It's tsukiyoshino's hiyaoroshi🍶🌙
The top aroma is sweet with a full-bodied flavor.
The top aroma is sweet with a full-bodied flavor, and in the mouth it has a slightly complex flavor.
I had it cold, but it would have been better to warm it up as the label on the back says.
It was delicious though 🍶😉.
The third and fourth pictures are of the main factory of Hioki Electric, located about 2km north of Wakabayashi Brewery.
They are famous for their HIOKI brand testers, but unless you work in the electrical field, you might wonder what that is lol.
I don't have much to do with it either😅
From Monday to Friday this week, I traveled from Ueda in Nagano to Chikuma, Nagano, Suzaka, Obuse, and Nakano to visit breweries.
The first cup in Nagano was a tasting at the Wakabayashi Brewery 🍶.
The new Tsukiyoshi-no-Murasaki sake was sold out, so unfortunately it was a 6BY sake, but the Tsukiyoshi-no-Aka 🌙 was very good.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
The top aroma is slightly sweet, and in the mouth it is dry with a hint of sweetness and umami.
The Tsukiyoshi sake I have had so far is an unfiltered, raw sake with a strong sweetness, but compared to that, it is much more refreshing as it is claimed to be dry.
But it is not too dry and is quite good dryness.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
The third picture is of the Wakabayashi Brewery, located about a 2-minute walk from Nakano Station on the Ueda Dentetsu Bessho Line.
They were working on bottling and when I asked the store owner about it, he told me that they were bottling fruit juice that day🧃.
The fourth picture is a matsutake mushroom for grilling at a matsutake mushroom hut in Ueda.
They were so... big... 🍄🟫
Hello, Matsuchiyo 😃.
So this is where you started your journey 🍶.
I like to take my time and visit historical sites and breweries 😃.
I hope to stop by the brewery store before the end of the year too 🥹.
Good evening @Mizuhashi🍶.
We arrived in Ueda before noon and started with a course of grilled matsutake mushrooms at a matsutake mushroom hut called Ichisaka Sanso😊.
Wakabayashi Brewing Company showed their progress by winning a gold medal in the National New Sake Competition with their Yamadanishiki from Nagano Prefecture 🎵 This one is also delicious 🍶.
The aroma is fruity. Slightly melon.
The taste is rather robust, with a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami.
The bitterness on the back end is strong, but the crispness makes it easy to drink.

I haven't had enough to drink, so here's the next one.
Oh, rabbit 🐇.
It has a firm umami flavor. Maybe I can feel the strength of the rice even more after drinking the awa awa. It is delicious 😋 and a very good sake. I wish I could drink it and recommend it to people who love sake.
The reason I came home late this week was not only because I was busy with work, but also because I apparently stepped on a website (not a pornographic one, but...) that was not good for the company, and a file that was not good for the company was downloaded, and the IT department in my home country cut off my network 😑 I deleted the file and checked my disk many times. I was told to "initialize the PC" and I was so busy dealing with it that I'm sure I'm on the blacklist in my home country for the first time in a department of 100 people 😑 and the logs will probably be monitored for months to come.
It's sometimes dangerous to go around saying that gray areas are not black 💦.

The MVP brewery of the year," said a pop-up in some liquor store.
I wonder if this year's new sake will be available around the end of November. I am looking forward to it.
Now, we opened a bottle of this sake, which is said to be inspired by the Mid-Autumn Moon, in the autumn.
It is slightly dry, but thick and round, and delicious.
I enjoyed it in many ways this year. Each series? There is a wide range in each color.
I would like to visit the brewery tasting sometime 😉.
After Nagoya, I also volunteered at yomoya Nagano.
And the last hour free drink time, I had my first drink there, Tsukiyoshino.
This purple sake is brewed with Yamada Nishiki produced in Saku.
The label says it is dry, but on the contrary, it is slightly fruity and very tasty. I like it the best.
😋😋😋😋😋
I was told that there were only a few bottles in the brewery, so the next day I took the local train to the brewery to buy some. I was very pleased with the taste 🚃.
Good morning, NITO 🐥.
Nagano also 😳‼️ volunteer really good job 😊I experienced it in Osaka last year and it's fun that day but later on it's soooooo 😂💦 please relax with your delicious discovery of sake 🙏.
Hi Bon 😃
I was in Nagoya and Nagano 😅.
It's fun to find out what you like in these events with sake you've never had 😃.
The other day I went to a local sake festival in Bon-chan's hometown, Shiga Sake. There were lots of delicious sake and I discovered something new 😋😋.
October 6 was the Mid-Autumn Moon 🎑.
The full moon was on the following day, the 7th, but there were few clouds and the moon was almost full, so it was a perfect night for [moonshine viewing] 🌛🍶🥰.
Here is the perfect place to open on such a night for a drink: ✨️
Tsukiyoshino's Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 GOLD COURSE
My first "Tsukiyoshino" 🎉!
［Glass.]
The aroma is apple-like, which is typical of Shinshu sake, and the mouthfeel is smooth and apple-like, with a strong 16° impact, followed by a sharp finish and a fresh aftertaste, as well as a burning bitterness that is felt firmly in the throat.
［Mokkiri]
Slightly aromatic and fruity aroma, a smooth and refreshing flavor and freshness, followed by a fresh aftertaste and a bitter taste that can be felt firmly down the throat at the end.
Serve with yellowtail toro sashimi and salmon sashimi.
［The label with "moon", "rabbit", and "silver grass" is appropriate for the "Mid-Autumn Moon".
While the labels are pretty, the taste is fresh with a firm aftertaste, a balance I have never experienced 😋.
I especially like the bitterness in the back of the throat, similar to that of whisky 🥰.
It's the perfect time of year to drink it with the windows open and the night breeze in the air 😙.
The third picture is one of [the moon] with a little cloud cover: 📷️
The fourth one is a lunch date with my wife after a long time.
When my wife changes jobs this month, it's going to be harder to go out for lunch on weekdays like this, so I thought I'd do it while I still can, so I went there after hearing her request: ✨️
Hi Jive, good evening!
The Mid-Autumn moon tsukimizake is a quintessential Mid-Autumn tsukimizake, and the label fits perfectly 😁.
The fact that it looks like whiskey makes me wonder if it's strong and alcoholic 😋.
Good lunch date - looks delicious 🤤.
Good morning, Jive 😃.
Mid-autumn moon is beautiful 🌕Open the window and enjoy the night breeze while tsukimi-sake. It's nice and breezy. ☺️
I miss your wife's new job and not being able to have lunch dates with her, but I have to support her 😉.
Hi Jive 🐦.
It was beautiful, last night's full moon on the mid-autumn moon 🌕️ 😊I was wondering what you drank, it's a perfect one! It's a nice time of year to open the window and drink while watching 🌾.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 🌛.
I decided this was the right time to drink it when I got it.
It was a rare bottle with a strong taste that you can feel in the back of your throat, which is hard to believe it is 16° 🍶.
［The lunch at Meshimaya is the best!
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
The scent of softly fragrant golden osmanthus in the cool breeze is also more pleasant 🥰.
My current workplace is quite [hmmm?] I recommended changing jobs, and I was able to move on to the next one without any problems.
Good evening, Pon 🌛.
Finally, I'm free from the air conditioner for evening drinks and bedtime 🥰.
Since it's the perfect [moonshine] so far, I aimed to open it during this most enjoyable time of the year for [moonshine]: ✨️
The attack is sweet, and the peculiar and peculiar ginjo aroma is not my personal taste.
It's like a bran-like aroma. I sometimes encounter sake with this kind of aroma, but I still don't like it!
The Tsukiyoshino sake I usually drink is much better!
Tsukiyoshino's Tsukimi ni Ippai, Special Junmai
Rating 4.4
The autumn chapter of female Touji Mami Wakabayashi's "Tsukimi ni Ippai" - inspired by the famous mid-autumn moon.
This is a limited-edition autumn sake that is shipped after the special junmai sake, Tsukiyoshino's signature sake, has been fire-aged for one time.
It has a round and gentle flavor that has matured over the summer. It has a moderately firm body, with a flavor that is umakuchi to slightly dry, acidic, and crisp, and can be enjoyed cold or warmed.
Recommended as an accompaniment for long autumn evenings.
Tsukiyoshino Shin Junmai Daiginjo-shu [Wakabayashi Brewery, Nagano Prefecture].
Slight pineapple taste from the sweet mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness. Juicy.
Ingredients: rice, rice koji
Rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, all used
