The first brewery.

Junmai Nama Hashiroshi 80%. It was hard to get rid of the schwash. Light Nigori (nigori) Nama Sake. The customer next to me said it was like playing dodgeball.
We visited standing drinking chuin before the typhoon hit.
The second sake was Kurosawa Namahoshi Shinshu Wine Barrel Aged.
It is a pure rice sake brewed by Kurosawa Shuzo using Kinmon-Nishiki and aged in a local wine barrel for two summers.
A relative of Kurosawa Shuzo's brewer is in the wine brewing business and provided the wine barrels to make this sake possible.
The appearance is a pale rosé color with strong transparency.
It is hard to tell from the photo, but at a glance it does not look like sake.
The aroma is also close to that of rosé wine, with a slight grain and cream cheese taste.
The taste has a dry first touch.
The taste of light dryness with umami flavor spreads in the mouth, then acidity passes to the nose, and the tannin astringency converges and finishes.
The alcohol level is firm but not sharp due to aging.
The taste is sake at the entrance and wine at the exit.
The overall balance is dry and quite intoxicating. ☺️
This sake is not just an oddity, but a well-considered sake that broadens the range of sake.
While talking with the owner, Mr. Kawada, about how he brewed the original sake with this finish in mind and how he thought about the sake quality design when doing so, we moved on to the next sake.
Clean aroma 🎵
80%, so it has a concentrated flavor and acidity 😣.
Soft and refreshing aftertaste 😉.
The label reminds me of the world's master brewer, Kurosawa 🎦.
Nagano Souvenir (2)
This is the second time for me to try Namahashiroshi.
I had an image that it had a habit,
But it is lighter than I expected.
The aroma is a bit strong at the end, but it is not unpleasant.
Next time I will try lukewarm sake.
Another fall sake.
The acidity is crisp and firm.
Full-bodied rice flavor with a sense of body. Thick.
The aroma is slightly sepia like coffee.
It is sharp with bitterness and acidity.
Powerful and delicious.
The degree of liking ☆3.5/5

This three-day weekend, I went to Utsukushigahara Onsen in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture - ✌️
It was our first trip to a hot spring in a long time, and my son, who loves spacious baths, was very happy 🥰.
Since we were in Nagano, we decided to try some local sake that we had never had before, so we randomly found a liquor store and the owner gave us his recommendation 🥰.
We opened it at the inn that day and it was delicious, dry and refreshing with a strong acidity 🍶♥️
Good morning, Jun 😃.
Nice trip to Shinshu Onsen ♨️ 🤗
Kurosawa-san! I saw the brewery on TV a while ago😊I'm sure the liquor store will recommend it👍I'd love to try the dry and refreshing Shinshu sake 🍶😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby: ☺️
It was a very nice trip to a hot spring after a long time 🥰.
I have a feeling that Nagano, like Tochigi, still has a lot of good sake to offer, 🤤♥️
