On the way back from a drinking tour of Kamisuwa, we stopped by Mikotsuru Sake Brewery in Shimosuwa.
At the store, we bought a limited edition of Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
The aroma was fresh and pear-like, typical of nama-shu. In the mouth, it is gassy and fresh, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness.
It was worth the trip to the brewery.
It's been a long time since I've been to Akabu. I couldn't drink last year's MONSTER. It seems to be a Halloween sake, but I couldn't wait and opened the bottle. I couldn't wait and opened the bottle.
It has a very slight gassy feeling. It is not so sweet, but has a sour and refreshing taste.
It is a little different from the usual Akabu, but it is still delicious.
Mikotsuru's junmai ginjo, orikarami.
It has a clear, clean flavor and a light, clear mouthfeel. The aroma is not too gorgeous, but refreshing with a hint of apple.
Shinshu Kamerei Hitokotchi, limited edition (draft) and fire-aged. It is not easy to drink.
Both are delicious. The freshness of the raw is stronger, but the hi-ire is also delicious.
First tailing at home.
The aroma is fruity, gorgeous and juicy.
The mouthfeel is smooth and fruity sweetness, and as is typical of Omachi, it has a full flavor and richness, with a sharp finish. It is delicious.
My wife bought the sake she liked best among those she tasted while talking with a person from Iwase Sake Brewery who was at the department store.
The sake here is said to be made from very hard water with a hardness of 240. So the name of the sake also comes from this.
The aroma is mild and fresh, and I think it is slightly spicy rather than sweet, but it has acidity and umami.
It is a delicious sake.
A tag warning you to open the bottle.
When I twisted the screw cap, it was hard to get the bubbles out. It's just like beer.
After the bubbles settle down, pour it into a glass.
Sake level -100, acidity 5-6, alcohol 5%.
Sweet aroma. Naturally, it has a great gassy feeling, with a sweetness and acidity like citrus juice. It's a little hard to believe it's sake.
It is delicious, though.
My favorite cold chrysanthemum.
This is my first time to drink Discovery series.
As usual, opening the bottle makes me nervous. I managed to open it without blowing it open.
The aroma is fruity like white peach and muscat? The aroma is fruity, like white peach or muscat.
In the mouth, there is a nice gassy feeling. It's fruity, juicy, and elegantly sweet. The slight bitterness that is not unpleasant is also a nice accent.
Kangiku is now my best sake.
Another cold chrysanthemum. This is the first time for me to drink "Omiokai".
As usual, I was very careful not to let the lid fly off when opening the bottle.
It has a fruity aroma like ripe citrus fruits, mild and more subdued than summer sake.
The juicy and soft fruity flavor spreads in the mouth, giving it a fullness that is typical of autumn.
The palate is well-balanced, and the second half of the bottle is smooth and refreshing. It is well-balanced, and the latter half of the bottle is smooth. The lingering aftertaste is slightly bitter and reminds one of a sea at sunset.
It is delicious.
The first Sogapeur et Fis.
It is still different from ordinary sake, it is like wine.
The aroma is subdued and calm, the acidity is strong, and it is sharp and dry.
It was delicious.
I wonder when I will be able to drink it again.
Good morning, Kenkensan 😃.
Congratulations on your first Sogape 🎉㊗️
Since we went through a magnum bottle on our Nagano sake trip a few years ago 😓I haven't had the chance 😢I'm the first one I want to drink now ‼️
Hello Jay & Nobby.
Thank you very much.
Yes, sogape is very hard to find.
I was able to have a taste of it after my wish came true.
It is a really delicious drink. I wonder when I will be able to see it again 😂.
