Chrisbrz
The flavor is a little sweet, with a thick mouthfeel the flavor lingers a while Tangy finish
Chrisbrz
pretty good partner with sashimi/sushi but probably a better match with more robust flavored foods
Chrisbrz
This would be a great sake to drink on its own while having a conversation with an old friend
Chrisbrz
I enjoyed it and will probably buy it again

The greatest feature of the company is its ability to brew sake throughout the year. With the latest equipment, we brew sake that is suited to each season.

Soft mouth feel Nice to drink on its own Slightly tangy finish

A comfortable match with sashimi (salmon, scallop, toro), but intensifies the umami in uni.

Mildly grassy flavor with a soft sticky finish that lets a tanginess linger in your mouth. Very sashimi -friendly sake, it cleans the palate between fishes without overpowering the sashimi Even with heavy flavors like うに uni and あん肝 ankimo, the sake’s mild acidity cuts through the uni / Ankimo fattiness and enhances the umami. 2025/08/16

Kind of refreshing to drink on its own lightly chilled. edamame and fresh corn cut down the sake’s tanginess. Some sashimi like Ikura highlights the tanginess. Surprisingly good match with dessert (fresh peaches and おはぎ)

上川大雪　カレー　Kamikawa with Curry 精米歩合　不明 アルコール　15％ Ricey aroma. Initial flavor is Mild, slightly heavy body that coats my tongue. Drinking this with curry, the sake does a good job mellowing the (Indian) curry’s spiciness. Maybe next time I can order really spicy curry. It’s a good sake, I’d like to try it another time with Thai curry. I didn’t realize with the first glass but this Sake is actually usu-nigori. Mixing it better makes the Sake a little sweeter and even stronger against spiciness.

My wife says that as soon as the bottle is opened, it has an aroma of koji rice, and the first sip has a fresh, fruity, gorgeous flavor like muskmelon🍈. It could go well with dessert.

Came back to my SIL’s house (栃木県出身) for some sake with snacks. This is so much better! Yuto is delicious for sipping and also great with salty senbei or fresh strawberries 🍓 Sugita Shuzo is her “neighborhood Kura”, I hope she gets more the next time she goes to Tochigi.
