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,

Polishing ratio: 50 Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki Alcohol content: 16%. It has a strong aroma, and the first sip gave the impression of being a little sweet, with a strong umami flavor, making it a refined gem. I paired it with sashimi and had a very elegant time.

It does have a sweet banana-like aroma, though, However, when you put it in your mouth, you do not feel much sweetness. It has a moderate acidity and umami followed by a slightly strong bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste is long. 3.5/5

The last one is Gokotsuru with a classical label. As the label says, it is a dry, classical drinking, thesake, but the aroma is like a gorgeous honeyed apple, and the aroma and taste do not match😬. I like dry sake but did not like it much. ★☆☆☆☆

The first day it was a little tough; the third day or so it was juicier and tastier.

This is the first Mikotsuru I have had, a sake brewed with Yamae Nishiki. The aroma is slightly citrusy, and the taste is sweet but not cloying, and the bitterness is controlled, leaving a long, refreshing sweet aftertaste. The label is more classical, but the taste is very elegant and refined 😋.

Yamae Nishiki in Nagano, numb, Nice.... Hana-yokuyo in the modern style, Toichi, Kamokin, which is good even though it's old-fashioned. Hard to buy, but you're drinking good stuff 😋.

Thank you for your comment, KomeChidori. I have been curious about Gokotsuru for a while, and it was as good as I expected. I'm having trouble with the number of brands I like these days.

Nagano sake again ③. This time Gokotsuru ❣️ Excited before opening the bottle! Almost no aroma! When you put it in your mouth, it has a very straight umami taste! Then, it has a slight acidity and a sharp taste. There is a hint of bitterness, but it is only sometimes mixed with the acidity and is almost nonexistent. Oh my goodness 😆😆😆. Gokotsuru 😆😆😆. I should buy another bottle: .... By the way, the third one, Shinshu soba (buckwheat noodles), had a great aroma and firmness, and the white shrimp (Toyama) kakiage (deep-fried shrimp) was also 👍❗️ Oh, and the view was beautiful too 😊.

Hello, shinkun 😃 It was a long time ago 😅when I lived in Nagano, I was taught how to eat Shinshu soba 😌. Put the wasabi directly on the soba! Put the green onions in the soba water after you're done eating! It was annoying 🥲 but I still follow it 🤗.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Seriously? As you can see, we are not able to do anything at first glance 😅The green onions are sobayu which is amazing ❗️ I'll try it next time ❗️

Mikotsuru Oragara Nama Sake Miko-chan's signature sake. Fruity and well-balanced, without a doubt! The label is colorful and evokes the image of Lake Suwa. It is a perfect image of Lake Suwa.
