Day Trip to Ise Drinking Series (2)
A cup of sake with a freshness and a hint of sourness unique to nama sake.
I have been to Ise several times, but I never knew there was a sake brewery in Okage Yokocho😳.
Another place I must stop by when I visit Ise 🍶.
Souvenir sake.
This nigori sake is easy to drink, with no unpleasant taste or bitterness.
However, nigorizake is currently in the midst of a boom, and leading sake breweries are releasing more and more sake, and the level of nigorizake is rising. According to the pamphlet, nigori sake is targeted at women and people who are not good at drinking, but if that is the case, I think it would be better to make it a little lighter in both strength and mouthfeel.
Mixing it with tomato juice or grape juice and soda water was also good.
Nigori sake can be enjoyed like a cocktail.
They won a trophy at IWC.
Paid tasting at the brewery during a visit to Ise Jingu Shrine.
However, I didn't really feel the goodness of the wine because it was kept at room temperature.
I would like to believe that the original goodness would have come out if it was chilled.
Rice polishing ratio 40
Alcohol content 17
The aroma is sweet and unobtrusive. The sweetness is the first impression, followed by sourness and umami.
It was a gift, but it reminds me of when I visited Ise. The afternoon before visiting the Inner Shrine, I had some time to spare, so I went to the brewery to check it out, found it, and drank a lot of sake while listening to the stories of the people there. It was hard to say which was more important, the visit to the shrine or the sake, but it was a lot of fun and I would like to go back again ✈.

This is what I drank when I stayed at a guest house in Mie Prefecture around New Year's. I appreciate the naming. I also visited Ise Shrine, so I felt very grateful.
The food at the guest house was wonderful, and the sake went well with the fish.
It was easy to drink without any habits.
Received as a souvenir from a trip to Ise🙏.
Isuzu River, a clear stream that flows through the precincts of Ise Jingu Shrine.
When you hear that the sake is made from its subterranean water, it feels so divine ⛩☺️.
The impression on the palate is a little sweet with a moderate aroma.
The taste is crisp and has a hint of bitterness.
Delicious 😚.
