Yesterday, the first day of a three-day weekend, I spent a relaxing day off.
On a day like this, when I had nothing planned, I thought it would be nice to relax and drink at home from noon 🍶.
So I decided to open a bottle for lunchtime drinking on Saturday.
This is the first time to visit this brewery.
It is a Junmai Ginjo from Shinshu Meizou.
I have often seen this sake at Sake-no-Wa and wanted to try it.
So, let's start with the sake.
First, the aroma. It has a rich aroma of rice.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the full-bodied aroma of cooked rice. This may be the first time for me to taste this kind of aroma.
The taste has a soft sweetness and a firm umami that reminds one of rice.
It also has a nice smooth taste.
I don't feel much bitterness or pungency. If I had to say, I would say that there is a slight pungency in the aftertaste. I think it is about the same.
I felt that it was a new taste that I have never had before, with a strong drinking experience and a strong sense of rice flavor.
Overall, I thought it was a delicious sake with little stimulation, and one could immerse oneself in the umami of the rice.
It was really a great sake time and made me want to drink more and more Nagano sake.

Hello ma-ki-chan😃It's nice to have a lunchtime drink on the first day of a consecutive holiday 🍶😆And your first time at Shinshu Meinou, it looks very delicious! As the weather gets colder, sake with the taste of rice becomes even more delicious 👌I love Nagano's sake too ❣️

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
It certainly sounds delicious to warm up the rice flavorful sake a bit as the weather gets colder: ⤴️
I look forward to reading your Nagano sake posts 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
Kanae-chan! We got it on our trip to Nagano last year 🤗I think it was quite a spectacular one 😚.
You may think it's surprising 😅we've never had a lunchtime drink at our house 🥲 and I'd like to try it!

Jay & Nobby, thank you for your comments.
You two have each other's families, and I wonder if you don't get a chance to have a lunchtime drink every now and then 🍶.
If you ever get a chance to do so again, please do! It is an extraordinary experience 😊.

Thanks for your comment, Pon.
Sometimes daytime drinking is the best 🎵.
It was a good feeling to be able to linger for a day and enjoy some sake ✨.
I'm also grateful to have met Kanae-san through Sake-no-wa 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki-san 🌛.
You finally opened a bottle of Shinshu sake 😁.
And "Ding" 😋 I regret that I didn't buy it 😅 after I gave up buying it in tears and drank it on a different occasion.
