Beian Daikoku is served with Wakegi Nuta and quiche. The strong aroma and spiciness go well with the spicy vinegared miso paste of the nuta. The quiche is also good as a chopstick rest. Thank you very much for the meal.
Rice flavor, acidity, plumpness and clarity. The sense of alcohol is easily felt. I drank it chilled, but it would be better to drink it at room temperature or higher.
This is a Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu from Kitaan Okuni.
I remember that the last time I drank it, it was sweet and fruity.
I think the Sake meter was minus 9 or something like that this time too.
Open the seal!
Sweet and fruity: ‼️
This is it, this is it!
This is a good sake that you can enjoy the taste of sake!
It's my favorite. ❣️

At first sip, it tastes sweet, but strangely enough, it quickly cools down despite its sweetness.
My wife said, "Sake can taste so many different flavors.
I compared it with Taisetsu-kei, and it seemed to have more umami than yesterday's sake.
I guess the combination also changes the taste.
Also, this brewery has last year's snow-aged sake and unlabeled junmai unfiltered sake coming up. I'm looking forward to opening the bottle.
Good morning, @Mizuhashi 😃.
It's my first time to see Hokian Okuni, but I'm also interested in the second day taste of Daisetsugi which I want to drink 😋 Nagano sake 🍶 is delicious 🤗 I think I'll go for a day trip.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It's a brewery in Omachi 🍶It seems everyone has a local preference or treats differently in different areas 😘.
Taisetsukei kuragen kiosk is close to us in Azumino 🚙.
Tsubu's influence has made it within a day trip 🤣.
Since I started visiting this liquor store, the ratio of Nagano sake has suddenly increased 😀.
The owner of this store does not often recommend sake brands, but this sake was recommended to me by the owner when he said he had found a good sake 😀.
I have already had a bottle of Hokian Okuni Sake that was stored in the snow last year and I enjoyed it very much.
This sake was originally intended for a sake competition and was only distributed in Nagano Prefecture, but after years of negotiations, it was bottled for the first time for a liquor store in Osaka😇.
The aroma and drinking impression of this sake was just beautiful 😀.
It was crystal clear, but the deliciousness just disappeared beautifully 😀.......but I can still feel the sake, which is something I am not good at expressing, it was a delicious sake 🤣.
Now that we are all awakened to Nagano's sake, my wife and I are going to Ueda, Nagano on the 14th and 15th of this week😇.
There are six sake breweries in Ueda, and we plan to visit four of them that have stores and a sake shop that specializes in local sake😇.
I'm a little disappointed that last week I would have been able to buy Shinshu Kamerei's Mari-san label, but I'm going to enjoy a lot of Nagano sake 🤣.
Good evening, Yasbay🌆.
Friday and Saturday, right? I think my family will go on Sunday even if we can go 😅.
Actually, we're still in the middle of a family meeting 😭.
I'm looking forward to your review since I've only been to two sake brewery stores in Ueda 😊.
Looking forward to the weekend😍.
Good evening, Yasubeyesan🌛I had the impression that Kitayasu Brewery took me there once and it was delicious🍶I envy your trip to Shinshu: ✨️I've been planning a trip to Suwa and Ueda but haven't had the time to go yet, so I'm on hold 😓Enjoy your trip to the fullest: ☺️
Good evening, Yasbay!
It's your usual sake activity and personality that makes you recommend such wonderful sake 😁✨.
And your energy is also amazing to go on an expedition right after you discovered Nagano sake 😲.
Looking forward to your Nagano trip review 😊.
Good morning, Yasbay 😊.
I'm sure the recommendation from your trusted liquor store is absolutely delicious! I'm going to Nagano at the end of this month too 😊.
Not a main sake brewery 😅.
Please let me know all about gourmet food, liquor stores, breweries, etc. 😊.
Good morning, Yasube 😃.
Nagano sake trip! I remember when we went there about 2 years ago 😌 and the conversation in the car was lively just by visiting the liquor stores 😄.
Have a lot of fun 👋
Good evening, Yasubeyesan!
Limited edition sake 😻 is nice 😻 ❣️ last year, I felt a good connection with Hokian Daikoku-san, where Yomoyamena 🐰 was located, and Hata-san, who was taken by Yasubeye-san (lol), who is also a nice person 😊.
Take care Shinshu!
Good evening, @Mizuhashi 😀
I checked and found that many breweries in Ueda are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so I tried my best to take a day off on Friday 😀.
I made a plan to visit 4 breweries in Ueda 😇.
Good evening, Nao888!
Nagano sake is my recent boom, and I especially like Shinshu Kamerei in Ueda and Mikotsuru in Suwa, so I wanted to visit both of them, but this time I will take a course from Ueda to Nagano, including a tour of temples and shrines😇.
Good evening, ma-ki- 😀
I was really lucky to have this limited edition sake recommended to me to take home 😇!
And since I'm not a fan of words like "limited edition" or "limited edition", I enjoyed it even more 🤣.
Good evening, Ao 😀
I too know nothing about Nagano except for a few skiing trips when I was younger, so I'm looking forward to seeing what new encounters I'll have 😇.
If you're going to Nagano, Ao, let's definitely enjoy the local sake 😇
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀.
I knew you had a great time on your sake trip to Nagano, and I'm looking forward to going there more and more😇.
Our family's sake activities are a bit limited in scope since we basically don't use the car so that we can drink anytime 😅.
Good evening, Pon 😀.
I remember you😇.
Sake Tomo-san was helping Hokian Daikoku-san with his booth, so it was fun to see everyone from the Kansai branch of Sakewa 😀.
I'm only in Ueda and Nagano, but I'll enjoy as much as I can 😇
☀️
Warmed sake, with oden and 🍶.
The acidity is standing out, but the oden mix makes it bland and sweet. This is a good combination🤗
It cools down from hot to mild.
It is a sweet and sour apple type 🍎 when drunk alone.
I thought it was a technique when serving heated sake to serve it a little beyond the good temperature range of that sake.
I learned another lesson 🤗.
Hi Hiro 🐦.
Professionals are awesome ✨If it's exactly 45 degrees, it's almost always cold by the time you drink it in cold weather 🤣.
I'm learning a lot 🙏.
Good evening, Ponchan 🌙
Professionals are really great at this ❗️
They know the right temperature range for each sake and even take into account how cold it is. ❗️
I'm going to keep learning the art of heating sake 😆.
Purchased at a roadside station. It is made from Shirakaba Nishiki produced in Kotani Village. This is delicious.
It has a dry taste with a hint of sweetness from the rice, but it is also crisp with a slight bubbly taste. I want to drink it again. It is delicious!
I ran out of liquor, so I went to the convenience store to buy some.
I bought this one, which looked not so old and was sold in a box and seemed to be in good condition.
It was a bottle of Daikoku, which is not seen very often.
I thought it would be sweet because it is from Beian Daikoku, but it is dry.
I enjoyed it with my supper!

I will have another glass. This is also a good sake. It is sweet and delicious. Nagano is also deep, which I have never known before. I can understand the strength of the taste when I drink it with eggplant miso. Today was almost all Nagano. Thank you very much.
Ramune type
It was sweet and refreshing.
I don't remember much about it.
I don't remember much about it, so it may not have made a good impression on me.
It seems to go well with any meal.
Thank you very much.

I went around to see the shops.
Shinano Omachi Alps Plaza in Tachikawa
I bought a trial size 300ml.
I haven't drunk it yet, so how does it taste?
I'm looking forward to the label of "mellow, undiluted sake"!
I'll look forward to drinking it at night!
Kitayasu Jozo Junmai-shu, Omachi-city, Nagano, Japan
As the name suggests, it is a junmai sake recommended for heating sake.
First, as it is, it is delicious, but a little hard. The aroma and sweetness spread softly, and it turned into a different sake. It is a junmai sake with a gentle flavor.
Rice used: Hitogokochi Polishing ratio: 59
Yeast used: Association 701 Alcohol level: 16% Sake meter: -6 Acidity: 2.0
Amino acidity: 1.6
Fruity type
Juicy mouthfeel, young melon-like aroma, light carbonation, slight acidity and a little bitterness, not too sweet.
When heated, it has a strong banana and yogurt flavor.
