Slightly effervescent, with the taste of rice yeast sinking in with a zing. It is refreshing, yet full of flavor. It is light and goes well with food. Excellent!
The last Yamaoka family meal in 2024 🍜.
I went to Yamaoka-ya!
Special miso, green onion, chashu pork, korocha
Gyoza and beer 🍺!
It's a party for one 🤣.
Over 2,000 yen...maybe a little too much 🤣.
Well, it's ok because it's delicious 🤣.
I should have had a consecutive holiday from yesterday, but I haven't finished my work yet, so even if I finish eating, I still can't finish my work yet 🙄.
Who gave me this miko... 🤣
Is the aroma lemon sour? Muscat? Somewhat sour type aroma. Maybe it smells like Senkou beetles?
The light, light, and refreshing mouthfeel is followed by an apple-like sweetness and umami, and then a citrus-like bitterness and sourness.
It is a sweet, slightly refreshing water.
Personally, I would prefer it to be a little less sweet 🍶 but it's still delicious. ❗️
Hi Manachy, I'm sorry to hear about this. I'm not sure what to say 🙂.
I knew it! Special miso and chashu pork!
Double is crazy. 😂
Gyoza, are they burnt? 😁.
Good evening, Manachie-san!
Banquet at the Yamaoka family 🍺 You have to invite me 😫.
but it's tough to drink around here because it's the only place you can go without a car💦.
Manachie-san Good evening😄Mikotsuru is delicious😊It is a typical Nagano sake! Sure it's a little sweet... And a banquet at the Yamaoka family is wonderful 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie!
I thought it was "New Year's Eve at Yamaoka Restaurant" 🍜.
I sometimes do it myself, but it's fun to drink at a ramen shop 🥰.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃I'll be working at my parents' house for New Year's and I'm sure I'll have my PC with me🤣.
Jay & Nobby, let's go to Yamaoka Restaurant too🤣The restaurant in Utsunomiya is back 🤣❗️
Hi kino.😃Here is the Jonan branch in Mito! It's close to the station at 1 km. ❗️ Ushiku store is also about 1 km from the station, so you can walk with room to spare 🥳Let's have a Yamaokaya banquet in Ibaraki 🥳I guess if we do it, it will be at Jonan store which has table seating...
Hi Sashiu-san 😃It's been a while since I had a drink, but Miko-chan is still sweet. ❗️ Sashiu-san, would you like to have a party at the Yamaoka family 🤣⁉️
Hi Jive 😃Yamaoka family over New Year's Eve is too crazy as a rock 🤣I'm sure there are people who do it on YouTube or Instagram 🤣I can't live that much for a story 🤣.
It is said to be a good combination of the freshness of nama-shu and the smoothness of hi-ire. Indeed, the characteristics can be seen.
The flavor is like that of nama-shu. It has an apple aroma and freshness. The mildness and moderate bitterness of the corners are of high quality.
Simply delicious!
Sake and Oyster Restaurant in Noge
Morotsuyoshi. This week, they had a bottle of Mikotsuru Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu in stock, so I ordered it. The first saké has a light, refreshing taste. The sweetness of the water can be felt from the first taste!
I went to Nagano, but happy to have Nagano sake at home
Luxury looking label design
It's 2024BY and the shipping date is 2025/11. It's not an ice cave, but it was stored and aged at -5 degrees Celsius.
I thought it was lightly cloudy, but I forgot to mix it.
I forgot to mix it. It's pretty muddy when I mix it.
It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, bitterness, and acidity. It has a nice balance of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity, with a mild carbonation and umami flavor.
I want to drink another bottle!
I like this one better than the one I bought at the Mikotsuru brewery!
The electronic receipt for the sake bought at the brewery is for Ban-ei Transport Company, so don't get confused!
(Well, it also says "brewery" on the back...)
"Mikotsuru" has a classic image, but this one is surprisingly fruity and modern.
It has the distinct acidity and crisp finish you only get from Muroka Nama Genshu.
I absolutely love new brew!
I've been working late and drinking late, but I'm going to enjoy the afterglow of the previous weekend with a bottle of Gokotsuru unfiltered unpasteurized sake from the barrel 🍶🎵.
We are so happy to have this beautiful sake at KEG 😊.
#Team Touji Takeuchi is the best!
Mikotsuru Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki
Rating 4.5
100% Yamadanishiki rice from Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, 35% polished rice, 16% alcohol by volume.
A sparkling sake that radiates the style of Mikotsuru's finest sake. It is clear and silky smooth on the tongue. A fresh and fruity brand with a gaseous feel from the bottle heating process. It has a full sweetness and aroma of ripe melon and pear.
Tuesday night...
Sake of the season hasn't appeared yet, so I'm holding out for a fire 😩.
Mikotsuru's "Kinmon Nishiki" 🍶.
It has a more mature aroma and taste, unlike the raw sake 🤣.
It's definitely delicious, but
But when you know the taste of the nama sake, you may find it a little lacking 💦.
I can't wait to try it 🎤.
I just want to say 🤣
I can't wait 😍.
