This is Sekizen's Cosmos Hiyoroshi🌸.
Sake made with cosmos flower yeast 🍶.
It seems to be from a brewery or agricultural university .
The top aroma is sweet with a hint of banana.
I was relieved because I had the impression that cosmos doesn't smell that good lol.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a slight sweetness and mild umami.
It was refreshing for a hiyaoroshi.
It was delicious 🌸🍶✨️
The third picture is of the Nishi-Iida Sake Brewery, located about 5 minutes by cab from Kawanakajima Station on the JR Shinonoi Line.
They currently make about 400 koku of sake.
Even from Nagano station it was only about 5km away, so I took a rental bike (electric assist) at the station and made the round trip in a little over an hour, light.
The fourth picture shows the flow of the Saigawa River that runs by the brewery.
Upstream of the Saigawa River are the Azusa River flowing from Kamikochi and the Takase River flowing through Azekino.
It means that the water is the same with Oshinshu and Iraka (Japanese tile roof) 🙄.
Incidentally, the Saigawa River merges with the Chikuma River, and when it enters Niigata Prefecture, it changes its name to the Shinano River and empties into the Sea of Japan.

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 🌙
I am learning a lot about the river situation! I'm sure the breweries in this water system have good quality water 🙌Maybe the toji-san in Iraka loves the taste(?) of this river 🤔. I think the master brewer of Iraka may like the taste(?) of this river 🤔.

Good evening Kotaro-san 🍶.
I'm sorry, I wrote that in a rather large lump 😅.
In fact, if you use subterranean water, the geology of the ground has a lot to do with the mineral content 🤔.
