I won it in a sake gacha at a brewery-operated drive-in near Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi station. It was mellow and sweeter than expected. It was like a good old-fashioned daiginjo.
Zankara, which means "cutting spiciness," is recommended for those who want to taste sake-like flavor. It is a regular sake that can be served at various temperatures. Recommended dishes: classic Japanese cuisine and simple flavors (sushi, cheese, etc.)" (from Gunma Sake Brewers Association website)
It is a very refreshing sake. It's so refreshing!
I paired it with salmon and drank it straight through.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
It has a robust taste, gorgeous, mildly sweet and mellow, with a hint of freshness.
Every time I go to Gunma, I buy Asama Shuzo's sake!
It has a samurai-like design and a blood splattering color, and it has a sake level of +15!
I couldn't help but be curious about this one, so I bought it!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was dry. It also has a savory aroma like steamed rice.
The dry, light flavor and the richness of Junmai are well balanced on the palate, giving it a slippery sensation.
The acidity also makes it taste slightly citrus-like 🍊.
It smells like ginjo, and in a good way, it is not like Junmai!
The aftertaste is also refreshing and easy to drink from start to finish👍.
I thought it would be a simple dry sake, but it was surprisingly fruity and refreshingly delicious!
Sake received as a souvenir from Gunma. The label is fancy.
Easy to drink for a dry sake.
Junmai-shu is a must for dry sake drinkers.
For a sake like Higen
Higen was created with the desire to create a sake that customers would dream of tasting again. The sake is brewed in the lush greenery of the Azuma Valley in Gunma Prefecture, known as the "Yabakei of Kanto," and uses soft water from the Asama mountain range.
The sake is brewed at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level under the slogan of "making sake that goes best with vegetables in Japan.
Spiciness and deliciousness. A solid drinking experience.
A very dry sake with a sake strength of 15. Zankara, which means "cutting spiciness," is recommended for those who want to taste the true flavor of sake. It is a regular sake that can be enjoyed at a variety of temperatures.
Purchased at a drive-in called "Sake Brewery" of Asama Sake Brewery.
It was served hot, but it was dry and refreshing. It goes well with vegetable tempura.
400 yen gacha 5th class at Asama Sake Brewery in Gunma! However, it was a tasty 300ml, easy to drink and refreshing for me. I had it for lunch with garlic dumplings.
