Yokobue, I liked it so much when I tasted it on the brewery tour that I bought it for home.
It was a perfect accompaniment to a family barbecue party.
I was told to be careful not to blow out the bottle, but it opened without making any noise... maybe because it was shaken too much when I brought it home?
Slightly gassy.
The aroma is like sweet yogurt, and you would expect it to be sweet, but it's dry!
It has a refreshing summery sensation and went well with grilled meat.
I also enjoyed the gurgling of the oli, which I couldn't taste in the tasting.
I loved this sake so much that I think my visit to the brewery was worth it just to encounter this sake.
Good morning, kuruma fu🐥.
This sake is delicious, isn't it? We bought it too It would be even better if we drank it with barbecued meat 😻 Didn't it go by so fast in Sandesi? 😆 😆
Suwa Gokura Tour (2)
Yokobue" Ito Shuzo
Receive a drinking tray, a plastic cup, and a coin after having your stamp coupon stamped.
Put the coins into the sake server and taste the sake.
Here, there are 5 types from 6 (one is a liqueur), and the active nigori is poured directly at the reception desk, not from the server.
Junmai Ginjo Yokobue Shirakaba Nishiki.
It has a firm umami, a slight acidity, a slight nuttiness, and a bit of a classical feel.
Ginjo-shu Kodo
It has a mild umami, richness, and a bit classical. It is the same as the one we drank at the Gifu Sake Event.
Junmai Ginjo Yokobue Yamae Nishiki
Smooth, with mild acidity, full-bodied, and a touch of bitterness. A little different from the impression I had before.
Junmai Ginjo Namaishu Natsuhonokou
The main taste is sourness, but it is also a bit complex, and it is not a refreshing summer sake.
Junmai Nigori Sake] [Junmai Nigori Sake] [Junmai Nigori Nigori Sake
The mouthfeel is not milky, and it flows smoothly in the mouth, but later you can feel the rice-like lumps. The taste is quite bitter and bitterly spicy.
Kami-suwa Gokura Tour (4) Yokobue
You can drink 5 out of 6 kinds (including 1 liqueur)
1) Junmai Ginjyo Nama Shu Natsuhonokou
This is a summer sake. It has a strong sweet aroma of rice malt...but it is a dry sake. The bitterness and acidity in the aftertaste reinforce the dry impression. A refreshing sake suitable for summer.
Junmai Ginjo Yokobue Yamae Nishiki
Gorgeous sweet aroma of Yamae-Nishiki. It is quite mildly sweet. It has a graininess and a tangy taste. I would like to drink it at room temperature.
Kodo (➂) Ginjo-shu
It has a gorgeous aroma and a little bit of a soaked-alcoholic taste. It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink. It has a fruity flavor and a hot taste.
4) Junmai Ginjo Yokobue Shirakaba Nishiki
It has a sweet aroma like clay and rice malt. It has a watery mouthfeel. The sweetness is moderate and the rice flavor lingers in the mouth for a long time. It is a perfect food sake.
(5) Junmai Activated Nigori Sake
The aroma is like yogurt. The creamy sweetness spreads while popping in the mouth. However, it is rather subdued and very easy to drink.
This is the third of five Suwa breweries. Today is the day of the Suwa Lake Fireworks Festival. This sake is labeled for the fireworks display. We drank it while watching the fireworks on TV. It tasted sweet and sour and was delicious. 946 yen.

Ginjo-shu Furumichi
A classic sake with a rich umami flavor.
When I asked "Is there any place in Kansai that sells it?" I asked, "Is there any place in Kansai that sells it?
Hello Nemuchi ☀☀☀.
I guess you must be a passive style sake brewery 🤔
Maybe there is a possibility if you get in contact with a liquor store 😅I think there are many breweries that want to expand nationwide but don't know how to do it 🤔.
Hello bouken-san, many people visit Suwa Gokura, but I haven't seen it in liquor stores or department stores 😅I heard some liquor stores had a good response, so let's hope they will start selling it in the Kansai area as well👍.

My husband decided to buy something to drink at the inn after tasting the sake!

I was able to open it without any difficulty😊.

Jungin Nama Sake Natsuhonokou
Jungin Yokobue Shirakaba Nishiki
Junmai-shu Umeshu (plum wine made from Junmai-shu) It was easy to drink and was my favorite. ❣️
After the customers had left, the proprietress? She talked to us about many things.
She is a very fun and friendly person 😊🙏🙏.
Pon.
Good evening...
Sake at a traveler's inn is a different kind of fun and delicious 😁.
I've only ever had Yokobue, but it's a brand I'd like to try.
Hi, Kojo 🐦.
Yes, extraordinary tastes good no matter what you drink 😆.
I see you've tried Yokobue! The brewery also recommends plum wine, not too sweet and refreshingly delicious ❣️
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
It's nice to drink while remembering the day 😊and saying the best drink of the day 😆and the sandesi is just right â
Are you going anywhere this year? Looking forward to your sake trip report🎶.
Purchased at the brewery.
Yokobue - nigori sake, fermented in a bottle.
It is a cloudy white sake made by mixing roughly strained sake with ori (ori).
Before mixing the ori, the sweetness of the sake was a little too much, but once the ori was mixed in, the sake had a soft taste.
But after mixing in the ori, it has a soft texture, and I felt like a melon before it ripens.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio 55
100% Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
Good evening, Lutemi 🦉.
I have been there! This one is not in the tasting 😳I wonder if some of them are different at different times of the year, I enjoy the different drinks 😊🎶.
Ponchan Good evening 😄I see you went 🍶😁It was interesting to see that some of the tastings I was expecting were not available and some were summer only. I am looking forward to your review 😊.

This is the Miyajima Special from the hanpukai.
When you open the bottle and pour it, you will see bubbles 🫧.
Gorgeous and nice aroma. When you drink it, it is clear and strong.
But as you drink it, it gets stronger and stronger and ends up with a bitter taste.
I had it last year, so I looked at what people wrote about it and found that the first and last flavors were completely different 😅.
I take the Nambu line, one of the busiest lines in the metropolitan area. This heat fills the train with a rotten smell 😂Last week, a platform door was finally built at Kawasaki station. I appreciate the platform doors, but I feel like I'm not getting the same experience as before. The platform is narrower and more difficult to walk on, and I was worried that this might cause an accident 😔.
Ane-san, good evening 🌃😀😀
I am currently posted to Ueda and visited Miyajima Sake Shop today 😚✨I took my hat off to the owner for his low profile😇I will be posted to Suwa again in the fall, so I will drink some Yokobue from here 🥳.
Good morning, Maecin-san!
Ueda? I read in the newsletter from Miyajima-san that it takes 3 hours to walk from Ueda station, and I was wondering if there are people who walk there 😆I haven't decided my Nagano business trip for this month yet😅.
Nice to meet you Yokobue.
Not much aroma but slight lemony acidity.
The mouthfeel is a little light but well balanced, with a light sweetness and a full-bodied mid-palate that finishes nicely together, which is typical of Shinshu 👍.
The alcohol content is quite high, so be careful not to drink it at a high pitch!
Mr. Rigel
Hello 🌀
I have never heard of Yokobue, Ito Shuzo.
Is it a brand that has been around for a long time?
I am very interested in the Shinshu-ness of it.
Suwa Nine Storehouses Tour: 7th Storehouse
The name of this brewery comes from the heroine of the tragic love story of a courtesan named "Yokobue.
I forgot to take a picture of the sake we tasted 😂.
One of my favorite sakes was Yokobue, Shirakaba Nishiki.
It had a gorgeous apple-like aroma and a sourness in harmony with a good sweetness that I don't often experience.
The plum wine was made with sake and was so delicious that I bought it as a souvenir for my daughter.
The brewery in front of Yokobue is Sake Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery, but it was closed from noon. I heard it was for training, but I was shocked.
Good evening, Lutertemi 😃.
I had a Yokojikobue 🪈 at last year's Shinshu liquor store tour 🤗 and the one we drank had a unique aftertaste 😚 but Honkin-san closed 😫 that was a shock 😱.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄.
I'm glad you understand the unique aftertaste.
I'm glad you understand the unique aftertaste. I was so shocked to see that HONKIN was closed before the Yokobue that I forgot to even take a picture at the Yokobue 😂.
