Mikotsuru Activated Nigori Nama Sake
It's Miko-chan again without a pause!
Sorry, someone please stop me😅.
Well-balanced with a delicious sweetness.
It was comfortable to drink and we both drank it up!
I wonder if I can ignore it next time I see it..,
The third one is a shot with the high school baseball game that just started!
It's hot, but the players and the spectators are doing their best 👍!

It's fruity, and even after swallowing it, you can still feel the sweetness on your tongue, so it doesn't feel too dry.
Fruity, refreshing, sweet, and bitter all come together to make a very tasty drink!

I returned safely to my home in Morioka from the Hachinohe, Aomori, Hirosaki route. In a way, I felt like I had circled Aomori in a roundabout way. In such a case, here's a shwack: ☺️
Let's start with the standing aroma. It has a koji (malted rice) taste and a sake-kasu (sake lees) aroma, which is characteristic of muddy sake. When you put it in your mouth, it has a gaseous feeling and is like calpis with a moderate sweetness. Easy to drink 😁.
Serve with fried shrimp. The combination of this sake and the tartar with lemon (🍋) makes the drink rich and refreshing 😆 I think I will be able to sleep well today 😇
Rice variety: 100% Yamae-Nishiki.
Polishing ratio] 50%.
Alcohol content】15度
Snacks] Fried shrimp 🍤 [Tax included

Mikotsuru Activated Nigori Nama Sake
100% Yamae-Nishiki, Polishing ratio 50%, 15%.
I buy it when I see it.
It is my second bottle this year.
It's so sweet and juicy!
But I have to say, is the price going up every year?
I wonder if the sake rice is having a hard time.
Will it be more difficult next season? That's a problem.
Hang in there beetles don't let the heat get to you ❗️

Good evening, Harry 😃.
I knew you went for the second one 😋.
I know the price increase is unavoidable to some extent 🥲...
I see a lot of beetles 🌈 in the sake straw world 😅but maybe I haven't seen beetles in nature for a while 🤔.

Good morning, Harry 🌞.
Is this your second bottle right away 👀 I love it!
Really though, what will happen to the sake rice this year😅.
I heard that in some areas the rice is dying 🌾 due to lack of water.

Hi Harry 🐦.
I'm so imagining that it's you Harry when I see this miko 😊.

I bought a limited edition sake at Gokotsuru Sake Brewery!
This is a test brew version of the Jungin Yamae Nishiki Type R. I don't know exactly what the difference is, nor do I know how it tastes compared to the regular Yamae Nishiki I've had before. I don't know what the difference is, and I don't know how it tastes different from the regular version I drank before.
It is pleasantly fruity, with a clean minerality and a nice sweetness without any cloying flavor. It is a fruity wine that goes well with meals.
Sake rice→100% Yamae-Nishiki
Polishing ratio→50

This week we will be in Nagano from Monday. It's hot.
I was wandering around a liquor store and found this one. It was expensive, but I wanted to drink it! So I bought it. I drank it last year, too, at the same hotel 😊.
First, just the supernatant.
It's not too sweet and it's so refreshing that I could drink it all by itself. But that would be a waste, so I stirred it and drank it. It became thicker, but I didn't feel it lingering in my mouth at all, and I enjoyed it chibi-chibi with a sweetness closer to sourness. It was delicious.
It's summer vacation, right? The number of office workers is decreasing. On the Shinkansen in the morning, a lady sitting next to me was immediately enjoying a glass of shuushu🍺. I love it.

Good morning!
It's hard to eat lunch when you're hungry next to the bullet train and drink beer while we're working 🤣I'd like to try Gokotsuru's Nigori 🤤.

Hi Ane ^_^
Thanks for your work 🙇.
The drinks here are delicious ☺️
I don't have a summer vacation either, but I think I'll have a posh 🍺 on the train tomorrow after my night shift 😁.

Good morning, kozo!
Usually no one puffs on it, but during ski season and summer vacation, the smell of alcohol fills the air 💦 It's a limited edition sake, so if you find it, buy it immediately!

Good morning, Manta 😃.
I hope you finished your psht time successfully. The bar I went to yesterday had some, but I think the best time to taste this alcohol is when you buy it and open the bottle yourself 😊.

I always stop by the brewery when I go back home, and this time I was able to get a bottle of unfiltered raw Yamae-Nishiki, a resource brewed product.
It is a little drier than the fire-aged Yamae-Nishiki Jungin we had the other day. It has a refreshing throat feel, as one would expect.
The petitiveness that is common in Mikotsuru's sake is moderate, but the flavor is good and it is a delicious sake.
As one would expect from Mikotsuru!

I purchased a limited edition sake from the Mikotsuru Sake Brewery!
The sake is said to be a blend of Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo made from Yamadanishiki and laid to rest.
The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. It has a complex, rich flavor, and is mellow and gorgeous. Is this the atmosphere of an expensive Junmai Daiginjo?
The aftertaste leaves a pleasant bitterness from the sweetness.
With tsumami, it is surprisingly refreshing with a touch of acidity, and the bitterness gives it a sense of sharpness.
Sake rice → 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Azumino
Polishing ratio→50
Alcohol content: 16%.

I've always wanted to try Mikotsuru.
My favorite liquor store doesn't carry it, but I found it as a return gift for my hometown tax payment 👆.
So, let's open the bottle ⚾.
It's a nice sound, is it fire-aged?
It's so fresh that I can't believe it's fire-brewed 👏.
The aroma is elegant 💕
Soft on the palate, with just the right amount of sweetness. The balance with the acidity is exquisite, and the aftertaste is smooth and pleasant ✨.
It seems dry but it's not at all, the end is dry and fades away, but the aroma is good, the sweetness is good, it's great 😍.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting a Gohyakumangoku, but here I am 🙇.
Gokotsuru is too good💕.
I'm already going to pay my hometown tax to Suwa City again this year 💸.

This sake was served at the Mikotsuru Sake Brewery's tasting and was only available in casks at that time. Brewed with sake rice grown in the Suwa region, it is extremely delicious with an aroma, mellow sweetness, and a sharp finish. I bought a bottle and took it home to try again at home. Perhaps the storage temperature was not warm enough, but the taste was mild and mild, which was also good.

Mikotsuru Sake Brewery is located in Shimo-Suwa, on the shore of Lake Suwa. The brewery was originally owned by Hishiyu Brewery in the same area, but after the bankruptcy of Hishiyu Brewery and the succession of the business by Ban-ei Transport in Fukushima, it became a popular brewery. The revival by a different industry is reminiscent of Saga's Koei-Kiku.
It was bottled in March 2024 and shipped in April 2025, so it appears to have been aged at low temperature for nearly a year.
It has a strong fruit-like sweetness and flavor, and is dark and smooth. It is a flavor I like, but it is a bit long, so it is best to savor it in small doses.
The third picture shows Lake Suwa (the statue of Princess Yaegaki), which I visited before.

At a tasting at Mikotsuru Brewery. Brewed with sake rice grown in the Suwa region, it is extremely delicious with an aroma, mellow sweetness, and sharp aftertaste. We purchased a bottle to take home.
The sake is only available in casks, but it is said that the sake in casks varies depending on the time of year, so each time you visit, you may find a different sake, or sometimes the same sake as the last time.

Tonight I opened the second bottle with too much energy 😱.
I'm about to take the bullet train back to Osaka 💦...
This is all because my daughter and her husband are coming in the evening 😅.
However, she's been a good sister to me, so I'll start by thanking her 🙇.
My sister has been working for 3 months, but she seems to be under a lot of stress, so she invited my sister to go to Shizuoka Gyoza (Shizuoka Gyoza) for a bullet tour.
It's a super hard schedule 🗓️😅(It's nice to be young💦)
So they brought us some souvenirs and invited us over for dinner to start a hurried second round.
My daughter-in-law is getting into the sake swamp, and we chose "Mikotsuru" 😊.
My father-in-law was scrambling to stock up on a variety of sake 💦 as it seemed he hadn't settled on a guess yet😱.
Please refer to yours for the taste of the sake 🙇🙇.

Good evening, Mr. Baum 🌉The first Mikotsuru I ever drank was this girl. And it was also this girl who made the izakaya shinkansen 😍 my first love was also this girl lol.
It's delicious, isn't it? It's delicious 😋.
Personally, I like to pair it with yakisuri from Sakiyoken ✌️

Hey Baum, I'm with you 😃.
