Finally opened a bottle of this souvenir from the Suwa Gokura pilgrimage.
The ginjo aroma is not so strong, and for a 15% alcohol content, it feels strong. However, it is also elegant.
I am glad that the brand name does not appear, and on the contrary, it is rare. The selection criterion was the name of the place, Nakatsugawa. There is a slight connection. The aroma is strong and surprising, but the taste is mellow. I will drink it slowly with a high alcohol content.
A gem from Maihime brought back from Suwa.
As the name suggests, the sake is polished and clear. The glass was a gift from the neighboring Reijin, a "collaboration" of five Suwa breweries.
This is also a tasting only. After tasting two kinds of sake, we were at the end of our tasting time. We visited Honkin only. Masumi and Maihime were packed in a cool bag to take home. Still, it's a great place. Suwa is a wonderful place.
The volume.3 of "Kamito," the night of the trip to Suwa-taisha shrine. We finished with Doshiri. The junmai ginjo just before was so different that it seemed a little watery.
I opened a bottle of the wine I had received. I first drank it in a wine glass with the sediment still in it, and it was like champagne. After that, I drank it with nigori sake. Elegant is the best word to describe it.
A marriage of delicious yakitori and the last drink. Dry and crispy. This is also on the back menu. It matched very well with the dish and was delicious 🙇.
Another gift. It can be slightly chilled or warmed.... The bottle was opened at room temperature in winter.... Hmmm... Should it be chilled? The aroma is excellent.
A gift. Both the smell and the mouthfeel are esoteric. It is not a ginjo aroma. It is more like a junmai sake. I can drink it, but there seems to be a difference in likes and dislikes.
The fourth drink at a gathering to enjoy rare brands and skewers. We subconsciously chose the same type of sake, but it seems that our tastes are very similar. The rice flavor is really deep. Is it Gohyakumangoku?
This is the third drink at a gathering of rare brands and kushiyaki skewers. I chose this one because it was the only one on the menu that I had heard of. Another solid type.... I wonder how far we can go.
