MichiNabeshima is my favorite sake from Saga.
Since it is a small brewery, there are not many liquor stores that have Nabeshima. So I buy it as soon as I find it.
I happened to find this one when I went to Ogi City in Saga Prefecture to buy some carp wash.
I had never seen Nabeshima with this label before, and the price was just over 1,800 yen for a bottle, so I bought it right away.
The sake rice is Aizan. I was surprised that it really existed at such a price. I was surprised. The taste is not too strong and does not interfere with the food, but it has a good flavor and is easy to drink. We enjoy it with carp wash.
I asked other liquor stores that sell Nabeshima, but they said that Nabeshima's regular sake was rare and disappeared soon.
I went to the same liquor store again, but they changed the sake rice to Yamada Nishiki. Bummer. I wonder if I can find Aizan's ordinary sake again.
