Mikotsuru Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Aki-agari
Rating 4.4-4.5
Manufactured with Yamadanishiki rice, 50% polished rice, 16% alcohol by volume
Yamadanishiki" sake rice is grown by contract farmers in Azumino City, where spring water from the Northern Alps flows.
The fruity aroma has been preserved by Suwa Mikotsuru Sake Brewery's careful bottle heating technique, and the mature taste has been brought out in the autumn.
The aroma is green apple-like. It retains a sense of freshness.
On the way back from a drinking tour of Kamisuwa, we stopped by Mikotsuru Sake Brewery in Shimosuwa.
At the store, we bought a limited edition of Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
The aroma was fresh and pear-like, typical of nama-shu. In the mouth, it is gassy and fresh, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness.
It was worth the trip to the brewery.

I like the balance of sweet and sour.
The soft sweetness is followed by gentle acidity, and I can drink it all the time.
I love it ♥ 128 points ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm drinking at home🎶🎶.
It's been a while ☔️ 🚌 to visit liquor stores near Kyoto station🚶♂️➡️
From Isetan sake department to Takimoto to Daimaru sake department to Vinos Yamazaki 🚶♂️➡️
Gokotsuru's Miyamanishiki purchased at Daimaru, piquant, smooth and delicious 😋.
I like Miyamanishiki sake 😋 I don't know much about sake rice though 🤣.
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌝.
I bought this at Daimaru! I went there without any expectation 😅 There were some kinds of purple space in addition to Mikotsuru!
I've been overweight lately 🤣.
Jay and Nobby, good evening😊.
I know, right? Brewed with Miyamanishiki, it's very smooth and delicious 😆.
I could be wrong💦.
I also like Dewa Sanzan 😆.
My first Mikotsuru.
It had a nice aroma in the mouth and seemed to have a pear and yogurt type flavor.
It was quite refreshing on the first day, and after the second day, I felt the umami flavor was stronger.
It was a very delicious sake 🍶.

I have been in Nagano since Monday for three nights.
On the first day, I bought my favorite sake and drank it at the hotel. I wasn't feeling well (don't do that, good kids), but I bought this one and drank it. Miko's autumnal rise 🧡.
It is sweet and delicious.
It has the crispness of Yamada-Nishiki and the calm flavor of hi-ire, so I feel like I'll have more energy when I drink it. It's probably just my imagination💦.
Of course, I couldn't finish it. Good night 😴.
Happy Sake Day!
Online Cheers at home sober!
Gokotsuru, which I tasted and purchased at the brewery in May
Yamae Nishiki is a remarkable sake rice
When opened, the cappuccinos spread out
After that, an ineffable aroma!
Nectar, peach, canned mandarin oranges, pineapple, etc.
Sweet and mellow, with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
The entire flavor is pulled along by the aroma and brought together by the elegant acidity.
Definitely one of the top 3 best sake of the first half of the year!
Happy Sake Day, bap 🎵!
I haven't had any 💦.
Goko-san looks delicious 🤤.
It's one of the top sakes I'd like to try, so I hope to encounter it someday 😋.
I hope you enjoy Sake Day 🤗
Good evening, ma-ki-chan!
I love Mikotsuru...if you have a chance to try it!
Let's both be diligent so that next year's sake day can be celebrated safely 🍶.
Gokotsuru's Active Nigori I came across at my usual izakaya.
I went to the brewery on a trip to Nagano with my sake-loving friends and got it!
It has a refreshing taste with just the right amount of sweetness from Yamae-Nishiki combined with the bubbles.
We easily opened a bottle of 4 gou!
Mikotsuru's junmai ginjo, orikarami.
It has a clear, clean flavor and a light, clear mouthfeel. The aroma is not too gorgeous, but refreshing with a hint of apple.
Mikotsuru Yamae-Nishiki Unfiltered Nama-Shu
My favorite in the Miko-chan series😊.
A bottle with a steady and delicious sweetness.
It's ranking has gone up compared to the past.
Finally we could see autumn-like clouds ☁️
But it's still hot in the daytime,
Jaynobi, it's finally starting to look like fall 🍂, it looks like they are about to start brewing the new sake, but price increases are inevitable, I dread to see it😱!
I didn't think so because I didn't see it listed anywhere, but when I opened it, pshhhh,
When I drank it, there was fizz 😌💐.
Mikotsuru, everything I've ever had is delicious!
Strong sweetness and easy to drink clean 🍶💐💐.
Very tasty 🤤.
There is no gasiness, and a cute strawberry-like aroma is present at first, with a slight milkiness, a mellow and beautiful sweetness, and a slight bitterness that is very tasty. It is exactly the kind of sake that makes your heart flutter, as the label says.
