Gunma Sake (1) 🍶 This local sake was recommended to me at an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) I wandered into! It has a clean base, but has a strong aroma and is very drinkable! Delicious!
It is a delicious sake with a refreshing taste with a soft sweetness and a delicious rice flavor 🍶It was reasonably priced at 1,265 yen (tax included) 💮.
This is my first brand. Not much aroma. The taste is gorgeous and fruity. There was a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, but the bitterness was reduced when it was cooled down to a crisp.

Tanigawadake T4 Nama Sake
- 1.7 1.2 K1801
16° 25/4 A+
Kawaba-mura, Gunma Nagai Shuzo
720 1750
This is a junmai nama-shu, though no details are given.
Just before drinking, I noticed the Floral Blue label...
But the aroma is not so strong and does not interfere with the taste.
It is good for casual drinking.
I found out later that the yeast is 1801, which I had been a little reluctant to use, but it seems to be just right.

Sake degree +8
What kind of super-hot sake is this? But it has a moderate sweetness. It is very easy to drink.
Personally, I think it's a "Bikuyo" or "Kodokidoue" type of sake.
I love looking at local sake at souvenir shops 😏.
Send your luggage home from hiking with 📦.
I ended up buying two bottles of skunk cabbage even though my luggage was lighter 🎒, so I ended up going home with heavier luggage 🚅 lol
I bought this bottle at "Gunma Iroha" at Takasaki station in July. It's a summer sake, but I didn't have a chance to open it, and I was in a hurry because it was autumn. Last night I managed to bring it to a summery event, the Tama River Fireworks Festival ❗️, and opened the bottle 😆.
It spilled a little, but when I drank it, it was mildly effervescent. It has a silky touch and a light fruity feeling, somewhere between melon and apple. Not too sweet, not too heavy, easy to drink.
Since Tanigawadake, which I drank last time, was of a type that goes well with Japanese food, I expected a more sake-like taste, but this one goes well with both Japanese and Western food. It is also OK with potato chips and nuts.
It was delicious, but I think it would be better to drink it on a hotter day to get a more refreshing taste. ⁉️ Summer sake should be drunk in summer (a little reminder).
