Sake Izakaya 🍶 with a couple
The second glass was Kanae, which was also a first for us!
It is clear and easy to drink. Goes well with fish! Delicious 🤤.
Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Bottle Fired
Miracle smooth.
It was supposed to be a little bit.
but it went in rapidly.
It goes well with sweetfish.
Sake is good with sweet snacks,
I guess that means I've reached that age
I guess that's what it means.

Limited Junmai Daiginjo
What a fukuyoka cup!
Gentle sweetness, acidity, and a fragrance that spreads in a whirlwind. And the lingering aftertaste after drinking.
Everything is wonderful.
I love it 120 points.
Light, fresh and fruity ginjo aroma. It has a crisp, fresh sweetness with a hint of acidity. The rice is full-bodied, and the spiciness is balanced with a bitter sweetness. The second day, the sourness decreases and the richness comes out.
Yesterday, the first day of a three-day weekend, I spent a relaxing day off.
On a day like this, when I had nothing planned, I thought it would be nice to relax and drink at home from noon 🍶.
So I decided to open a bottle for lunchtime drinking on Saturday.
This is the first time to visit this brewery.
It is a Junmai Ginjo from Shinshu Meizou.
I have often seen this sake at Sake-no-Wa and wanted to try it.
So, let's start with the sake.
First, the aroma. It has a rich aroma of rice.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the full-bodied aroma of cooked rice. This may be the first time for me to taste this kind of aroma.
The taste has a soft sweetness and a firm umami that reminds one of rice.
It also has a nice smooth taste.
I don't feel much bitterness or pungency. If I had to say, I would say that there is a slight pungency in the aftertaste. I think it is about the same.
I felt that it was a new taste that I have never had before, with a strong drinking experience and a strong sense of rice flavor.
Overall, I thought it was a delicious sake with little stimulation, and one could immerse oneself in the umami of the rice.
It was really a great sake time and made me want to drink more and more Nagano sake.
Hello ma-ki-chan😃It's nice to have a lunchtime drink on the first day of a consecutive holiday 🍶😆And your first time at Shinshu Meinou, it looks very delicious! As the weather gets colder, sake with the taste of rice becomes even more delicious 👌I love Nagano's sake too ❣️
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
It certainly sounds delicious to warm up the rice flavorful sake a bit as the weather gets colder: ⤴️
I look forward to reading your Nagano sake posts 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
Kanae-chan! We got it on our trip to Nagano last year 🤗I think it was quite a spectacular one 😚.
You may think it's surprising 😅we've never had a lunchtime drink at our house 🥲 and I'd like to try it!
Jay & Nobby, thank you for your comments.
You two have each other's families, and I wonder if you don't get a chance to have a lunchtime drink every now and then 🍶.
If you ever get a chance to do so again, please do! It is an extraordinary experience 😊.
Hi ma-ki-chan 🐦.
It's a nice drinking time ✨I'm more than happy to have lunch so I can relax later 🎶and Kanae-chan! I'm jealous of your sake as I don't see it 😻
Thanks for your comment, Pon.
Sometimes daytime drinking is the best 🎵.
It was a good feeling to be able to linger for a day and enjoy some sake ✨.
I'm also grateful to have met Kanae-san through Sake-no-wa 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-San 😊Ding-san, I also bought this sake when I went to Nagano in the summer and I can't get enough of the tanginess 😍It was really excellent sake 🍶It's hard to find it 😭.
Thanks for your comment, Wakata.
I know you enjoyed drinking so much during your great adventure ⤴️
Thanks to you, I got to know and fully enjoy the delicious sake ✨.
I would also like to try another label sometime 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
You finally opened a bottle of Shinshu sake 😁.
And "Ding" 😋 I regret that I didn't buy it 😅 after I gave up buying it in tears and drank it on a different occasion.
Thank you for your comment, Jive.
I will gradually get some sake from Shinshu 😁✨✨.
There are so many sakes I want to drink, I have to make a choice every time lol.
If you have a chance, please take your time and enjoy Ding's home drinking 😊.
Almost a casual drink with the owner, Mr. Kawada, at standing drinking chuin 🍶.
The third sake was Kanae.
According to one theory, this sake is said to be the "overthrow of Jyuyo.
The aroma is much milder than expected.
Although the ginjo aroma can be detected, the graininess is also rather strong and a bit complex.
This area may change after the bottle is opened.
The taste is more like a special junmai sake than a junmai daiginjo, with a very strong taste of rice rather than sweetness and acidity.
It has a good sharpness and a long aftertaste, but it still has a strong rice flavor.
Since I had intended to drink a fruity sake, I was a bit surprised at how different it was from my previous image.
When I told Mr. Kawada about it, he said, "It certainly feels a little different from before," and "It is very strong.
I was relieved to hear that my senses were not off-kilter, and moved on to the next drink.
