The attack is sweet, and the peculiar and peculiar ginjo aroma is not my personal taste.
It's like a bran-like aroma. I sometimes encounter sake with this kind of aroma, but I still don't like it!
The Tsukiyoshino sake I usually drink is much better!
Tsukiyoshino's Tsukimi ni Ippai, Special Junmai
Rating 4.4
The autumn chapter of female Touji Mami Wakabayashi's "Tsukimi ni Ippai" - inspired by the famous mid-autumn moon.
This is a limited-edition autumn sake that is shipped after the special junmai sake, Tsukiyoshino's signature sake, has been fire-aged for one time.
It has a round and gentle flavor that has matured over the summer. It has a moderately firm body, with a flavor that is umakuchi to slightly dry, acidic, and crisp, and can be enjoyed cold or warmed.
Recommended as an accompaniment for long autumn evenings.

On Monday, we went from Oku-Nikko to Numata, had vegetable tempura zaru soba at Kusabue Ueda for lunch, stopped by a liquor store in Ueda and a liquor store in Chikuma, and opened the bottle when we got home.
We stopped at Yanagimachi on Saturday, so we did not stop there on the way home. I regret it now😅.
I stopped by the brewery store in Tsukiyoshi on Saturday, but it was closed.
I would like to visit there again when the sake is new.
The sake is rather strong and drinkable. Not too light, not too heavy, just right.
Good evening, @Mizuhashi🍶.
Tsukiyoshi's is closed on weekends and holidays, right?
I checked because I'm planning to go there at the end of the month.
I love drinking sake with vegetable tempura too 😊.
It goes well with sake 😉.
Good morning, Matsuchiyo 😃.
I'm looking forward to staying in Ueda for 2 nights at the end of the month 😊.
I'm planning to attend the Joetsu Sake Festival at the end of the month and then a day trip to Shinshu on Sunday 🫡.
If I can get my senior companion to agree, I will go to Ueda, Bessho Onsen and Chikuma 😉.

A clear and refreshing drink. It is not an addition but a subtraction. Clean with no cloying taste. It will have a nice flavor when heated. How about it for a long autumn night?

Tsukiyoshino is brewed by a young female toji, Mami Wakabayashi. This time, the challenge is a Junmai Daiginjo made entirely from Yamae-Nishiki produced in Nagano Prefecture and polished to 49%.
It has a gorgeous nose reminiscent of peaches and muscats.
It has a smooth texture with no cloying taste, a refreshing spread of sweetness, a mild umami and a beautiful acidity with a smooth, mildly bitter aftertaste.
Compared to last year's hanpukai, this wine is much tastier! A week after the bottle is uncorked, the flavor is more lively, and the umami and crisp acidity are even more pronounced!
Tsukiyoshino no Midori Unfiltered Nama Sake
We came to Yakitori Bancho, Ueda Ekinaka Branch.
We had to wait for 30 minutes because the restaurant was full.
A set of 6 local sake breweries in Ueda to compare ^ ^.
It's so exciting, isn't it?
We also visited the brewery store, but it was closed that day 😭.
Yakitori goes well with Ueda's sake 🍶😋.
Can be used as an aperitif.
It is easy to drink and refreshing on the palate.
However, as you continue drinking, the sweetness spreads in your mouth.
It is not too thick, not too sweet, not too spicy, and is very good when drunk with sake.

The aroma is like green apple with a hint of sourness.
The first sip is full of sweetness and umami. Bitter aftertaste.
Then, it leaves with a refreshing taste. Delicious!
The label evokes the image of "Fifteen Nights".

Rating 4.4-4.5, 4.5
The aroma is mellow and wasanbon-like. Mellow. Slightly thicker body. Yamae Nishiki? The acidity is also effective, but the aftertaste is also mellow. After a while, the aftertaste becomes dry. Goes well with autumn dishes. Warmed sake is very tasty with a good balance of mattari, sweet and sour. Easy to match with autumn dishes.

Rating 4.4-4.5
Slightly mellow aroma with a laid-back feel. Sweetness and umami. The taste is clear and free of any unpleasant taste. The acidity is moderate but mild, with a soft citrus flavor. Yamada Nishiki?
It was a bottle that I appreciated in the current lingering summer heat, which has the good points of a light daiginjo rather than an autumn sake.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
