I have recently become quite addicted to Mikotsuru-san from Suwa 😀.
I've been drinking Gokotsuru until now.
I've been drinking Mikotsuru's sake rice from Nagano prefecture, and all of them are raw sake 😀 I missed the first shipment at my usual shop.
I missed it the first time it came in at my usual store, but I got it safely the second time it came in 😀.
It had the usual Miko-chan taste as a base, but with a firm Yamadanishiki-like umami and a roundness that is typical of the autumn season, making it a delicious sake 😀.
However, my preference for the taste of Goko-chan is more towards the usual raw sake made with Nagano sake rice 🤣.
Mikotsuru Junmai Dry Egaraumi Unrefined Nama-shu 720ml
Rice / Miyamanishiki Koji, Miyamanishiki Kakemai, common rice
Polishing ratio / Koji rice - 60%, Kake rice - 70%.
Alcohol / 16%.
It used to be rough, but this time it is all set.
It was produced in February and shipped in August. We didn't feel much gas, but the second day we opened the bottle again with a shotgun. It is a very healthy, silky, and delicious sake.
Maybe a bottle next time 😋.
The once-a-year grand feast is over.
The first choice to return to the daily routine is this year's bikini "Mikotsuru"!
From the many varieties of sake rice available, we opened a bottle of Miyamanishiki, the rice of choice with his wife 😊.
We immediately smelled the aroma...hmmm...⁉️
It's so 💦 mild....
The taste...well...⁉️
It's also very mild 😩.
Well, well, well... and while complaining...
Drink it well 😅
I was about to put the rest in the fridge 👀
💦"Bottle heated once fired" 😱Oops💦.
I thought it was all raw sake😅.
But still, it has a fruity aroma for a fired sake 😅.
Which means... it's delicious after all 🙏.
It has a fruity citrus aroma and is easy to drink with a tangy sourness and umami taste in the mouth.
I bought this sake on a trip to Nagano and would buy it again.
It has a mild sweetness with a powerful spiciness, and I recognized that this is the kind of sake I like.
I bought it at Omasu in Asakusa.
I chose a reasonably priced sake with a low rice polishing ratio.
It's a nice, intoxicating sake. It goes great with salty snacks. It was actually an adventure because I didn't know about this sake, but it turned out to be a hit 👍.
Sake I wanted to try. Gokotsuru.
Taste report, difficult, recently,
Good aroma as soon as the bottle was opened.
Great expectations!
In the mouth, the sweetness is controlled and it is delicious!
I would like to try a draft sake next time,
