KATSURAGAWA, which had been laid up for about a year and a half. It's too early to tell, but I'm looking forward to a summer sake on the rocks, and this time I'll have a glass of the standard warmed sake 🍶. When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was freshly cooked and fluffy, like rice cakes or rice. It is a four-step glutinous rice brewing process. The mouthfeel is smooth like Gunma sake, but gradually a gentle and deep sweetness like sugar or spuds spreads gradually. When heated, it has a full-bodied, rice-like flavor. The sweetness is not too strong, but rather relaxing. Perfect for enjoying in the colder months. The sweetness itself is more subdued than the normal type, but on the other hand, you can fully enjoy the cleanliness that is typical of Gunma sake, which is a good balance!

As the summer is drawing to a close (the heat is still on), I opened a bottle of "Katsuragawa" sake on the rocks, which I was looking forward to drinking again this year! And the back of the bottle is falling apart due to condensation again😇. When we opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was sweet and fluffy, typical of "Katsuragawa". It is a bit sour and comes in through the nose as if it is cold on the rocks. The mouthfeel has a pettiness by default, but on the rocks it is smooth and silky. It has a fluffy aroma like sweet rice crackers and a syrupy sweetness of shaved ice. As the ice melts, it becomes lighter and more enjoyable ✨. The lingering finish has a slightly tangy, spicy acidity and a tropical fruitiness, and the smart finish keeps the saké going! While listening to the chirping of autumn insects 🍶. I think it's time to open a bottle of "Akagisan" summer sake!

National Sake Fair 2025 Day 2 part70 Gunma (1) Yanagisawa Sake Brewery in Maebashi City I've had a collaboration sake with Machida Sake Brewery before. I think the only sake from this brewery that can be bought in Kansai is from Masuda Shoten in Sennichimae. Polishing ratio 60%, common rice/mochi rice 15.5 degrees, Sake degree -1.0, Acidity 1.4 No.10 yeast, 1210 yen It is said to be watered and fired once. It is sweet, rich, and heavy. I thought it would be a classic hard-to-drink sake, but I like it a lot.

Maikaze, I did not know. Yuto, only your name. Ryuki, good 😋 juicy I will refer to it. I'm envious that you are with the master brewer!

Maikaze is a new sake rice from Gunma. How about coming next year?
Japanese>English
KomeChidori
Maikaze, it's not a brand name, it's sake rice. It is a good learning experience. I would like to drink an all-Gunma sake with Maikaze sake rice and Gunma KAZE yeast. I would like to drink all-Gunma sake someday.

This is the second time this spring I purchased arabashiri nama-zake ICHIMATSU. The last time, the condition of the second day was not so good due to a malfunction of the stopper, so I purchased it again. Like last time, it had a refreshing sweetness, slight acidity, and a pleasant gaseous taste. It was still a delicious sake. The second day was also very good.

Sake from the very local Yanagisawa Sake Brewery. KATSURAGAWA ICHIMATSU" ARABASHIRI, direct pumping, raw sake. Purchased at Takahashi Yoh Shoten for ¥1,870-. The aroma is fresh and unobtrusive, with a slight effervescence that can be detected when pouring. The sweetness, acidity, and a slight gassiness make for a refreshing taste. On the second day, the cork was not properly set and the gaseous sensation was dramatically reduced (due to a problem with the accuracy of the cork). Anyway, it was a very tasty sake. I would like to buy it again with regret.

This bottle of 2022BY was given to me by my sister and her husband. As soon as I poured it into a sake cup with five ladles, it had a magnificent brownish color (◎-◎;). I couldn't find any details about the product when I googled it, except that it is made from glutinous rice, so I'll spare you the specs. I don't know if it is this color because it is made from rice cake? It has a light aroma of aging, so it must have been aged at least a while. But I think this is enjoyable in its own way... So it's a good aged bottle. I think it's a good bottle, and it's delicious. _.) _(... _...)

It's been a very long time since I've had a bottle of K Katsuragawa from the very local Yanagisawa Brewery. I happened to drop by Fressey (a local supermarket) and found a limited edition label. The "su" design in the Jomo karuta card game, familiar to Gunma residents, depicts Mount Akagi, our mountain. Akagi, our mountain, is depicted on the label. It is an easy-drinking sake with a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Fressey also had a limited edition of 36 bottles with a different label, but since they were the same sake, we decided to go with this one, which was cheaper. The second day was also delicious.

Purchased on the recommendation of my boss at work. It is a collaboration between two sake breweries in Maebashi, and this is the sixth and last time I have had it. I was surprised by the strong smell before putting it in my mouth, but was even more surprised by the refreshing aroma and refreshing aftertaste! It was slightly fizzy. It was a sake that went well with meals👍. Purchased in Maebashi city. 1650 yen including tax
