Nakanori-san cocoromi hiyaoroshi
Rated 4.3, Top Warmer 4.4
Rice type: Shinkosake 555 (Yamamizuki), Rice polishing ratio: 55%, Yeast: Nagano D, Alcoholic content: 16%.
This junmai ginjo is brewed with "Shinkosake 555" (Yamamizuki), which is a combination of Hanabukiyuki, Hitogochi, and Mineharuka sake rice. The new sake, squeezed in early spring, has matured over the summer, becoming mellow and mild in flavor. It has a softness and fullness, and its extended flavor spreads in the mouth.
It is characterized by clean acidity and has a very well-balanced taste.
The lingering bitterness at the convergence of the flavors is harsh when served cold. Green apple-like flavor. Good when warmed.
First visit in a year, Nakazen Sake Brewery in Kisofukushima.
Tasted and bought what I liked!
Made with Miyamanishiki

The aroma is like muscat, melon
fruity sweetness and mellowness.
It has a calm impression.
Slightly gassy and very cool on the palate.
The soft sweetness like banana🍌, good acidity, and rice flavor spread from the first taste, which is delicious. ✨️
It has a wonderful depth of flavor in the latter half of the bottle, but the taste does not remain on the palate, making it a good sake for a meal ☺.
Hello, Jay & Nobby!
You can compare seasonal sake at the brewery's directly-managed store.
Kiso Fukushima is a good place to enjoy local sake while sightseeing because of its old streets and delicious soba noodle restaurants!
What was the cause of my fatigue today?
It was kind of a sleepy day.
Umagari Onsen was nice.
I guess you have to sleep for 7 hours to reset your tiredness.
This was the best meal I had during the Silver Week!

This calm and delicious taste
It's really delicious!
Hi Tsuyodai 😃I've had Zenkichi from this brewery, but I've never met Nakanori-san yet, looks delicious 🤤.
Are you like stubbornly not using reading glasses 🤣❓
Manachie Good evening 😆Nakanori is also calm and delicious, try it if you have a chance 😁I have reading glasses but I don't wear them much, I let people around me read what I can't see 🤭.
Nakanori-san Nama-moto Special Junmai Kurihara
Rated 4.4-4.3
Rice polishing ratio 59%, raw material rice: Miyamanishiki, alcohol 16%.
A challenging brand, not a standard sake. In the future, this brewer will be pursuing deliciousness and will be one not to be missed. This brand has a mild taste with Hiroshima No. 6 yeast. The convergence is refreshing with acidity and a dry aftertaste. The balance is good, but a little bit of a tangy taste comes out at the end....

Rating 4.5
Product details: Junmai Ginjyo Nama, Ingredients: rice, rice malt, rice: Shinkoshu No. 555, Rice polishing ratio: 55%, Alcohol content: 16%, Yeast: Nagano D yeast.
This sake was test brewed using a new variety from Nagano Prefecture. This sake rice is a combination of "Hanabukiyuki, Hitogochi, and Mine Haruka" called "Yamamizuki". This junmai ginjo is made by storing the raw sake made during the winter at low temperatures until summer. It is soft and full, with an extended flavor that spreads in the mouth. The aroma is a gorgeous peach-✕green apple type of aroma. A soft touch. This is the third year of test brewing.

I accidentally checked in before drinking once...
The bottle was not marked as open, but the bottle popped open...
Not particularly fizzy!
Test rice brewing
Among the recent Nakanori's sake I drank, this one has a slightly refreshing acidity.
There is a little bit of Nakanori's typical umami and sweetness later on, but overall, it is a very refreshing sake.
Although it is called "test rice", it is still a delicious brew!
Preference ★★★★☆
The fourth drink of the evening was Nakanori, which I am ashamed to admit was the first time I knew its name.
The attack is light and sweet and easy to drink, but it has depth and is a delicious sake that I would like to add to my regular lineup like Oshinshu.
There are many delicious sakes from Nagano that suit my taste.
I bought it because a liquor store in my purchasing area started carrying it.
It has a moderate sweetness, a good balance of umami and acidity, and a gentle and light taste. It is delicious!
It soaked into my tired body. Thank you for the food 😊.
Hi Tsuyodai😄
I saw on your instagram that you have Zenkichi in stock! Glad you got it right away👍Glad to see that good sake is becoming easier to find😄.
Purchased at a brewery during a trip to Kiso
Yamae Nishiki 55% polished rice, which has been on my mind lately
Mellow cappuccino aroma.
I wonder if it is Alps yeast.
Somewhat like No. 14
Elegant sweetness and low acidity
softly permeates the body
Nakanori-san is said to be a man who rides on top of a tree when transporting lumber on the river.
Kiso-like
Tasting the sake while listening to the brewer's story is a pleasant memory.
Nice to meet you, Nakanori-san!
The aroma is of apples, with a slight hint of sweet and sour, bitterness, and astringency mixed together in a well-balanced manner to create a complex flavor. The last taste is sharp and pungent, and it disappears cleanly and crisply, so it is perfect for this hot season when you want another cup.
Zenkichi from the same brewery is also delicious, but Nakanori is just as good 😋.
