This is another autumn sake that is sharp yet full-bodied. We quite like Toyama sake. It is made from 100% Yuyamanishiki produced in Nanto, Toyama, with a rice polishing ratio of 55% and an alcohol content of 15%. Sipped with seared Nodoguro Sashimi.
Naekaya Special Junmai Yuyamanishiki
The aroma is of rice and a little straw? Aroma: rice and a little straw? Aroma is like rice and a little straw or oak.
On the palate, you can taste the sweetness of the rice, and it is a little bit sweet. However, the sweetness disappears nicely at the end, and the taste is more refreshing than expected.
Easy to drink.
This is delicious. The refined flavor of Yamadanishiki.
It is dark, deep, and refreshing. It is grape-like.
You can easily enjoy it without feeling that it has 16% alcohol.
I got it at Kurobe.
300ml ¥891- (tax included)
Among the various bottles available at the Toyama Prefecture antenna store, I bought this one with a red label that stood out from the rest. I also bought a bottle of trout sushi.
The sake tasted dry and delicious!
The last stop was Tokujiro's, but he treated us to some sake that was given to him by a customer who loves sake!
So, the special edition at our favorite Yakitori restaurant was Wakatsuru Sake Brewery's Naekaya!
This was my first time to try this brewery, as I had not encountered them on my trip to Toyama.
However, I was so drunk that I took almost no notes!

I got the impression that it was clean, sweet and tasty.
It is a very easy to drink sake without any unpleasant taste.
Special Junmai
The complex flavor attacks from the beginning.
After that, the sweet and umami taste comes through and gives a rich impression.
Well, today, while talking with the owner and the waitress about our trip to Korea, we had a great time enjoying delicious chicken dishes and plenty of sake.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
I'm sure it's not every day you get to travel to Korea with the owner and the waitress 🤩After the trip, it's great to have a good drink and talk about souvenirs while drinking 🥰 I'd like to compare the drinks at Naeka-ya too 😋.
Thank you, Takashi!
You're right 😲 I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be traveling with the general and the waiter too 🎵
Yes - not only the general, but also the waiter was very tongue-tied yesterday 🤣 it was a fun party 🤗.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😆.
You had a lot to drink this time 😊.
Good drinks and the atmosphere of your favorite restaurant...doesn't it make you feel like you're back in Japan?
Thank you Kano!
I drank a little too much for me 😅
Yes, I was thinking [this, this, this 😍] while talking with the owners and having their usual excellent food and sake 😁✨✨.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki😊I didn't know if I was going to get a reply notification, so I'm replying here 😅It's finally cooler and the season for sake! I'll try my best to heal with cats and sake 😂.
Thank you very much, Pierre!
You've been notified!
It's really getting cooler these days, especially in the mornings and evenings, and sake tastes even better 😋.
Take care of yourself and your cat & sake power ✊!
