Another round of sake comparison! First, we will start with Daishinshu Fire-brewed Junmai Ginjo-shu (middle of the month). Total balance of flavor, aroma and sharpness. Goes well with yakitori!
Shinshu Sake Drinking Comparison! From Chushin, Hakuba-Nishiki Ginjo-Nama-Shu! (Yukidoke) Super refreshing, unique to water from the Northern Alps! Sweet and sour taste. It is very similar to the texture of Suntory's natural water North Alps.
Second cup of sake from Shinshu! In the Suwa region is Okaya's sake, Toyoshimaya's Toyoka! It is dry but has a mellow taste. Living in Suwa area and used to drinking sake from Suwa area, it is still easy to get used to (lol).
Nagano's Local Sake Comparison in front of Matsumoto Station! Unfortunately, the FURIN KAZAN that we originally planned to visit was temporarily closed, so we went to Manrai. We started with the Hokushin style Matsubaya special junmai sake from Hokushin. A refreshing sake with no cloying flavors!
The well-known "Masumi" sake from Suwa, a limited edition label for the Omihashira Festival! As for the event, it was drastically scaled down due to the system of transporting the sacred pillar by trailer and the cancellation of Ki-ochi, but the limited labels are also released by each of the five Suwa breweries♪ The contents are the same as the regular Masumi. Well-balanced flavor.
A gem from Kumazawa Shuzo, a Shonan brewery that uses sake rice grown in Yokohama City, my hometown. It's refreshing, non-habit forming, and delicious!
The first memorable post is "Honjozo Nama Mild," a cold sake from Okaya City's Takaten, a Japanese sake chain Tenhou, a ramen chain originating in the Suwa region, carries.
