This is a seasonal version of Daisetsukkei.
It feels a little dry like Taisetsukei, but it is refreshing and easy to drink!
Taisetsukei is available everywhere in Nagano, and I have heard that it is hard to find in Tokyo.
However, recently I have seen Taisukei at some stores in Tokyo, although there are not many varieties.
It is an easy-drinking and cost-effective sake, so we hope they will do their best in marketing it.
Azumino's Daisetsukei "Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Genzake".
From the first sip, I was like, "Oh, this is a bad one.
It was slightly effervescent and fruity, like fresh fruit.
It has the richness of a nama sake, but the aftertaste is light and crisp.
As the wine glass recommendation suggests, the aroma was so refreshing that it was more than just sake, but rather a fresh, fruity sake.
It is no longer sake, but rather a refreshing white wine.
The brewer's recommendation is true.
This is a bottle that I am sure to repeat.

I am here in Azumino.
This year, too, I finished harvesting as an "apple tree owner,
After the harvest, we went to a hot spring to enjoy the afterglow of apple picking.
After returning to the room, I had my first drink,
Taisetsukei Nigori.
Beyond the window, Mt. Otaki was dyed in the evening twilight.
Otaki, quietly standing on the ridge line,
The moment you take a sip, you can't help but feel that the drink is quickly seeping into your body.
I wonder why a cup of sake on a trip is so deeply satisfying.
Good night, myself.
Nice to meet you, Daisetsuken. This is one of the brands that are always available everywhere I go in Nagano. The image I had heard is that it is light and dry. Well, what do you think?
Let's start with the aroma: ‼️
Well, I can't tell with my usual stupid nose, but it has a faintly sweet fruity aroma. What do you think?
Well, take a sip: ‼️
Oh, this is unexpectedly sweet and juicy! This one is unexpectedly sweet and juicy‼️ It has some bubbles, and the mouthfeel is typical of nama-zake, so I guess it's not so light and dry. But it has a nice sharpness, so I think it's good with sashimi and such. It is totally different from the cup sake I had before and I think it is honestly delicious. ‼️
It is said to be a raw sake version of Junmai Ginjo D, which won a trophy at the IWC 2025.
Nagano omachi is rare.
He said this one, like Fuyuki, can only be ordered if you go to the prestigious sake tasting in Tokyo.
The aroma is mild. It is juicy and sweet, but not too sweet.
The second half has a bitterness that made me think it was Miyamanishiki😅.
The higher the temperature, the sweeter and more delicious it becomes.
I've had a lot of Taisetsukei's raw sake with a strong gassy taste, but this one didn't have any gassy feeling, so it felt fresh to me.
