I accidentally bought this sake because of its cute label, and I drink it while eating mushrooms.
I'm drinking it with mushrooms.
It's sweeter than I expected, and I'm sure I'll drink it after dinner, too.
It's probably a minor brand in Japan, but it's been getting rave reviews around the blogosphere, so I set my sights on this one and bought it for this year's summer sake. By the way, are there really only 3 special dealers nationwide 😳 (PS: You indicated that you think there are 4)
The aroma is mild and slightly rummy.
When you drink it, there is a little ripe fruitiness, like orange or alcohol for a moment, then the umami comes, then a little bitterness, and then it starts to kick in.
The sweetness becomes stronger on the second day and the impression improves. It is a bit similar to To Kaizakari, but not as sweet as To Kaizakari's Nama-zake.
On the third day, it is heated to 40°C and 45°C. The first taste has a fruity or sugary sweetness. The sweetness comes out first, but then the spiciness comes out with a slightly ripe umami, and it becomes spicy and sharp. When cooled, it becomes sweet without losing its sharpness. It is best served warmed.
It has a very high degree of perfection, and although it is 13 degrees Celsius, it does not feel thin. It is modern, but has a good umami flavor, and is medium rather than light, which is unusual for a low-alcohol sake. It's not obvious unless you are told that it is a summer sake, and it seems to be a somewhat modern all-year-round sake. It is very difficult to say that you dislike it, regardless of whether you are a modern or classicist.
It is made in March and shipped in June, and seems to be slightly matured on purpose.
It is said that it is best when paired with mushrooms, and although there are no mushroom dishes, it is delicious!
Not too sweet and just a hint of acidity!
This is my first time to visit this brewery, and I was reminded that Nagano is still great.
The lady at the store seems to have pushed it in.
Alcohol 14 degrees Celsius
Rice polishing ratio 58
Rice used is Yamae Nishiki
It is supposed to be a sake that goes well with mushrooms, but in the end I did not pair it with mushrooms. However, it has a gentle sweetness, and it was just plain delicious.
It also had a mushroom-like flavor, though it was only vaguely.
Bitter and astringent tastes are close to that.
It's a sweet sake, juicy, but clear and elegant on the palate.
It was well balanced and certainly seemed to go well with mushroom dishes.
This is the drink I had at the event that went down....
I'm going to throw them in a row, but I'm sorry I can't remember what they tasted like❗
But it was all delicious ✨

<For mushrooms? Refreshing, gentle, fruity >.
This sake was made to go with mushrooms because Shinshu Nakano, where the brewery is located, is famous for mushrooms.
The aroma is faintly apple.
In the mouth, it is mildly fruity and gentle. It has a refreshing apple-like flavor. Sour but gentle. The aftertaste is slightly refreshing.
I thought maybe if I raised the temperature, so I wrapped it in my hand. When it was cooled down to about 15℃, the beautiful impression remained, but the taste became fuller and fuller. It's good with apple fruity and slightly rice-yummy. Both were delicious.
I imagined a sake with more umami since it was to be paired with mushrooms. I was surprised to see a mildly fruity sake.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Laura from "Red Pig. She is one of Fio's four cousins and the second one to walk in. She doesn't play a prominent role, but she is very cute and a little bit cool.
Satisfaction: ★★★★

Nagano Sake Drinking Comparison 🤓.
Shigaizumi's Tsukiizumi (I heard it's read as Tsukimi), which I've never had before.
The balance of fresh sweetness and sourness of the raw sake is great 👍️.
I don't know if it's right for me, but my image of it is similar to Senkou.
