This is Mizuo Hiyoroshi from Iiyama city.
We had it cold 🍶.
The first aroma is softly fruity and sweet.
It has a light sweetness and a mild umami with a hint of richness in the mouth.
Although it is a hiyaoroshi, it is quite delicious with a refreshing aftertaste 🍶✨️
The third and fourth pictures show the grave site of Nobuyuki Sanada, located across the Chikuma River from the site of the old battlefield of Kawanakajima.
In the 2016 NHK Taiga Drama Sanadamaru, Hiroshi Oizumi played him aloof.
It is located in Daibononji Temple, which was built on the site of the mansion where Nobuyuki Sanada lived after his retirement, but there is also a mausoleum at Sanadasan Chokokuji Temple, a family temple of the Sanada family near Matsudai Castle, so the official grave is believed to be there.
This sake is also from Nagano. Mizuo is well known and is often found at roadside stations. This sake is also brewed with brewed alcohol, so it is sweet. It is described as dry, but the taste of brewed alcohol seems to prevail. I would like to see a little more individuality in this one.

Then, the Ichimi.
The aroma is similar to Kinmon-nishiki, but also has an alcoholic aroma.
Dry umami. Almost no acidity.
This one has a stronger flavor. The aftertaste is a savory taste of rice.

I bought 300ml and compared! First, we started with the special pure one.
Aroma: mild banana type. Dry, umami, acidity.
It's not boring to drink, but that may be true.
In addition, a Junmai Ginjo of Mizuo is also available.
This was also purchased at a Shinetsu roadside station tour.
The aroma is melon-like.
It is light and dry with low acidity.
It has a light and dry taste with a hint of sweetness, making it ideal as a mid-meal sake.
Misogi Hagi (cultivated) Good evening. It is good to compare the same brewery's sake. The basic taste is the individuality of the brewer, and the difference in the brewing process, and the difference in the year of production. My sense of taste has become lax in my old age, but I enjoy it all the same 😊.
Today is another day to drink sake from Nagano Prefecture.
Today's sake is a special junmai sake from Mizuo, a local sake brewery in Iiyama City.
Purchased at a Shinetsu roadside station tour.
It is made from 100% Kinmon-Nishiki produced in Kijimadaira, Nagano Prefecture.
The aroma has a melon-like ginjo aroma.
Tastes like melon with acidity. Light dry type.
We are grateful to have found a good sake.
