☀️
Purchased during a visit to the brewery.
I didn't have much time, so I decided on the words "limited warehouse sale" 😆.
It has a light taste for being aged. I wonder if the aging method can make it less old 🤔.
The sweetness is creamy and almondy 🫘.
The sweetness is creamy and almondy 🫘, and the ginjo aroma is skiffy 😳, giving it a light clean finish.
It tasted like a well rounded daiginjo-shu 😊.

Visiting the brewery and tasting 😄
We stopped by in the nick of time so we didn't get a chance to relax, but it looks like you can take a tour of the brewery, so we'll come back and relax 😆.
The middle one: Daiginjo W Award-winning Sake!
I had to try this one 😤.
It is mildly sweet and mellow on the palate.
It has a mellow aroma that is typical of daiginjos.
(2) Right: "Denpo Ishi-Iraku San-nen
Compared to daiginjo, it is easy to drink with a refreshing sweetness. Although it says "matured," it is not dull.
(3) Left: Made in a transparent tank
I wonder if this sake is matured in a transparent tank with light 🤔.
Soft sweetness, clean and flowing 😆.
Each one had its own personality and interesting tasting 😁.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
I love Tochigi with its series of Tochigi sake 🍶, and I see you went to Nishibori 🤗we haven't been there yet 😅I'd like to visit the brewery too👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌕.
It was Tochigi love 🥰 in Oyama ❗️
Nishibori-san can be reached by oo-bus from the station, so I'm thinking of taking my time to visit next time 😁.
J&N, if you go there, please give us a report 🤗.
It's already autumn sake!
It was hot, so I drank it very cold.
I felt it was a very dry sake.
I thought it would have more umami if the temperature was raised a little more.
The nose is sour, crisp and fruity.
When you take a sip, it is smooth and sweet with a soft acidity. It is completely sweet and has a richness like cotton candy. However, it goes down smoothly and disappears after swallowing.
After the next day, the overall impression is that it becomes mellower, but with a little more sharpness, making it easier to drink. The sweetness and the umami of the rice can be felt well, and although it is strong, it is easy to drink.
It is a good balance with strong-flavored snacks.
I bought this sake at a supermarket in Utsunomiya City, but there were many other local brands to choose from. It is good to find local sake at a liquor store, but supermarkets are also good.
Good evening, Mr. Kotaro 😊 What a surprise! Are you in Utsunomiya? Supermarkets in and around the station are nice 😃Paseo at the west exit and Shimadaya at the east exit have a good selection of goods, so you should definitely visit 🤭.
Good evening, Kotori!
I have relatives in Utsunomiya, so I sometimes visit them 😆 It's fun to wander around liquor stores and supermarkets that I don't usually go to 🥳Thank you for sharing ✨I'll try it next time👍.
Event.
Toast Festa 2024".
As many as 29 breweries are serving sake from each of them, and each cup is about 90ml and costs 300 yen.
This is a great deal 🥹.
Yumesasara from Tochigi Prefecture
Yumesasara" is a sake that you can't miss when you come to an event in Tochigi.
The color is light yellow.
It has a sweet aroma of ripeness.
When you taste it, it has a mild sweetness.
The aftertaste is a hint of Hakka.
It has a heavy sweetness, but the Hakka makes it feel light.
Hi Hiro, good evening 😃
What a surprise to see you here 😳I would have welcomed you if you had told me 🤗You're right, it's a good deal 😋Next time you come, let me know 👋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙.
Yes, we stopped by on our way back from visiting a sake brewery in Nikko😊.
We didn't stay long due to the bullet train on the way back, but we enjoyed the delicious sake from Tochigi 😆.
Please let me know next time you visit 🙇.
Overall 10 (out of 10)
We visited Nishibori Sake Brewery on 4/29 and purchased this sake!
(Today, my husband and I had our second bottle of Nishibori Sake following ILLUMINA.)
The aroma and umami of the rice is well blended with a moderate sweetness.
It is a sake that suits my taste very well!
Not too smooth, not too thick, and a smooth taste.
The aroma is very good.
-Aroma: Aroma of fragrant rice
-Aroma: Slight bitterness while maintaining the aroma of rice.

Sake lees soup with freshly picked bamboo shoots and daiginjo sake lees from a sake brewery in Tochigi, served with sweet miso and sauteed chicken thighs, along with two bottles of Tochigi's local sake: ❤️
Hi shinsaku3 & Pekho 😊!
All Tochigi dinner! Hmmm? I'd like to buy this one with a perfect score of 10 because I've never had it out of the gate in Sakénawa!
Hi Jay & Nobby😃
Yes ❗️GW has some days we start quite early 🍶❣️ (the best luxury with good drinks).
Today, May 3, we also start at 16:00 🍶😅.
Out of the gate, glad you're interested 😃.
I recommend ❣️
Even today, 90% of this local sake is consumed within Tochigi Prefecture, which is literally local production for local consumption. I felt its richness the moment I put it in my mouth. It is a classic sake with a strong flavor of rice.
It has been a long time since I was on an expedition. Since we were in the car, we opened a modest sized bottle of this.
It is a junmai sake made from Tochigi rice. Although it was a travel sake, we forgot to prepare a cup and drank it straight from the bottle. It has a soft taste with an impressive sweetness. If it were warmed up hot, the sweetness would be reduced and the sake would be more balanced.
I thought it was nice to encounter many kinds of sake when traveling.
When I dropped by Kobe Hankyu at the end of the year, I was about to pass by it because I didn't have any sake, but then I found this one!
I love Tochigi again 😊.
It's thin and cloudy. Fresh, clean, sweet and juicy.
First time I've ever had a draft sake and it's so good.
Even after drinking it again, it tastes like a refreshing apple.
