It's light nigori 🤍.
The rice feeling is up front 🌾.
The taste is composed of umami and bitterness, with a slight sweetness appearing at the end 😙.
It was nigori but sharp.

It has sweetness and acidity, but the acidity is stronger.
The flavor is also in the back.
It has a good acidity and is light, like a sour fruit 😋.

Last but not least, we got a dragon daffodil 😁.
It has sweetness and umami, but with the addition of a slight carbonation (🫧), it has a refreshing finish.
The aftertaste is not too much, as there is also a sense of rice with a decent umami flavor 🌾.
It was perfect for a refreshing after-dinner drink 🤗.
After the meal, we walked around the town while waiting for the bus🚌🚶.
The town reminds me of a hot spring town in the Showa era ♨️.
And the entrance to "Horoyoi Ginza" which I saw in Higu's post.
It sure looks like it will be a deep spot 🌃 at night 😆.

Good evening ichiro18 😃.
Thank you 😆.
It was a day trip. I wanted to relax but we had a year-end party that night 😅.
It's a nostalgic city ❗️ I'll try to go there without Masamune next time 😆.

Hiro, I highly recommend Horoiyo Ginza, a nighttime snack bar in Kaminoyamada Onsen ♨️. 😆

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
We were so satisfied with Hohogaike Masamune that we decided to drink Obaste Masamune as well🤗.
The Tanada label is beautiful ✨.
We had it with the sashimi set meal 😋.
Refreshing aroma😊.
Thought it would be refreshing, but a little thicker 🤔.
Firm umami and soft sweetness overlap in the mouth.
It tastes like ripe bananas 🍌.
Long finish with a full-bodied aftertaste.
It was light at the start but leaves a thick impression at the end.
And the simple rice sensation 🌾 derived from junmai (pure rice) eliminated the fishy smell of the fish and left a sweet taste 🤗.
Nice Masamune👍

Nice Masamune, really nice 👍️

ヒロ
ma-ki-San, there was also Genmai and Tasake on the line, but I decided to go with Obaste 😆.
This Obaste was also a nice sake, with a lightness and a sheen that is typical of Nagano 😊.

Higu
Hiro, it's a series of terraced rice paddies in Yasuyoshi. The label changes with the seasons, doesn't it? Sure, I drank a bit of it, but it was good as a food wine...
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Higu, you drank terraced rice too! Quite the feat ✨.
I've only had 3 types of sake, but it looks like this restaurant has a decent selection of sake to go with your meal 😁.

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
There are times when you wish you had done this back then 😄But isn't the thought that there are still some Nagano sake that you don't know about an incentive to go on a Nagano trip ❓I recommend Kamiyamada 😁.

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
Sold by: Sakai Meisho

It was unknown on my Masamune list, but I found out it exists through Higu's post the other day, so I went hunting for it 😄.
We took the Shinkansen 🚅 early in the morning to Ueda in Nagano prefecture and changed trains to get there.
First, I went to the storehouse of the brewery to make sure it was available 👀.
Once my mind was at ease, I boarded the bus🚌 to visit the store Higu had posted about.
So here we are: ❗️
Kuriya" in Kamiyamada Onsen 😊.
We immediately entered the restaurant 🍶.
There was the desired Masamune in the fridge 👀.
Before looking at the menu, we ordered 🤗.
It has a subtle aroma of rice that is typical of Junmai 🌾.
You can taste the rich flavor of the rice 🌾.
Mild umami spreads on the tongue with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
Clear and refreshing on the throat ✨.
From the look of it, I thought it was a normal sake spec, but it had a beautiful sweet and umami flavor with no cloying taste 😋.
Thanks to Higu for the safe hunt 🙏.
Nice Masamune👍

Good morning, Hiro 😃.
Recently, I've been looking at Konan University's "List of Masamune throughout Japan" to track down Masamune hunters and predict the next Masamune 🤣There is no Glorious Pond Masamune listed 😳.
Nice Masamune👍 for your tireless information gathering and outstanding fluke!
Japanese>English

Good morning, Hiro!
Your hunting ability to capture the fish from the lock-on as soon as it reacts to the sensor is unbelievable 😁✨✨.
And even the playful spirit of visiting Mr. [Kuraya] after letting the prey swim by is all the best nice Masamune 👍️
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
I've collected quite a few lists from Konan University, including Masamune that existed in the past. It's fun to think that there are other people interested in Masamune 😁.
I hope to continue collecting information and discover unknown Masamune 😆.
Japanese>English

Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
I get soooo excited when I see information about Masamune that I haven't tasted yet 🤣.
I had a calculation that if I could drink it at the store, it would be fridge friendly 🤣....

Good evening, Hiro-san. I didn't realize you were already on the hunt.... I'm surprised at your great energy. You can drink from noon at KURIYA. I'm looking forward to more hunts.
Nice Masamune👍

ヒロ
Good evening, Higu 😃.
Thank you very much 😄.
I think speed is also important these days, as Masamune can run out if you're too slow 🙂↕️
Kuriya was great, the food and drinks were delicious ✨.

Good evening, Hiro-san. Hiro-san's Masamune coverage and Aladdin-san's prediction of it while looking at the list of Konan University! That's a fearsome network of information about Sake-no-wa 🤣.

Good morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Masamune coverage power 🤣 looks like a new capability 🤣.

The aroma is low and subdued.
It has a light sweet taste on the palate.
This is banana🍌.
The cleanliness is also mild and disappears quickly 🫥.
I remembered Aisan ❤️ to have a bit more sweetness, but it was different from my memory 😅.
Maybe because it was bottled in July so a little time has passed 🤔
...no no no, I have a memory memory memory correction, so I couldn't tell in the end 😅.
Japanese>English

Hello, Hiro-san!
Aizan of the packet I also got the impression that the sweetness was reserved 🍶.
Still, it was a beautiful and well-balanced sake as always and very tasty 😋.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the difference from your past memories 🤗.

I knew it was not as sweet as I thought it would be. ❗️ If your memory of the taste is very different from the taste at the time of the repeat, it's not the same. I'm so anxious that I can't afford to enjoy it 🤣. I'm so anxious that I can't afford to enjoy it 🤣.

It has a complex flavor with the delicious taste of rice, a hint of sweetness 🌾, and a crisp acidity 🌾.
And a complex flavor with a crisp acidity 🧐.
The water makes it feel clean and fresh in the throat.
The acidity lingers until the aftertaste, leaving an atmospheric ending that leaves a lingering sensation 😌.

This is a label for gingerbread man.
It's a common candy in Europe at Christmas🎄🥳.
The color is so pure white that you can see it through the green color of the bottle🤍.
Pear🍐 or apple🍎 taste with light sweetness and acidity.
The cloudy rice taste makes it sour or mild.
The lingering bitterness is also typical of nigori 🤗.
The ginjo aroma passes through the nose and ends with a gorgeous atmosphere: ☺️

It's been a long time 🌺
White in color but no rice grains visible🤍.
The faintly sweet ginjo aroma heightens my anticipation.
On the palate it is pineapple🍍, after all 🙂↕️
The sweetness is neutralized by the slight riceiness🌾 that lingers on the tongue in the aftertaste.
I think Oorigarami has a calm atmosphere😌.

Takachio's glass😎pink🩷bear🐻.
This is the one that makes me want to drink it already by the looks of it 🤭.
I bought it as soon as I saw it ✨
Bosh, open the bottle 🍶.
It has a light pink color 🩷.
It's even more tailing 🤍.
When opened, the aroma is mildly fruity and sweet.
It feels strawberry flavored 🍓, perhaps caught by the pink 🩷.
The flavor is truly "juicy & fresh" 😋.
The moderate carbonation stimulates the taste and makes it light and refreshing without being too sweet and acidic 🤗.

I've been seeing "Bakuren" a lot lately 🍶.
It was Christmas colors on this day🎄.
It has a slight ginjo aroma, but goes down the throat clean and light.
Slightly sweet? But then the bitterness comes out and you feel cheated 😝.
I think this dodge feeling is bakuren😇

The gorgeous ginjo aroma reaches the back of the nose.

They say it is a fossil label.
Clean drinking with a light sweetness😙.
Fairly light taste with a weak acidity mixed in 😐.
While it is light and easy to drink, it may not be enough for those who are looking for sweetness and acidity 🤔.
It seems to go well with anything as a food sake 🤗.
Japanese>English
ジェイ&ノビィ
Hi Hiro 😃
Fossil 🦴label! I guess it means one where the sweetness and acidity has been drained out along with the fat and the bone flavor remains 🧐It's good for those who are looking for romance!
I don't know if it means something that deep 😅.
Japanese>English
ヒロ
Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
Speaking of bones, calcium 🦴 should ferment well and make a good dry sake 🤭.
The endorsement says it's good taste and sharpness due to fossil (summary) 🙄.
Umami + sharpness = romance✨🤗.

This is my first brand ✨

It has a clean sweetness and acidity 😊.
There is also a slight umami taste.
A little bitterness is also added in the aftertaste.
And overall, it is a refreshing drink that flows smoothly.
Maybe it is because of this mouthfeel, but it makes me think, "Wasn't Zebra like this? I thought it was thicker..." 🤔.
Is this year's Zebra different from last year's?
Or it's just a memory correction😅

Extra.
While waiting for the Shinkansen, we stopped by "Fish Shop Stand Fuji" 🤗.
I heard that this is the place to go if you are in Shin-Osaka station ❗️, so my expectations were high 😏.
After a short wait, we entered the restaurant 🚶.
We started with "Kankoubai" 🍶.
The Masu on the saucer is pine, bamboo, and plum, but it doesn't matter.
It is a combination of sweetness and umami, with a little bit of umami prevailing.
A slight gaseous sensation is a little tangy on the tongue 🫧.
I ordered crab fluffy tempura with it. But it was like crab🦀 hanpen... 🙄.
I don't feel like crab 🤣.
More sake 🍶.
I had a glass of "Toyo Bijin".
It has a good balance of sweetness and umami, and is refreshing and easy to drink 😙.
I twisted my neck and wondered if it was a little carbonated 🤔. I twisted my neck and couldn't tell 🤔.
The food is fried shrimp 🦐.
This one is shrimp 🦐🦐🦐 and delicious.
In the end, I decided to forget about the crab 🦀 because the shrimp 🦐 was so good 🤪.
Here it was time for the bullet train 🚅 so we left the restaurant. There were a lot of people lined up outside.
It sure was a nice and inexpensive place to eat 🤗.

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
I'm here for one more drink 😁.
I'll have some nigori sake too 🤍.
You can clearly see the rice grains 🌾👀
It has a light and refreshing taste with the delicious flavor of rice with a sparkling carbonation 🫧.
This year they are making it more carbonated😅.
It had the sweetness of rice🌾 with a crisp mouthfeel 🤗.
On the way home, we drew lots and won the 2nd prize, a 500 yen golden ticket 🎯.
I gave it to the brewer and was about to leave when he told me that sake kasu (sake lees) was 500 yen 😄.
I took the sakekasu and left.
The toji-san is a very nice and friendly person 😁.
I would like to continue to support this brewery ✨.
Iso Masamune is a one-man brewery, so they only sell their sake at the brewery 🤔.
If you like nigori, please go to the brewery to buy it or visit the event to support the brewery 🙏.
They are open all day in December 😆.
I'm glad I came to Osaka to have a good Masamune 😊.
I only spent 3 hours there and it was only a day trip 🤣.
