Although it has a fresh and brilliant ginjo aroma, it has a fullness in the aftertaste and stretches out in a soft and sweet way.
Saku City and Ueda Sake Brewery Event Last
The last one was Kutsunokake Shuzo's Fukumugari Yamae Nishiki light nigori (^o^), which I had originally planned to visit in the afternoon. When I drank it, the aroma was faint and the sweetness not so much. The aftertaste is firm with umami and acidity coming through.
The brewer told me how difficult it is to make sake with Yamae-Nishiki. The farmers have a hard time growing the rice because it has just been produced, and the brewery also has a hard time because the quality of the rice varies. The taste is so delicious that it does not make you feel that way. I bow my head when I hear about such hardships.
I was really happy because I had never had a chance to actually talk to the brewery staff like this. It was worth being the first one to arrive at the brewery. (Laughs) Since there were not many people there, I was recommended to come back a second week, and I took their word for it.
The characteristics of Saku City and Ueda City's sakes are the apple aroma, which seems to be caproic acid. And I thought all the sakes were well-balanced with a moderate level of acidity. And all of them are really delicious and of a high level. It is not only Kamerei (laugh), but also because I was able to drink a variety of sakes at one time.
Now that I have had my fill of sake, I want to move on to soba noodles 😄.
A gift from a colleague from Ueda City.
One sip, and first of all, it is beautiful!
Elegant aroma and mellow, not too sweet. A taste for adults? It tastes like an adult.
I bought it straight from the name-brand store, and it's absolutely delicious!
This sake is perfect for the spring season as the weather is getting a little warmer.
It is a little sweet, but has both a slightly sweet sake flavor and a soft rice flavor.
This is a sake to be enjoyed at hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties.
It is an easy-to-drink sake that everyone can enjoy, including women and those who are not familiar with sake.
Fukumushimasu Ginjo-Nama Sake made with Ueda City sake rice by Kutsukake Shuzo in Ueda City.
Sweet and full-flavored, very tasty ☺️.
Nagano has a lot of good sake too, really.
It goes well with today's snacks, Engawa, horse mackerel, and musubi.
It is rich but not guttural, so it was a refined taste for me who likes guts.
It was delicious!
My first encounter with alcohol.
It is drinking in the hiya.
The aroma is mild, but when you put it in your mouth, it tastes like a lychee and has an alcoholic taste.
Oh⁉️I thought I tasted something like bourbon for a moment🌽
The aftertaste is also alcoholic and disappears quickly✨.
When the temperature settles down, the flavor and bourbon taste will increase 🌽
It's a great way to get a taste of what it's like to be in the middle of the action.
It's a drink that I'm sure I'll be addicted to 👑✨.
Fuku Muryu Special Junmai Sake
59%, 15 degrees, 720ml, about 1,400 yen
I can't remember where I bought it, but I think it was a proper place. It's a sake brewery in Nagano.
The first sip of the bottle.
The first sip. I see.
It starts with a light citrusy taste, and the sharp acidity is pleasant.
The acidity is sharp and pleasant. The aftertaste is refreshing. The finish is moderately dry.
I think I like this one.
According to the label, the acidity is 1.8, but it is amazing that the acidity does not play a leading role, but rather supports the quality of the sake.
The taste is not flashy, but you can taste the delicacy without your tongue being confused. Miyamanishiki is used. I couldn't find the yeast.
The origin of the name is "May there be endless good fortune for everyone who drinks it.
I found a good sake. It's a 4☆, close to a 5☆!

Purchased at the brewery during a trip to Nagano.
The ginjo aroma is amazing!
It's so smooth. It has a creamy milkiness to it. It goes down your throat without any sticking, and it feels like a good boy ^^.
I love this stuff!
