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.

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.
It is grayish clear with aromas of cooked rice, honeysuckle, and pear. The attack is rather weak, with a gentle acidity, rich sweetness and a rather long finish.
It came out and won the honorable mention in the 95th Nanbu Touji Homebrew Sake Competition.
A dry sake that is typical of Japanese sake.
Went very well with spicy lotus root kinpira.
Sour! Spicy! Wasabi! and other slightly stimulating foods.
