The supernatant has a green apple aroma. Foaming. Sweetness and bitterness. And when I was drinking the supernatant, I was surprised to see bubbles spilling out of the bottle at different times. When I mixed the cloudiness, the yogurt feeling was added and the green apple feeling was clean and refreshing. It's delicious this year, with a tongue-tightening sensation. Purchased at a sake brewery. Speaking of the season of changing tires, it's the muddy raw sake before dawn. I buy it every year. This is the fourth time I've posted about it. Please be safe as it is the season of many slip accidents from now on.

section of the Nakasendo Slightly effervescent. Delicious with a refreshing sweetness and fruitiness. The taste is firm even when the temperature rises. The label seems to change with the seasons. At Sake Brewery YUKAWA. A bar attached to a sake brewery. Ladder from Masumi. A place where you can drink sake while chatting directly with Kuroemon XVI. He said he was thinking of assuming the name, but decided not to because of the difficulties involved in registering his family name and so on. It's a male name. The sake brewery has won many awards in the prefecture, nationally, and internationally, but it was worth going for a drink to feel close to the side of the family business that they are working hard on. Today was the first anniversary of the bar's opening, and I won a small bottle of sake in a raffle. I was so happy.

A fresh aroma envelops the venue. The sweetness comes first, followed by the smell of alcohol and numbness. After that, the delicious aroma of rice is full of flavor. Delicious. Miyasaka Brewery New Sake Festival 2025 is being held from 10:00 to 15:00. Lush cedar balls are nice and fresh. All-you-can-drink arabashiri and amazake from morning. The quintessence is Masumi. Yakitori, local vegetables, and Masumi blended with honey yogurt can also be enjoyed. Iyasaka!

high waves Delicious. The alcohol comes with a thump. The aroma is like a distilled spirit of Western liquor or dried fruits. Soft and subtle sweetness. Yum! Tingling on the lips and tongue. A little after finishing the drink, there is the aroma of rice. The taste is very strong and delicious. Purchased at a liquor store. I had been looking for this sake since I drank it at a bar event in August and enjoyed it so much. It was hard to find, but surprisingly I was able to buy it in front of Matsumoto station. It's dark under the lamp. Matsumoto~ Matsumoto~ Matsumoto~ Matsumoto

bamboo shoots boiled, sliced, fermented, dried or preserved in salt, then soaked in hot water and sea salt When it is cooled down to a crisp, you can feel the aroma of maturity, and when it is on your tongue, the sourness and sweetness are gradually released. Delicious. When heated, it has a soft and gentle sweetness and a sourness at the end. It tastes even better when warmed. So it was heated in the mouth. Purchased on 10/25 at the opening of the brewery. It is a special limited edition sake made from Koshihikari rice and aged in a cool place in the brewery. I also enjoyed the explanation of the sake by the toji (master brewer). It is an attractive sake brewery, but access by public transportation is a hurdle.

roof tile Slightly effervescent and chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili. There is a kind of herbal aroma of rice behind it. It is dry but has a nice acidity that makes you salivate. The end is a little bitter. The impression is very different from last year. This is the second year's new sake from Iraka Sake Brewery. It is only available at the brewery in Matsukawa Village for three days. There is only one more day left, tomorrow. This year, it was so prosperous that there was a line. Last year, I was the only customer when I went on the release day, but I am deeply moved to think that the taste and name recognition have spread that much in one year (old wig).

right side of the river It was served hot. Quite yellow. Aromatic aroma. Slightly sweet and very strong flavor. But it doesn't have the peculiar habit of aging, which is a strange sensation. Numbness on the tongue. 20 degrees Celsius. Delicious. It is very interesting. This is a BY2017 sake matured in the attic of the miso warehouse at Matsubaya Honten. When you say so, you can feel the aroma of miso. Izakaya in front of Nagano Station. It violates everything on the label, which says to keep it at room temperature and heat it up, but the owner is on good terms with the brewery and has reported it to the IRS, so no problem. The owner's knowledge of sake and the proprietress' exquisite customer service made this a very nice place. No reception.

the peak of harvest season Unmai. Fresh aroma like pear. Soft. A clear sweetness oozes out, and the aroma of rice. It's so good! Purchased at 7-Eleven Maruko Wako on the way back from 10/25 from Takeju Shuzo to Otsuka Shuzo. This convenience store is located at the junction of Ueda and Saku after passing through the Sanzaiyama Tunnel. It has a large selection of sake from Shinshu breweries. I found a good store. I sometimes see Meiho, but this was the first time I saw Shuho, so I bought it. It's really good. Shinshu Meiho gave me a stamp of "Shuhou" in country tourism, which made me very happy. I was so happy to get a stamp of "Shu" at Shinshu Meiho. Correction. The correct name is "Mei" Mine Kikumori. I am not in a position to be blamed for the typo, I regret it.

chamaecyparis obtusa var. breviramea (ornamental variety of hinoki cypress) Slightly habitual aroma, tongue numbing, astringent and bitter. Aroma of rice in the mouth when warmed. Soft sweetness and a bit sour. Delicious warmed. You can drink it all the time. Purchased at a sake brewery. Preliminary study because I supported a project to release new hard water and soft water sakes through Kurafan. They use hard water for all the sake they sell now, but they used to use soft water called Benten-no-shimizu for their honjozo. He said they stopped using it because it was too hard to go fetch it. I wanted to drink it. So I went to fetch some. It was about a 5-minute drive from the brewery. The water was flowing out at a great rate and was soft and tasty.

twelve words used to mark the old calendar as indicators of lucky and unlucky activites Shuwaku, sweet and mashed with the sourness of yogurt. Delicious. Gooey at the bottom of the bottle. The official name is "doburoku," which means "doburoku" in Japanese. The culprit who made 10/26 Doburoku Day opened the brewery one day early because it can be read as "doburoku" with a guess. The splendid house along the old Nakasendo road is a cultural asset. Fresh amazake was served, tastings were available for a fee, and collaborative products from Summer Wars were sold. The toji explained about the products. He told us that he takes a lot of time and effort to make the Twelve Roku using box malted rice. It tastes even better now that we know how much we appreciate it.

Shigisumi-zumi Refreshing aroma of cider. Light, soft, slightly effervescent. Modest sweetness, saliva. A little bitterness lingers. Refreshing on the palate. Delicious. I heard it goes well with mushrooms, so I paired it with mushroom hot somen noodles. Does it have an earthy aroma? I think so? This is a sake brewery that specializes in sweet, sour, and juicy wines, but has not yet been discovered. I bought it at a liquor store in Suzaka while going to the Aeon Mall in Suzaka. The Naotora limited edition sake I bought at the Suzaka Aeon Mall was also sold in Matsumoto. What a feeling of defeat.

When I visited 2 years ago, there was not much sake available, but now that a new brand has been introduced, there is a good selection.

gate with a crossbar When cold, it has a refreshing impression. As it gets to room temperature, it has a sake-like aroma. Very normal and tasty. I had a similar impression of Iwanami Shuzo's Gekko (fresh stored) a few years ago, but...is that what it is? We are currently exploring izakayas in front of Matsumoto station. However, the cost is high, so I'm trying to keep it moderate. It is located on the second floor of the building, which is quite close to the Matsumoto station, so it is a surprisingly good izakaya. The owner originally liked Keiji Maeda so much that he decided to name the restaurant after him. And a regular customer donated Keiji Hana no Keiji goods, so the interior was a wonderful place full of Keiji Hana no Keiji. The limited-time-only kurikoro was very tasty.

furthermore Delaware-like aroma, slightly sweet and a little sour. Slightly sweet, slightly sour, low 13°, light flavor, goes surprisingly well with fatty foods. Quite a good match. Gulp it down. Purchased at Aeon Mall Suzaka, which opened this month. 360 bottles only. The majority of the liquor stores are owned by the Endo Sake Brewery in Suzaka. There are also many local brands from sake breweries in the northern Shin region, such as Shinanomitsu and Katsura Masamune, which are rare in a sense, and recommended for sake enthusiasts who have gone as far as they can go.

speculative spirit Sweet and sour and refreshing. Slightly fizzy. Chemically fruity aroma. Aroma of steamed rice. Very clean aftertaste. Goes well with soba! As expected of a buckwheat noodle shop selection. Sake at Soba Restaurant because Matsumoto Soba Festival was canceled. This is a restaurant in front of Matsumoto station where you can enjoy delicious soba and sake. This sake is on the night menu, but when we asked, they served it for lunch as well. Thank you very much for your time. The chef's T-shirt was open at night.

Patry. Means "homeland" in French. Oddly enough, this is the second consecutive French-language sake. The aroma is of the restaurant's kitchen, so I can't really smell it. It is sweet. The nose smells like apples. The mouthfeel is very refreshing with moderate acidity. It is sweet. Delicious. Not good with soba. The Matsumoto Soba Festival was canceled this year because of the construction work at Matsumoto Castle. We had no choice but to eat soba at an izakaya. This is a limited edition from a very popular restaurant in front of Matsumoto Station, FURIN KAZAN. The reason why the label on the back is in English may be because there are many foreign customers. However, I wonder if the English labeling of Beian Daikoku is correct...

Ima-Nishiki De Ville DE VILLE means street corner in French. Sake aged in whiskey barrels. It has a fragrant aroma of dried grapes. It is a little sour and you can strongly feel the aroma of the barrels in your mouth. The tongue feels numb and hot, just like the aftertaste of distilled sake. However, the gentle sweetness retains its sake-like character. The portion of sake that evaporates and decreases as it ages in the barrel is called the "angel's share" and the portion that seeps into the barrel is called the "devil's share," but it seems that this sake had an increased alcohol content after aging in the barrel. Devil's share is getting in......you mean! Purchased at Ina Kantenpa Garden. They also gave me a free gift of mint tablets. Mitchie Makino!

Sweet and sour, faintly effervescent, with a delicious sweet aroma. No oakyness. Kurosawa nama-hashiroshi tokubetsu junmai nama sake mixed with some kind of sake. It tastes awfully good. Kurosawa Shuzo Autumn Sake Brewery Open House 2025/10/4 (Sat) 9:30-15:00 The tasting starts 5 minutes before 9:30, so it's pretty loose. Suki. Sake lees soup, amazake (sweet sake), kasuzuke (pickles with sake lees), and barrel sake will be served. 30 kinds of sake are available for tasting for 1500 yen (only the first glass is free for KEG). Local vegetables and snacks from restaurants are also available for purchase. The event attracts a wide range of customers from children to the elderly. The Matsumoto - Saku area is only a short drive by car through a tunnel, but by public transportation, access was moderately difficult as you had to make a detour to Kobuchisawa. But it was a great harvest for the gods.

changing for the better The aroma is mild. The color is almost transparent. When put in the mouth, it has a dry taste, moderately acidic, and at the same time, it has a strong and robust umami. When warmed, the prickling sensation disappears and the rice becomes soft and gently sweet. When served with a meal, it makes the palate happy. It is delicious. Purchased at the supermarket nearest the brewery in Okaya. They have a huge selection of local sake. On Sake Day +2, we opened a bottle of Takaten no Hiyayoroshi. GI NAGANO
