The first time I drank fire-brewed Mikotsuru was delicious, so I chose unfiltered raw sake 🍶Gohyakumangoku♪ Both the aroma and mouthfeel are fruity like Gohyakumangoku♪ The aftertaste is sharp with a good amount of bitterness! The bitterness is not to everyone's liking............................................It is also good as a food sake. ⭕️ It's very fresh only because it's a fresh sake 🍶! Nagano sake 🍶 is high quality 🤔.

The first Mikotsuru! Aroma: A hint of fruity rice aroma... sweetness on the palate, followed by an aftertaste of just the right amount of bitterness! Aftertaste from the sweetness...good bitterness to a sharp finish! I like the sweet, mellow, umami taste of Nagano sake 🍶... Nagano sake never fails me 🎵Yummy 😋 Hey... this too... there was some delicious looking "raw bonito" so I had this with it... the "fat" was so rich that you would never guess it was bonito this time of the year... I'd like to try the unfiltered raw one next time,

Green apple? There is a fresh ginjo aroma like green apple, and a calm and subdued rice aroma typical of Yamae-Nishiki. In the mouth, there is a slight bubbling sensation and it feels fresh. Fresh fruitiness (green apple?) and juicy sweetness. In the second half, the acidity breaks off nicely and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing. Yes, this is good!

Tonight's sake is "Gokotsuru's" recent favorite, "Gohyakumangoku". Starting with the fruity type, it finally moved to the dry type! I'll have some right away. The aroma is refreshing and mature, but because it is dry, you can imagine the spiciness of ⁉️ 😋. One sip 🍶. It's ❗️ dry and refreshing! I guess it's dry... I'd say it's more like "refreshing"... It's delicious, but I think Gokotsuru's fruity style is more to my liking 😍.

I drank it at an izakaya and enjoyed it so much that I bought some myself! I've been drinking a lot of Nagano sake lately. It is rich but has a clean aftertaste! It's very satisfying, but you don't get tired of drinking it, as you would expect.

Mikotsuru Junmai Ginjo Activated Nigori Namaeshiki 720ml Rice used: 100% Yamae-Nishiki Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol 15%. On the second day at the inn in Saku, we opened the bottle of Miko-chan Activated Nigori. Outside on the terrace, looking at the stars 🌟. I opened and closed it about 5 times, so it's a fairly healthy one. I finally found it this season 😘. There were 3 of us so it was about 2 glasses per person 😋. I also bought a bottle of Yamazan sparkling, but I didn't open it and took it home... â

Good evening, Harry 🌆. It was after the Bon vacations, so it seemed like they had sold quite a few, but there were a few bottles left 😉 I was able to take some home. It was delicious 😋.

I've been there. I didn't raise my drink in May 😓. I was looking at the pictures and remembered 😭😭😭 So I'm going to raise it ✨ First up, Gokozuru from ☝️ I vaguely remember it being a clear, dry sake 😄. It's like a food sake 😊.

This year, too, I made a tour of sake breweries in Nagano Prefecture during the Obon holidays. I bought Gokotsuru last year and enjoyed it so much that I bought it again this year. We immediately drank it at the hotel where we stayed. This Gokozuru is also easy to drink and tastes great. 858 yen

The full-bodied sweetness is impressive, but the gasiness and the bitterness in the latter half of the flavor make it not dull. It is firmly sweet, so it might be better to enjoy it on its own. I would like to try other specs as well, as I personally prefer it.

My friend raved about this sake, Gokotsuru. I had never heard of it until he told me about it, and I thought it looked austere and was a good old-fashioned sake, but when I drank it, I found it to be modern! It tastes too good to keep drinking all the time.
