For a mellow aroma, Fruity sweetness. Compared to "Daishinshu", It has a clean aftertaste, It has a more refined taste.

Limited brand of Daishinshu: 🇯🇵 Buy it during your pilgrimage to the Holy Land✨. Only about 10 dealers carry this brand. You can find anything in the Holy Land........ 🤣. The ginjo aroma is green apple 🍏. It's been a long time since I've had a Daishinshu, but we share the same aroma 😤. I wonder if the sake rice is Hitogokochi or Miyamanishiki? (→ later I checked and it was Hitogochiki 😳) The balance of sweetness and umami, and then acidity to finish is perfect🤣.

Rice used is Dewa Sanzan As indicated by the alcohol content of 19 degrees, it is a gut-punching wine. ‼️ And it has the same throat and mouthfeel as you would expect from Muroka Nama-no-Hara Sake. The sweetness also comes through perfectly. It has a great impact, but it is sharp and has a clean finish, so it does not feel too heavy. However, if you drink it too fast, it will take its toll later on. It was a fun drink. ❣️

Next, we open a bottle of "Izutsucho"! When the bottle is opened, there is not much of an aroma, but there is a coffee-like aroma, such as café au lait, that can be detected. The palate is light, but the taste is milky and milky. There is also a bitter and astringent taste, which gives the sensation of drinking a green tea latte 🍵. THE caffeinated beverage! This is so addictive👍

Dam Mature! With the cooperation of Nagano Prefecture and Sakuho Town, we are experimenting, researching, and promoting the use of the audit corridor of the prefectural room dam built for flood control in the blessed nature of Shinshu, not only as an effective use of existing facilities, but also as a method that reduces energy load and is distinct from the standardized storage method of refrigeration. Experiments and research on storage and maturation over the summer are conducted and released! The pleasantly soft mouthfeel and gorgeous gin aroma are bright and mellow, and the depth of flavor has increased over the summer.

Sweet and sour, faintly effervescent, with a delicious sweet aroma. No oakyness. Kurosawa nama-hashiroshi tokubetsu junmai nama sake mixed with some kind of sake. It tastes awfully good. Kurosawa Shuzo Autumn Sake Brewery Open House 2025/10/4 (Sat) 9:30-15:00 The tasting starts 5 minutes before 9:30, so it's pretty loose. Suki. Sake lees soup, amazake (sweet sake), kasuzuke (pickles with sake lees), and barrel sake will be served. 30 kinds of sake are available for tasting for 1500 yen (only the first glass is free for KEG). Local vegetables and snacks from restaurants are also available for purchase. The event attracts a wide range of customers from children to the elderly. The Matsumoto - Saku area is only a short drive by car through a tunnel, but by public transportation, access was moderately difficult as you had to make a detour to Kobuchisawa. But it was a great harvest for the gods.

Keiryu Domuroku 720ml Alcohol content 16 Rice polishing ratio 70%. On the 24th, I will go to Gamagori from Kamisuwa. We will help with the harvest at an acquaintance's mandarin 🍊 field in the afternoon. Then we have a barbecue in the garage for dinner. We buy a bottle of Domuroku at Tsuruya, which we have been wanting to drink for a long time. It's a little bit sweet and smooth. It's delicious. It was gone in no time 😆.

Brewed by Endo Sake Brewery in Suzaka, Nagano Domuroku Keiryuu Activated Nama Shu Junmai This sake is new to me. When I tried it, I found it to be foul tasting (@_@). Among all the nigoris I've ever had, this is definitely the best, It is definitely the best nigori I have ever had 😋😋😋😋😋😋. It's a heaven of sludge and shuwa shuwa 😂😂. Why didn't I know about this sake? I wonder why I've lived until now without knowing about this sake 😂😂. I regret it today 😭😭😭

Japanese>English

This is the supernatant of Keiryu Domuroku from Endo Sake Brewery. I really wanted to buy Domuroku, but it was the last day of my trip when I visited there and I had to return home by hand-carry 😅. The top aroma is sweet with a soft acidity. There are fine pieces of rice floating in the glass. In the mouth, it has a rich rice sweetness with a hint of acidity. It is sweet and thick. It's like a Nagano sake. It was delicious 🍶✨️ The third one is an old brewery about a 10-minute walk from Suzaka Station on the Nagano Electric Railway Nagano Line. Sake is made at a factory located a short distance away.

Easy to drink despite its relatively yellow color! Thinner than Watanohu. But the one with sweetness and sourness that makes it easy to gulp down. This one is good, too. The one you end up drinking too much of... The best two!

This is the first time I've bought bamboo island since the new system was put in place. According to the official website of the Japan Famous Sake Association, the rice is Nihonbare and Yamadanishiki. The lees are submerged and when mixed, it is slightly effervescent and petite. Slightly sweet and bitter. I wonder if it is better to drink it while it has gas? Once the gas is gone, the bitterness will make it hard to drink 🤔. I wonder if it would be sweeter to drink the alcohol by itself?

OSAKA-JO SAKE SQUARE 2023 It is a very crisp, dry, deep-flavored Ajiginjo. The aroma is subtle. The mellowness is more apparent in junmai sake. This is also a good sake. I drank 8 glasses this time and they were all good! There are so many good sake that I can't keep up with them all! It's a happy scream!

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown Slightly pear-like aroma. It has a light shwashiness, and the sweetness is refreshing and light. Is it a summer sake? The umami is also crisp and clean. This is good!

Refreshing, clean, slightly dry ~✨🍶💠 Fruity aroma and texture✨ A little crisp after swallowing 😆. Super oicy ❕. Nomiyasui✨ The 4 of us finished it in no time ‼️ We enjoyed it so much!

A local sake from Shirakawa. With a soft sweetness and light aftertaste, it is a good sake that can be served with a wide range of accompaniments. The name "Jinya" comes from an enclave of the Echigo Takata clan, where a camp was established to govern the area.

Immediately after opening the bottle, it was dry and dry, perhaps due to the 17% alcohol content. Then, after leaving it in the refrigerator for about 5 days due to a business trip, the taste changed drastically! There is almost no aroma, but it has turned into a crisp, sweet and delicious sake. There are not many sakes that have changed in taste like this.

Japanese>English

I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I bought it again. Personally, it is my favorite new sake along with "Akagisan"✨. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like pears. The mouthfeel is light and immediately afterwards there is a solid gassy feeling. It's as shwashy as a carbonated beverage! Dry and clean on the palate, with pear and green apple flavors that are gorgeous and fresh. There is a hint of sweetness, so it is not only dry, but also well balanced. The astringent taste comes in the last half of the bottle and finishes it all off, so it is a delicious wine with a perfect ending! The sun is setting later and later, and we can feel the approach of spring. It's still early, but I'm looking forward to this year's spring sakes!

Japanese>English

I drank it at a tasting and bought it because it tasted better than the sake labeled by Machida Sake Brewery. It is high quality for about 1,500 yen. It seems they use a sake rice called Maikaze, but they don't know if they will be able to produce it next year. I hope they will sell it again next year...

Purchase from Okuhida Sake Brewery This sake brewery is within walking distance of Hida Kanayama Station. This time, they recommended to purchase by letter. I am a sucker for limited editions, so I bought it. The aroma is moderate and the taste is strong. It is dry with a clean aftertaste. I paired it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. I had it with fried pork and cheese with tomato ketchup. It had a strong flavor, but because it was dry, I think it would go well with western food. I think it goes well with western food.

First time drinking at Japanese Sake Festival Osaka ③. This is Okuhida-san, which I really got for the first time 😀. The first green sparkling sake was quite tasty, but the one that surprised me the most was this Tokujun Hi-ire 😇. The nuance of the flavor was more like Jungin than Tokujun 😀 It had the flavor of rice, but also had the taste of rice. The overall flavor was cohesive while still having the deliciousness of rice 😀. I heard that this sake is also available in a raw type, but unfortunately it was not exhibited this time 🤣. But I would like to taste the raw version again 😀.
