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.
Gorgeous and luscious aroma.
Tropical fruitiness on the palate.
Pineapple and mango-like nuances 🍍🥭🥭.
The wine has a rich and robust sweetness and flavor, though it doesn't have a bad aftertaste...
Sake lees cream cheese for snack!
It is a refreshing, fruity and delicious sake. It has a refreshing feeling perfect for summer. It is indeed a daiginjo, but it is also reasonably priced at around 2,000 yen.
Junmai Daiginjo🍶.
Trip to Ueda, Nagano 🚃Souvenir
Slightly bitter, but pleasantly smooth. Bitter taste is pleasant. Beautiful dry taste. Sweet and refreshing with flatfish sushi. Almost no acidity.
Super fish shop sushi (tuna, flatfish, flathead, kibinago, horse mackerel, natural kanpachi, mystery clams) is delicious enough 😋.
