restaurant is near the station, so it's a great place for business travelers to have a drink while waiting for their bullet train to arrive, and then hop on just in time to catch it. They have a wide variety of drinks 🍶.
The third type is Hyakujuro.
I did not know this label.
SUKEROKU Junmai Ginjo Nama
It is lightly nigori (lightly cloudy).
It is less sweet than Imanishi, but fruity.
The acidity of light nigori is also good.
It was almost time for the train to leave.
After paying, we had a chat with the manager.
He said he would come back again... and change the selection again!
I am looking forward to it 😊.
extensive knowledge
The "Concept Worker's Selection" Hyakujuro at the Hayashi main store in Gifu, Japan, has undergone a major renewal for the fourth time, and the second product with a Kabuki theme is "SUKEROKU".
The characteristic aroma is its fragrance. It has a fresh aroma of beautiful green apple and melon. Although the aroma is rich, the sweetness does not spread too much, and it finishes clean and sharp. It is well-balanced and wonderfully finished.
It uses "Super G Yeast," which was developed by Gifu Prefecture and finally approved for use in April 2019.
The eye-catching Kabuki renshishi label is the work of Mr. Nojima of the "Regional Design Institute" in Hiroshima. It was designed with the keywords "tradition," "kabuki," and "overseas" as the image of Hyakujuro.
Waiting for the Shinkansen near Morioka Station
Stopped here recently
3 snacks and omakase sake set for 1000 yen!
I'm looking forward to seeing what they serve!
Ahhh, it's Akabu!
And it's Yamada Nishiki!
Fruity and delicious as expected 😋!
I'll have a little bit of it!
extensive knowledge
Mr. Ryunosuke Furudate, the young master brewer of Akabu Shuzo, used "Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture" for the first time last year.
This year, the second year, the taste is more beautiful than last year. The taste of "Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki" is much more advanced than last year, with a clear throat like the sky of Iwate and a subtle sweetness that soothes the soul.
Rice used: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio: 50%.
Sake degree: ±0
Acidity: 1.4

When you come to Iwate Prefecture, you have to go to Akabu!
This restaurant had Yunokou!
The exact opposite of the Yubi!
We finished it in no time!
Drank the rest of the winter moon Shugetsu on the Shinkansen!
Work before Golden Week is safely over!
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom at the place Eririn-san told us about!
the knowledge of the Japanese language
Yunokou" is the best sake rice born in Iwate Prefecture, and was produced over a period of 10 years in Iwate Prefecture in the hopes of "creating a sake rice comparable to Yamadanishiki. It is a clear and pure sake rice with a low level of impurities.
This limited edition sake is made with Yunokou rice. It has a modest ginjo aroma reminiscent of muscat and lychee, with a relaxing, sweet aroma. In the mouth, the clear sake quality and sweet, fruity flavor characteristic of Yui no Aroma flow smoothly down the throat. The more acidity you taste, the clearer the flavor profile is, and from the moment you take a sip, you know that the taste is delicious. All the flavors are in the right balance for this sake, and it shows its high potential without regret.
Good evening, Shin Shin SY 🌆🌆.
NEWBORN Yui no Koka is really delicious ❗️
All NEWBORN is delicious 😁.
Cherry blossoms 🌸beauty for 👍
Are you in the northern part of the prefecture❓
Haruei Chichi, I was in the mode to drink Akabu since I came to Morioka. I'll keep ordering it when I find a NEWBORN 🍶.
The 🌸 in Morioka city was already scattered, so I went to Shizukuishi as Eririn-san said.
Thank you Eririn for your guidance. I enjoyed Akabu and the cherry blossoms 😋😊The Kobo cherry blossoms were quite scattered from the rain and wind a while ago, but they managed to hold on. Ipponzakura and Koiwai's cowshed were great 🌸.
Good morning, Shinshin SY ☀️.
I️have a single cherry blossom 🌸If the weather is good, it's the best ❣️‼️.
Green and blue sky, white mountains and pink cherry blossoms 🌸is a spectacular view 🤣.
Good morning, T.KISO. I enjoyed the beautiful cherry blossoms. I was very impressed with the contrast of various colors 😊I took pictures in panorama 📸.
I found the beauty of the sea
At a restaurant in Morioka Station
First time to try it!
Barrel, aged barrel flavor
The aroma of Akabukiyu to contrast!
It was only an hour-long soiree!
We also saw the cherry blossoms.
the knowledge of the wine
As the name of the barrel suggests, wine barrels are used. The finished Imi is unfiltered raw sake that is aged in wooden barrels without filtration. It is characterized by its whisky aroma, sweetness, and flavor.
