Taste 4/5
Tanakaya Sake Brewery, Iiyama City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan Mizuo Tokubetsu Junmai Shu, Tanpu
Made from 100% Kinmon-Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture using the best water in Okushinano.
It has a low alcohol content of 13% and is a summery sake that goes down smoothly.
It goes well with pickled nozawana (green vegetables), etc.
I went to Isetan with Ao and tasted it and bought it.
I didn't know Mizuo was here and was just hanging around when Ao called me and I went over there and they were having a Mizuo tasting 😁.
The person in charge of the brewery was a woman named Ms. Tanaka, so I guess she was the proprietress? I wonder if she is the mother of the person who came to Hankyu last year.
I decided to buy it immediately after taking a sip.
The rice used is Kinmon-nishiki.
It is fire-brewed but slightly effervescent. It is refreshing, with a strong acidity and a short aftertaste. It is low in alcohol, but has more umami than expected.
I thought it tasted similar to something when I tasted it, a little bit like the summer junmai ginjo from Shinshu Kamerei that I had before 🤔.
It's not as sweet and gassy as Shinshu Kamerei, though.
Kinmon-nishiki, I've never heard of this rice before, but it's so delicious!
I heard it is a very rare rice.
It's like water, it's so easy to drink, it's dangerous... All Nagano's sake is beautiful, but Mizuo's is so bad...
Suio, an occasional drink.
As expected, it has a clean and refreshing taste.
A perfect sake for hot summer!
Delicious cold

Shuwa and melon-like fruity taste!
After smelling a little of alcohol immediately after opening the bottle, the wine was slightly effervescent in the mouth, and the sweetness and umami went down the throat pleasantly. The lingering aftertaste is a little bitterness. I made love to it and it was very delicious.
