It has a soft mouthfeel. After the sweetness is felt, the bitterness soon follows. This sake is a perfect match for springtime foods characterized by bitterness, and is easy to pair with food.
Bottom of the bottle.
Not much aroma.
When you take a sip, gulp, nectar and smooth syrup.
White flowers and a little spicy aroma like yomeishu.
The umami spreads slowly,
The final taste is tightened by a light sourness and bitterness.
It has a rich umami taste.
It goes well with sweet soy sauce and yuzu peel.

First cup of Banikuman🐴 near Nagano station.
Dark. Gorgeous✨ Fruity. Sweet umami. Tempered by the sourness of the eggplant plum 🍆. Darker flavor, goes well with the momo horse meat. Shaobi (marbled middle part), first time for me to eat it 😆Great with a little sweet soy sauce 👍.
Nagano is Banikuman @ Nagano 20240905
Thanks for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😊The name of the restaurant is "Speaking of Nagano", but I'm not sure if people in Nagano think so too 😅, but I was able to pair various parts of the horse meat with Nagano sake and it was delicious ✨.
The second glass was also from Nagano, Maki.
It seems to be from the same brewery as Kawanakajima and Kawanakajima Genmai, but I didn't expect to have this one first😅.
This one is fruity and tastes like lactic acid.
It was delicious!
Do they often have Nagano sake in other places?
It seems like every time I come here I drink Nagano sake 🤔 lol
Encountered before Kawanakajima and Kawanakajima Genmai.
Comfortable fruity and gentle
sweetness and deliciousness!

Sweet and tasty fresh sake! 🍶
The bottle was opened with a strong gassy feeling!
The top aroma is a gorgeous sweet ginjo aroma.
It is sweet and delicious in the mouth.
The aroma is also gorgeous🌹.
There is almost no acidity, but the sake is clear and crisp with no sweetness.
It is sweet and easy to drink, so the sake goes down well.
Even if it loses its gasiness, it is still sweet and tasty and has a sharp taste👍.

Recently, I have not seen Kawanakajima Genmai at Koyama Shoten, so I bought it and it was a great decision. 🙆♂️
We stumbled upon it at a tavern.
Although I had never tasted this sake before, I was impressed from the first sip.
It has a fruity, easy-drinking Junmai Daiginjo taste that is on par with the HIROKI and SHINMASA class.
According to the owner of the izakaya, this sake is made by a brewery in Kawanakajima, and only two breweries distribute it, so the availability is limited.
A search of mail order sites failed to turn up any.
A nice encounter.

The three brothers Maki, the ones I always buy when I come across them.
It's as good as the Gensenmai!
I want to age it more😋.

The three brothers Maki, the ones I always buy when I come across them.
I don't know if it's a new sake or one that's been sitting in the brewery.
The store said they didn't know if it was a new sake or one that had been sitting in the brewery 😋.
I had a glass of it cold because of the lingering summer heat ✨It was a delicious sake with a very good balance of fruity aroma and sweet and sour bitterness. ❤️
It's easy to drink, so it will help you recover from the fatigue of a hot day and you'll end up drinking too much 😋.

It was hard to find a good time to buy it.
I was finally able to purchase a bottle of my favorite Yamada's Tokujun!
It was a great sake with excellent specs and good value for money 😋.
Wow, I didn't know Mariko-sama also made this kind of sake - it was a complete first for me!
Good morning, Hiroshi-san!
I've never seen this kind of sake before!
Satisfaction ★★★★⭐︎
Little aroma upon opening the bottle.
It has a moderate aroma, strong sweetness, low acidity, some bitterness and miscellaneous flavors, and a slight sawdust smell.
The bitterness is more noticeable when used as a food sake, but it may be good with a meal with a strong flavor.
Although it has some bitterness, it has a lot of umami, so you will never get tired of drinking it.
The bitterness seems to be an accent.
I can recommend it to those who have always loved sake, but I am not sure if it would be good for sake beginners.
I have yet to encounter Kawanakajima Genmai, so I would like to try it next time.
