Purchased at the Sandozawa Sake Shop in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture.
It has a strong flavor, but is surprisingly light and refreshing. It also has a mineral taste. With a rice polishing ratio of 91%, I imagined it would be wilder and stronger, but it was surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink.
I was told that heating it up was also recommended, and when I tried it, the umami and sweetness came through more easily, and the minerality was reduced, giving it a deeper flavor.
This is quite good!

Last month, I went on an expedition from Nagoya to Osaka to YOMOYAMA NAGANO.
I received a variety of sake at that time, and I thought I would like to drink it at home.
I drank it heated at the venue and it tasted great. It is a very good sake.
Miyamanishiki, 91% polished rice, almost unpolished.
It is a locally oriented, gentle sake with lots of flavor.
😋😋😋😋
By the way, I stopped by the brewery on my way back from climbing Senjogatake in the Southern Alps last week and bought this sake. It has nothing to do with sake, but the weather was so nice and beautiful that I also included a photo of Japan's first and second most famous peaks as seen from Senjogadake. ⛰️
@The Benefactor
I was expecting a wild taste, but I was surprised at how well it came together!
I was expecting it to taste wild, and I was a bit apprehensive when I tried it, but it came together better than I expected.
It was mild, but as expected of a 91% rice, it was full of rice flavor, but I didn't detect any cloying or wild flavors, which was a bit disappointing.
Since it is 91%, I would like to see it have a little more character, but this is a very tasty sake.
The one you've never had,
What does it taste like?" I ask.
"This is spicy - more than +10... next time, let me know what you think!"
One bite...
Wonder! The spiciness spreads!
It might be my first time to feel it!
The flavor follows afterwards!
This is good!
The "mellow dry" on the website is true!
Nice aftertaste too!
My current favorite!
Purchased at Odakyu Department Store in Machida. The rice is polished to 91%...!
The concentrated flavor is amazing...! The flavor is like an elegant Japanese candy. This is my favorite. Let's try other brands.
Strong attack.
Fluffy, apple-like aroma,
Then, sweetness, followed by bitterness. Sourness comes later.
Slightly chemical.
The taste has structure and freshness.
The sweetness of the rice is enhanced and delicious when paired with a sour side dish.

The first bottle purchased for trial
Fresh acidity and lactic acidity, firm rice flavor, light amber color.
It goes well with hard cheeses like Parmigiano when cold, yakitori liver (sauce), miso flavored nabe, cucumber in tamari, and other solid tasting dishes.
Warm it up with a hot sake to remove the acidity and give it a refreshing taste.
This was my first low-milled sake and it was delicious with a robust flavor.
