It was a clear, slightly dry nigori sake.

Refreshing citrus flavor that fills the mouth.
It goes down smoothly and has a refreshing aftertaste.
This is the taste of Kinmon-nishiki!

Purchased at the brewery
The brother of the brewery gave me a little tour of the brewery ^ ^ ^.
Dark ❗️
It has a thick sweet taste and a bitter taste of alcohol. At the end, there is a faint shuwakku (a slight sourness)^ ^ ^ Somehow it has a sense of maturity even though it's a raw sake.
I want to roll it slowly on the bottom and savor it slowly 🌟.
On a business trip to Tokyo, I had a luxurious moment to compare Miyamanishiki and Kinmonnishiki ✨, which reminded me of Nagano, a place I haven't visited for a while.
It is said to be a blend of junmai daiginjo with junmai ginjo sake.
Overall mild umami and sweetness. The sweetness lingers quite a bit later in the flavor.
This is silver Hokushin style! Yamada Nishiki!
It has a great sense of balance as is typical of Yamada-Nishiki, but it is very tasty with a gorgeous and delicious taste (≧▽≦)
It is better to enjoy it by itself without any dishes. But it is also great with stir-fried chicken with green onion and maitake mushrooms, and bonito sashimi!
It was a small bottle of 300ml, so it was instant kill...( ≧Д≦)

Bright red Hokushinryu (≧▽≦) I bought it after a free tasting at a sake brewery, but it was an impulse buy, almost like buying a jacket (lol).
(First of all, I was surprised that it was a free tasting!)
When I first sipped it, I thought it was a fruity apple sake, but it's a great food sake with umami and complex bitterness! It's gone in a hurry! (I don't have the vocabulary to describe it...)
With fried eringi mushrooms and green peppers, bonito sashimi, and takikomi-gohan with mushrooms!

Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture ✖️prepared with wine yeast Sour green apple-like fruit flavor. The label says it is easy to pair with food, but it seems to be a good choice for pairing. Serve with white dressed persimmon, apple and celery salad, etc.
Personal Rating
★★★☆☆☆
Quite fruity, as it is brewed with wine yeast ✨.
As the description says, it is indeed a hybrid sake 🍶.
It's a nice change of pace!
