This is a mature sake that was stored in a room dam in Sakuho-machi and passed through last summer. Normally, stored sake is fire-aged, but this one is called "Nama-nazake". It is dark and round.
Kurosawa Namikoshi Junmai 80
Rated 4.4-4.3
Rice: Hitogochi, Polishing ratio: 80%, Yeast: 901
Brewed with low whiteness, it has sweetness, umami, and a smooth taste that can only be achieved with nama-moto. The profile is a little firm with a sake strength of +8, and it expands and improves when heated.
The second cup was also Kurosawa from Nagano. The proprietress herself went to the brewery and bought it. I had to try it. I was also interested in the vintage. The taste and acidity are slowly and gently. It is a vintage, but it is not peculiar. Thank you very much.
Rice-like aroma.
Sweet and sour when you include it!
Wine, like plum juice or dried apricots.
Heavy acidity reminiscent of Mai-Bijin.
The texture is refreshing due to the acidity, but it is a rice flavor with body.
I like it surprisingly.
Taste level 3.5/5

I was opening the metal before opening the lid and it went off halfway through.
I've always been a fan of gassy liquors, but this is out of the ordinary.
It's carbonated!
It's right up my alley.
Not sweet, dry, very nice.
I was surprised.
Junmai Sparkling (test brew)

This was also served at Miyajima-san last month. It was opened and closed three times until the bottle was opened.
Fine bubbles 🫧, slightly sweet and sour. Of course it is delicious 😋.
Well, I'm off to Ueda for one night and Oku-Nikko for one night from today ^ ^.
I'm off on a trip to a brewery, a liquor store, and a hot spring ♨️ 🫡.
@Mizuhashi, hello!
Shuwa shuwa shuwa shuwa is a very energetic sake and the label is beautiful 🎵.
I hope you're already in Nagano and touring the various breweries 😁✨.
I can only imagine the bliss of a hot spring and a cup of sake in the evening 😍!
Have fun 🤗
