Rice: Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture Rice polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15 Sake degree +4.0 Acidity 1.7 Here's a little recap 🫡. This is Saruko-no-Spring given to me by a relative in Nagano. Saruko-no-Spring is a famous water in Iida City, and it is said that they found this water in search of the best water for tea 🚰. I haven't had a chance to drink the actual famous water, but I heard that this water is used as brewing water. The aroma of ginjo is gorgeous 🤤. The sake has a sake strength of 4, so it tastes light and dry. However, in the second half, the sweetness of the rice gradually spreads and then quickly disappears. As the day went on, the dry taste became milder and gentler. Thank you for the sake!

Good morning, Ofuji 🐥. I've never seen this brand before😳and it's the name of the water! If the water is good, the sake is definitely good too😊I guess there are still some sake in Shinshu that we don't know about🎶.

Pon-chan, good evening 🌙 I see! I'm only new to this! I think the taste changes depending on the mineral content of the water, not just the rice. ✨️ I'd like to drink the actual famous water too 🎶.

It was my son's birthday earlier this month, so we went to Nagano Prefecture for a visit during this holiday weekend! I think I have been to Nagano Prefecture a hundred times, but this was my first time in Nagano City. I found a great liquor store called "Shinshu Kuraudo" in the very magnificent Nagano station 💡. They have sake from all over Nagano 😘. They also have a corner shop, so if I hadn't come by car, I would have gone in there lol. A cute bear wearing an apple 🍎. The kids picked out a cup of sake with a cute illustration of Alkuma-chan 🍶. The taste was very refreshing! It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a crisp aftertaste. It's very easy to drink and has no habits, so if you're traveling by Shinkansen, this is definitely the one you want to drink on the train on the way home. I bought a few other bottles, so I'm looking forward to opening them 😊.

So sorry, so sorry... 🍶🍶🍶🍶 Nagano Business Trip Part ㊹ Tomorrow is the last night of my business trip to Nagano 🌃 as I have to pack up and head back to Ishikawa Prefecture 😀 44 check-ins 🎉 for Nagano's business trip sake. The last day in Suwa, I bought a cup of Alkuma which I don't remember when I bought it 😇. The aroma is mild and not very noticeable, but on the palate it has a gentle rice 🌾 flavor and sweetness😊 followed by a nice crisp acidity 😚👍This is a delicious sake 🥳. The label said "Don't drink too much!" but it was so good that it killed me instantly 🤣. The fourth picture is of lunch with my junior staff at the end of a business trip to Nagano 😊Tonkatsu Maruichi is famous in Suwa. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the meat is 3~4cm thick, but it was tender and full of juices 🥰.

On the second day, we moved to Nagano to a campsite with the best view of the starry sky in Japan. The sky was somewhat cloudy, and we wondered if we would be able to see the starlit sky... We stayed in a bungalow, so we only slept there. We went to Iida City. Iida City seems to be a town of yakiniku (grilled meat), and there are many yakiniku restaurants, but all the popular ones are full of reservations. After an hour of searching around for yakiniku refugees, we finally found one 😅. Kikusui Honjozo Nama-Stored Sake It has a sweet taste and is easy to drink. It has a mild sweetness and is a delicious Honjozo. The barbecue restaurant is diagonally in front of Kikusui Brewery. The third picture is not in the brewery, but it is the warehouse of Kikusui Sake Brewery. It looked more like a factory than a brewery.

To be served at the restaurant for a family dinner party. The sake is a completely local Kikusui lineup. A great local product with no other sakes. The sake is low in the mouthfeel and opens slowly. The aftertaste is not too strong and enhances the taste of the food. By the way, Saruko-no-Spring is a spring in Iida City that has been selected as one of the best 100 springs in Japan.

I started the evening with the intention of drinking the rest of the "Rairaku" that I opened last time, but I drank more than I imagined I would, so I opened a spare one-cup of sake as well. Junmai Ginjyo Saruuko-no-Izumi Alkuma Cup It has a full, sweet rice aroma, a sweet aftertaste that seems to be caught in the bottom of the mouth after it enters the body, and from there, the apple sensation that you can feel with a pleasant aftertaste that finishes cleanly. I bought this one on a business trip to Osaka the other day at the Hanshin Department Store on the way to my hotel, where the brewer came to the store and offered a tasting 😁. When I tasted it, it seemed a little dry due to lack of water from sweating, but when I drank it again, it had a sweet apple flavor that is typical of Shinshu sake! I couldn't get Shinshu salmon, so I had Fukui salmon as sashimi 😋. The fourth picture is a beer given to me by my mother-in-law as a gift from Australia 🍺. The aroma was quite strong with a hint of cemedine, but the taste and flavor was good enough to go down your throat 😋.

Hi, Gyve. You have a good stock of one-cup sake 😲. I'd like to try some of the Shinshu sake, which is also highly rated at Sakewa 🎵. Beer is also great especially in the summer 😊I love foreign beers too!

Hi, ma-ki-chan! I've been looking for a way to get some of the sake from Shinshu, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it in my area 😁. I really wanted to buy a bottle of shigou, but I'm planning to visit Shinshu in August, so I'd like to catch a lot of it then ✨.

Hello, Pon-chan ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀. Contrary to the cute appearance of Alkuma, the alcohol inside is a bit hardcore with "Saruko-no-Izumi" 😁. I always want to keep it because it's so cute, but the problem is that it puts a lot of pressure on storage 💦.

Hi Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀☀! Yes 💦 sometimes when you take it out of the cellar to drink it up, it's not even half full 😁. That's when one-cup or small bottles are great ✨.

Purchased at Hankyu Umeda Main Store 9th Traveling SAKE Kikusui Shuzo is the brewery that revived Takane Nishiki, and the cup of sake I purchased after being allowed to taste various kinds of sake was Miyamanishiki🤣Well, it is a sake rice created by mutating Takane Nishiki through radiation treatment, so I chose it because it was light and easy to drink. I chose it because it was light. It is good that it can be drunk in one go. 200ml is a bit much. It has a gorgeous aroma but a clean taste. The slight sweetness does not interfere with the meal 😁.

Good evening, Lutemi 🦉. It's lightweight and cute so I'm sure I'll pick it up 😊I'm also glad it's a bit much ❣️ and "Don't drink too much!" on the side. 🤣I think I'm going to be making a lot of comments while drinking it 😁.

The top aroma is that of junmai (pure rice). When you drink it, it has the umami of rice and a little dryness, and it is crisp and clean. The taste has a classical image with a slight alcohol aftertaste, but it is not bothersome. The aroma is pleasant and fruity. It is easy to drink and is better with food than on its own. It goes well with the chicken tatsuta bento (bento boxed lunch box) at other bento shops. Is it similar to Ichidrop Nidrop? It tastes better when it is well chilled. The alkuma was cute. Miyamanishiki Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol 15%.
