Today, Mizuo from Tanaka Sake Brewery in Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture, has boldly adopted a new technique to create a low-alcohol, easy-to-drink "Breaking Dragon."❗️
The aroma is sweet with a refreshing sourness❗️As you take a sip, a sharp astringency comes to your tongue after a slight mellowness❗️A good sake for a mealtime drink❗️

First gathering of sake lovers in a while.
For some reason, we started with dry sake.
I wonder if this is a honjozo spec.
It's called "dry," but I guess it's not dry at all.
It's okay because my senpai looks satisfied with it.
The top aroma is a sweet junmai aroma. First, it is served at room temperature. It has a soft mouthfeel and is well-balanced with a slightly spicy and acidic flavor, slightly sweet and easy to drink. The fragrance is pure rice.
Next, we warmed it up to lukewarm. The dryness became more pronounced. It is easy to drink, and both are good. If you want to drink it slowly, it is best served at room temperature, and if you want to drink it with a meal, it is best served warm. It is good both on its own and with a meal.
It went well with mackerel simmered in miso and spinach with sesame paste. Hitogokochi is delicious.
my favorite

When it comes to Nagano, Mizuo is the first place to go! Mizuo is the first place you should think of when you think of Nagano. Sake is clear and smooth. As the label says, it is a clear sake. It is very easy to drink. It is a sake that stands out for its good balance rather than its impact. As a standard sake, it gives the impression of being liked by everyone. With foil-baked fall salmon.
