I drank three different kinds with this one. Clear compared to the others. It has a light and elegant taste. They are all delicious, but if I had to choose one, I think I like Hatsuyuki the best.
Room temperature. With a Bizen ware cup from the same Okayama Prefecture.
I like my sake super cold, but I think I may be waking up to room temperature lately.
I asked for something refreshing for my first drink and they served it to me. It was gassy and perfect!
This is the first standing bar I've ever been to.
Carbonated, refreshing and easy to drink. It has a distinct grape and muscat flavor. It is amazing how much grape flavor can be achieved with sake. The moderate aroma and flavor make it easy to pair with meals.
With octopus carpaccio. Sawanohana really goes well with fish, doesn't it? This reminds me that Nagano is a sea-less prefecture. After all, all kinds of dishes go well with Sawanohana.
Nagi 10th anniversary event.
It seems to be Izumigawa in 2011. (They said the letters were almost gone and could not read well).
It is amazingly mellow and easy to drink like an old sake.
