I bought it for warming sake, so I will serve it warm. But first, we will drink it at room temperature. I didn't notice much of an upfront aroma. When you drink it, it is light and a little dry with a pleasant bitterness. It has a clean and light image. I didn't feel much of the lingering aroma. Next, it was served lukewarm. When warmed, it became tangy and slightly sweeter. It was good with food. It had a slightly bitter taste, so we raised the temperature to hot. The bitterness disappeared and it became easier to drink. I would like to warm it up in the cold winter. It went well with simmered chicken. I think it tastes better warmed up. It is also good in terms of cost performance. Purchased by the bottle.

Hi, Ryuji #2 😃.
It's snowing in Utsunomiya today ☃️ It's good to have a good heated sake for such a cold day 🥶🤗You can try different temperatures and a bottle is safe 😚.
Hello, Jay & Nobby!
It has been snowing day after day. Nagano is also cold and I miss warm dishes and hot sake for meals. ☺️ It is interesting to discover and enjoy different temperatures! I hope you have a safe trip on the snowy roads!
Almost colorless and transparent. Fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe bananas. The aroma is strong. Refreshing mouthfeel with a slight effervescence. The nose has hints of peaches. The aftertaste is slightly astringent and bitter from the alcohol. The aftertaste is sharp and short. Aromatic sake.
It's a muddy sake with a tangy, bubbly, fizzy taste, and it's unpasteurized.
I checked and found that Miyamanishiki, the prefecture's representative sake rice grown under contract with a farmer in Matsumoto City, was polished to a 60% rice polishing ratio.
It is full of Miyamanishiki's characteristic light flavor and smooth, sweet taste, and while it is delicious on its own, it is also very satisfying when served with delicious food.
Today we have a pre-dawn Junmai Ginjo Nama Ippon Nama Sake❗️❗️
The aroma is fresh, fruity, and sweet❗️As you sip, there is a dense texture and a raw tingling sensation on the tongue❗️And then a wonderful fruity sweet aroma passes through the nose❗️❗️As you would expect from a pre-dawn draft of one of the best sake❗️Great sake❤️
Happy opening today of the bottle I had prepared for New Year🎍 (for various reasons).
Fresh! This is green apple 🍏. And tangy. The expression "one that drinks too much" fits perfectly. It is a perfect Friday night drink.
First "Before Dawn"㊗️ great name👏and delicious‼️ fruity rich aroma, apple-like maybe🍎.
And speaking of aroma‼️ husband bought me some charcoal-grilled chicken from Miyazaki as a souvenir from his business trip (great job 👍🥹) 🥰.
Charcoal and fruity aroma, why do they go so well together 🩷?
As the bittersweetness of the charcoal fire exits your nostrils, the flavor and saltiness of the jidori chicken comes to you. There, a hint of sourness, bitterness, and umami follow behind the fruity sweetness of "Before Dawn". The harmony of the five tastes connected by the aroma 👏The taste and aroma both support the deliciousness 😍.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho.
Congratulations on your first pre-dawn 🎉.
I'm curious about this drink too✨
And this pairing review looks brain-buggingly delicious 🤤.
I would love to drink this sake someday😊.
Good morning, Pekho 😃.
Nagano sake and Miyazaki chicken! I like the idea of feeling the five tastes born from this encounter with all five senses 🤗If you went to a difficult prefecture, does it come with a souvenir of Miyazaki sake? 😄
Good evening, ma-ki-, ❣️ I wish I had come across it earlier - it was delicious and I regret it. I was lucky to come across it in the new brewery ‼️ I heard you can order the charcoal grill, so I'll be repeating it in my house 💪😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. ❣️ I was hoping for a business trip to a difficult prefecture, but it seemed to be a month early for the new sake festival, and the liquor stores were overwhelmed by all the shochu they had to sell 🤣 You could make another trip next month 🧐‼️
Overall 9 (out of 10)
This is my first time drinking this 😃.
I like the name "Before Dawn" 👍.
I read on the website that the taste is "aromatic and sweet".
It tastes like "fragrant sweet" according to the website.
It is delicious 😋.
It is indeed aromatic and sweet 👍
But there is a slight spiciness and astringency in the aftertaste, so it's not just sweet, it's tight and tasty 😋.
I served it chilled.

Good evening, shinsaku3.
Last year I came across a lot of sake from Nagano, and this is one that I'm interested in too ✨.
I'd like to try it someday 😊.
Good morning, shinsaku3 😃.
We had a dry Dawn's Eve outside on our Nagano sake trip the year before last 😋 I think we should meet again at home for a drink 🤗.
Good morning, ma-ki 😃.
All the sakes from Nagano suit me and are delicious 😋.
I'm looking forward to try more sakes from breweries I haven't had yet, and different brands from breweries I've had once 😃.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
Nagano sake is right up my alley and all the sake is delicious 😋, so we're thinking of going on another Nagano sake brewery tour 🚗 this year 🍶.
We hope to see you again before dawn 😃.
