Purchased at a sake brewery just above the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line a year ago GW. The brewing water is said to be from the western Japan side.
As the name suggests, it has a powerful flavor.
A wonderful sake that tickles the fancy of geological enthusiasts.
I got this from a drawing at Uekiya, Aizu, summer gin light nigori, a May-only shipment from Keiraku.
It is no longer calpis!
You can taste the umami of rice and a hint of acidity, and it is a sharp sake, just like a summer sake.

I requested a dry sake, and this is what I was served.
Fruity and rich on the palate. It is fruity and rich on the palate, with a firm spiciness that spreads through the mouth. It goes down smoothly and is delicious.

The restaurant will be closing soon, and they offered us a large portion of their carefully stored past 寫楽, which is a very old sake.
It is a very sturdy old sake. It is a dignified sake.

This is a summer version of Yamanoi Shiro, a light nigori (light-bodied) draft sake, that has been bottle-aged for about six months.
The sweet and sour taste of the lactic acid beverage spreads in the mouth, making it a refreshing sake that is slightly different from its winter counterpart.
Hello, nabe-san.
Sake from Minamiaizu is delicious, isn't it? I like this Aizu sake brewery so much that I think their sake may be the best in Japan. All of them are delicious, including Yamanoi and Rin!

While the cherry blossoms are still in bloom in Aizu this year, I enjoy a lightly cloudy sake with a gentle flavor. The mouth is filled with a slight aroma of cherry blossoms. It is a wonderful spring sake.

This sake has the sweetness of rice, but also has a robust flavor. It would go well with Aizu's local dish of pickled Shin Shin with Sansho (Japanese pepper).
I bought a bottle of sake at Toyama station last GW and let it mature (?). It finally made it to the mound at our house.
It has a subtle shwashiness and sweetness of rice.
It is delicious.
We enjoy it cold.
I had not been drinking much local sake even though I am a city dweller. I bought it while visiting the brewery.
It is a robust and dignified sake, which is unique to the original, and seems to go well with strong food with it.
I will have a repeat purchase!
