Miyamanishiki from Akita, Association 14 yeast.
Oil clay, sweet smell.
Aromatic mouthfeel, with a honey-like sweetness. As it is swallowed, a pungent spiciness with a strong impact appears, and the spiciness extends rapidly. The first half is refreshing, but the second half is powerful and drinkable.
It is said to be a food sake, so when you eat it with food, it changes refreshingly, and when you feel the umami, it disappears softly, leaving both the food and the sake in a delicious state. It is delicious!
Noge with family (1)
The other day, I told my wife that I went to an interesting restaurant in Noge (with a high school classmate), and she wanted to go there, too.
We went to a sushi bar, where we ate and drank a lot of food and sake.
Today's sake was Matsumidori, from Kanagawa Prefecture.
I've had "Ryo" from this brewery, but this was my first time to try "Matsumidori"!
It was fresher than I expected when I drank it!
Delicious 😋.
A little fruity.
Surprising (in a good way) given the image of fire-roasted!
This is a limited edition, and they have a Ryo mark on the label where the letter "Ri" is!
I'm sorry I haven't had it until now even though I'm from Kanagawa 🙇.
Good evening, Takashi😄!
I see that you are out drinking with your family today! It's great that everyone in the family likes Sake 👍I wonder if they have the same tastes? I haven't had much of it in Kanagawa 😅Matsumidori looks fresh and delicious ❣️
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
Unfortunately, I'm the only one who drinks sake today 😢 (although my second son and daughter, who are not here, do).
I drank pine midori for the first time and it was delicious 😋 There is more to come!
Good evening, Takashi 🌛.
I missed to comment on the last Noge drinking, but for me who grew up watching "Abunai Keisatsu", Noge is one of the places I would like to visit someday ✨.
I'm so glad you and your family can go drinking together 😲.
Hi Jive, good evening😄.
I think Noge now seems to be a more casual and fun place even for young kids 🥳 (it used to be a bit scarier 🤣).
It's fun to eat, drink and walk around!
Many people want to go, so I'll be back next week😘.
Matsu Midori no Shiboritate Nama-nama-shu.
Alcoholic aroma. Slightly fruity? In the mouth, a refreshing aroma of rice spreads. The mouthfeel is light, but the rough astringency typical of Shiboritate Nama-no-Hara Sake is impressive. The astringent taste is accompanied by a firm umami flavor and a hint of sweetness, making it very tasty.
This is the first sake from Kanagawa in six months.
This will be the first time for me to visit the brewery as well.
I chose this sake because I was planning to have sashimi today.
From the opening of the screw. Since it is freshly squeezed, it has more aroma than I expected. It smells like sake from a long time ago. I have a bad feeling.
The first thing you notice is the freshness of the new sake. Then comes the spiciness and sweetness at the same time. Finally, there is bitterness. The bitterness lingers for quite a long time. It might be better to warm up the sake. The impression is that it is an ordinary sake with no sharpness.
Then, I paired it with sashimi. In my mind, Sagami Bay is famous for shirasu (baby sardines) and horse mackerel. This time, I paired it with horse mackerel.
I was surprised. The firm horse mackerel and this sake are very good together. Tuna is also quite good. The strong bitterness is neutralized by the fish, giving it a sharpness.
Also, the sweetness of the shellfish is enhanced when paired with hontsubu mussels.
It is a sake that seems to go well with fish dishes. Boiled fish is also good.
I think it lacks the volume to match with meat dishes. It is the first sake I have enjoyed in a long time.

Local Sake from Kanagawa
Impression of dry taste with a strong sense of rice
Octopus sashimi, fried kashira
I had it with katayaki soba (buckwheat noodle)!
It goes well with both light octopus and rich yakisoba.
If you only taste the sake, it may be too spicy.
Thank you very much!
It cost about 1,500 yen including tax at a local supermarket.
Nakazawa Sake Brewery is located in Matsuda-cho at the foot of Mt. The name "s.tokyo" is derived from the yeast Saccharomyces tokyo NAKAZAWA, which is used in the brewery. It is like the No. 6 and No. 6 yeast used in Shinmasa. This yeast was discovered more than 100 years ago at Tokyo University of Agriculture, and because of its characteristics, it can only raise the alcohol content to 14, so it is brewed without water.
Today is Setsubun. Is it a popular drink in the area? It is served facing west-southwest.
It tastes sweet and sour with a grapefruit flavor, probably because the yeast does not eat much sugar. It is best served well chilled as an aperitif.
