Miscellaneous impressions
The soft taste of rice and the richness of the flavor are quite pleasing.
I think it goes well as a food sake.
Purchased from the same liquor store as Black Kabuto
The store owner's wife? It seems to be a favorite of the shop's wife.
It is stored in the snow room for 4 months.
It has a round and smooth taste. It is not the modern type, but it is sweet and delicious.
It is very rare to find a raw stored sake 🤔.
Most of them are watered down and have a light taste.
Shigaizumi Ippodo Nitroku Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu 720ml
Rice polishing ratio : 58
Alcohol content: 15%.
We drank it last year and enjoyed it so much that we brought it back from Ikusakaya for the 2007.4 production.
It has a gentle taste and relaxes you when you drink it. It is fresh and fruity, but it is a delicious sake that gently permeates the body.
We paired it with Hida's famous chicken 😋.
Shiga Izumi Sake Brewery
Delicious good. Apple aroma. Sweet and delicious with fruity and juicy acidity. Slightly effervescent and lively. Slight bitterness. It's refreshing and crisp. Umeyuee. I like it.
Purchased at Zenkojiya Sake Brewery, a liquor store in Nakano City. It is located between Marusei Sake Brewery and Igaya Sake Brewery. If you are not driving, you can taste it.
I bought it for myself while I went to buy the hottest souvenir of Nagano Prefecture, "Tsuki no Usagi no Unko" (a rabbit of the moon).
Next time, I would like to buy Shigaizumi as a souvenir.
Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 58%, ALC 15%.
It is a junmai sake with a subtle fruity aroma, which is probably due to the rice used in the brewing process.
Although it is a pure sake, it does not have much carbonation, and although it is a pure sake, it is 15% ALC, so it is refreshing and crisp and you will not get tired of drinking it 😋.
I decided to buy two sakes to drink at the inn: Junmai Ginjo Kisekirei, which was included in the set and Junmai Ginjo Daisetsukei, which was not included in the set 🤗.
