At a bar I was curious about.
I told them what kind of sake I liked.
and they brought some selections for me,
You can decide after tasting them.
This is the one I ordered fruity and they brought it.
I had R yeast the other day with another sake from Nagano.
It is quite sour, fresh, and delicious.
Beian Daikoku has a lot of sweet drinks.
I used to avoid them, but recently I often pick them up.
But recently, however, I often pick up a bottle.
I guess I've learned that they make sweet but tasty sake.
I often see sake stored in the snow, but this one looks delicious. I was drawn in by the words "sold by a distributor," and bought it.
It was sweet, but delicious. It is very good for the body after a long day's play.
I was soaked to the skin after a long day's play.

This is the third year.
The color of the swimsuit👙 changes every year, and the one I wore last year has been properly dried. Oh, how I regret missing the first year 😞.
First sweet, then acid at the end. So "was it sour?" and you will remember it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It has an elegant texture and must have been carefully stored in the snow 😊.
Ane, good morning 🐥.
So this is the 3rd year in a row you've had this deliciousness 😻
You noticed the label well 😊👍and the photo? Holding it? I was also surprised that the angle is the same 😆👍
Good evening, Pon.
I like the taste, it's perfect for summer. I felt like I probably wrote the same thing about the label last year 💦.
The angles surprised me too when I lined them up 🫢.
This is the warehouse behind my parents' house. Please patronize it.
I asked Mr. Mukaida about it, and he said he knows it. Let's go out for a drink next time.
Mr. Arai, it's been a while.
Wow, wow, when did you join that company? Yes, Mr. Mukaida was very helpful to me in the same group when I joined the company. We drank last month and the month before. The boss of the group when I joined the company is also there.
This sake was the liquor store's choice that was sent along with the hanpukai sake from Miyajima Sake Shop in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture 😀.
I had enjoyed a previous bottle of Kitayasu Okuni's snow storage sake wrapped in newspaper at a local liquor store, but today I would like to taste the differences between the two 😀.
The aroma and taste was a fruity sake with a sour and sweet flavor reminiscent of apples and grapes 😀.
The flavor was more robust than the sake wrapped in newspaper, probably due to the longer storage period 😀.
Kitaan Okuni from Nagano Prefecture is another sake I would buy if I see it 😇.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan 😃.
I like the labels that tell the story of the Yukichu ☃️ stored sake that we get in the summer 🤗Kitaan Okuni! I haven't tasted it yet 🥲I'd like to try it 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
It seems that the dried swimsuits on the label represent the number of bottles brewed so far, and this year is the fourth time it has been sold😇.
I like the style wrapped in a simple newspaper though 🤣.
Please give it a try 😀
Today's sake is Kitayasu Okuni Snow Storage Sake from Kitayasu Brewery in Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture❗️❗️
The aroma is slightly sweet❗️As you sip, you will feel a tingling and sourness on your tongue, followed by a slight bitterness❗️It is also a good sake for a mealtime drink❗️❗️
3.9
It seems to be brewed with Nagano R yeast, which produces a lot of malic acid. The acidity is guttural, but it is different from that of sake yeast, and is well balanced with the sweetness.
3.9 ★★★☆☆☆
It's not bad, but in general, it lacks punch.
It's not that it doesn't have flavor, and as it says malic acid, it has strong acidity. Characteristic and interesting.
Like a young white wine.
Good for occasional drinking.
I was surprised by the sudden tsunami warning last morning, but relieved that there was no major damage to Japan.
I am keenly aware of the importance of daily disaster prevention awareness 😓.
Now, I'm in the spirit of drinking when I can, so let's have a drink 🍶.
Kitaan Okuni Midsummer Midwinter Sake - Snow Storage Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Get it as an option in the July Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai (✨️). This one is completely new to me 💡.
This is a challenging bottle of freshly pressed, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake made in the winter and bottled and stored in the snow!
［Even in the heyday of "light and dry" sake, if you continue to make "mellow sweet" sake, someone will take a shine to it.
I can feel the confidence of the brewery that if they continue to make this sake, someone will be attracted to it, and that person will continue to buy "Kitaan Okuni".
［Glass.]
The aroma of rice is slightly banana-like, the mouthfeel is mellow with a gentle umami and banana-like richness, and then it finishes with a pleasantly long aftertaste and a sour bitterness.
［Mokkiri.]
The rice aroma is reminiscent of bananas, and the mouthfeel is soft with a strong acidity that finishes with a gentle aftertaste and a sweet and sour taste that lingers on the palate.
The sweetness and umami are in contrast to the "Ding" opened the other day, but there are similarities in the clean taste 🤔.
Both served with local seafood [Seared Spanish Mackerel] and [Sashimi of Black Sea Bream] 😋.
For the fourth one, I went to Yamaoka for the limited-time-only Burnt Soy Sauce Ramen (🍜).
However, I wasn't into it as much as I thought I would be, so I went back later for the "Special Miso Ramen" to cleanse my palate 🥰.
Good morning, Mr. Jive!
Your Nagano sake looks delicious tonight 😋.
I've never seen it in person either, so I'm very curious 🎵
You are energetic in your sake activities as well as your rah-rah activities 🍜.
Hi Gyve 😃
I didn't know about this drink ‼️ it looks delicious, rich and sharp like bananas 😊I can't wait to try it as the limited time offer was recently changed to Stamina Soy Sauce Hormone 🍜.
Hi Jive 😃.
Mid-summer and mid-winter sake, what a fun contrast 😀 The label is playful too ❣️ banana🍌 feeling, I haven't had a drink lately 😍 I haven't had ramen🍜 either.
Hello, Mr. Nochi!
I tend to lack salt during hot weather when working on site from early in the morning until late at night, so after a hard day's work, a glass of YAMAOKA-KA is a special treat 🍜.
Hi ma-ki-san!
I was curious about this sake brewery because it was new to me too, but this one was also one of Nagano's great nature 🍶.
I've been having ramen fever for a while, but now it's rekindled 🤣.
Hi Manachie!
I guess I wasn't feeling well, but I finished before I had a chance to try the "Burnt Soy Sauce" 😓.
I'm looking forward to the next one [Stamina Soy Sauce Ramen] 🥰.
Hello, Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
There are still some breweries and brands that I don't know 🥰.
For me, it was the first bottle that I recognized the atmosphere of [banana], so it was a good indicator for the future 🍶[Stamina Motto Soy Sauce Ramen] Drunken, isn't it?
Hi, HinaHanaMama ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It's a maturing method that can only be done in a region with deep snow 🥰.
It's a winter sake on the inside, but the label has a summery feel to it, which is very seasonal and intoxicating. ✨️
［I'm rekindling my ramen fever thanks to Sake-no-wa 🤣.
Drinking train this morning.
The empty cross seat is great for the drinking train, but it's tough to maintain the line.
Thank you JR!
This sake is full of sweetness!
It goes well with the salty nozawana oyaki!
It's nice to enjoy a relaxing morning drinking train with a nice view!
Hi Masaki Sapporo 😃
It was a luxury that money can't buy to relax and enjoy this view 😄.
But I was worried because there were only a few passengers from Shinano-Omachi to Itoigawa in Niigata...
There was a sizzling sound when the bottle was opened. The top aroma is a zingy aroma. When you drink it, a refreshing acidity spreads and it quickly becomes sharp. This is delicious. The light flavor makes it easy to drink. The light atmosphere is very good. The sweetness and bitterness are moderate, and the crispness is like lemon juice, as shown on the back label. Is it similar to white wine? It is dangerous even though it is only 15 degrees Celsius. The nose has a citrus aroma. It is good both on its own and with food. It goes well with dry foods such as pistachios and surume. Very good cosmetics. I would like to repeat it.
Similar to Cicadas of the Turtle Sea?
Especially good on its own
