Kuroyoh Special Junmai Hiyoroshi
Rice polishing ratio: Koji rice 59%, Kake rice 59%, Sake degree
±0 to +1, yeast #10, 15% alcohol by volume, water: Kuroyoh spring water (very soft water), acidity: 1.4 to 1.5
Kuroyawashiro spring water (ultra soft water) from Wadatoge is used for brewing.
Kuroyoh water filtered through natural ceramic obsidian bedrock is used as brewing water. It is smooth as silk, with a soft touch of contour in hiyaoroshi, mellow but with a refreshing convergence. The brightness of the throat. Bitter from the first, dry atmosphere is not bad.
When drunk hiya-dake, it is a sharp and satisfying sake.
When warmed to lukewarm, it suddenly has a soft and gentle mouthfeel.
I think I prefer it slightly warmed up.
I think this is the first sake from Ueda.
Kokkoku Kokkoku. Soft. The end of drinking is spicy. Sake that draws an anti-circle. The aftertaste is dry. It is a rich sake. The body is thick, with a mature woman in her 50s feel. Yoghurt flavor. 86 points.
Sweetness: 2.7
Acidity: 2.4
Dryness: 2.8

I had it with Shinshu specialty horse sashimi and nozawana greens, and found it to be a well-balanced sake, neither too spicy nor too sweet. I thought it was well-balanced and not too spicy or sweet.
This is a Ding no Kura. My father-in-law gave this to me as I am a sake lover. I can't say enough about the smooth and slippery sharpness of the soft-water brewing.
Shinshu Meisho, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture
Fruity aroma and mouthfeel,
It has a fruity aroma and mouthfeel with an aftertaste that is easy to pull off.
It is a taste that goes well with a variety of dishes.
Good with cold tofu with condiments!

On 4/14, before I went home, I received information about this month's dishes and newly-acquired sakes from my familiar "Enya" 😊.
There were about 5 brands I might encounter for the first time, so I stopped by 😅.
The proprietress said that this week she prepared a local Nagano sake... 🫠.
First time tasting Kuroyoh, it was a refreshing, slightly dry and delicious sake 😋.

I was drunk and hungry from all the drinking at the event in Ueda. I had lunch at "Kusabue," a soba restaurant recommended by my mentor. I had tenzaru and kuroyo. When I ordered sake, I had some nozawana (^o^), which made me feel like I was in Nagano. The sourness and umami are emphasized by the apple aroma, and it is easy to drink. It goes well with pickled nozawana. The characteristic of Shinshu buckwheat noodle is... I don't know the difference between buckwheat noodles, but I am sure it is delicious. Sake, soba and nozawana. The peak of happiness!
After that, I stopped by a souvenir shop and found Akakame-ryo on sale, so I bought it immediately (lol). Then we went back to Saku City and had dinner at a sushi restaurant with my mentor from college. He is not much of a drinker, so I refrained from drinking, and we had Saku-no-Hana Junmai-Ginjo sake (I forgot to take a picture of it!). I thought it would go well with sushi, but it was surprisingly perfect. I was able to talk with my mentor about many things, which made me want to do my best again. I was able to go back to my original intention.
After parting with my mentor, I thought I would go to an after-party by myself, but I was unexpectedly drunk and decided to take a rest today. Tomorrow is the last day. Let's have fun!
Good evening, Mr. Sashu 😊.
It's a wonderful time to have a drink with your former teacher from your student days on your trip to Shinshu and to be able to go back to the beginning of your life.
Hi Mr. Hiraccio Hiraccio, (^o^) I am glad that meeting with my mentor was the main purpose of my visit. When I meet with my mentor, I feel like I am back to my school days. It was really a wonderful time!
Hi Sashu 😃
Sake to go with soba noodles and nozawana! I'm jealous because I couldn't do this due to driving 🥹 You had a good trip and fulfilled your purpose to meet with your mentor 🤗.
Jay & Nobby Good evening😄It was really a luxurious moment (^o^) I felt that this kind of thing is called happiness. I am glad that my mentor is doing well and daring.
