The supernatant has a green apple aroma. Foaming. Sweetness and bitterness. And when I was drinking the supernatant, I was surprised to see bubbles spilling out of the bottle at different times. When I mixed the cloudiness, the yogurt feeling was added and the green apple feeling was clean and refreshing. It's delicious this year, with a tongue-tightening sensation.
Purchased at a sake brewery.
Speaking of the season of changing tires, it's the muddy raw sake before dawn. I buy it every year. This is the fourth time I've posted about it.
Please be safe as it is the season of many slip accidents from now on.
Before Dawn Kinuka

Rice: Yamadanishiki premium rice from the Shimo Tojo district of Hyogo Prefecture, 60% polished rice, 15% alcohol by volume.
Junmai-shu made from 100% of the best sake rice, Yamadanishiki Tokutei Rice. It goes well with food. Junmai-shu made from 100% Yamadanishiki Tokutei rice produced in Shimo Tojo, Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture, which is called the best sake rice. It has a good citrus aroma and is clean, clean, and dry. This sake is rich in α-EG, a flavor component of sake.

First BBQ in a year, first before dawn. The weather was perfect.
The aroma is fresh and fruity, like apples, and the mouthfeel is clean and fresh.
It has a fresh umami, mellow and delicate richness, and a clear and well-balanced aftertaste.
Sake from Shinshu is delicious.
Today we are drinking out. I've been regretting forgetting to take pictures when I go out for drinks lately.
The master tempted me with a bottle of Nigori (nigori) sake from the predawn brewery, so let's have some... I really love predawn sake😍.
Now it's time to open the mouth!
I am a person who mixes well from the beginning.
The opening of the bottle with a nice sound!
Mouthfeel, it comes in quite sweet. It is mellow, unlike the usual pre-dawn. It is full of rice flavor. However, the next moment, it is crisp and clean. This is like...a good type of nigori has appeared. Delicious 😋.
The strong 18% alcohol content is a nice accent and well balanced.
I want to add this to Jikin's nigori, Senkou's Yukidaruma, Hirotogawa's nigori, and make a quartet: ❗️
Good evening, Kosuke 😃.
It's easy to forget about outside drinking photos if you're not properly aware of them 😅 I'd love to see them there! I would like to add snow clouds of Izumo Fuji to the lineup: ‼️

100% Yamahye Nishiki
The wine is clean, full-flavored, dense, and reminiscent of a clear river.
It is sure to open up and become richer in flavor in the future.

Alcohol level: 16; Sake meter: +2; Acidity: 1.3; Rice: Yamadanishiki; Rice polishing ratio: 55
Compared to the first bottles, it has a calmer, softer, and lighter taste. It has a slightly floral aroma (light melon-like aroma) derived from Yamadanishiki, and a subtle, gentle sweetness and umami. It also has a slightly mineral-like complex taste, but it is also an enjoyable autumn food sake, and may be served warmed.
I will have my favorite pre-dawn hiyaoroshi: ❗️
It has a rich rice flavor and a mild sweet aroma like fruit, but with a refreshing watery taste that I love. This will go well with all kinds of autumn foods. ❤️
I still love pre-dawn 😍.
When I was in college, I was a sake connoisseur and went to a sake shop in a prestigious sake club...
I remember visiting a sake shop on the outskirts of Takasaki when I heard that there was a delicious sake called "Yoakemae" that could be purchased at a liquor store in the suburbs of Takasaki.
At the time I had the impression that it was a modern sake, but now I remember that it tasted exactly like a sake from Shinshu 🤔.
It's been a while since I've had it, but I remembered that and popped it in 👇.
On the first day, the aroma of ripe green apples and a hint of grapes ❔.
As the temperature rises, the aroma of rice also softly comes through 🍚.
The taste is round and round in the mouth, and then it quickly breaks off, followed by a slight bitterness, and finally a rather strong astringency. ⚡️ Overall, it is refreshing, just like a sake from Shinshu 😌.
On the second day, the sweetness increases and it shows its full potential. ⤴️
The unfamiliar flavors that bothered me a little on the first day have receded 👍.
