Hori
My name is Sayami from the Takamusume Sake Brewery.
Nakanojo Town in Gunma Prefecture, where the Kimasu Sake Brewery is located, is my hometown. The representative brand "Kimusume" has been familiar to me since I was a child, and even though I had never had it before, I always had an image of Kimusume when I thought of Japanese sake.
When I started drinking sake in earnest at the end of last year, I wanted to try Takamusume, so I looked it up and learned that this Sakiyami was the main brand name, and I was on the lookout for it.
I came across Koyama Shoten. There were about three different types with different specifications, but I chose this pink label, which is the most commonly seen.
When poured into a glass, it had a slightly thick and rich sweet aroma. The bubbles are very fine, as the label says to be careful when opening the bottle. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a fresh sweet and sour taste with a slight carbonation. The wave of bitterness slowly fades away as it tightens the sweetness in the mouth.
To be honest, I was surprised at how much better it tasted than I had imagined.
You may think I am patronizing my hometown, but it is a taste that comes pretty high up in my personal preference.
I am also interested in the Natsuyomi, which I would like to drink in the coming season, and the Usunigoromi, which I am sure will be delicious.
I would like to stop by the brewery when I return home.

Mr. Hori. Nice to meet you & good morning. Sakiyami is indeed delicious, isn't it? It is even more so when it is a sake from your hometown! The brewery, rice, water, and hometown are all packed into this sake.

Thank you for your comment, WOM. ‼️ Maybe it tastes even better because it is water and rice from the land where I was born and raised 😊.
I am starting to wonder about other sake from Gunma 🍶.

Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby. 🙇♂️ That area is quite rural, but I didn't realize you had neighbors!
I was unaware that I had never heard of such a delicious drink before. It's dark under the light 😅.
