The sake was easy to drink, and lived up to its reputation for being "popular among women. The impression was of a mellow, fruity flavor that spread as soon as it entered the mouth. The sweetness does not persist, and in general, it is an easy-drinking sake that goes well with all kinds of food.
(Cold sake is best).
It is a casual sake that you can usually buy at supermarkets when you visit Fukushima Prefecture.
Gekiyumi, a summer limited edition from the Nagurayama Sake Brewery.
It was a lightly sweet sake, somewhat like a ramune.
July 11 was the full moon of July [buck moon 🦌🌛]. "Buck" refers to a stag, and its horns grow back at this time of year. On that day, I was lying on the futon with my daughter watching the moon peeking through the clouds and the orange-tinged moon [oil moon].
Now, let's go have a moon-viewing party with the moon on the following day: 🌕️🍶
Nagurayama Tsukiyumi Winter Limited Brewing Shiboritate Unfiltered Nama-shu Junmai-shu.
I saw a review of "Tsukiyumi" by Matsuchiyo and fell in love with the label.
The full moon is intoxicating, but I also like to watch the faint crescent moon when it is fully squeezed 🥰.
[Glass.]
Sweet and fruity aroma of rice, juicy flavor and sweetness with a good mouthfeel, and a slight bitterness behind the fresh sweetness that lingers on the palate with a gentle aftertaste.
[Mokkiri]
Sweet rice aroma, fresh flavor and sweetness on the palate, followed by a gentle kick and a pleasantly intoxicating, mild aftertaste.
The entrée is aji-sashi (horse mackerel sashimi) from Echizen, seared swordfish from Chiba, and chilled tofu with raayu (Chinese red chili oil).
The sweetness of this dish is very strong, so it goes very well with the slightly spicy "chilled tofu with chilled chili oil" and the salty "seared swordfish".
By the way, the other day I read a newspaper and found a difficult to read surname, Mikazuki (朏魄 = Mikazuki) 🤣.
The fourth one is the moon as seen while drinking on the 12th, the day after the full moon: 🌕️
The orange-tinged hue of the moon as it was just starting its ascent from the famous local mountain [Mt.
It's called an "oil moon" ✨, which appears orange when there is a lot of water vapor in the atmosphere, as I mentioned in my review.
Good evening, Mr. Jive.
I love your tsukimi sake.
I know it was the next day, but your photos are beautiful too ✨.
I also like Nagurayama sake, but I've never actually seen Tsukuyumi, but I have the impression that it has a strong sweetness that I would like 🤤.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
The other day when we were walking together, we asked ourselves "what is a stag beetle in English?" I looked it up and found out that it is Stag Beetle and stag: a stag! You could also call it a Stag Beetle Moon 😄.
Good morning, ma-ki-.
The weather was not so good on the day of the full moon, but on the following day [16th night], the air was cleaner and we could see the beautiful moon 🥰.
The description on the label even describes it as [beautiful sweetness]!
Hi Jive 🐦.
I see that Nagurayama has a brand of the month 🌕️ I'm interested in Nagurayama and would like to try this one too 😊.
I didn't know CAPTAIN STAG meant that! I'm learning a lot about Sake no Wa...
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
I see that you drank "Nagurayama" a while ago, and "Tsukiyumi" seems to have a sweet taste, so please try it 🥰.
[I've been reading your reviews on Sake-no-wa, and there's quite a lot of trivia in there ✨.

This is Gekiyumi from Nagurayama Brewery.
The top aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth, refreshing sweetness with a hint of yogurt-like acidity.
It is well-balanced and delicious.
The second picture is the brewery of the Nagurayama Sake Brewery in Aizuwakamatsu City.
It is also located in the middle of a residential area.
It was about a 15-minute walk from Miyazumi Meizumi Brewery.
Good morning, Masaaki Sapporo🌞.
Yes, I have no connection to Fukushima, and to be honest, I haven't been drinking much there.
It was a good opportunity for me to get to know the place better 😊.
Hello Mr. Muro😊
I have been to all the breweries in the Aizu Basin except Obara Sake Brewery in Kitakata, Aizu Nishiki and Hanaharu in Aizuwakamatsu.
Since you are local, let's visit all the breweries in your area 😆.
Fukushima's "Tsukiyumi" was recommended as the second sake at the sake school, and was a little spicier than the first sake, "Koshi". We were able to experience the variation of the dishes and Tomomi Nama sake.
