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💕.
Junmai 🍶 Namaishu ✨Biyamanishiki🌾.
Nagano Ueda Railway Journey 🚃Day 3
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.

Today we have Wada Ryu Tosui Yamae Nishiki Namaishu from Ueda, Nagano: ❗️❗️
The aroma is really faintly sweet. A sip reveals a bit of spiciness on the tongue, followed by a crisp sweetness. ❗️ Good sake for a mealtime drink. ⭕️
Wada Ryutosui Yamae Nishiki Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ml
Ingredient rice Yamae-Nishiki
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15%.
This is my first sake.
Well, first impression, it is soft and gentle.
There are various kinds of sake rice. I would like to compare them all together.
However, all of Ueda's sakes are delicious! Why is it that all of Ueda's sakes are so delicious? Is it the water? Is it the water?
Delicious. A modern drink, but with a classic feel. I'd say it's an in-between to slightly modern type. No gassy feeling, but very drinkable and easy to sip.
I had to go to Ueda City and visited a famous sake brewery, but there was only one brand, and I was sad to find out that there was another brewery nearby, so I visited Wadaryu.
The clerk was very kind and explained everything to me, and I was able to buy a bottle of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, which made me very happy...â
Second Cup of Saku City
Even more refreshing than the first cup of Saku no Hana. But the second sip is full of flavor. I can have as many cups as I want, oh no,
