I have not seen Nishinomon in a store for a long time. I bought several bottles, and this is one of them tonight. When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet fruity aroma with a hint of acidity. In the mouth, a full and robust flavor spreads to the palate, and the strong acidity tightens the aftertaste. There is also a bit of bitterness. It also has a richness that clings to the tongue. Interesting!
Shredded cabbage with sesame oil soy sauce and raayu on top. It sweetens the sake, but the sharpness of the oil refreshes it and it goes well with it! The stewed squid, evening glory, and eggplant in cream turns sake into a refreshing and light drink, so you can easily drink it. This is not good! Yugao is also delicious with wasabi soy sauce.
It was a wonderful encounter that made me feel refreshed and light with the snacks!
Sake selected through sake tasting🍶.
While tasting sake, I talked with the brewer to find out what I liked.
I was told that there is also sake made with brown rice. I wonder if I will be able to find sake made with unpolished rice someday.
Ice-aged raw sake is delicious!
A new discovery 💡.
First post in a while while drinking.
I was curious about this Nishinomon from the label.
It's sweet and sour, choppy and bittersweet.
In my opinion, Nagano sake has a nice gentle sweetness: ❤️
On a recent trip to Nagano, Japan,
I went to a sake brewery to buy some sake.
I was allowed to taste various kinds of sake, including some very high quality sake.
There were many sake that I could drink with a clear, refreshing taste.
As I like acidity, I bought the R-Yeast one!
There were two types of R-Yeast, regular and sparkling,
I was impressed with the sparkling one when I tasted it, so I bought it!
I drank it at home and found it to be tart and refreshing!
The oji at the end mellows out and makes it easy to drink.
Highly recommended! Strong acidity and apple-like fruity aroma comparable to a white wine. The acidity is pleasant and tingling on the tip of the tongue. Goes well with nuts.
For the record. My brother-in-law gave this to me as a souvenir from a visit to Zenkoji Temple. He tasted it at the brewery and chose it. It was very easy to drink and delicious, with a full sweetness and umami flavor. Thank you very much.
Continue😊.
Next stop is Nishinomoto: ☝️
This sake is brewed with two different types of rice😊.
It's quite a rich, clean, sweet and delicious sake 😁.
What can I say, it's a sake with a solid heart ✨.
On a trip to Nagano, I visited Yoshinoyasan's sake brewery near Zenkoji Temple.
We had a lot of sake to compare, but I forgot to take a picture of it - too bad. The picture is what we drank at the inn the day before.
We were allowed to taste a wide range of sake, from about 50 milled rice to 28 milled rice and more expensive ones, as well as Fukuro-hozuri and R-Yeast sake! They were very nice and explained everything to us in detail!
Of course, we were allowed to purchase some, and I plan to write about it in a memorandum when I drink it at a later date.
