Naozane - Namazake from the brewery
Yeast Saitama E
Alcohol: 16%.
Sake degree 0
Acidity 1.2
Aroma: Aroma of rice, rich aroma, and a little bit of alcohol.
Taste: The umami and sweetness of the rice come through strongly, and there is a slight melon-like sweetness.
I prefer light and dry sake, but once you get used to it, it is also delicious!
It goes well with simmered fish!
Gonda Shuzo Special Junmai Naozane Sakarimusashi 60
Sake strength +5, Association 901 yeast
Aroma: Slightly aged aroma.
The taste has a robust rice flavor with a slight acidity, and although the sake strength is +5, it does not feel that harsh due to the sweetness, and the aftertaste is sharp.
The aftertaste is crisp. The impression is of a round, mellow flavor.
It can be enjoyed until lukewarm.
The second bottle for today's dinner.
A 180ml bottle of Naozane Ginjo from Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture.
The sake name "Naozane" comes from Kumagaya Naozane, a military commander who also appears in the last days of Atsumori in the Tale of the Heike.
The flavor is in the classical range,
Firmly 50% polished. Aji Ginjo more than expected.
Tastier than expected, good impression.

Hiraccio-san, good evening... I've been watching your posts with interest because I've recently seen a lot of Saitama sake that I know nothing about 😆 Saitama is our neighbor, but you may have only seen Kamikame, Kahayo, Gojyurashi, and Bunraku 🥺.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy😊.
I think it is very difficult to expand to other prefectures and to be nationally competitive.
In addition to the four breweries you mentioned, Kagamiyama and Kameko-Kabishi are my personal top sake breweries in Saitama Prefecture.
Naozane
I asked an acquaintance in Kumagaya to purchase it for me.
It has a clean and refreshing taste.
A solid taste with weight.
Not bad at all!
Ingredient rice: "Takemura" (sake brewer's rice)

The only sake brewery in Kumagaya, Saitama
Naozane Ginjo" brewed by Gonda Shuzo
It is brewed with local sake rice, Takemusashi and Yamadanishiki, and Saitama's own yeast.
It was smooth and smooth at first, with no
without any sticking to the throat.
The fruity aroma reaches the throat
After that, a mellow heat is put in the back of the throat.
Then, it is slightly dry and sharply cut.
Kumagaya's sake is hard to buy!
I met another good sake 😂.
We got a bottle of Naozane from our local Gonda Sake Brewery!
His son came back some years ago and has been working hard on sake brewing. It was a cup that made us feel that he is sincerely devoted to sake.
It has a soft melon aroma, and on the palate it is wonderful, expressing the power of the raw sake with the clean crispness of the aluzo addition 😊.
Today is the annual New Year's Day visit to Kawagoe Naritasan
Naritasan, and then to celebrate the golden wedding of my wife's parents. Dinner.
The drink menu consisted mainly of wine, but there was also sake on the menu, and Naozane was recommended as a mid-meal drink.
The sake was classical and calm, but had a moderate flavor of rice and a sharpness that left a good impression.
I would like to try it at home next time.
At a product exhibition in the Omiya Station concourse.
I was told that they usually sell only raw sake directly from the brewery, so I gave it a try.
It is 17% alcohol, so it has a strong but refreshing ginjo aroma.

Elegant but light. Souvenir from a sake-tasting party
Sake from Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, named after Kumagaya Naozane, famous for the Kabuki play "Ichigaya shinen gunki. The brewer was selling it at a local supermarket, so I bought it. I was served a "Shiboritate (freshly brewed)" sake, which is usually sold only at the brewery.
[A glass of junmai]
Aroma: A fresh and clean aroma of koji malt. It has a fruity aroma similar to that of Junmai sake from Morishima (Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture), but the aroma is not as strong as that of Morishima.
Taste: Fresh, thin, and clear. On the tongue, it is like clear water, with a refreshing throat. After drinking, one can feel alcohol in the back of the throat. Perhaps it is because it is a pure sake, but for a junmai sake, the sake character and rice character are not so assertive. After a few glasses, the strength of junmai sake lingers in the throat, but it is light and easy to drink when served cold. It may be easy to drink for those who are new to junmai sake.
Matching: I served it with grilled dried hokke (hokke), and it went very well with the dish without interfering with it. The only drawback is that it is easy to drink as if it were a ginjo, so you can get drunk without realizing it. According to the waiter at the brewery, it also goes well with meat dishes.
This was a dish that thoroughly enjoyed our early summer table.
Purchased at the roadside station, Menue. It's refreshing to drink. A little sweet? But it's not too harsh and has a spicy aftertaste. This is good. Be careful, it's very easy to drink!
