Overall 9 (out of 10)
Today we took a drive to Shinshu and went on a little sake brewery tour 🍶.
After the Okazaki Sake Brewery, we stopped by the nearby Wadaryu Sake Brewery to buy some 🍶.
It was my first sake 🍶!
It's delicious ❣️😋
Light and light ❗️
All the flavors of the rice 🌾 are evenly and lightly sprinkled on the sake.
I got such an impression!
It's not sweet and tasty, but it's not dry either 🧐.
So I hurriedly compared it with KahayoYauke Miyamanishiki, which is brewed with the same Miyamanishiki.
As a result, I was reminded once again that sake is not as simple as having the same rice (🙇♂️).
Compared to this sake, the Hanahyoyukyu was thicker and much more fruity👍.
We served it chilled.
Pairing impressions were made by Pekho-san
Here are my personal impressions
Aroma
Not much
Taste
The higher the number, the stronger the sensation (5 is the maximum)
-Spiciness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Sweetness: 1 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Sourness: 0 at the beginning → 0 in the aftertaste
-Bitterness: 0 at the beginning → 1 in the aftertaste
-Astringency: 1 at the beginning 1→ Lingering 1
-Umami: 3 at the beginning → 2 in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel】→2
Smaller number = light and smooth
Bigger number = thicker and richer

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I like the idea of a petit sake brewery tour 🚗.
Okazaki Sake Brewery is a brewery I'd like to visit someday✨
I imagine it to be gentle and dry 😋It looks like it would go well with food 😋.
Good evening, shinsaku3!
Sounds like you had a great road trip date 😘.
It's nice to tour sake breweries as a couple 👌.
I thought it was interesting that your evaluation was different from Pekho's this time too! I guess everyone feels differently 🤗.
Good morning, shinsaku3 😃.
Shinshu Sake Drive 🚙 is a great way to visit sake breweries and liquor stores 😊.
I remember in the past when I was so excited in the car in response to all the signs with the name "Sake" 😆 I wish I could go back!
Good morning, ma-ki-san 😃.
Okazaki Sake Brewery was renovated last year and it was beautiful👍.
I recommend you to visit the surrounding area as well 😃.
Noborimizu-san is more dry and gentle as you said 😃.
Good morning, Hinahana mama 😃.
I've met my 1994 GW self: ☺️
It seems that Pekho-san has recently awakened to the light and dry 😅.
I sometimes find myself enjoying sake that has no sweet and tasty elements 😅.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby😃.
The brewery and the liquor store are all nice people, really fun and heartwarming ☺️
At Wadaryu, we had a lot of fun with the lady of the house with the on-board refrigerator story because of the way we brought back the draft sake😃.
Good evening, Oka-yu. I too am curious about this sake 😳I want to drink it more and more, such a deep taste of gentle sweetness like brown sugar in delicious water💕.

Here is the second cup of Kosuke.
It's full of acidity and umami 😆 It's good without being cloying. Dry but gentle. The acidity is the key to the flavor. It accepts the raw fried octopus (🐙).
The touch panel says Junmai Ginjo Nama Nama Sake but from the bottle I'm guessing it's Junmai Nama Sake 🤔.

Here is the last 6 cups. It's very smooth. Just the right amount of sweet and spicy. I think it is the best sake we tasted here. I bought some as souvenirs for my brother.
