Thank you all for your hard work. This year is almost over. This time, we will be drinking a sake from Shichisho Shuzo in Nagano Prefecture. Nagano Prefecture is famous for its Miyamanishiki, and it seems that this sake is made from Miyamanishiki grown by the brewery and contract farmers. The aroma has a strong ginjo flavor, but the taste is light and has a nice crispness. (The label says "faint aroma", but I personally feel that the aroma is also quite strong. This is one of the interesting aspects of sake. I've heard that in Nagano Prefecture, sake is often paired with foods with strong flavors, such as miso and pickles, so there are many sake with strong aromas and flavors. This sake has a strong aroma, but the taste is relatively light, so it is classified as a "kunshu" in the recent classification. Since it has a strong aroma, we paired it with smoked gizzards. It is quite a good marriage. If you drink the sake by itself, you may feel that it is a little sweet because of the strong ginjo aroma, but I feel that the potential of this sake can be brought out by pairing it with snacks that have an impact.
