🍶🤓.
Gentle yellow ✨Fruity aroma ✨
Silky and light with a smooth sake quality!
Easy to drink with just the right amount of acidity ✌️
Reminds me of white wine in color and taste 😊.
Very tasty🤗

Kangiku's Sake Mirai was not in stock and was instead accompanied by three Kangiku varieties. We were unsure about Koshi Apple and Niidashi Zenshu.
The store had 10 bottles in stock at the end of last year and 5 bottles on the day of the event. I asked the owner if he had any Tsukiyoshis in stock. He said yes, but they are not in stock. We have no choice but to cooperate with him to reduce the stock.
I wondered how it would be like to age Orikarami, but no, it is silky and delicious 😊.
Only 4 bottles left in stock at the store, if you are in the area, I recommend it 😁.
Shimizu Sake Shop, location search somehow did not come up❓
Kaku-uchi at Ohtsuki Sake Shop in Matsumoto City
We had a cup of Tsukiyoshi's, a brand name of Ueda Wakabayashi Brewery, which we were curious about.
Special Junmai made with Hitogokochi
The aroma is quite cheesey.
The clear acidity makes it easy to drink,
The aftertaste was very soft with bitterness and a grain-like umami.
It was very soft!
Overall, it was a beautiful sake that you could drink without feeling any resistance ✨.
Tsukiyoshino Purple Unfiltered Nama-shu - Yamadanishiki brewing - 720ml
Raw material rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 59
Alcohol content 16%.
It is light and fresh, but the umami flavor sinks in.
I am also very interested in the purple version.
It is so delicious that I have been drinking too much since Tuesday.
It's been so hot these days that my body has been getting beat up...this is when I need to drink! Today, I'd like to introduce you to Tsukiyoshino's Moeki, which has been my recent favorite! I guess it stands like a summer sake. I'm happy to see that they have been releasing many different kinds lately 😊.
This time I'll have the Yamahai. The aroma is like apple and muscat. It is milder than the ones I have had so far, but there is a fruity aroma. The taste is less sweet and more umami. The acidity is like a white wine, which is nice. The aftertaste is moderate 😊It has a modern feel even though it is called Yamahai.
Today, there was an insta-live with Yoshino Tsuki, so we enjoyed the sake while listening to the live performance. It was great to hear about his passion for sake making. I hope that the town of Ueda will become better and better 😄Next time I want to visit the sake brewery!
Yamahai is a refreshing type of sake. I wonder if it is called "modern Yamahai. The sweetness is moderate, and the acidity takes the lead and lingers a bit.
Tsukiyoshino Bessho Sake Junmai Daiginjo 300ml
Rice: Miyamanishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 49
Alcohol content: 15%.
The second bottle purchased at the brewery's store.
This one was well chilled, so it was served without ice.
It is Junmai Daiginjo, and it is delicious, but 300ml is still not enough 😅.
I would like to go back to the brewery store to look for a different one 😉.
Tsukiyoshino's Ueda no Sake Special Junmai 300ml
Ingredient rice Nagano rice
Polishing ratio 59
Alcohol content: 15%.
These two bottles were purchased at the kurahon kiosk last December. There is no limited edition at the kurahon kiosk, but this one is sold only here and at Bessho Onsen.
There was another kind, but we brought these two bottles with us for now.
It was a little dry and refreshing, almost like a red wine. The wine was not cooled down well, so I added a glass of ice. It's good. I think it would probably be good warmed up too 🍶.
It's very tasty!
I've never had Tsukiyoshino's Yamadanishiki before, but it's sweet and tasty and easy to drink!
It's probably the most delicious Tsukiyoshino's I've ever had. ⁉︎
