寿梨庵
Uonuma no Sato is a theme park-like facility operated by Hakkai Brewery in Nagamori, Minamiuonuma City🌲.
It's been a while since I visited and this time I made a reservation to take a tour of the snow cellar: ❄️
The last stop was a tasting included in the tour price at the tasting area 🌲.
Junmai Daiginjo, three years in snow storage
The basic taste is light and dry, but it has a strong, concentrated core. There is no obvious fruitiness, but a strong umami of rice (clear but mellow), which is the result of the aging process.
There is also a characteristic that is hard to describe that I feel is common to other sake stored in the snow 🤔.
And what a surprise, we were able to try a paid tasting of the rice whiskey before it went on sale ✨10ml for 500 yen. We were lucky to join the tour 🤗.
A side note 🐍.
I recommend the soba noodle shop in the facility 😋.
