- KuriDrank cold with my Pathfinder group. This sake was delicious! I think it would be a great intro sake for people curious to try. It was refreshing, dry, refined, floral, and tingly, very Ginjo. I will definitely drink this again!

- KuriNotes from Tippsy Sake: This honjozo has a little more color than some sake because the brewers don’t carbon-filter it as much. This helps retain that tantalizing umami taste and a comfortable viscosity, something to give it some weight. My thoughts: Room Temperature - A full, unbridled flavor that sinks into the tongue and leaves some tingling behind as an aftertaste. Warm - Shockingly smooth when warm. I used my new sake heater set for the first time and it was what I’m guessing is nurukan.

- KuriMy last bottle of sake from my Sep 2023 trip to Japan. This was my favorite one from our Fushimi visit - time to remember that lovely trip! At room temperature, the smell is strongly green apple 🍏 with notes of bready yeast. The taste is round and much more mature than I remember it. The flavor lingers on my tongue - sweet but not cloying, slightly tingly with the acid. Delicious! And goes great with the truffle pasta I had with it - umami to the max!

- KuriThe last sake Eddy, Grace, Jesse, and I tried at Fushimi Sake Village. Notes from the brewery: “Fermented with high grade Yamadanishiki rice. The rice is polished for 72 hours, yielding a rice polish ratio of 35%. We utilize an original yeast in Kizakura which gives the sake a floral aroma. It is fermented for more than 30 days at a temperature that is less than 10℃. Enjoy the Hanashofu's smooth texture and beautiful aroma!”

- KuriDrank with Eddy, Grace, and Jesse at Fushimi Sake Village Notes from Tippsy about this sake: The name translates to “Kyoto, city of flowers,” and sets the tone for this sake. Some flowers are soft with a gentle aroma, and others are bright with bold scents. This particular brew is the latter. It’s malty aroma and amber hue hint to its strong, rich flavor brought forth using the kimoto method. The expertly layered flavor pairs wonderfully with steak or other dishes dripping in richness.

- KuriDrank w G, E, & J at Fushimi Sake Village. Delicious! The sake’s name is a combo of miyako, “ancient capital,” & tsuru, “crane.” The portmanteau of miyako and tsuru recalls the 1,000-year span when Kyoto was the cultural, artistic, & political capital of Japan. A smaller Fushimi breweries, Miyakotsuru has long had ties with the Tamba region of Kyoto, from which their brewers historically came. They preserve traditional sake-making skills, and aspire to the crane’s longevity & elegance.

- KuriI drank this pouring from a fun bamboo bottle at Chicago Ramen. It was smooth and mellow cold, went well with the ramen. I would love to try it hot next time!

- KuriCory bought this for me on his trip to Japan, which included a Doburoku Festival in Shirakawago. The label mentions a sharp taste to this sake and they were not exaggerating! It has a sharp, almost spicy flavor complemented by an almost unctuous richness. Delicious and fascinating!
