I saw a sign for a limited edition sake posted in the store and placed an order. I thought it might be from the Nagano area because of the name "Matsuo," but it was a local limited edition of Kangiku. The sake is fruity, sweet, refreshing, and easy to drink, just like Kangiku. The cup was empty by the time the deer from Nagano, the Ezo deer from Shiranushi, and the brown bear from Shiretoko appeared in the photo.
Other Brewed Sake" which is not strictly speaking sake. It is a hoppy, shwashy drink with a champagne-like flavor. It could be served as an aperitif, but it was also suitable for enjoying the aftertaste like a dessert. We regretted the last bites of our meal.
This is a mature sake that was stored in a room dam in Sakuho-machi and passed through last summer. Normally, stored sake is fire-aged, but this one is called "Nama-nazake". It is dark and round.
Why is Aizan 607, a sake prepared exclusively for the event, here? The Aizan-style glamour is understated, sweet and sour, and mature like when you meet your first love.
Purchased at Kakuuchiya, a liquor store in Yufuin. It is one of the "Yubu Bijin" brand bottles that the store planned and had a local brewery produce. I was allowed to taste it at the store and chose it. It was the best impression I had after comparing the two bottles.
I forgot to pick up the umbrella I left the day before yesterday, so I went home to retrieve it. Since I went through the trouble, I only had one drink. I also had a small amount left in the bottle. A refreshing sake with soft acidity. A lingering scent of summer.
