The silver one on the right was served hot. Soft and a little sour. It is delicious with a strong rice flavor. It was cold outdoors, so the hot sake soaked through. Suginomori Sake Brewery had a stall at the event being held on December 14 and 15 in front of Matsumoto Parco. The car is equipped with a sake server and is usually parked in front of a bar called sagyobar near the sake brewery in Naraiyado. When I went to Naraijuku the other day, I was on a break. When I told him that I was on a break, he apologized to me. They are very friendly and easy to talk to. Cedar forest is very expensive, so I took this opportunity to meet them for a drink.

nineteenth of the sexagenary cycle Cool aroma. Soft, refreshing and delicious. Good dry taste. A good store that adds today's recommendation to the set to compare drinks. The boiled and seasoned dishes served as appetizers are usually delicious. We are exploring new pubs in front of Matsumoto station. However, we have to spend a lot of money, so we have to moderate our spending. We tried Inokashira for comparison, but we still like it.

Ena-san Pure When poured, it smells like pears. Sweet and sour, slightly carbonated, slightly bitter. It tastes like a reward and a treat. Delicious. On 11/23, on the way back from the Mizunami and Kasahara brewery openings, I took advantage of the time I had to make a one-stop transfer at Nakatsugawa Station and bought some at the brewery. It was the first new sake brewed this year. The brewery is located in a nice area that still retains its old townscape. Since we were on a slow train, we realized that the Nakasendo road connects Shiojiri to here.

fresh verdure A twangy aroma of alcohol. Sourness and numbness after what at first seems tasteless on the tongue. It also has a feeling like burnt sugar. As the brewer says, it is astringent when heated. When I visited the Kozaemon brewery the other day, I bought this sake at this brewery, which is about a 2-minute walk from the brewery. A black cat walked up to greet me. But then he dashed outside.

trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) Good aroma like green apple. Dry and refreshing. Tongue tingling after a while. When paired with a meal, it refreshes the palate and is pleasant. Good. Limited edition for Kiso-Village. Made with local ingredients. Purchased at Sake Brewery YUKAWA, a sake brewery and bar (and home) that opened last week. I had a chance to talk with the president. He said that he had not originally planned to open a store, but after some circumstances, he decided to do so. Yabuhara was originally a post town along the Nakasendo Highway and has a nice atmosphere. The streets are narrow, so it is fun to stroll around on foot. Before, you could shop only on weekdays at the office past the warehouse. Now they are open on Saturdays, which makes me happy. But it was also fun to shop while having a casual conversation next to the labels being pasted on.

Fine effervescence. Aromas of rice and lactic acid. Sweet and creamy. Moderate bitterness. A dangerous sake that is easy to drink despite its 18% alcohol content. I buy this sake every year because I associate the time of year it goes on sale with the time I change my tires. This year, too, I changed my tires and bought it at a sake brewery. This is the third time I've posted about Sake-no-wa. The brewery opening in May this year was a 160th anniversary project, so next year is undecided.

A sweet aroma with a hint of miso and soy sauce. Slightly sweet, but immediately after the sweetness, the acidity comes. Then, umami. The taste is strong. Finally, a sense of maturity similar to numbness and bitterness. I like it. It's interesting because it doesn't seem to be like Daisetsuken. On the way to Matsukawa Village the other day, I bought this at a roadside buckwheat noodle shop and a convenience store. It is a limited-quantity product. A search for the article on this rare item reveals that it was made by a local farmer to promote his sake rice Hitogokochi, and that it was only sold in 2006. The frightening name comes from "Gakki-dake" (Mt. Gakki).

waxing and waning (of the moon) The flavor that only heated sake can have and the refreshing dryness that is typical of Sanzenmori are in harmony and very tasty. I appreciate heated sake because of the cold weather. Sanzenzakari New Sake Festival 11/23 A little over 20 minutes by shuttle bus from Tajimi Station. One hour on foot. The area is home to factories and residences of pottery makers. Sake brewery tours are offered every 30 minutes, and the tour guide gave us a detailed explanation of the different types of sake made from raw sake. He said that most of Sanzenzori's sake is classified as nama-shu. Mino-ware tiles, a local industry of Kasahara, are used as tasting tickets. It is nice to specialize in individuality. Mino one-day trip to a brewery barbecue ladder trip 2/2nd house. Probably there are other drinkers besides me who are visiting the same brewery. However, it is an excursion until returning home.

Dear Jay & Nobby There are new sake release events all over the place this time of year, and after wondering where to go, I took an excursion to Gifu. I returned home safely. This was my first visit to Sanzenmori, and I think it is an interesting brewery specializing in dry sake. There are many sake dealers nearby, so I have more choices.

small fry Slightly sweet with a refreshing taste. Light and tasty. Nakajima Brewery Birabiraki [Autumn Banquet 2024] is being held on November 23 and 24. The QR code allows you to read a detailed explanation of each sake. You can also make reservations for what you can and cannot purchase from the tasting list, and you can play ring toss. Be careful of the grooves on the floor. As a first time drinker of Kozaemon, I was recommended a standard Kozaemon sake. It was my favorite one. This is the first half of a one-day trip to Mino. Will I make it back safely?

roof tile Foaming. Paint-like? Fruity aroma. The wine is smooth, with a refreshing acidity and a slow, delicious flavor. Drier than the "White". Since it was only available at the sake brewery, I couldn't buy it at the brewery, so I ended up buying it at a store I learned about after I returned home. Hitogokochi harvested in the rice paddies within sight of the brewery is used. The brewery's claim to fame is that it makes use of the bounty of the land in Matsukawa Village. Indeed, the area around the brewery is a nice place where one can feel nature. There is no public transportation, so a car is necessary. They are planning to sell drier and sweeter versions of this sake in December and January. However, they will only be available at special dealers. You can only buy white sake at the brewery. You can only buy white sake at the brewery....

Iraka Sake Brewery The aroma is like rum raisins. The flavor comes from the depths of the microbubbles. It is dry, and the bitterness tightens it up. The aroma is showy, but strangely enough, it does not disturb the meal. It's nice. It is delicious. One of the three most mysterious sake breweries in Nagano Prefecture (personal opinion). It was. Purchased at a sake brewery. A new sake brewery in Matsukawa Village. At the moment, the sales floor is open on Saturdays from 1pm to 5pm until the end of December. The "White" is a limited edition for Matsukawa Village. It is only available at the brewery and at Farm Ichiryoku, a five-minute drive away. Now you can get sakekasu like rice cakes (a lot). As it was the first product from the new brewery, I was very enthusiastic and checked the sales date as soon as the phone number was posted on the official website and made a reservation. I thought it was going to be more of a festival. But I was happy to talk a lot. Now I have a chance to be an old-timer. Postscript The person who helped me at the time of the sale, probably the president of the company.

recharge one's batteries with alcohol Discreet sweet aroma. Soft, rice-like flavor. Umami and sharpness typical of Iwanami. Delicious. The impression changes when it is heated, with an aroma reminiscent of milk caramel and sweetness. It is soft. It is good. A collaboration between Matsumoto City's Otsuki Sake Shop and Iwanami Sake Brewery, it is not sold at other stores because it is a private-brand product, but it is surprisingly available at restaurants in front of Matsumoto Station since it was originally sold by a wholesaler. Starting with this sake, Iwanami Brewery has undertaken numerous OEM projects and is recognized as a brewery with the ability to meet a variety of demands. In addition to the recently award-winning Kitsu Na, this is also true of Fukashi Tsuru and Gekko, which I have drank myself in the past. Their main brands are Iwanami and Kagamikazuki. However, only Shinano-no-kuni (somewhat minor) is registered in Sakegawa, and one check-in is in disarray. Ota Washi ya.

Tenmei Ichiban Shibori wo Enjoyment Kai 2024 Online Participation. When I visited Aizu this year, I found out about the brewery opening and joined the event. After paying the membership fee and signing up, I received a set of sake, vegetables, and snacks, and was able to view the event on Zoom. There are three types of Nakatori Zero with the same rice and different yeast. The first one has a sour taste. No. 2 is sweet, mild, and smooth. No. 3 is soft but tangy at the same time. All of them are easy to drink, and you will find yourself feeling a bit dizzy. According to the predecessor, the most delicious is No. 4. The new product will be a blend of No. 1 to No. 6. The one-cup Bear Cup is only available in New York. The bear with glasses is modeled after the president. The president is 40 years old. The grape juice is made from grapes to be used in the wine cellar to be built in the future. It is sweet like chestnuts. They are going to build a sauna in the wine cellar and have a water bath of brewing water. It will be brewed. There were 30 to 40 kinds of wine tasting, restaurants from Wakamatsu and Tokyo, and T-shirts and other goods for sale. Above all, there was a huge turnout. It was a great success. And the handle keepers who participate in the event will receive a bottle of Zero. I want to go. I had a good impression that the president and all the employees were very congenial. Don't let drunks write the minutes.

Sasamorpha borealis (species of bamboo grass unique to Japan) Refreshing apple-like aroma. Dry mouthfeel, with a sharpness that complements meals. A little bit of umami. Quite spicy. This sake brewery is located in Senma, Shiojiri City, just before Kisoji Road. They are trying to make a new brand of sake through crowdfunding, so I went there to support them and learn more. I thought the brewery was a modest one, for better or worse, but it has a sharp point of view, offering only unfiltered, unpasteurized sake at a sake tasting event in Matsumoto. They have the name of Narai-juku on their curtain, but isn't it far away? I wonder if it has an origin.

cracks that form in the ice on Lake Suwa When the bottle is opened, it is slightly effervescent. There is a slight omission of bubbles. A little spicy on the tip of the tongue. The sourness makes it come on quickly and it is delicious. It is crisp and clean. Purchased at a supermarket in Okaya. It goes well with the fatty grilled fish we bought at the same time. Delicious. This is the new sake of the 2024 brewing year. It is very early! A 4-pack bottle costs 1,100 yen including tax. Reasonable! A popular item that was sold out when we visited the brewery last year on 11/24. It does not disappoint! And today is Friday, the 25th. Sake!

God's will (in Christianity) Sourness due to slight effervescence. Sweet, but with a nice sharpness. I like it. When paired with grilled bandits, the oil and saltiness are refreshingly washed away by the slight carbonation and overwritten by the sweetness, making for an excellent pairing. This sake won first place at a rare event held at the end of August to select the best sake from Shinshu that goes well with sanzokuyaki. My prediction was wrong, but after drinking it again, I was convinced. On a side note, I sometimes see people playing with AI concierge when I search for sake-no-wa, and I am one of them.

government-issued chrysanthemum What a great one. Aroma of melon to green apple, not so strong and elegant. Slightly effervescent. It is dry, but I am not talking about dryness. The moderate acidity enhances the flavor and makes you salivate. A little bitterness at the end. And then you feel a sense of something beyond or parallel to deliciousness. I can't describe it because I am inexperienced. If I had to choose between this and that for the same price, I would choose this one. The Kujukuri-hama beach is decorated on the label, and I can feel the smell that they are taking good care of their hometown. I will have to visit the back of Cheeba-kun's head sooner or later. I bought a map of Japan to fill it in for the first time in a while. I go to that Koyama Shoten for the first time. The selection of popular brands is so large that it's hard to choose a favorite. However, I have developed an addiction to Nagano sake, which makes me wonder what kind of Nagano sake is available where. - Color your memories
