Calpis-like aroma. Fine bubbles. Delicious with a slight sourness. It is important to chill it well and not let it get lukewarm. I see what you mean, it's a beer.
Purchased at a sake brewery.
This sake brewery is located in the tourist area in front of Zenkoji Temple. The large site is open to the public for tours of the production process and displays of sake labels from around the country.
The sales floor is designed to let visitors taste and buy sake. The unit price is high. Due to the nature of the area and the time of year, it is impressive that there are many customers who are not sake enthusiasts but seem to be ordinary people.
Hi old man 😃
We also stopped by last year after visiting Zenkoji temple on our Shinshu sake trip 🍶 for the first time in a long time 🤗It was expensive as you said 😅 so we didn't buy it there 😆.
Dear Jay & Nobby
The high unit price is a concern, but it is not a bad purchase if you are traveling by car since the parking lot nearest Zenkoji Temple is free.
Please come to Shinshu Sake Trip as often as you like. The Suwa drinking tour is now open.
[My favorite word is ice warm 🧊]
Of all the sake related words, my favorite is "ice temperature aging".
When I find it, I basically go to the cash register 😁.
If it's a fresh sake, it's even better💘
The aroma is quite sweet 🍑 and the attack is actually as sweet and juicy as you'd expect.
But surprisingly, it doesn't linger and tightens up with a nice spiciness: 👍️
It is said that this is a half year old sake from this spring, so you can't smell the matured aroma in the hints.
It is good with a hearty meal. ⛩️
It can be served with Western food as well.
Hi Chanmaya P. 😃
Ice temperature 🧊 aging! Yes, that's a good four-letter word 🤗It will be gentle on the palate too😊.
But I need to prepare a refrigerator at home 🏠 that can be kept at ice temperature 🤔 I wish I had one!
J&N, sorry for the impossibly late reply... 🙇♂️
That's the part that really worries me, I've decided not to buy a dedicated sake fridge, so I'll drink it within a few days of buying it 😄.
Yoshinoya
Nishinomon Junmai Ginjo Nigori Sake
This brewery is located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture.
The rice is polished to 60% Nagano rice.
Gentle aroma, mellow rice flavor,
refreshing acidity, and a rich finish that is not too sweet.
Not too sweet, but with a full-bodied aftertaste.

I bought it at a recommended in-person sale at Ikebukuro Seibu...! What is the rice used for sake? What is it? Miyamanishiki? Is it Gohyakumangoku? Well, it's good because it's delicious... It's also delicious sipped as is 😋, but I enjoy it with shiokara crackers & yakitori from "Shiino", a well-known salted fish cracker shop♪ Nagano sake 🍶 delicious♪.
Purchased at Hankyu Umeda Main Store on 7/7
This sake has a mild sweetness of rice.
There is a slight alcohol taste after it goes down your throat, but it does not last that long.
but it does not linger that long.
It is also good as a food sake.
I have had this sake since I went to Zenkoji temple last year.
The brewery has a great tasting area.
I went there with a friend from high school,
I was impressed by the fact that one of my friend's college friends was working as a vendor.

Nishinomon Junmai Daiginjo Hitogokochi Orikagarami, unfiltered and bottle-fired. The aroma is iso-ish with a milky flavor, and when tasted, the flavor is moderately thick. When mixed, the milky aroma of the ori increases, and when it is drunk, it has a rounded texture with a pleasant tangy acidity with a hint of gas, and at the same time, it has a creamy, dark sweetness and umami that spreads and is truly an adult juice.
The lingering taste is slightly bitter and slightly bitter, which makes it even more pleasant.
The cleanliness and lightness of the aftertaste that can only be achieved with jun-dai is also delicious.
Mango, pineapple. As the label on the back says, tropical fruits. Hitogokochi sake has a refreshing image, but this one has a robust flavor. Delicious. The unfiltered raw series of Nishinomon is reasonably priced, so I would like to try the others.
