Good night for the Ikashihashi trip.
Multiple Shinshu natives.
Narai sake,
I told them
Oh, Narai-juku!
He replied with interest.
At a brewery at a high altitude,
It is a low-alcohol product brewed with hard water at a brewery at a high altitude.
It gives the impression of being carefully and carefully crafted.
I will enjoy it slowly with my wife!
I am also looking forward to Yamae Nishiki 😊.
It is similar to Nichinichi, supervised by Mr. Matsumoto. It looks like a clearer version of Nichinichi.
The price is high (5500 yen), but the bottle is cool and the website is stylish.
I purchased it from the website and received it two days later. It looks very easy to use if you want to take it to a home party, for example.
Thanks to her good luck, I got a fantastic sake narai: ‼️
Hey, Sake no Wa, the highest brewery in Japan, Suginomori Sake Brewery, is not on the list 😅.
Um~~ai ❗️
Firm fruity aroma, unctuous sweetness and acidity, slight shwashiness. Well balanced with little clutter, yet still with presence ✨.
Hope to come across it again 😆.
No complaints,

The taste is clean and refreshing, with a hint of woodiness.
The highest brewery in Japan, Suginomori Sake Brewery, which had been dormant, will be back in 2021. The taste is not cosy, as is common with overpriced sake. However, it is rare, so it can't be helped. There are many cheaper and better tasting sake. The specifications are purposely kept secret. When I drank it the day after opening the bottle, it tasted calm and easy to drink, and I felt like I was being told, "I'm doing this, but what? I felt as if I had been told.
[Overall evaluation] ★★★★☆
Brewed by Suginomori Sake Brewery, a revived brewery.
This brewery is not registered with Sake-no-Wawa....
Despite the chic jet-black bottle.
Fruity aroma, sweetness, and
The flavor of the rice is very strong.
The spoils of my summer trip to Nagano........
Suginomori Sake Brewery, it seems to be a sake brewery that was revived a few years ago and I didn't register it (^_^;)
I think I heard that the rice polishing ratio is 25%?
I think it's pretty close to Shinmasa's Ecru? I think it's pretty close to Shinmasa's Ecru or something like that - sourness and a bit of gasiness?
Super~ delicious~!
I just realized that this was my 100th bottle!
I'll buy another bottle as a reward one of these days...

This is the third installment of our Shinshu-Kiso road trip. The Suginomori Sake Brewery, located in Naraijuku, was once closed down, but they have taken over the name again and are making new sake. The aroma is probably of Kiso hinoki cypress. The aroma is sweet and then pungent. The overall flavor is thick and persistent, with a rich, mellow flavor for a 14% sake. However, 5,500 yen is a little expensive.
narai Sugi no Mori Sake Brewery Co.
Yama-no-mizu, the sake closest to the sky
Supervision by HIDEHIKO MATSUMOTO
Speaking of Mr. Matsumoto, I recently had a bottle of Nichinichi Yamadanishiki from Nichinichi Brewery in Kyoto, which had a perfect balance of refined sweetness and acidity.
This sake is 14 degrees Celsius while Nichinichi is 13 degrees.
The first sip brings out the freshness of the acidity. The sweetness is not so strong. From the second sip, the acidity disappears and the flavor of rice can be felt, but the taste is clear and sharp.
It is indeed delicious ^_^.
I want to drink it all the time. I probably won't get tired of it...
But as expected, I can't keep the money to buy narai ^_^.
This would be 6 stars! I have no complaints ^_^
The first sake from the Suginomori brewery, which was reopened as Suginomori brewery after closing 10 years ago.
The toji trained at Nabeshima, Sawaya Matsumoto, and other breweries.
The aroma is banana-like, slightly carbonated, fruity and beautiful.
The mouthfeel is full of gas and banana-like flavor, but the carbonation makes the taste quite light.
If we were to compare it to other sake, it would be a bit like Hwang Suisen, but the sweetness is relatively moderate and the minerality is strong, and the aftertaste is clean and watery.
Easy to drink, normal and tasty, a sake that we can expect to see more of in the future.
However, at the current price, it is a bit expensive.
I purchased it from the website because it is supervised by Mr. Hideto Matsumoto of Nichinichi Brewery.
It has a clear taste with a hint of sourness.
The taste is reminiscent of a melon, but the flavor is not strong and the sake is easy to drink. It is neither too sweet nor too dry, and can be enjoyed like water.
Some may feel it is not enough, but it is rich in minerals and tastes like nature, and it is delicious.
I would like to try other sakes made by Suginomori.

It's a gift.
The brewery, Suginomori Shuzo, is a so-called reborn brewery, and according to their website, they are located at the highest altitude in Japan.
It seems to be pure rice, but the details of the rice used, milling, etc. are not indicated, and it is low in alcohol. It is slightly fizzy, with fruit flavors such as orange, grapefruit, and apricot, and a banana aroma on the nose. I felt as if I was drinking a slightly expensive Sauvignon Blanc, but it was definitely sake. I feel that it is similar to the style of Fat Ei Fat (a high-end line).
The most impressive thing was the water. It has a very soft and round quality that I have never felt before. After that, the umami (flavor) comes in slowly.
And the wooden vat? I felt the nuance of wood. It's not old wood, but the feel of living wood. I've never drunk it before, so I don't know what it is, but it seems to have sap in it. An image of a forest.
After a few days, it has a honey-like sweetness and a sharpness. The sake taste also improved. It also reminds me of Fat Kiku.
I felt it had the potential to be a star.
Hello, Jurian!
After the birthplace, another new
The emergence of modern sake😌.
The other day someone else posted about it.
I'm curious 💓
Looks like it's worth the 5500 yen 😆.
Hi tkmts, good evening.
I was fortunate enough to receive it, but 5,500 yen is quite a hurdle. This is the price for the first release. I think they put a lot of effort and care into making it.
Newly added stocks* at Imadeya
I actually spotted it when I was crowdfunding last year and bought it. I heard that Mr. Hidehiko Matsumoto is also supervising it.
The main features of this sake are
1) All produced in Nagano
1) All the sake is made in Nagano 2) The toji (brewer) does the whole process by himself in micro tanks
The three returned bottles are Kinmon Nishiki, Sanke Nishiki, and Miyamanishiki.
The bottle has a beautiful design of mountains reminiscent of the Kiso Mountains in Nagano.
The bottle has a beautiful design of mountains reminiscent of the Kiso Mountains in Nagano.
The texture is slightly thick and slightly foamy.
Clear and dry! Less sweet, more aromatic, and the bitterness is sharp and holds the taste together.
Short aftertaste.
c Pale aromas of muscat, plum and ink.
Texture is almost the same.
Sweeter than a, less bitter, a little sour.
Clear and fragrant.
e Pale pear and apricot aroma, but pear-like aroma prevails
Texture is almost the same
This pattern has a good balance of sourness, sweetness, and bitterness, a good level of acidity, and a high level of aroma.
Personally, I prefer e > c > a in that order.
In the end, I wonder which is the commercial product this time.
I couldn't find the name of the brewery.
Brand: narai
Sake brewery name: suginomori brewery
There is a questionnaire on the QR code on the crown, and the ones with the best ratings will be made into commercial products.
Good evening, Miki-san.
In the past, Kagiya did the same thing 🙌 at that time, they compared about 8 kinds of drinks and sold the 2 best rated ones 😆 In the end, I don't know what they sold 🤣 It's fun like this
a.s_sake! When I was drinking it, I wondered if "e" was Miyamanishiki* I've never tasted Kinmon Nishiki, so it didn't ring a bell, but to be honest, I'm itching for an answer*.
Good evening, Miki. ♪
It looks like a California wine.
I'd like to try it, but it costs 5,500 yen.
I'd love to try it but it's 5500 yen💦
I'd like to drink it but it's 5500 yen 💦 if I work hard enough 🤣
