Today we visited Shiwa Sake Brewery, which also ships another brand of Shiwa Sake 😃The brewery owner told us about the different ways of making each type of sake and we even got to taste it at the end of the tour 😋.
I bought this limited edition sake from the brewery 🍶.
Let's get started. The aroma is of koji and some alcohol, with a hint of rice sweetness.
When you put it in your mouth, you first taste the koji flavor, then freshness and a hint of sweetness, along with sourness and umami that spreads in your mouth. It has a clear taste that only freshly squeezed sake can have.
I also visited the nearby Shiwa Shrine ⛩️, where the sacred tree is said to be about 1,200 years old. The grandeur of the shrine combined with the snowy scenery ❄️ was breathtaking 😳Good trip 🚌👍
Rice】100% Ginotome from Iwate Prefecture

Hi Komachan 😃
A sake brewery tour in the snowy landscape ☃️! Looks cold 🥶 but it was nice to get some limited sake🍶 and do some sightseeing 🤗Bus trip 🚌?
It was given to me by a junior colleague at work.
Thanks 😊
Hiroki" was created with the aim of making "sake that will be appreciated by a wide range of people.
It is a locally famous sake made with a new and old brewing method called "sanki amazake moto" that focuses on the "delicious taste of rice.
It has a sake degree of ➕5, but it tastes crisp and light.
We decided to put the Akanezasu Nouveau to rest and opened a bottle of Hiroki's Akitagio-san, an autumn-only junmai ginjo from Shiwa Shuzo, a well-known Shiwa sake brewery in Shiwa.
It has a gentle aroma and a soft mouthfeel. It has a soft mouthfeel, but it also has a crisp and clean taste, which gives a sharp impression as you finish it. The well-balanced taste is delicious 😋.
It goes well with both yellowtail and crab👍💕💕
I peeled off the label before taking the picture, so the picture looks like a painting, but I'll call it charming 💦.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 😃You got the okay ⁉️ yay 👏🤣.
I was worried about how the sweetness would come in since it's an Autumn Sake, but it was more than I expected and had a clean aftertaste 💕💕.
I bought it at a liquor store (Ofunato) where I was traveling.
It is brewed exclusively for Tastovan, a sake specialty store in the prefecture, by the Shiwa Sake Brewery, which is famous for its "Hiroki" and "Shiwa.
The aroma is subdued and the taste is refreshing. It is a bottle of sake with a calmness that is not typical for a sake made from unpasteurized sake.

Sparkling Sake
Tokubetsu Junmai Katsugoshi Nigori Nama Shu
Shiwa Shuzo's popular Junmai Activated Nigori Sake made by a female master brewer.
It is a rare sake bottled with the yeast still alive, and after the refreshing carbonation, the delicious taste of rice and rice malt spreads in your mouth!
If the lid is opened carelessly, the sake will overflow, so it takes about 20 minutes to reduce the pressure in the bottle little by little.
The lactic acid type sparkling sake cuts through the fat, so you may enjoy it with a rich dish, fried chicken, or meat dishes.
This sake is rarely distributed due to its very small quantity.

The result of walking in the snow, looking for the second bar...
I want to drink hot sake next time...('om')
There are a lot of empty sake bottles in front of the store 🍶.
Reasonable lineup, though,
but it's nice that they have 10 brands of local sake 👏👏.
I decided to go with your "hot sake recommended" ╮╮=͟͟͞◒◒.
(◍´◍)whaaa...... good~~~✨
I heat up hot water easily at home, so it's lukewarm. ♨️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
But that's it. I'm going to turn soon.
And don't forget to drink some temperate water🚰.

I bought this as a sparkling wine for Christmas.
When poured into a glass, it is a sparkling wine!
It is also a nice Christmas treat in the mouth.
I have a feeling that I will get drunk soon since it is a normal alcohol by volume...
