It is fresh and crisp, and you can feel the flavor of the rice. It goes well with both fish and meat.

I bought it last year as a souvenir from Utsunomiya. It's been a while since I've had "out of the gate", but my taste buds have changed since the last time I had it, so I'm looking forward to it! When you open the bottle and pour it, it smells like citrus fruits and lychee. It is tasteless on the palate, but gradually the richness and mellowness of the rice comes out. The sweetness, spiciness, and astringency of the flavor are all present as soon as the lid is opened! Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has such a robust flavor that it may be served warm. The overtone is similar to that of "Shinkame" and gives the impression of a matured sake. The lingering aftertaste is well rounded as it quickly fades away. Overall, the shades of gray are exquisite, and the taste is quite interesting! In fact, the first sake I ever drank in my life was "Monkai Fude. I was actually the first person in my life to drink sake, and that drink at Kinugawa Onsen has led me to the present day.

We received #Monkaifude Special Junmai Sake from #Nishibori Sake Brewery, Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. The sweet and refreshing aroma is soft, the rice flavor and richness spreads, and the sharpness goes down your throat easily. It would go well with sashimi. It would be interesting to warm it up or age it.

Souvenir sake bought in Tochigi. It has a mild mouthfeel and a moderate aroma. The aftertaste is clean and the sake smell is controlled, making it easy to drink.

It is a delicious sake that is mellow and leaves a sweet taste on the tongue. But it is not sharp. It is a delicious sake suitable for summer when drunk chilled 😋.

Tochigi Pref. Oyama City. Nishibori Brewery Co. Junmai-shu (Junmai sake) When I drink it for the first time and it tastes especially good, there are two patterns: one is to say "旨っ❗" with eyes so wide open that they pop out of my head, and the other is to say "うんまーっ❗" with a grin as the corners of my mouth turn up in a grin without knowing it. I tasted this sake at the Hankyu Department Store's "Traveling SAKE" event, and this was the latter reaction. Junmai sake is the brewery's benchmark sake, and at the time of the tasting, the junmai ginjo was already sold out. The junmai ginjo was already sold out at the time of the tasting, so it was served cold. The aroma has a slight grain aroma. It is smooth and flows smoothly down the throat, with a slightly viscous mouthfeel right out of the fridge. Only the clarity stands out, and at first it is a little loose and unsatisfying, but the slight sweetness spreads out and the spiciness is not so noticeable. After drinking for a while and as the temperature rises, the acidity gradually tightens up and just before it becomes sour, it is perfectly fused with the umami. This is a technique that is very skillful and exquisite. What is it? It is a little different from the image I got from the tasting 🤔. Well, it's okay because this is delicious 😁. Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio:70%. Alcohol content:15 Sake meter rating:+4(Taste: Dry)

Hello Nemuchi ^ ^ I understand those two patterns. ☺️ Of course, the "旨っ❗" that comes quickly is good, but the "うんーーーー❗" that comes slowly afterwards is also good👍.

Hi Nemuchi 😃 I agree that it's different from the image I got from the tasting 😅. I left it at room temperature due to the convenience of the fridge after opening it, but unlike the image I had, the aged aroma came out a bit and I felt it deteriorated quickly 🤔.

Purchased at Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. I wondered if it was special junmai or junmai! I thought when I saw the label😅. I tasted it and it was so rich and delicious that I bought it. The tasting was at room temperature, but I tried it cold. Well, the spiciness is more noticeable when it's cold. I prefer it at room temperature. At room temperature, it is sweet, tasty, and acidic. I've left it at room temperature for a week after opening, and it's starting to show a bit of maturity. I wonder if it has a surprisingly delicate sake quality.

Hello, Mr. Manachy. I've always wondered if it's okay to make it a brand name that's not allowed out of the gate 😅I've always thought that even hidden sake is not hidden at all 🤣. I've always thought 😅 that hidden liquors aren't hidden at all 🤣.

Hello Ponchan 😃 It's possible that the tasting magic increased the flavor, but it was delicious even for home drinking. I thought this is a high level of standard sake 🤔I had the impression that the standard class of all Tochigi sake breweries were of a high level overall 😊.

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. The most unusual item this time? Sake brewed by irradiating blue LEDs in a transparent acrylic tank. It is said that blue LEDs have the effect of inhibiting fermentation, and there is also a dry sake called "Illumina Red" that is irradiated with red LEDs, which have the effect of accelerating fermentation. For more information, please visit the Nishibori Sake Brewery's website. Hmmm, there is some kind of smell...? I think the taste itself is sweet, but the discomfort is too much for me😅. Nemuchi-san also said the same thing, so I'm sure it's not my imagination. If the sake I bought had this flavor, I'd go to cooking sake 😭

Good evening, bouken! (^O^) It would be very sad if you paid 2,700 yen for a bottle of sake and it turned out to be different from what you expected...(^_^;) I guess the brewery was aiming for a niche.

Good evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai 😃. I think I would have been shocked if I had bought it without tasting it 😅I don't mean to sound too much like a layman, but I was wondering if there was something wrong with the production process 🤔.

Tochigi sake featured in Hankyu Department Store's Traveling SAKE. I knew the name of this sake, but I had never seen it in Kansai. The junmai ginjo was sold out early, so I was only allowed to taste it. I couldn't take a picture of it because it was quickly put away in the refrigerator 🤣. I guess it was a little too cold...it was tasty but a little blurry compared to the first junmai I tasted. I thought it would be better to drink it at room temperature. I bought it because the Junmai here was too good. Overall, there were many sakes at this event that made me jealous of people in Tochigi who can drink them for dinner.

Nishibori Sake Brewing Company, Tochigi, Japan "Out of the Gate" booth. As the name suggests, 90% of the sake is consumed within the prefecture. New Junmai Monkai-fude Illumina Blue The Junmai, the basic Junmai of the brewery, was surprisingly too good 😳. The junmai ginjo is sold out and there are only a few bottles of junmai left 💦. It's still early in the season, so I didn't want to move with a basket, but I didn't want it to sell out even more, so I secured it immediately ❗ Illumina Blue" is a sake made in a transparent tank made of acrylic and illuminated with blue LED lights to control fermentation. The top-tasting aroma is kind of nasty and weird, and it tastes subtle and weird when you drink it😅. I'm sure bouken thought the same thing 🤣. There was another brand called Nishibori, but I headed elsewhere without tasting it.

Nemuchi, good evening 😃. Thanks for your help yesterday😊I drank too much but it was fun 😋I'm wondering if the Illumina Blue is only that bottled by accident or if they all taste like that 😅.

Opened on March 10, 2023 Purchased after tasting at the brewery. They used a custom made transparent tank with specific light to control fermentation 😆. It is very soft, sweet and has a strong rice taste. ❗️ It is well balanced, including the acidity at the end, so you won't get tired of drinking it ^ ^. The full aroma from the nose further enhances the deliciousness of the sake‼️

The science of sake brewing by the president is a lot of fun 🌟. The taste is somewhat unique too! This Tokujun is also somewhat unique but easy to drink 🍶 even as a food sake ❗️

Color Yellowish Slightly sour taste like rice melting Sourness like melted rice A finish that quickly fades away. A refreshing taste different from that of "Awarei". My wife gave me some chocolate for Valentine's Day. Sake instead of chocolate for my wife's Valentine's Day I love Nishibori Shuzo's Nama-shu, unfiltered Junmai-shu (pure rice sake) This is the best sake I've ever tasted! Delicious!
