The first time I drank fire-brewed Mikotsuru was delicious, so I chose unfiltered raw sake 🍶Gohyakumangoku♪ Both the aroma and mouthfeel are fruity like Gohyakumangoku♪ The aftertaste is sharp with a good amount of bitterness! The bitterness is not to everyone's liking............................................It is also good as a food sake. ⭕️ It's very fresh only because it's a fresh sake 🍶! Nagano sake 🍶 is high quality 🤔.

The first Mikotsuru! Aroma: A hint of fruity rice aroma... sweetness on the palate, followed by an aftertaste of just the right amount of bitterness! Aftertaste from the sweetness...good bitterness to a sharp finish! I like the sweet, mellow, umami taste of Nagano sake 🍶... Nagano sake never fails me 🎵Yummy 😋 Hey... this too... there was some delicious looking "raw bonito" so I had this with it... the "fat" was so rich that you would never guess it was bonito this time of the year... I'd like to try the unfiltered raw one next time,

Today I'm going to try this one that I couldn't forget after drinking it at a familiar restaurant 🎶🍶I was very happy to get the last bottle at the brewery and was looking forward to it 😉🎶. I thought it would be a bit tricky to open since it was an active nigori, but it opened easily 😅. Let's start with the top clear 😆The aroma has a sweet and sour ginjo aroma with a hint of lychee 😉✨️ In the mouth, first a hint of aroma like rumney 🥤 passes through the nose 🫧🫧 and then a gassy feeling 🫧 and you can't help but say "ume~" 🎶🤤. When you mix the lees❄, the aroma still calms down. ✨️ When you put it in your mouth, it still has a roundness to it, and maybe a slight bitterness at the end ❔🤔, but still this activity. Nigori is so delicious💕Please try it next year 😋.

Good evening, Pika! I know that when I encounter a delicious sake, I can't help but say "umu~" 🤤. I have never seen this sake, but I would like to drink it someday 😋.

Good evening, ma-ki. I really want you to drink this sake 🤤💕I'm glad you can have a four-pack of this all to yourself 🤤 but everyone has their own taste preferences so sorry if it doesn't suit you (lol) 🙇.

(First sip comment) The flavor spreads as soon as you drink it. Delicious with just a hint of sourness. (Comment after the third sip) No, it is too delicious. It is really delicious. So good that I was worried my tongue was going crazy.

Purchased during a recent visit to a brewery in Suwa. Yellow-colored and mildly tinged sake Ginjo aroma with a hint of fruity sweetness Soft on the palate Impressive gentle sweetness with no sourness The low acidity and bitterness are easy to drink thanks to the slight carbonation accenting the taste buds. The delicious taste of rice and the brewed flavor pass through the nostrils to the finish. It is not a refreshing and crisp type, but rather a mildly sweet type. Is it similar to Takachiyo or Toyo Bijin? I guess. Very tasty! It's the kind of sake I like.

I will proceed to drink it before I get caught by the raw sake police. I see that it is the same specs as the Champion-SAKE. Beautiful sake as always, Team Touji Takeuchi, you are the best!

This is one of the bottles that I went on an expedition to purchase because it was delicious as a tax return gift from my hometown. I'll take it 🥂. The aroma is modest and elegant. On the palate, it has a perfect balance of mild sweetness and acidity with a slight gasiness, perfect for a mealtime drink💕. The overall impression was more mature than I had imagined, probably because it was chilled rather well 😄. Personally, I preferred Miyamanishiki✨. Mikotsuru, next time I would like to try a draft 👆😁😁.

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 🤣.

Good evening, Yasube 😃. Gokotsuru! I haven't had it for a while 🤔 and when I looked back the last time I had it was 2 years ago 😅I think Kochira is our kind of Miko-chan 😋.

Jay & Nobby, good evening 😀 Oh my... it's been a long time since we've had Goko-chan 🤣. The active nigori is delicious, but this Gokozuru is quite good too 😀. I think you two might like this Gokotsuru better than the other Gokuchans 😇.

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 😋.

I bought this on a trip to Nagano this summer. It was slightly sweet at first, and later felt like a hot throat. 1980 yen
