It is sweet and juicy, but somewhat light, probably because it is an active sake!
If I wanted, I would have liked a little more gasiness, but it's umamama enough!

The aroma is modest, but the main flavor is a fresh green apple ginjo aroma, which is hard to believe for a wine of this sharpness.
The attack is fruitful with the influence of the aroma and sharp acidity, but it quickly switches to dry mode with its ultra-dry design.
Overall, it has a dry mouthfeel that is more subdued than floral, and goes well with simple Japanese dishes such as soba noodles, grilled fish, and wild vegetable tempura.

Green apple? There is a fresh ginjo aroma like green apple, and a calm and subdued rice aroma typical of Yamae-Nishiki.
In the mouth, there is a slight bubbling sensation and it feels fresh. Fresh fruitiness (green apple?) and juicy sweetness. In the second half, the acidity breaks off nicely and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
Yes, this is good!
The palate has a gentle sweetness.
After that, there is a piquancy like that of unfiltered raw sake, and just the right amount of bitterness.
Delicious.
Tonight's sake is "Gokotsuru's" recent favorite, "Gohyakumangoku".
Starting with the fruity type, it finally moved to the dry type!
I'll have some right away.
The aroma is refreshing and mature, but because it is dry, you can imagine the spiciness of ⁉️ 😋.
One sip 🍶.
It's ❗️ dry and refreshing!
I guess it's dry...
I'd say it's more like "refreshing"...
It's delicious, but I think Gokotsuru's fruity style is more to my liking 😍.
I drank it at an izakaya and enjoyed it so much that I bought some myself!
I've been drinking a lot of Nagano sake lately.
It is rich but has a clean aftertaste!
It's very satisfying, but you don't get tired of drinking it, as you would expect.

On the second day at the inn in Saku, we opened the bottle of Miko-chan Activated Nigori.
Outside on the terrace, looking at the stars 🌟.
I opened and closed it about 5 times, so it's a fairly healthy one.
I finally found it this season 😘.
There were 3 of us so it was about 2 glasses per person 😋.
I also bought a bottle of Yamazan sparkling, but I didn't open it and took it home... â
Good evening, Harry 🌆.
It was after the Bon vacations, so it seemed like they had sold quite a few, but there were a few bottles left 😉 I was able to take some home.
It was delicious 😋.
I've been there.
I didn't raise my drink in May 😓.
I was looking at the pictures and remembered 😭😭😭
So I'm going to raise it ✨
First up, Gokozuru from ☝️
I vaguely remember it being a clear, dry sake 😄.
It's like a food sake 😊.
This year, too, I made a tour of sake breweries in Nagano Prefecture during the Obon holidays. I bought Gokotsuru last year and enjoyed it so much that I bought it again this year. We immediately drank it at the hotel where we stayed. This Gokozuru is also easy to drink and tastes great. 858 yen
The full-bodied sweetness is impressive, but the gasiness and the bitterness in the latter half of the flavor make it not dull.
It is firmly sweet, so it might be better to enjoy it on its own.
I would like to try other specs as well, as I personally prefer it.
