Purchased with Unzan at the Shinetsu-Hokuriku product exhibition at Tobu Ikebukuro Department Store.
More cloudy. It has a strong body. It is a crisp nigori sake with little sweetness.
It is a nigori sake that goes well with meals. We enjoyed it with fried mackerel with sweet vinegar sauce and beef tongue salad.
I think the level of Nagano Prefecture's sake is quite high.
I would like to visit Kami-suwa sake brewery again.
This morning, the action started at 7am!
Kaorin lined up at Okazaki Sake Brewery to get 🐢san's brewery limited edition sake that starts at 9am, and I went separately to pick up the sake shop limited edition 🐢san that I won in a drawing at Miyajima Sake Shop 😀.
After completing our mission in Ueda, we moved to Nagano to pay a visit to Zenkoji Temple 😀 Last year, I made a pilgrimage to 33 temples in the western part of Japan.
Last year, Kaorin and I made a pilgrimage to 33 temples in the western part of Japan, so we paid our respects at Zenkoji Temple 😇.
From there, we went to the last brewery for this tour 😀.
The 30th brewery on our walking tour of temples, shrines, and sake breweries.
I had the impression that Nishinomon had a delicious ogara-mi in January, but when I asked the store owner about it, he told me that that sake is only for special distributors and is not sold at the brewery's directly-managed stores 🤣.
I tasted all the sake on the line and was particularly impressed with this one, but gave it up when I saw the price 😅.
It's delicious😇
I decided to go for the nigori sparkling to take home 😀.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😄Mission successfully completed 🙌Thanks for your hard work 👏🐢I'm jealous of your GET 🤩This Nagano Sake brewery tour was a lot of fun! Last but not least, the Nishinomon😍I can't go wrong with a sparkling nigori 😆.
Hi Yasubeyesan 😃.
You were active early in the morning 🤗It's great that you went to Zenkoji from Ueda with the sake you bought 👍We also went to Nishinomon near Zenkoji, but we gave up after seeing the price 😅.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😀
I was surprised to see that the price of Nishinomon's sake is quite different between the general sake for dealers and the limited edition sake sold directly from the brewery 🤣.
Of course, the taste is also excellent 😀.
It was really a very productive two days 😇
Yasbay, again 🙏.
Congratulations on winning & getting so many Shinshu Kamerei 🎉that's what you two did 😉 I was just amazed at your energy for sake activities 👍✨Thank you for the trip and the reportage 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
We overscheduled quite a bit to make the most of the short time we had 🤣.
I was still surprised to see that the products sold at the direct store in Nishinomun are different from the ones served at the general stores😅.
Hi Pon 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
I was quite confident in my fitness, but as soon as I arrived home, I was tired 🤣.
Still, it was a good trip with a lot of harvest, encounters and discoveries😇.
Smooth on the palate
Fruity, sweet, elegant, delicious
Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture, water from the Saigawa River system
Nagano D yeast 50%, 14%.
The New Year started with this sake.
I bought it for the New Year on my way back from a business trip to Nagano and it was a great decision. It will be my hit sake brewery this year.
Last year was a hard year for me because my cat passed away, but this year has been a good start to the year.
Winter Nigorinpik 27
I bought this when I was allowed to taste it by the brewer who was just at the Hanshin Department Store for a special event 😀.
The small amount of the tasting didn't show this much, but I was surprised by the fruity taste that I couldn't believe it was fire-roasted 🤣.
It was a delicious fresh fruity taste and I think if you heard it was a raw sake and drank it, you would be convinced it was raw😇.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🦉.
I see that it is a fire-ground ogara-mi 😳It seems to be rare 🤔Sai-no-Mon, I tasted it at an event and it was delicious ❣️ I would like to drink ogara-mi 😻
Good evening, Yasubeyesan😃.
I went to the Nishinomon brewery on a trip to Nagano the year before last but the one they sell is too expensive to buy 😅I haven't been able to drink it since then 🥲I'll take you there next time I come across it👍.
Good morning, Pon 😀
I also collected more than 50 bottles of nigori type sake at this nigorinpic, but I think this was the only one that was fire-aged ❓🤣.
But it was a delicious sake that didn't feel fire-aged at all😇
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😀.
I see that you have some pretty expensive sake lined up at the brewery 😅.
Actually, we are planning a trip to Ueda and Nagano in March to visit sake breweries, so please let us know if you have any good information 🙇.
4.4
It has 17 degrees and is dark. Concentrated rice flavor.
Slightly fizzy.
It has a sweet taste with no strong alcohol aftertaste.
It is mild and tasty to the end.
When I visited the sake department of Ikebukuro Tobu at the end of last year, the brewer was selling sake,
I responded that I was looking for a heated sake,
I was told that this 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo could also be served warmed.
The flavor is soft and fruity,
It has a soft, fruity flavor, and when heated, the temperature rises without losing its shape.
We served it with buri daikon (radish) and miso-butter corn casserole.
Today's sake is a Junmai Daiginjo from Nishi-no-Mon, a brewery near Zenkoji temple in Nagano Prefecture❗️ and it is also a Miyamanishiki Arabashiri unfiltered raw sake❗️❗️ which is already a buy on its own.
The aroma is faintly sweet❗️ and the sip is refreshingly tingling and crisp and fruity❗️A great sake as a food sake❗️I finished the sake before I could fill it out carefully❗️Easy to drink sake❤️
