I've been camping & eating paired food at a sake brewery in Kinonene!
I've been wanting to go to Kinonene CAMP ever since I found it.

I was super happy to be able to drink a total of 7 different kinds of sake.
Zenna paired with Daiginjo.
It was gentle and soft. I've always had a bit of a weakness for brewed alcohol, but this one was easy to drink and delicious.
On the way back from sightseeing at Sakura Castle ruins, we visited a sake brewery in Sakurai. It was my first time to try Chiba sake. There is a campsite attached to the brewery, so it might be the best place to spend the night drinking 😁.
The taste of the sake is to my liking, with a fizz and lactic acidity that I haven't had in a while. It's dry with a foamy, acidic and clean aftertaste. This is delicious 😋 I realized again that it is possible to make good sake even with a low degree of rice polishing.

It's been a while since I've been on the corner ‼️
I knew I'd start with Koshi ☝️
I can only hope for the best when it's a light nigori sake straight from the kettle💓
The sweetness is moderate and the mouthfeel is just right 😋.
The light nigori gives it a moderate mellow flavor, making it twice as delicious 😋😋.
Koshi has a nice aroma after all.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😆.
As the name suggests, it's a scent HANAYAKA ‼️
I think I've developed a tolerance for sweetness lately 🤔.
Besides, I was a taste tester on this day 🤣 black.
I can't guess 😅
I received this year from a friend: 🙇♂️
When you open the bottle, the sweet and fruity aroma wafts through the air as usual〰︎🎶
The standing aroma is of malted rice, ripe apples, pineapples, pears, etc. 🍎🍍🍐.
Slightly effervescent on the palate, fresh, fruity, lactic soda🫧🫧.
The second half has a strong pungency. ⚡️
Somewhat modern, but rather orthodox and classic ❔.
It also has a strong sake feel 🍶.
Just my opinion 🤔.
It's more like the cool, cool feeling of dawn that I had been feeling until now.
I had an impression of friendliness and charm this time rather than the cool dawn coolness I had felt so far 😊.

Next up was Koshi.
About an hour after the bottle was opened, the pitch started to pick up. The store owner also recommended one after another on the table.
😅
The 101st check-in restart is Koshi.
Fresh aroma like green apple.
In the mouth, you can feel the gas and the first impression is the opposite of "soft".
It also has a moderate minerality and sweetness, with a "soft" aftertaste as you continue drinking.
We enjoyed it with sausage oden (+ ginger soy sauce).
When I opened the seal, the aroma spread softly.
Newly born sake
Soft and clean
No sense of freshness and violence.
I think this sake is unique in that it doesn't show a strong personality.
I feel that this sake is unique.
This sake was only available by reservation.
I'm sure I'll be back next year👍
