The second drink at the soba noodle shop was a super dry one from Dai-Shinshu
Although it has little sweetness, it is still delicious with a modern fruity taste.
It went well with soba noodles!
A locally distributed limited edition given to me by a junior who loves Taishinshu.
It has a strong sweetness that lingers a little, but its beautiful flavor is as expected of Daishinshu.
Personally, I think it is better when it is cooled down to the level of snow-cold.

Sweet! Floral! Delicious!
The staff at Nishikawa-san told us about the most recent sake they enjoyed!
As I thought, it is recommended and delicious!
It was nice to meet you, but I thought this was a good idea! Thanks 😊
On my way home from work, I took an unusual route home and discovered a charming liquor store in Jimbocho!
Since1903! Koujiya Sake Shop!
They have a huge selection of Daishinshu, which I had always wanted to drink but had never been able to find!
I was so excited that I walked around the store!
I couldn't carry more stuff, so I tried a small bottle this time.
It was the right choice! The super dry junmai ginjo is no lie!
The Daishinshu of my dreams. The best encounter I've ever had. It was delicious and I will go back to buy more!
The Daishinshu field-specific series, which I drank at a store once before and was impressed by its extraordinary taste.
This is another bottle from a different area.
The rice is Kinmon-nishiki, the same as the Shinshu Kamerei we just drank.
This is a complete coincidence.
However, the flavor vectors are quite different.
The Daishinshu is rather dry and crisp.
Even so, the fresh, mineral-rich mouthfeel that is typical of Nagano sake can still be felt, and the taste is clean and dry, but still very drinkable.
It seems that this series is probably only available in one bottle, but even so, I would definitely buy it if I saw it.
I was blessed with a good encounter.
At Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
The master and I had a lot of fun talking about Nagano Prefecture. Sake breweries, food, hot springs, etc.
A moderate ginjo aroma and the flavor of rice spreads. Elegant and clean taste.
Juicy and light.
Today, I bought another Yaebaru Junmai Daiginjo, which is different from the one that was prepared for the competition! It is not only refreshing and gorgeous, but also sweeter than expected, like a dessert sake...
I served it with sashimi of horse mackerel and sea bass, salad of potherb mustard and radish, and yesterday's stewed pork and horse chestnuts!
