Shinanonishiki hiyaoroshi.
I drank it for the first time, but it is said to be very dry with a sake degree of +10.
I have an image that there are not many hiyaoroshi with a very dry taste.
I wonder if there are actually quite a few.
Even though it was dry, it had the umami of rice and a full flavor.
It has a nice sharpness, so it is easy to match with a meal.
Strong! This sake gives the impression of being "strong". The alcohol may be a little tart when freshly poured? A savory aroma? It has a strong bitterness, astringency, and umami taste, which is probably to the liking of connoisseurs.
It is unique when paired with mildly salty snacks! It is a snack that I usually don't order, but I thought it was a connection with this sake.
The mouthfeel is full-bodied.
It has a plump, full-bodied flavor and acidity, with a hint of bitterness and astringency.
The sweetness is slightly subdued and soft.
The spiciness comes from the 19% alcohol content.
I found out later that it is recommended to be paired with meat dishes.
Well, it is indeed a red wine.
I would like to try it with red meat that is full of juices.
Degree of preference ☆3/5
Shinano Nishiki!
How smooth. I didn't realize this was sake made from brown rice.
Amazing, the richness. The prune-like flavor comes out as it warms up.
Hot sake? No, no, no, just as it is!
I'll try it just in case.
The aroma is sweet and the drinking experience is sweet and delicious!
I think even people who don't like sake can enjoy drinking it.
For sake drinkers, it is a sake, but it is sweet and delicious like a sweet!
4 stars
As the label says, it is very dry!
The aroma is full and powerful, just like sake!
It has a sweetness, but it is very refreshing with an apple-like sourness in the middle of the taste.
It has a strong umami flavor, so it would be better with meat dishes with a strong flavor than sashimi.

It is unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, and has been in the warehouse for 10 months.
I bought this sake because I heard a voice saying, "Buy it," or perhaps because I was scared of something scary.
It's a lie, but that's how I felt.
I opened the bottle.
As I thought...? It has a yellowish color.
Very little vinegar.
The taste also has a slightly acidic impression.
It's good, it's good, it's good.

Shinanonishiki started the Chogen series with SDGs in mind
M91 is Miyamanishiki 91% polished rice
Minimal loss
Minimal label area
Aroma is slightly banana-like
Aroma of grain
A touch of citric acid.
Low alcohol content, but with a strong flavor.
Good bitterness and sharp aftertaste.
Can also be served warmed.
I guess the trend is toward low alcohol content.
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. ⛰️
