A cup of sake for moon viewing🎑.
Nagano Ueda Railway Journey🚃Day 3
Enjoy a day trip to Bessho Onsen (♨️) and go to a corner liquor store 🍶.
Tasting 12 kinds of sake for 100 yen per cup 🆗.
Here is the first glass. Refreshing ✨, but also tasty. Sweetness followed by spiciness. Refreshing.
The main store is located in Shikkyo-yu, the same place that was featured in "Otoko wa Tsuraiyo" in the past, but it was beautifully renovated and has a nice feel 👍.

Today, Tsukiyoshino's Red Dry Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu from Ueda, Nagano: ❗️❗️
The aroma is not much. One sip and you get the density and raw tangy texture on the tongue❗️ followed by a bit of fruity and strong acidity❗️ interesting sake⭕️

100% Hitogochiki produced in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture

Here we are in Ueda!
This time we visited the brewery store of Wakabayashi Brewery ✌️
The new Hana sake was sold out, but I bought a bottle of the new Aka sake and opened it as soon as I got home.
It's not as dry as it sounds, but it's good. I can see why it is popular at izakaya (Japanese style pubs).
I also brought along a bottle of Hi-iri Red and Sakura Nama Sake, so I am looking forward to it 😊.
Wakabayashi Brewery just resumed sake brewing in 2015. They recently won awards in Japan and abroad and were featured prominently in the local city's PR magazine. This year, they sold "Tsukiyoshino White," which won an award in France? The "Tsukiyoshino White," which won an award in France this year, was already sold out. Too bad.
Aroma
Fruity ginjo aroma.
The aroma is sweet with a hint of sourness like green apple, muscat, grapefruit, and LaFrance.
The softly sweet alcohol taste is unique to the sake.
Gorgeous and pleasant aroma.
Mouthfeel
Fruity on the palate.
Sweet and delicious with a hint of sourness.
It has a sweet taste of apple, sweet lactic acid beverage, grapefruit, and the alcohol taste of raw sake.
In addition to the alcohol taste, bitter and pungent tastes appear on the tongue and in the nasal cavity, and they expand!
After swallowing the sake, the aforementioned alcohol, bitterness, and pungency appear to cover the fruity sweetness and umami sensation felt on the palate, creating a surprisingly dry feeling that finishes with a kick...that's how it feels.
Summary
This "Tsukiyoshino no Hana" is said to have a negative sake degree, but I got the impression that the pungency and bitterness were easily perceptible in the aftertaste!
This sake has everything: fruity sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness!
I'm curious to see the rest of the lineup!
This sake was recommended to me when I told the liquor store that I like dry sake.
This is my first time drinking it.
It is crisp, dry and dry.
I enjoy it with red bean paste.

First "Tsukiyoshino".
This is my third cup at "Iyoshiya Yotsuya Yotsuya" in Mizonokuchi.
It is only unfiltered, raw sake, and the juiciness is irresistible.
In addition, the toji (master brewer) is a woman, and they use the same water as Shinshu Kamerei, so it has a second Shinshu Kamerei-like quality to it.
Wow, it was delicious! I want to drink it again.
It came out recommended as heated, but come to think of it, I drink it cold all the time at home, so it's good heated too!
Mildly sweet and bitter.
Mildly sweet and bitter!

Fresh acidity and soft aroma with a greffle feel. No unpleasant parts at all, so delicious that it is gone in an instant😋.
Already bought more as a New Year's sake for my parents' house.
It seems to be a warehouse near Bessho Onsen Hot Springs.
I wanted to go there.
It is sweet and delicious!
But there are a few others as well.
The rice is jungin made from Yamae-nishiki.

Opened a bottle of #Tsukiyoshi's White 🎵.
Unusually, I served it at room temperature at the beginning 🎵The full-bodied and receptive flavor went well with spicy mapo tofu👍 Bizake Bizake✌.
