At "Koryori Nara" in Nara, Japan.
Sake made from their own rice, "Yumesansui".
Sweetness with bitterness and sourness.
Richness like green ume plum wine.
The freshness that lingers on the side of the tongue afterwards.
The sweetness stands out when paired with food.

I was first attracted to this simple label.
Then, I was impressed by the clean and refreshing taste at 81% rice polishing ratio! Is it because of the dewy leaf style?
Even though it is in Nara City, it is in the mountains. There is good sake in the countryside of Nara!

I'm still basking in the afterglow of the Tochigi Prefectural Meeting.
The day after the meeting, I went to Sano City and had my first Sano Ramen and Gyoza (Chinese dumplings) 😄The light flavor of Sano Ramen and the handmade noodles went well together. The Sano ramen is light and the handmade noodles go well together. The gyoza was so delicious and garlicky that I bought some as souvenirs (lol).
Then we went to a sake store. The first time I went to Ueoka Sake Shop 😄I found it to have a nice atmosphere. I was interested in this one. Kuramoto-san! Yamadanishiki but dry? I thought it was interesting, so I bought it. The aroma is apple and rice. You can also taste sourness from it. When you drink it, it has a moderate sweetness and umami. Up to this point, it is typical of Yamadanishiki. The acidity comes from there, and the sharpness or lingering aftertaste is nice. There are many Yamadanishiki that are full-bodied, but it is rare to find a Yamadanishiki that has a sharp taste. It is delicious 😄The acidity is also good. I can feel the high level of Mr. Kuramoto.
Buying sake I've never had at a liquor store I've never been to. This is one of the best parts of traveling 😄.
Good morning, Sashu 😃.
I see you bought Kuramoto-san! I just drank it at an event myself, but it's delicious 😋.
And the raw sake 😳 looks delicious too 🤤.
I agree with you about the best part of traveling liquor stores 😆.
Hiro, yes 😊I bought Kuramoto-san. It was my first time and it was very clear and rich at the same time. I'm so happy to be able to drink fresh sake at this time of the year.
Hi Sashu 😃.
Your judgment is excellent from the topic of Kenmin-kai to Sano Ramen🍜‼️ Sano Gyoza🥟 are huge 😊and from there to Ueoka Sake Shop 🤗I have a rule that I can't open the fridge by myself, but 😅they have a good selection 🤗.
Jay & Nobby-san The Sano Ramen was delicious, and the gyoza was surprisingly large 🥟 and really tasty. And Mr. Ueoka, as you said, can't open the fridge by himself... that's how concerned he is about quality!
Good evening, Sashu-san!
I was so happy that you came to Sano the next day to eat ramen 🍜😆🙌Gyoza is also delicious 😘Next time we will take the car 🚙 so we can go to the liquor stores.
Tsugenoir" means "terroir of the region of Tsukiji" and was created with the intention of brewing a sake from the region of Tsukiji using rice produced in the Tsukiji district where the brewery is located. The rice used is dewy leaf wind. Mr. Morimoto, a local rice farmer in Tsukiji, grows the rice in a near-organic way. The rice was low-polished (81%) in order to utilize the power of the rice in the fermentation process and to create a complex flavor.
The aroma is mild. The aroma is mild, with a hint of koji (malted rice).
The mouthfeel is round and moist. The mouthfeel is slightly crisp, with a full flavor that spreads gradually.
While there is a smart element, there is also a firm acidity and a bit of graininess and complexity.
It is not heavy, but has a good density and a crisp taste.

Purchased last week when I was back home in Osaka
After visiting Imanishi Shuzo's new brewery, we went to Noboru Sake Shop.
We happened to run into the representative of Kuramoto Sake Brewery, whom we had met the day before at the National Sake Fair.
Chose the first Kuramoto's Noboru Sake Brewery PB for drinking at home!
Cold sake.
Ripe and mellow fruit aroma
Smart and light on the palate.
Very rich and mellow from the mid-palate
Impressive acidity without any peculiarities.
Good with strong flavored food
Texture like 100% apple juice.
(Not that much apple flavor).
Fresh and thick.
The acidity is fresh and juicy.
It tastes like apples and white grapes.
