Honkin Junmai Ginjo Bisei Nigori Nama Shu 720ml
Rice used: 100% Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol level 16%.
It has been waiting in the refrigerator for a while, but it is time to open the bottle.
Open the bottle, puff it up, and tighten it up!
It's very active 😆.
After repeating 10 times, the bottle was finally opened.
We had the active nigori. The dryness and the fruity taste are intertwined and it's so refreshing and delicious.
I should have bought another bottle.
But it gets drunk so fast when it's this hot😅.
Hello @Mizuhashi 😃
Honkin-san! I haven't had a drink since my Nagano trip 🥲 but I enjoyed "With the sky after the rain" for the first time in a long time 😋 during a weekend lunch outing.
I'd love to drink at home again!
Hongqin (China)
A refreshingly sour food sake.
The name was chosen to express both the meaning of brewing the true best sake (honkin) and the "no back-and-forth business" implied in the symmetrical characters.
Sake Nunoya Honkin Sake Brewery (Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture)
Honkin Yamahai Junmai
Alcohol percentage 14
Rice polishing ratio 59
This is one of my personal favorite sake breweries.
Taichi is dry and has a strong mouthfeel, while Honkin has no peculiarities and is very easy to drink.
It is also a sake that can be enjoyed by everyone.
It has a full and mellow mouthfeel.
One sip and you will say, "Oh, it's delicious! is the first word that comes to mind when you take a sip.
You can drink it without food. It is delicious.
One of the five breweries in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture
By word of mouth on Google Maps
It seemed to have a good reputation, so I went there and
and bought it.
100% Suwa Miyamanishiki
Citric acidity from the use of white malted rice
I heard it has a citric acidity... 🧐.
Yum! Delicious! It's like a summer sake 😆😆😆😆.
At first I thought it was a bit heavy,
But after that, it has a moderate sourness,
refreshing and refreshing 😊.
Just like the name!
The sky after the rain 😆😆😆😆😆.
There seems to be no special distributor in Aichi Prefecture.
Too bad 😭
Jay & Nobby.
My parents live in Nagano, so this was a side trip 😎.
Honkin-san is a small brewery.
It's a small brewery, but it's a family-run business and they are doing a great job.
It's a great brewery ✨
You must get it 😆😆😆😆😆.
Hi Mrs. Saccaro 🐦.
I also visited last year and I thought it was a nice brewery with a kind mother and a hardworking son 😊I would like to try this one at home 🎶.
Pon.
When I visited.
I had a great time with the energetic and friendly proprietress 😆😆😆.
I still have some "active nigori beauty blue" to look forward to 😋😋.
This is recommended. The sweet and sour aroma spreads and matured banana aroma is similar to melon and fresh yellow apple aroma. It has an elegant sweetness with a nice fresh and sharp acidity. The mouthfeel is hard to believe it is sake. It is also inexpensive and cosy.
On the bottom right of the label.
"Good times, good sake."
... Nice 💓
When I was planning my trip to Nagano, I learned that there are many sake breweries in Nagano.
This is one that I visited and welcomed in Suwa City. Maybe more Nagano sake posts for a while 🦆.
Now, Honkin summer sake🍶.
Very clear and easy to drink! With some acidity.
I could feel the deliciousness of the water in this bottle.
Last but not least, a reminder of our trip...
We arrived just before closing time, so we made a mad dash around the town lined with sake breweries.
We were in a huge rush, but the brewers showed us around and we were able to shop with satisfaction 🍶.
Good evening, Pineki 😃.
Nagano is a great destination for sake breweries and liquor shops 😍for sake drinkers 🤗.
We had a great time visiting there before 🚙.
I still remember the delicious Honkin I bought back then 🥹I must drink it again 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby - ☺️
You are absolutely right! I think I need to visit other sake breweries outside of Suwa City to enjoy Nagano sake more 😆.
You two got along well and drank well together 🥺🙌Smileful~！！！！
Summer Nigorinpik 91
In April, I had the light nigori of Mio, a junmai ginjo from the same company, and today I will have the active nigori version 😀.
The top aroma of the light nigori was a little more gorgeous than the light nigori 🤣.
Both are fruity and delicious, but the active nigori is naturally more fruity and has a more robust fruitiness with a hint of sourness.
Both are delicious, but I think I prefer the active nigori more 🤣.
I would like to compare the two next year if I have a chance 😇
Good morning, Yasbaye 🌞Motokin-san's active nigori fruity and looks delicious 🍶Motokin-san is one of the top Shinano sake drinkers, so I'm jealous 🤤I would love a review comparing drinks: ❣️
Good evening, Yasbay 😃.
I remember the first time I drank it a long time ago! I have a strong memory of how good it was when I drank it for the first time a long time ago ‼️ I think I have to drink a second bottle this year 🤗.
Memorandum
At first glance, the label Smooth does not seem like real gold!
Fruit-like aroma
Sweetness and acidity like fruit juice pops!
It is nice that fine gas is still there.
Miyamanishiki produced in Suwa, Shinshu
Polishing ratio 59
Manufactured in May 2025
Alcohol percentage -13.0
Sake meter degree -22.0
Acidity 3.1
☆☆☆☆☆
It smells like wine, and when I drank it, imagining it to be highly acidic, I found it to be "sweet" and easy to drink at a low alcohol content of 13 degrees.
I was scared to open the bottle, but it was perfectly fine and docile.
Aroma: sourness, sake lees, grapefruit?
When you drink it, it's not very lively, but there is a slight carbonation. It's deliciously schwashy.
The fresh sweetness and sourness are on the tongue, and as it rolls around, you can feel the light and rich flavor.
At the end, the bitterness comes in gradually.
A delicious, active nigori with a refreshing aftertaste that is perfect for drinking 🫧.
Even after a few days, when the fizz is gone, it is still crisp and cohesive. The supernatant alone is more acidic and has a clear, delicious aftertaste, but when mixed, it becomes silky and mellow.
I was happy to be able to drink it this year, although it seems that last year there was quite a small amount!
Good evening, Kotaro-san!
I've got a bottle of active nigori waiting in the fridge.
I haven't been able to open the bottle yet, but I think it's time to do so 😄.
@Mizuhashi, good evening 🌙
Oh✨I see that the drink you're drinking and the fridge standby have been covered 🤭.
It's getting hotter these days, so it might be tasty to open it now while the schwarziness hasn't disappeared 😆.
Hello, Kotaro 😃
Honkin-san! I remember my first drink was ridiculously delicious 😌 but I can't seem to find a second bottle 🥲.
I found out that there is a liquor store in Utsunomiya station building, so I hope to get it soon!
Hi Jay & Nobby, ☀️
It's a deliciously acidic, refreshing and ridiculously delicious 😆.
I hope you'll take this opportunity to find it in your area 😚 If you still have Junmai Ginjo Suwa unfiltered raw, it's delicious too, so please consider it if you like👍.
