This time we will have a different sake rice from "Mikotsuru" 🍶, which surprised us the first time we had it last time 😊.
I immediately opened the bottle and started to smell it...
The aroma is fruity, but not too sweet. ❤️
And then I'll have a sip 😋.
It's just as I imagined it would be⤴️
Delicious ❗️ but with a clean aftertaste 😋😋😋.
This is a bad one 😱.
I like it better than Yamae Nishiki. I'm sure 😍.
This is some badass sake I've come across 😅.
I think they have other sake rice too, so I'm off to the liquor store again 🚲.
Mikotsuru Activated Nigori Nama Sake
Today is July 11
Same as ICHIRO's number
I was able to celebrate my 51st birthday: ✌️
I brought back a bottle of sake from Nagano, Japan.
Which sake to drink on your birthday?
This is the only one.
I read the reviews of those who drank it.
During my last trip to Nagano
I wanted to take some home, but
I was unable to find it 😭
I saw this Mikotsuru Nigori in the fridge at the store.
The moment I saw it in the fridge at the store
I was so excited 😊.
First of all, it looks beautiful✨.
Shuwa shuwa fresh!
Refreshingly sweet and juicy with
Pleasant acidity.
There have been a lot of dry sakes recently, so
A taste I haven't had in a long time. ☺️
As the temperature rises
The overall flavor becomes stronger
A bit of bitterness can also be felt.
Pour a little at a time and drink it all up.
July 11 is
7-Eleven Day
and it is also Ramen Day.
available at 7-Eleven.
I tried a variety of ramen noodles
I tried a variety 😁.
Good morning Manta 😃
Happy Birthday to you ㊗️
I'm interested in Gokozuru, but I haven't been able to meet them because there is no place near me to buy their products 😢.
Hi Manta, I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble! I'm so happy for you 🙋.
Happy Birthday and best wishes to you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gokozuru is delicious 😁.
Oh, I'll have ramen for lunch 🍜! 👍
Hi Manta!

Goko-san's schwa looks beautiful and I have the impression that it's perfect for celebratory drinks 😊.
Sweet and juicy is my favorite so I hope to drink it someday 🤤.
Hi Manta 😃

Hi Manta 😃
Happy Birthday 🎉I get excited when I find a brand I've been looking for! I love the sweet and juicy Mikotsuru and Tomita ramen...and speaking of Tomita, I think I'll have the thick tsukemen 😍.
Hello Manta, ☀️
Happy Birthday 🎂㊗️🎊🎈This miko is delicious 😆 I didn't know there were so many ramen under Tomita's supervision 😳I wish you another fulfilling year of Ra-ikatsu and Sake-ikatsu 🥳.
Happy Birthday, Manta-san. ㊗️ Mikotsuru is delicious, isn't it? I'm sure it's even better when it's nigori sake. It's a perfect sake for your birthday 😊.
Happy birthday to Manta 🎂🎂㊗️🎉🎊Yes, ❣️Manta, you have the same birthday as my daughter 🤗🎉I don't have a daughter this year, but I will celebrate on my own 🥂🥳What shall I drink 😙.
Happy Birthday, Manta🎉!
I'm celebrating my birthday at the end of this month too🤣.
I have a strong image of Tomita at Seven-Eleven ✨.
Gokotsuru" nigori sake looks so delicious 🤤!
little boy
Thank you 🙇.
I can only drink Mikotsuru when I go to Nagano and can only take home the sake that's available at the time, but I'm glad I had this one this time ✨.
I can't stop eating ramen 🍜 until there is a Dr Stop 😁.
Mr. Manachy.
Thank you 🙇.
I buy a variety of Jiro-style ramen at the convenience store, but the pork ramen is always delicious ✨.
Please try our other ramen too ✌️
MA-KI-.
Thank you 🙇.
Rare sake for a birthday? I thought about it, but I'm glad I went with this sake because it looks great✨.
It's insanely delicious and I highly recommend it😊.
HinaHanaMama.
Thank you 🙇.
7 is for lenggae and 11 is for chopsticks, so it seems to be ramen day 😁.
Pork ramen is consistently delicious, but the golden thick tsukemen is also 👍.
ichiro18.
Thank you 🙇.
I was very happy when I saw this sake ✨.
I had the thick tsukemen at KITTE Marunouchi a few years ago, but it was too thick and the second half was tough 😢.
Personally, I prefer Rokurinsha👍.
Kotaro.
Thank you 🙇.
The drinks here are delicious ✨.
Yes, it is.
Tomita-san supervised, there were quite a few 😁.
We will enjoy both sake and ramen ✌️
Mr. Sashu
Thank you 🙇.
The Junmai Ginzan Yamae Nishiki Hi-ire that we drank last time was great, but this one was great too ✨.
It wasn't a rare sake, but it was good ☺️
Tsubu.
Thank you 🙇.
By the way, you mentioned in your birthday review comment last year that your daughter had a birthday too ✨.
What's the celebratory drink, I wonder: ☺️
Mr. Nochi.
Thank you 🙇.
I'm 51 years old for what it's worth 😁.
Presbyopia since a few years ago, my back doesn't hurt but my right shoulder hurts since a few months ago 😢.
Is it a 40 shoulder? Or is it a frozen shoulder?
Mr. Jive.
Thank you 🙇.
I'll be waiting for your birthday review: ☺️
Seven's chilled noodles = pork ramen: ✌️
Pork Ramen is delicious, but so is this drink 😊.
Pon.
Thank you 🙇.
When Ichiro retired, the uniform I bought when I went to see him play against the Giants in an exhibition match was put to good use: ✌️
I will enjoy both the sake and the rah-rah activities 😊.
On this day, we decided to drink what the young master told us to drink!
You can always find the regular sake (Tasake Tokusyu and Tobiroki Tokusyu) again!
Here it is next, the opening of the mouth!
Mikotsuru's Suwa Miyamanishiki, I've had the hi-ire version twice before, but this was the first time for me to have the unfiltered, unadulterated, unadulterated sake!
It is a rare sake that is hard to find (it was already a year ago)!
It has a deeper sweetness than the Purple Space 3.0!
It's so good, everyone must be looking forward to it!
Two of them have already posted in July on Sake-no-wa!
The main dish of the day!
At Mishina, you can only order sukiyaki by advance reservation and from a minimum of two servings!
The day before yesterday, I was selfish and asked them to make it for one person!
It was cooked in the kitchen to perfection and brought to the counter piping hot!
The sukiyaki was made with sweet wariage and rare sake, and the party was at its best!
The neighbor sometimes peeks at the sukiyaki!
The aroma wafting through the air made them curious!
I have never seen anyone eating sukiyaki at Mishina!
The meat is tender and exquisite!

I opened a bottle of Nagano sake...Jungin Gohyakumangoku from Gokotsuru.
So far, Gokotsuru has only used Nagano sake rice, so the dry nuance on the palate is a bit different from the Gokotsuru I've had so far 🤣.
But it's easy to drink with low alcohol content and the spiciness starts to soak into your body in no time at all 🤣.
The spiciness comes from the firm mouthfeel, and then it finishes off nicely, making it a very tasty sake 😀.
It was a little different from the usual Goko, but it was a delicious sake 😀.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
In my opinion, it was a delicious sake with nuances that set it apart from other junmai ginjos, and it seemed to be a dry sake with a firm, refreshing and umami taste 😀.
We tasted it at Nakamura Sake Shop, a famous local sake brewery in Togashira, Toride City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
My personal order of umami was Miyamanishiki, Sanke Nishiki, and Kinmon Nishiki.
Miyamanishiki is sharp while retaining its umami.
Kinmon-nishiki has a sweetness like ripe fruit with a hint of thickening.
Sankei-nishiki is the best in between.
It was hard to choose one over the other, but I bought the Miyamanishiki because it was served at an ambient temperature of 37° and I could feel a refreshing sensation.
My first Mikotsuru is a Junmai Ginjo of Yamae Nishiki.
I purchased this bottle in March when I was beginning to become interested in Nagano sake and visited Nagano Prefecture on an errand.
Mikotsuru is a relatively new sake brewery that restarted under a new structure in 2017 after once going out of business. It is interesting to note that the company is owned by a company in Fukushima Prefecture, the sake kingdom.
Sake from Nagano Prefecture, Shinshu Kamerei and Yamasan, which we recently drank, were rather light and thin in flavor, whereas Mikotsuru is a much darker and more drinkable type of sake.
It has a juicy, rich sweetness and a complex flavor with depth. It has a bitter taste in the latter half, and the refreshing alcohol gives it a crispness, making it a delicious sake as rumored.
I also like the label, which follows the image of a universal sake label, but seems to express a modern atmosphere with its use of color and gold foil letters. As I write this, the taste is exactly as it should be, a perfect balance of modern and classical aspects.
They also seem to offer different rice varieties and my favorite activated nigori sake, so I am sure this will be a brand I will continue to patronize in the future.
🍶It has a fresh apple-like and pear-like aroma, with an elegant sweetness and umami spread, and a slight gasiness and pleasant bitterness that is sharp and enjoyable to drink even in the hot summer 😍It will be gone soon too😅 lol.
I'm glad I got to drink it 🚗I regretted not stopping by the brewery when I visited Suwa Lake before so I'm glad I made love to you!
I'm glad I made love to it 🍶Place to buy it: Miyajima 💕, a local sake shop in Nagano
Mikotsuru, Junmai Ginjo by Kinmonniki
I had never had much experience with Kinmonnishiki sake, but this time I experienced it through Mikotsuru!
On the palate, it has a light, gaseous feel that is typical of Mikotsuru.
It has a calm impression with an elegant sweetness that is not dull.
The aftertaste is mellow and full of umami and bitterness.
It is very pleasant to drink. ✨️
The mild sweet aroma of bananas
The sweet aroma of bananas on the nose is also good☺.
It was a beautiful sake that made me want to savor it with my eyes closed!
