Purchased at the brewery
Dark! Rich and quite oily. Smoky🔥.
Like an Islay whiskey🥃.
But in the end, however, the sweetness and gorgeousness of the rice comes alive and is twice as delicious in one 🌟.
More of a dinner with snacks than a meal 🍶.
Raw oysters would be nice 😊.
Purchased at a sake brewery the day after the ban was lifted: ☺️
When I tasted it at the brewery, I thought it was too light 🤔, but when I actually drank it with snacks, it was just right. I heard that they changed the rice used for sake, but it was a typical Ito sake.
I think it is really luxurious to be able to drink seasonal sake💕.

The next stop on the "Suwa Gozo Sake Brewery Tour" was Yokobue.
We tasted five kinds of sake.
The first was a new sake. The sake was spread out at once and had a clear and crisp taste.
The most impressive was the plum wine. It was refreshing and not too sweet. It was my first choice for purchase 😃.
Junmai 🍶.
This is a souvenir from the Iida line trip 🚃.
I love the aroma of Suwa no Yokobue, but it is more refreshing than I expected and light on the palate. It has a strong acidity. A little bit of maturity afterwards. It's good with Genghis Khan, and it's also spicy and refreshing 😆.
Transfer from the Iida line to the Chuo line and change at Kamisuwa. Suwa Gokura Kamisuwa Highway Street Street Drinking Event is being held. I didn't have time to participate but the town was full of drinkers 😅I hope to participate next year.

It has an orthodox mouthfeel that makes it a standard sake. For a sake from Suwa, it has a gusto, perhaps because it is a junmai sake. However, the clean water is still present. Nagano sake is delicious after all.
If you are in the right physical condition and mood,
Aruzoe is a delicious and unstoppable alcoholic beverage.
It's a bit like drinking with an old man,
I was able to enjoy it with some pickled vegetables.
I wandered into a store I found in Iidabashi.
Ito Sake Brewery in Kami-Suwa sells Ito Shuzo sake.
It seems that an antenna store has recently opened here!
I had never heard of a sake called Yokobue.
Kaku-uchi (corner shop) and sukiyaki bowl restaurant
A couple runs the restaurant.
The sake is aleso, but it has an aroma!
As you drink it slowly, you can taste the sweetness and bitterness!
There were several other small bottles of 300ml, so let's revisit and try them again!
knowledge of the brewery
It is full of mellow and rich flavor, and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel a slight pungency due to the strength and sharpness of the alcohol. You can also feel the strong umami of sake, and it is a gem of harmony between each of them. It can also be enjoyed on the rocks as it is characterized by its strong alcohol content.

Light and dry. Kire (sharpness). Smell of alcohol. It is easy to drink.
For some reason, I felt cocoa at the moment I drank it. Is it because of the combination of food?
One of the five breweries along the national highway in front of Kamisuwa Station.

The line for the event was long and there were some issues with the waiting time. Looking forward to next time.
