Brewed by Tomikawa Shuzoten (founded in 1913), a long-established brewery in Yaita City, Tochigi Prefecture, Chuai Unfiltered Nama Sake embodies the brewery's philosophy: "Local sake is local food culture.
✳︎
The brewery uses limpid brewing water from the Shoninzawa spring system, selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan, and locally grown sake rice that the brewery itself cultivates. The sake is unpasteurized, without any filtration or heat treatment, so you can feel the vitality of the rice and the breath of the fermentation process.
✳︎
The nose has a gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of melon and pear. In the mouth, freshly squeezed acidity spreads, followed by the umami of rice and a hint of sweetness.
✳︎
The aftertaste is crisp, making it an excellent food sake. It is an evolution of the original local sake, a blend of nature and craftsmanship.
Hello, Mr. Pierre!
Two vacancies are bad 💦.
Stress and hard work - I hope you are refreshed a little by the healing power of cute kittens and delicious sake🍀.
Obtained as a souvenir from Tochigi!
I was torn between this and "Sagata" or "Kuo", which are also Tochigi sake, but I went with my gut feeling👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was elegant and aromatic, like apples, pears, and prunes.
The mouthfeel is clear and soft. The taste is sweet, elegant, and fresh with melon and tropical fruits, but the balance is smart and balanced without being too assertive.
As a Nakadori unfiltered unpasteurized sake, I had an image of it being a bit heavy, but it is light, clear, and easy to drink!
The clear rice flavor and the acidic and astringent effect that comes after the first pass through.
Just like the name "Yumesasara", it has a deep and well-processed taste ✨.
Gunma sake, Tochigi sake, and Fukushima sake.
It was a delicious taste that made us feel once again that they are unshakable!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Yes, it's true! It was my first "Chuai" + my first Tochigi sake, but also my first Nakadori type, and I was intoxicated by the charm of Tochigi sake again✨.
Great sake from neighboring prefectures. I'll do my best to promote them 🔥.

Hot weather continues, goya is squashy, and tonight is goya chanpuru😊.
Cucumber and cabbage pickled in mustard, grilled zucchini, etc.
The aroma is a strong sweet ginjo aroma 💜Definitely delicious 😋The attack is a trolley sweetness mixed with spiciness, a delicious harmony ♥️ delicious, this guy is ‼️
Koshien is also held in two parts, even at 9pm, and I'm happy to watch it while drinking 💞.
I still have 5 bottles of sake that I haven't yet listed because I haven't been able to catch up on my writing 😅I'll give you this seasonal news first 🤗.
J&N‼️ is closed until today, Wednesday.
Sunday afternoon we moved to Ichikawa, where Jay's father lives, to support my sister 🚙 and on this day we had a welcome party 🎉 for my daughter's boyfriend 🇺🇸 who came back to Japan 🥳 We hadn't seen each other since GW, but this time he will start his 3 years in Japan ‼️
My sister joined us and we all went shopping for drinks for the evening! Then, we added some salt fried chicken that Nobby made at his request, and the party started 😄.
First of all, he bought a beer with orange 🍊 for everyone to drink 🍻...he does something fancy, doesn't he 😁...it was fruity and delicious 😙.
And for this day, we brought Chuai-san ❣️ from Tochigi with the hope that they will be considerate to each other as they start to live together in earnest 😊.
The sake was a refreshing and tasty bottle unlike the darker label 😆 we ended up drinking it together 😅I hope I conveyed the feeling 😌.
And Nobby was struggling to understand his English 🔤😆 he was so engrossed in the conversation that he said he didn't get drunk at all no matter how much he drank 🤣.

Good morning Takashi 😃Thank you 😊.
I googled and looked it up 😅too much trouble so I just told him that love = LOVE🩷😄.

Good morning, soumacho 😃Thank you 😊.
I was just talking about what to do about the celebratory sake. I was just talking about what to drink when I saw Chuaai here 😄It was decided right away!
Good morning Aladdin 😃Thank you 😊.
Yes, it is true! Our feelings for each other are important because of our different cultures 😌The choice from Tochigi sake was a must 😄.
Good morning, Mr. Bousuke😃Thank you 😊.
It was a stable house-drinking party🥳This day it was a volleyball🏐 🇯🇵vs🇺🇸, but everyone was too busy talking to watch 😄.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃Thank you 😊.
Yes, I was able to have a good conversation with him in English and my daughter in Japanese 😄! He was speaking English and she was speaking mixed Japanese 😄It proved that even if you are concentrating on listening, you can still drink 🍶🤗.
For the record. This is the sake I chose for the dedication. It was easy to drink with a slight sparkle and moderate spiciness. During the day, I was tired from the new Bon Festival, so I came out for a meal.
