Happy Saturday with Autumn Swordfish, Mahjong and Mr. Nakanori
Mahjong was good because I lost on Saturday but Sunday was positive.
I didn't expect much, but it was very easy to drink.
Nagano Prefecture
30BY Junmai-shu 5 years aged
Rice polishing ratio 80
Alcohol 19
Rice: 100% Hitogokochi
Purchased at the main store of Nakazen Shuzo in Kiso, where Nakanori's brewery is located.
It is a popular brand that sells out quickly, and there was only one bottle left at the main store.
The slightly yellowish liquid is beautiful.
When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the rich rice flavor on your tongue, just like Shaoxing sake.
It has a high alcohol content and is a gem that will make you intoxicated in no time.
Stable taste. Mellow and full-bodied with a sense of sweetness from the rice. The aftertaste is matured with a hiyaoroshi feeling, but it is easy to drink.
Encounter at Mr. Sandai Sawa
Nakanori-san in Kiso Fukushima, Nagano Prefecture
Shuwa Shuwa refreshingly sweet low-alcohol sake.
Wow it's delicious - it was gone in an instant.
It took me about 5 minutes to open the bottle without overflowing a drop. Slowly, slowly.
As soon as I got back from my trip to Kiso on the 1st, I went on a business trip and ate out a lot, so I did not eat at home for a long time.
My wife boiled and froze the corn "Megumi" at my classmate's place.
Finally, I could eat it. It was still sweet 😋.
Paired it with Nakanori's Kazakoshi Aorashi that I bought in Kiso.
This is a fire-roasted version almost identical to the one we enjoyed at the sake brewery!
It has umami and sweetness, but it's light, not heavy.
A little citrusy acidity, but not too sour.
It's a little citrusy and sour, but not too acidic.
Delicious 🥰.
I also bought 4 oyaki, but my wife ate all of them 😭
Nakanori and Misuzu from Shinshu Jizake Hanpukai we drank last week: ‼️
I've been slacking on posting 🤣.
Well, both are delicious as Shinshu sake should be 😋.
💃🏿
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice koji (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Yamae-Nishiki
I drink 2 cups on Monday and 2 cups on Wednesday.
My stupid tongue that can't feel that much change is sad 🙂↕️ It starts out sweet and slightly carbonated and ends with a slight bitterness. It is very easy to drink.
I drink it with food on Mondays and by itself on Wednesdays. It goes well with both 😁.
However,
I drink it when I'm thirsty, so I think to myself that I shouldn't take the first sip in a big gulp 😅What do you mean by "enjoy"?
To Kiso with high school classmates (4)
After dinner at the pension, we had a party in another room.
The other guests canceled their reservations and we had the place to ourselves 🤣.
(The pensioner made soup with corn from my classmate's house, which was also delicious)
At Nakazen Sake Brewery, my classmate who was a driver and couldn't taste the sake opened a bottle of Fuetsu Aoarashi that he bought there because he was sorry he couldn't drink it!
This is the one I liked at the tasting!
It tastes like rice, but sweet and sour.
A little apricot taste, aroma?
I drank too much from morning till night, including some I didn't upload.
But until a few minutes ago, I never imagined myself hanging out with my high school classmates like this!
Finally, at night, there were so many stars, I've never seen so many stars in the sky ✨.
Good morning, Takashi 😊I'm glad you had a good time with your high school classmates, exchanging sake cups 😆♪ Youth 🤣.
I was worried about the typhoon 🌀, but it was free or reserved 👍I want to see the wonderful starry sky✨.
Thank you very much, Tsubu!
Truly, depending on how you look at it, I am more youthful than I was in high school🤣.
I am grateful for such friends and environment!
