This sake is a collaboration between Machida Shuzo and Yanagisawa Shuzo of Yuijin and Katsuragawa. It has an interesting aroma and is a bit habitual, but delicious. It tastes sweet.
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

Sake I ordered
Katsuragawa, Yuto's Yanagisawa Sake Brewery and Machida Sake Brewery, Sei嘹
M2 seems to mean two breweries in Maebashi
This is the last time this project will be held...
It is bitter and spicy with strong acidity. Flat and more normal than I expected.
The endangered sake MAX is one of my favorite summer beverages every year!
Now that we can finally hear the cicadas singing, we will open the bottle!
When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is fluffy and sweet with a custard-like flavor.
The mouthfeel is syrupy and immediately afterwards it has a rich, mellow, sweet flavor. It has a tropical fruitiness like mango, but at 19% ABV, it has a powerful punch and a tangy, spicy sharpness, and disappears quickly and easily.
The astringent taste that comes in a flash in the midst of the sweetness is a good accent. It is a candy and a whip with a rich flavor and a light, refreshing taste. It is a delicious taste that will immerse you in a sense of satisfaction ✨.
On the rocks, it is a presence that makes you careful not to drink too much.
You can't miss "Katsuragawa" in summer!

Lots of sake I'd never seen before (^-^)
I told the kind waitress what I liked and asked her to introduce me to the sake, and I wanted to drink them all!
I decided to drink only two bottles here and chose this rare one👍.
This sake is a collaboration between two top breweries in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, Yanagisawa Shuzo and Machida Shuzo, who share the brewing process. The "M" stands for the first letter of "Maebashi" and the first letters of "Yuto" and "Machida Shuzo," which are brewed by the two breweries respectively.
Apparently, this is the last time this project will be held...
It tastes like aged sake.
Next is "K Katsuragawa" which I often drink as a summer sake or something!
This is the first time I've had a regular jungin type 👍.
The aroma is soft and almost like a western pastry.
The mouthfeel is moist and immediately afterwards the rice flavor is clear and delicious. Perhaps it is because it is a jungin type, but the full flavor of the rice can be felt more clearly than anything I have ever had before.
It is truly mellow. When tasting it, the flavor is somehow reminiscent of yaki-sale or gyoza dumpling skin!
I came to Gunma Prefecture to watch soccer. This trip did not have much drinking component, but I found a sake vending machine in the Shinkansen station building on my way home💡.

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!
Purchased on a business trip to Ryomo area
I couldn't forget the shock when I drank it a long time ago, so I bought it again!
The sweetness that hits you hard is the best!
As the label says, "full flavor" is the perfect word for this sake! By the end, I was able to taste the moderate sweetness that is unique to sake. It is easy to drink, but the dishes to pair it with are a matter of consideration. It would be better with light white sashimi than oily tuna. It also seems to be good with simmered turnips and cabbage, and nabe (one-pot dish), as it moderately drowns out the bitterness of vegetables.
