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,

This is a Yamae-Nishiki brewery limited edition and test brew purchased at Suwa Mikotsuru Sake Brewery on a previous Yamanashi/Shinshu sake brewery tour 🎶😆 I have high expectations for this 🤤. Let's start with the aroma 🎶✨️It has a fruity ginjo aroma like a gorgeous apple🍎❔ lychee 🎶✨️ In the mouth, there is a slight sourness 🫧, sweet and sour with a bitter or spicy finish ❔, it's still delicious 🤤🎶 and the rich flavor of Yamae Nishiki rice (or is that just my imagination? 😆) is good ❗👍️Gokotsuru never fails to deliver.

I bought a limited edition at a brewery during my trip to Matsumoto. What's so different about Type R from the usual? I asked him and he said it was designed for circuit driving. I asked him what the difference was, and he said that it was made with the wrong yeast. I think it is less sweet and more refreshing than the usual one. The cellar is full, so I have to consume it as soon as possible! However, it's the season for year-end parties, isn't it?

Suwa Mikotsuru Brewery Mikotsuru, Miyamanishiki, ORIGARUMI, and beyond The aroma is mild and cider-like. The first sip is gassy, sweet and sour, and fresh. It is light, yet rounded and makes you want to savor it. It is really delicious, and it is from last year's grand prix winning brewery.

Fruity from the moment you open the bottle. Like grape skins. A slight carbonation-like stimulation. Sourness and umami that envelops the nourishment. This quality within a few hours of opening the bottle. It's a good thing it's a bottle!

Today we had Mikotsuru's Kinmon Nishiki 😀. This may be the last fire-brewed sake before the transition to nama-shu 🤣. I had a Yamadanishiki Miko-chan a while ago, but I still think I might prefer Miko-chan made with Nagano sake rice😇. The taste is much more subdued compared to the raw version, but it was still a delicious sake with a fruity feel 😇.

Hi Yasbay 🐦! Finally, the last one! And the last one is Goko-chan, who seems to be a Shinshu sake lover, Yasubeyesan and his friends😊. I also prefer Shinshu sake made with unique sake rice ❣️ because it suits the climate 🤔

Hi Pon-chan 😀 Maybe local sake rice goes well with sake after all😇. I'll postpone the start of the sake drinking year to Sunday because the liquor store informed me that the new sake from my favorite sake company will be in on Saturday 🤣.

A little bit of a drink in Fukushima! The train is about to depart, so it's time for the last drink. I was wondering what to do when I found Mikotsuru! I chose this one, and the waiter asked me if I wanted to go that way 😄I did indeed go from dry to fruity (lol), but I wanted to drink it, so I asked for it (lol). Now the aroma is fresh like apples and peaches. I don't even think it is fire-roasted. The taste is sweet and fruity and delicious. The sweetness is not unpleasant, and the end is beautiful. This is the best place to drop by in a little time 😄.

Yoshimura Sake Brewery in Tsuruma is our summer beer server. They have a great lineup of sake 👏I visited several times and told them I love the slightly gaseous taste and they recommended Mikotsuru which I was curious about so I tried it today 🙌Open the bottle and hit the button: ‼️ It is indeed a very slightly sparkling sake that I love ❤️ with a delicious soft sweetness 🍶 but... the sweetness doesn't cut it.... But...it's not for all time drinking...well, we have a lot of different sakes coming to our house now, so it's in the rotation 🙌

This is the first unfiltered raw sake I have ever tasted in my life. The first sip is fruity and moderately sweet with a sense of gas. The second half of the bottle has a lingering acidity and astringency that rises in the second half. I am very satisfied with it.

Kinmon-nishiki is a very unusual rice. Although it was born about 60 years ago, it has only been used in Nagano in earnest for the past 20 years. Until then, Fukumitsuya in Ishikawa Prefecture protected it and purchased all the rice they used. For more information, please visit SAKE street or other online sources. So, I tend to buy Kinmon-nishiki sake whenever I see it. This time it is Mikotsuru. Oh, there are cranes here, too. Gokotsuru" is a stable and tasty sake. To be honest, I don't have the palate to appreciate the quality of the rice, but the pleasant muscat-like aroma gives it a superb sweetness. Depending on the accompaniment, it also has a bitter taste. Delicious!
