This brewery is obsessed with junmai (pure rice)! It has a great sharpness, but also has the sweetness of rice! The owner here is very particular about sake. Don't underestimate it as a sushi restaurant!
We are enjoying Toyama's local sake on a trip to Hokuriku... We chose Akebono's Josen as the head brewer's recommendation for heated sake. It has sweetness, acidity and sharpness.
Shinkawa-no-Sato is a private brand sake of Shinkawaya Sake Shop, a corner bar in front of Shirate Station in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. This is their Nigorizake. The manufacturer is Shinshu Meizou, which produces the brand name "Takizawa". I didn't know that Nagano sake is only available at this store in Kanagawa Prefecture!
Shigaizumi Shuzo, One Drop Two Drops Special Junmai. Balance of sweetness and aroma. Celebration! The National High School Ekiden, both men's and women's high schools in Shinshu won the championship! So we had a toast to celebrate. Only half of the sake bottle was left, but we finished it. I have only visited Shigaizumi Sake Brewery in Nakano City, so I hope to encounter new brands again!
After much deliberation, I decided to have a second glass of Kamidori "Meiri" from Toshimaya in Okaya City. Normally, I am a Junmai (pure rice) drinker and do not order alcohol-added sake, but if it is Toshimaya's top brand and they have put as much effort into it as they did in their exhibit, then I am sure I will be able to enjoy it!
It is dry, but has a pleasantly full flavor characteristic of the water (from the Kirigamine water system) in the Suwa region.
Well done!
An autumn limited edition from Shigaizumi Sake Brewery in Nakano City, the hometown of Bay Stars player Shugo Maki! Full-bodied sweetness and fresh sake's unique shwashiness!
It has been a long time since I have posted as the chairman of the board (^_^;) The first sake of my return is the classic Masumi Okuden Kangatsukuri! It is a representative of the five Suwa breweries and a representative brand of Nagano Prefecture! The middle mouth is very refreshing and does not betray the taste.
Today, I went to Chino City, my former place of residence. I went for a drive because my car, which I purchased at a car dealership in Chino City, was due for a routine inspection! This time, I held out for Suwa Gozo and stocked up at home. I had a bottle of Reijin Junmai Ginjo along with the Sanzokuyaki that I procured at the supermarket. After all, the Kirigamine subterranean water from the Suwa area is delicious.
My parents traveled to Ueda last year and finally opened a bottle of Shinshu Kamerei, which they had received as a gift! I had seen many comments about how delicious it was, and now I finally had a chance to taste it. I see! This fruity flavor is no wonder it is so captivating. The taste is different from both Suwa Gozo and Hokushin no Sato!
Jay & Nobby, I got a referral from a local, so I stopped by and it was quite popular! I stopped by and found out how popular it was! I'm sure it's very popular!
It has been a while! I am Aura of Hama, the leader of the group. It's been a while since I've posted here, as I decided to go into Nagano on Friday to have my car inspected. Shinshu Neko Masamune" by Maihime Shuzo. It's a cute label for cat lovers. ♪ It has a refreshing taste that will heal your master. You could say it is the healing type of Suwa Gozo!
I recently visited Nakano City in Hokushin and purchased a bottle of "One Drop Two Drops" from the Shigaizumi Sake Brewery! Made with Kijimadaira sake rice. Easy to drink, balanced!
Happy New Year! I am the leader of the "Zukudase! I am the leader of the "Sake of Shinshu" group! We will continue to love Nagano sake in the New Year and look forward to serving you in the New Year. The first sake of the new year is Suwa's Reijin Junmai Ginjo! I made it with Kikkoman's Uchi-no-Gohan Fluffy Chicken with Spiced Negi-Dare as a snack.
We visited the "Shinshu Sake Museum Yurakuan" at Yokoya Onsen in Chino City! The specialty of this place is a collection of sake labels from all the sake breweries in Nagano Prefecture! (Since it is not possible to have all the brands due to the specifications, we chose Reijin-sama, a large bottle of sake representing the Suwa area.)
Tsubu-chan, since you have just opened and have been learning a lot and aspiring to further improve its attractiveness, this is a great recommendation!
I see that Mr. Sieg Jikon has been paying attention to this place! I have been wanting to introduce this spot to you for a while, so let's keep promoting it!
At the end of last month, I visited one of the five Suwa breweries, Maaihime Shuzo, for a long time and tasted their "Suiro" junmai ginjo-genshu, which I liked and purchased "Alps Yeast". This gem is made with sake rice, water, and yeast from Nagano Prefecture.
It is delicious when lightly chilled!
