Mikotsuru Suwa Miyamanishiki Junmai Ginjo Hi-ire
Purchased after being allowed to compare a draft and a hi-ire at a department store tasting held at the brewery's store.
I was convinced that the raw version was definitely better, but to my surprise, I preferred the fire-brewed version.
The brewer told me that the reason for this is because they use advanced technology to do the hi-yoke process.
I see, that makes a lot of sense.
It is light and refreshing, but has a deep sweetness and umami base, with a hint of bitterness and spiciness that comes through beautifully later, making it extremely delicious.
The only sake brewery in Shimosuwa. I wondered why the manufacturer was a transportation company in Fukushima, and was told that it was because the business was once closed down and then revived through succession.
Unlike what I imagined from the label and the "dry" name, the taste on the palate is sweet and sour with a mellow apple flavor. The aftertaste is dry and spicy with a sharpness and a gassy feeling on the tip of the tongue. This is delicious.
This time we had a mini-bottle due to the time we spent there, but next time I'd like to take my time to select a bottle of No. 4.
Sweet and juicy!
It has a fresh, crisp taste and is delicious!
I had a heavy impression of the ones I've had so far, but this one is moderately easy to drink!
Continuing from last weekend's sake brewery tour with my drinking buddies 🎶🍶🍶I enjoyed the activated nigori❄ from Mikotsuru at a restaurant I used to frequent with these buddies 🎶🤤 so I decided to visit this brewery and try some 🎶🍶.
We started with Yamae Nishiki.
The aroma is not quite as floral as it should be, but it has a fruity ginjo aroma 😆✨️
The taste is quite rich, sweet and juicy, and the mouth is full of umami.
Next, Hitogokochi!
The aroma is also a fruity ginjo aroma 😆✨️
The taste in the mouth is elegant and fruity 🎶🎶.
Finally, Yamadanishiki
The aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma this time ~✨️
In the mouth, it is like a combination of Yamanishiki and Hitogokochi 🎶.
🎶Mikotsuru really is delicious 💕🤤And now I have another favorite 💕Of the three, Yamae Nishiki is my personal favorite 🎶😉😉.
In case you're wondering, I bought the active nigori (lucky I was the last one left 🎶) and the unfiltered raw unadulterated Yamae-nishiki, which is limited to the brewery 🎶🍶.
Hi Pika!
I'm sure you can't miss your favorite brewery when you are touring around 😁.
I was told that Mikotsuru is delicious when I first started sakéwasan, and after reading this review, I want to drink it more and more someday 😋!
I was very curious about this sake after reading your review of Sake no Wa. I finally got to see it... ♪
It has a ripe, sweet aroma of apples and melons, with an elegant taste of sweetness and acidity. I felt a sense of gas and a little bitterness in the second half. It is juicy sweet and delicious.
This is my favorite one. Thanks for the treat 😁.
Purchased from a brewery in Suwa.
Refrigerated and gassy, popped when opened.
Slightly sweet mouthfeel.
No habit, but refreshing.
It was served with grilled salt fish and simmered flounder.
We enjoyed it with grilled swordfish and simmered flounder.
The last Mikotsuru sparkling nigori undiluted sake of this season
This is the fourth bottle I buy whenever I see it.
It's still hot and humid, so I'm happy to have a bottle that goes down my throat!
Let's meet again next season 😊.
It's still hot and humid even though it's autumn!
But the autumn swordfish have come out and they say the catch is plentiful this year!
Supermarket prices have come down too.
I'll have summer edamame, autumn swordfish and miko!
Good evening, Harry.
I stopped by Yokouchi Sake Shop on Sunday.
I parked my car in a nearby coin-operated parking lot and just dashed off to shop 🏃➡️
It was late in the evening, so it looked like they were selling quite a bit in the fridge 😄.
Good evening, @Mizuhashi🌇.
I saw that you had quite a hard day of hunting for alcohol? Maybe 🚗? It's great ❗️ now it's mainly fall up and yokouchi is also waiting for the new sake, I can't wait 😁.
It is sweet and juicy, but somewhat light, probably because it is an active sake!
If I wanted, I would have liked a little more gasiness, but it's umamama enough!
