I'm a little tired. I feel like I'm done cleaning up, but I'm not...so tonight I'll have this one. Aromatic, slightly sweet, and refreshing. I like it.
Yoakemae Junmai Ginjo Nama Ippon
Ono Sake Brewery (Tatsuno-cho, Kamiina-gun, Nagano)
Ice-aged before dawn, which I learned last year at a tavern.
Opening a bottle of raw sake that I bought almost a year ago and grew in the fridge.
Slightly cloudy
Green apple aroma
Rich sweetness of ripe fruit
Solid in body.
Still sharp even after a year.
Turn your back on the Christmas mood.
A quick bite with ginkgo nuts!
What a sinful taste! Oh...
Let's do it again next year!
Yoakemae Junmai Ginjo Namaichibon Namaishu
Rated 4.4-4.5
Rice produced: Yamadanishiki special quality rice from the Shimo Tojo district of Hyogo Prefecture, Polishing ratio 55%, Alcohol 15%.
The most popular sake in front of dawn. It is fresh and unpasteurized. The sweet apple aroma and elegant ginjo aroma spread roundly on the palate. It has a moderate acidity, a gentle flavor of rice, and a refreshing sharpness.

I thought for a moment that this was just another year, but time has provided us with another wonderful pre-dawn brew!
It starts off softly, with a seamless, umami, nourishing, and pungent taste that leaves its mark. Well-balanced, this is what sake is all about. It goes exceptionally well with oden!
Welcome back!

First time drinking before dawn🌄.
This is so delicious!
1,540 yen for Yamae Nishiki & Ginjo-Polished, a super deal 🤣.
I thought it would be sweet because of Yamae Nishiki, but it was surprisingly dry,
It's surprisingly dry. It's refreshing and crisp ✨.
Shinshu sake is great after all 🍶.
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.

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.
