The last one today is Togakushi in Nagano. This was also a first. It was a little sweet, but light and refreshing. I am starting this week in a good mood.
Togakushi Junmai Ginjyo Nama Zume (1st)
It is quite refreshing and seems to go well with sashimi.
It's a little short for me, but it's hard to find in Tokyo and the cosmetics are great (under 1500 yen for 720ml).
Togakushi Junmai Ginjo (2nd page)
This sake has a sweeter taste than "Togakushi Junmai Ginjo Namazume" and is my favorite (modern) sake.
Probably because it is fresh and juicy due to the fact that it is not fire-aged.
It has a very mild mouthfeel. Since it is a Nagano sake, you would think it would be spicy, but you would be surprised at how soft it is. It has a relatively long aftertaste, so you can enjoy it all the way to the end.
This is a brand that I haven't seen very often.
I picked this up when I went on a trip to Nagano, thinking that I didn't go to Togakushi because of time constraints.
It has a gentle sweetness that you can feel the flavor of the rice.
In the second half, you can feel the spiciness.
Purchased in June 2021
A green apple-like aroma is discreetly fragrant.
Thick mouthfeel. The acidity is gentle but fresh. The sweetness is clearly perceived, but the impression is simple and clear, and it seems to penetrate the tongue, yet it is light and refreshing. It has a simple but addictive sweetness reminiscent of tortoiseshell candy or syrup.
This is a bottle that is tannic, but has more potential than youthfulness. Personally, I am looking forward to the autumn Hiyaoroshi.
