Can't say enough good things about this amazing brewery. Love everything I've ever seen from Ibi. #sake#地酒#日本酒#射美#岐阜#特別純米#無濾過生原酒

Fresh, brash and a bit of fruit punch. Stellar. #日本酒#sake#地酒#姿#栃木#純米#吟醸#無濾過生原酒#sugata#junmaiginjo

The unmistakable Akishika. A staple sake around Osaka - about as rustic as you can get. #sake#日本酒#地酒#山廃#純米#原酒#秋鹿#大阪#osakadrinking#junmai

The sake equivalent of "jazz hands"! Fancy pants stuff from Kitajima. #sake#地酒#日本酒#北島#滋賀#純米#吟醸#無濾過生原酒#junmai#直汲み

Not as cutting or sharp as some 'karakuchi' labeled sake. Quite pleasant ginjo-esque fruity plushness. #sake#日本酒#地酒#生原酒#純米#吟醸#大信州#長野

Enjoying the last few sips of Sanka jundaigin from Ume No Yado in Nara. You can find out more about them in the little write up I did on the brewery in the latest issue of @saketoday #sake#日本酒#地酒#山香#梅の宿#奈良#純米#大吟醸#junmai

The ever reliable Dewazakura made with local dewasansan rice (of course!) #sake#日本酒#地酒#出羽桜#山形#純米#吟醸#junmai#出羽燦々#無濾過生原酒

I'm equal parts proud and embarrassed at how quickly I ploughed through these two isshobins of Ibi. Definitely don't regret it though. Aruten for the win! #sake#地酒#日本酒#射美#岐阜#無濾過生原酒#namazake

Perfect season for some tough-guy Gikyo. #日本酒#地酒#sake#義侠#愛知#junmai#純米#生原酒

Finally had the chance to try Reimei, the only sake brewed in Okinawa. Maybe not quite up there with some of the sake from other regions but hey, at least they're doing it! #sake#地酒#日本酒#黎明#沖縄#本醸造#okinawa#reimei

Such a big fan of this tiny, tiny brewery in Yamanashi. Usually use flower yeast but this nigorizake is ambiguously labeled as made using "a kind of association yeast"...still fine stuff #sake#日本酒#青煌#山梨#にごり酒#地酒#seiko#osakadrinking

Absolutely nothing subtle about this jundaigin namagen from Miyoshikiku. Pumped up perfume! Some interesting changes going at the brewery this year...curiosity piqued! #sake#地酒#日本酒#三芳菊#徳島#junmai#純米#大吟醸#生原酒#ワイルドサイドを歩け

Punchy, dry, rich and moreish. Easy to see why Gangi is so popular #地酒#sake#日本酒#junmai#雁木#山口#純米#無濾過生原酒
