Nagano Sake Festival (6)
Thanks to the fact that I've been playing Nigorinpic for so long, I couldn't get to it, but finally I'm opening a bottle of sake from the Nagano Sake Hanpukai that I started in April this year 😀.
I like the fact that the contents are a secret, so you can drink it without any preconceived notions 😇.
The only thing we know about this sake is that it is also made with Yamae-Nishiki and that it is a sake made with a raw yeast yeast 🤣.
Our family's score is 11 out of 15 😇.
The aroma is moderate and the taste is on the dry side for our family, but the rich umami wraps around the dryness well, making it easy to drink and highly rated as a food sake 😀.
This kind of dry sake is delicious 😇
Hi Yasbay 🐦!
Finally, it's time! It's fun not knowing what's inside... I'm really biased so I like the idea of a distribution 😊.
And I've never met you here 😳The Yamae Nishiki Shokunin type looks delicious too!
Good evening, Pon 😀.
I have no information at all except the sake rice, so I can enjoy it without any preconceptions😇
I'm always biased when it comes to sake selection, so I think the hanpukai is a fun way to expand your world of sake 😀.
I hope you'll give it a try too 🤣.
Hi Yasbay 😃.
It's nice to taste sake that you wouldn't normally buy 😋 and discover something new 🤗.
After all, you are getting closer and closer to the world of dry sake 😄.
Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
I'm very thankful for the hanpukai system, which allows us to try new tastes, even if we are not brave enough to try new tastes 🤣.
I like the dry world too 😇.......but the basic taste is sweet and fruity!
Sake given to me by my father in Nagano.
Kurosawa = dry image.
When I opened it, I smelled the aroma of wine 🍷 I wondered if it was a white wine type. I thought it might be a white wine, but it was more like brandy. It was dry, with almost no sweetness.
It looks quite strong 💪 The label says it is 18 degrees Celsius. I see 🧐I wonder if it can be heated in winter? The only other sake with a similar taste that I can recall is a sake I had about 10 years ago from Kosasaya Chiketsuru. I bought that one for heating sake in the winter. It was so long ago that I can no longer rely on anything!
I'll have a sip and sip. ❗️
Shortly after opening the bottle, it was delicious, with a white wine-like aroma, light mouthfeel, moderate sweetness, and a lingering citrus-like bitterness 😆.
Where to buy 🍶: Kurosawa Sake Brewery Shop
I bought this sake on a trip to Nagano.
I had to buy it because it said it was the store owner's top recommendation! So I bought it. ‼️
Let's start with the aroma!
It has a faint oke (vat) aroma, which is typical of sake with a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. Wood? Wood? The aroma is like a wood or a forest,
Now, take a sip: ‼️
This is delicious. ‼️ It's a bit sweet and juicy! It's sweet and juicy and tastes great on the tongue. ‼️ I can see why the owner recommends it!

I tend to buy things when it says "limited edition" or "carefully selected" 😅.
I opened the bottle thinking it must be great 🍶.
Smooth mouthfeel😙.
Slight sourness 😛.
Slight carbonation 🫧.
I thought it would be harder because of the blaming, but it was simply a nice cohesive sake with the deep flavor of the sake yeast 😊.
Hi Hiro, hello.
I know what you mean about reacting to limited or carefully selected 😁✨.
I've never seen Kurosawa-san in person, but it looks like it would be easy to pair with a meal 😋.
Hi ma-ki-😄
I guess you still react to ❣️ "Selected" and "Limited", so it can't be helped 🤣.
Kurosawa-san is a good food sake 🍚😋.
I agree with you too 🤝.
A faint calpis or yogurt-like aroma was detected.
The mouthfeel is refreshing.
There is no sweetness, but a moderate sourness and umami.
It has a strong bitterness, but it is sharp and has a refreshing impression with a gaseous feeling.
4/5
KUROSAWA NAMAHASHIJUNMAI NATSUSEI 720ml
Rice used: Nagano sake brewing rice
Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 13.5
I chose this sake because of the hydrangeas in my garden.
It is a delicious summer sake ☀️ that is tasty and minerally 😋.
When you finish this one, you can see a Saku carp on the back label 😋. It's a good playful idea.
This kind of playfulness is nice 😄.
Hi @Mizuhashi 🐦.
Very beautiful blue hydrangea ✨It's very chic that you chose the inspiration from it 😊It made me feel a little cooler seeing the flower and the label🎶.
Thank you, Pon 😊.
I guess it's important to have time to look at different blooming flowers throughout the four seasons 😄.
But as a matter of fact, hydrangea blue! There was a sake with this color label, wasn't there?
That's about the extent of it😅
Forgot to bring it up, half of the log is gone.
Mellow syrup sweet acid, sweet and tasty.
It is 13.5 degrees but has a strong flavor.
It is the kind of wine you want to drink in a glass and cool it down.
Degree of liking ☆3/5
Today's sake is Kurosawa's Namaishige Junmai 80 Usu Nigori from Sakuho, Nagano Prefecture❗️ and it is effervescent, so the plastic bottle I transferred it to is also distended❗️
The aroma is a fresh sweet aroma of nama-shu❗️As you take a sip, you will feel a tingling sensation on your tongue and a sharp sweetness❗️And then comes the spiciness❗️A good sake as a mealtime sake⭕️
