I sometimes have trouble reading it 🙁.
I often come across place names that "only locals" can read, especially in my line of work!
I got it as a souvenir!
It's my first one!
This is not "nagato" but "choumon" strait 🙂.

Slightly firm.
Just a little, but citrusy aroma
Refreshing and very sharp.
Suitable for a mealtime drink
Thank you for the drink 🎶.
A bonus photo
A photo taken when we went to Toba Aquarium in May because my eldest daughter suddenly said she wanted to see sea otters🦦!
It was just feeding time!
Shells are properly returned to the keeper 😄.
Continuation of firsts. Nagato Gorge. It seems to be limited to liquor stores.
It has a juicy taste and a good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is delicious without any sticking point!
The sweetness seems to have settled down in the second half, and we enjoyed it to the end without getting tired of drinking!
Thank you very much for the drink!
Hello, tsutsukitate-san!
I drank Nagato Gorge from different liquor stores 🤗I see that the labels are slightly different depending on the liquor store.
It was my first time too and it was delicious 😋I guess I'll have to go to Yamaguchi to buy it...?
Hello sake-loving land surveyor😄 Really! Different sake shop, isn't it? Glad to share the goodness 😊.
Now you can get it without shipping if it's in stock with the Yamaguchi prefecture ec free campaign👍.

I had never had Nagato Kyo before, and the label was gorgeous, so I tasted it.
◉Nagato Kyo Junmai Daiginjo 50
It was the most mellow, full-bodied, sweet-tasting Yamaguchi sake I've ever tasted, and since I like it dark, I quite liked it.
The owner of the sake store that Mr. Bouken patronizes asked me how long I had been at the Yamaguchi booth, and we all came to our senses and moved to our booths in a hurry to allocate our time.
Before I went to the booth, I tasted the last of the sake I had forgotten to drink.

I have bought a bottle of Nagato Kyo itself at a department store, but I was attracted by the golden label😅.
Polishing ratio 50%, Hagi Yamadanishiki 15 degrees, Sake degree -1.0, Acidity 1.6

Strong taste. It has a full-bodied taste. The best in Yamaguchi except for Kinjaku.
Here comes Mr. Ikoma again!
He asked me how long I was in Yamaguchi, so I moved to the Ibaraki booth 😁.
Good evening, bouken😄.
I am excited to see all the brands I have never seen before 🤩Yamaguchi also has many sake 🍶 that I have never heard of. It's so great that I think I'm drinking from the edge because of all the drinking that only the event can offer 👏.
Good evening, Hiro-san.
We prioritized the prefectures with many brands that we didn't know 😅.
I basically didn't go through the brands I've had in the past, but I drank them in order from one end to the other 😆.
So, this is the sake for tonight.
Ah, it is a delicious sake with a mild flavor.
I want to be a sake drinker who smilingly enjoys this sake while saying it is delicious and tasty, rather than complaining that it is not good enough.
Sweetness is gentle.
Sweet humminess with a refreshing sourness peeking through later.
Not much bitterness.
I'd say bitterness, or astringency, at the end.

Sourness and sweetness coexist.
Refreshing aroma
Sweet, umami, and acidity are floral.
But there is also bitterness and spiciness.
Sake is made from rice, I feel.
