Iraka Sake Brewery The aroma is like rum raisins. The flavor comes from the depths of the micro-foaming stimulation. 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 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 product exclusive to 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 a new sake brewery, I was very enthusiastic and checked the sales date as soon as the phone number was published 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.

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!

I have an event in Takada tomorrow. It's too far away. It's not impossible to make a day trip there by taking a connecting train, though.

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

Great Anglo-American War (Sweden vs. Russia, Poland, Denmark, Sri Lanka, etc.) Little aroma. No strange aroma at all. You can feel apple in the depths. Smooth on the palate. Moderate sweetness, refreshing. Umami. A little bitterness at the end. Delicious. Made from Omachi Yamae Nishiki. This is the one we drank last month at the North Alps drinking event and enjoyed it very much. I wanted to drink it slowly, so I bought it. It is a limited edition.

Refreshing aroma + rice. Clean acidity. Lingering aftertaste that numbs the tongue. Surprisingly delicious. Shinshu Matsumoto Soba Festival underway 10/12,13,14 @ Matsumoto Castle In addition to eating soba noodles from inside and outside of the prefecture, there are also booths where you can drink sake for 200 yen per glass. Fukashi Tsuru was there, which I didn't expect.

Miki Mai Cheesy aroma. Caramelized sweetness and bitterness. Light and soft. It flows in like white water. The sweetness is asserted once more in the throat. Interesting. Purchased at a sake brewery. Limited edition at the brewery store. Kamisuwa Highway Machiaruki Drinking Tour 10/5 I went last week. The event is a big one, with five sake breweries drinking and walking along the national highway. The line for the sake tasting, which was long last year, was much smoother this time. While waiting in line, a folk song was performed by local citizens, and both customers and breweries joined in the chorus of "yosasayoi yosasayoi". It was a very good improvement. But the speed of looping the queue increased, and I was tired because I had to walk quite a bit. This is my problem.

Kamataya Sake Brewery It's a sake day, so we open the bottle even though it's a weekday. It has a refreshing dry taste with a gorgeous aroma and flavor. Contrary to the assertiveness of the label, it is the type that complements a meal. For me, it seems to be the kind that tastes good at first sip. I will have it little by little, splitting the day. Purchased at a sake brewery. The rabbit with a turtle shell on its back is Kurabito Usakame, an original character of Kametaya Sake Brewery. There may be no other sake brewery in Nagano Prefecture that offers character goods. In other prefectures, there are other sake breweries such as Tsururei's Yukio, Kuninonaga's Frog, and Niida's Frog.

mutsu_8000 Citrus aroma. Slightly effervescent. Soft, sweet, sour, a little bitter and numb. Very tasty. And if you were expecting porridge aroma in the air, you were right, it was the kind that tastes good warmed up. The softness and sourness stand out and make you drool. Purchased at a liquor store in M city. It was a double winner in the IWC ginjo-shu category and in the warmed sake contest premium lukewarm category. According to the brewery's installation, it smells like ripe melon and banana. My nose is going crazy.

impression Foaming present. Grape or pear-like aroma. After a refreshing taste, it has a slightly sweet taste. A little bit bitter at the end. Delicious. Purchased at a sake brewery. The label is a calligraphy by Katsu Kaishu. A masterful brushwork. It is said to be a standard product of Ozawa Sake Brewery along with Misuzanishiki, but it is said to be rarer than Jyuukyu, which is sold only to exclusive dealers. The jingisukan, a specialty of Shinshu-Shinmachi, which we ate at a set restaurant on the way home, which the brewery staff told us about, was also delicious.

major design This is the one where the bubbles start to blow. Immediately after opening the bottle, the numbness of the bubbles gives it a dry impression, but as it settles down, it is sweet and bitter. It also gives a sense of softness. Purchased at a sake brewery. Located in Ikeda-machi, this sake brewery boasts an immense presence in the Chushin region. The brewery's limited editions bear the name "Kamon" (flower pattern). It seems that the equipment for direct pumping has recently started operating, but when I went there, it was sold out. Too bad. They also sell snacks and goods in a fairly clean sales area. Sake of the mountain It is good after all, Daisetsukkei.

About half of the bottle is cloudy. Aroma of alcohol mixed with the aroma of porridge. Muddy with a hint of rice. It is quite numbing. 18 degrees. You should drink it after mixing. It is not good to drink only the supernatant. It is not good. Purchase it at a sake brewery. A traditional sake brewery in Ikeda Town. A large house. Beautiful rooms. They were very courteous and offered us water when we were wondering what to buy. They were polite enough to take a picture of us without us having to ask. It is a small brewery, but I like it.

master of the electronic arts Pear-like aroma. Slightly effervescent. Soft. Moderately sour and sweet. A little bitterness at the end. The assertiveness is moderate, so it goes well with meals. Delicious. I bought it at the nearest liquor store where I learned about it from Nishida Sake Brewery in Aomori last year. I was grateful for it and left it for more than a year, but it was surprisingly sold around here, and I opened it thinking that I could drink it in Aomori. When I drank it in Aomori last year, I was not so impressed, but I was surprised to find it tasty again. Or is this what they call "flavor onboard"?

North Alps Drinking Walk 9/14-15 Fruity aroma and refreshing fizz, very tasty. Also, the sake served at the store is very tasty. The sake served in the shop is very tasty, even more so because Miss Sake pours it for us. The tasting room is kind of flirtatious with reggae-like music playing. But the sake is delicious. It's frustrating.

North Alps Drinking Walk underway 9/14-15 Started with Kagamibiraki at Hakuba Nishiki. Good luck! The Daiginjo selected by the toji is a blend of sake matured for 5 to 10 years. No strange smell, clean and mellow. It's amazing. Other examples are Usagi Giku from the series named after plants in the Northern Alps. A lineup of sparkling sake and other refreshing sakes, Hakubanishiki's specialty. There were no sakes that closely resembled Lulac's specs this year, but the composition was quite enjoyable for me, including the (horror of horrors) return of the president's heated sake corner.
