I was on a trip to Nagano Prefecture, so I stopped by the Sakunohana brewery and found a store next door that sold it, so I bought it.
The first of three bottles, it was clear and refreshing, but not my favorite.
On this day, we opened a bottle of Urasaku with the label turned inside out.
There is not much of an upfront aroma, and the sweetness on the palate is moderate and refreshing!
It was just right for a hot and humid day.
It is a light, crisp sake with a refreshing aftertaste.
It has a subtle pineapple flavor, and it was pleasant to drink it chilled outside during the hot summer months ♫
It has a pineapple-like aroma, rich rice flavor and sweetness with a nice sharpness 😆 ♫This year we were also able to visit the brewery, which makes it more accessible 💕.
Label: 🏷️
Difficulty medium😃.
I was able to get the label to work, but it was a little difficult to get the tape off.
The back label is a sticker type, so it was easy to remove with a scraper.

A fresh bottle produced on July 7🍶.
It is fruity like a Shinshu sake, but it is easy to drink with a clear dry taste.
The clarity of this unfiltered, unpasteurized sake is also amazing.
Today's sake is Saku no Hana Junmai Ginjo "39-87", a direct summer sake made with malic acid yeast❗️
The aroma is clean and sweet❗️As you take a sip, you will feel the unique sourness of the flower yeast on your tongue❗️Then comes the sharp astringency and sweet aroma❗️A good sake for a mealtime drink⭕️
Sake made with apple yeast, with aromas of apples and peaches, despite the rice polishing ratio being in the 50% range.
Slightly effervescent, fresh and full-bodied.
Sake-like bitterness in the aftertaste gives it a sharpness.
The wine shows nuances of Sauvignon Blanc and Sake from warmer regions.
On the second day, the prominent acidity is gone and the wine becomes more cohesive.
Fat in a wine glass
100% Nagano sake brewing rice
Alcohol 16%.
Polishing ratio 59
Melon-like aroma
Crisp and dry with a sweet top note.
It also has a lot of volume.
Good to drink!
It has a muscat-like aroma, sweet flavor and bitterness that spreads and finishes with a kick. It was a very delicious sake that could be enjoyed alone or with a meal 😊.
Store where purchased
It was not available at the Saku-no-Hana Sake Brewery store, so I went to a nearby store.
We bought it at the nearby Sakeho-Shimizuya Sakuhira store ☺️ which has a large selection of Nagano's local sake and a very nice atmosphere 💕We hope to go there again 🥰.
Label: 🏷️
Low difficulty 😍
It's glued on so it's easy to peel off if you soak it in hot water!
Where to buy 🍶: Shimizuya Sakepo Shimizuya Sakuhira Store
The label is a reversal of the character for Saku no Hana, meaning that it is a sake to be drunk during the season behind the brewing of sake.
Refreshing aroma and acidity, gorgeous and fresh summer sake.
This sake is good👍.
