Akanesasuヌヴォー 純米吟醸 無ろ過生

I decided to do a lot of home drinking this year, so I started with Akane Nouveau. Day 1: Overall, it was too fresh and a bit weak, though I could tell it was a sweet and tasty type. I couldn't make anything out due to the influence of combining it with a slightly strong-flavored snack. There is a bit of bitterness in the back. Day 3: Melon-like ginjo aroma! This, this, this is Akanesu Nouveau! Juicy sweetness from peach to melon, richness from 3 days of aging, and chili gas! It's not sticky, it's really natural and beautiful, but it's delicious. This is it. I have three bottles, so I'll have to drink them in a hurry. The date is the date of corkage.

Strong melon-type ginjo aroma. And a hint of sweetness. It's a good first drink. I've been drinking a lot of characteristic sake lately, so I like this kind of sake once in a while.

New Year's sake review. At my favorite store in Nagano city. A sake that very few of my favorite stores in Nagano carry. Unlike regular Kame no Kai, it is not fire-aged! Already, the juiciness was totally different even in Kame-no-Kai. Because it is the top model of Kame-no-Kai, there are not many of it left, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so the more I write about it, the more I regret that I can't drink it. ......

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City. This sake is made with rice and water from Matsukawa Village and distributed only in Matsukawa Village. I personally like it best because of its softness, gorgeousness, sweetness and flavor. But it is definitely a silver/black sake for everyone, and I felt that this sake is possible only because it is not made in large quantities. I want to go to Matsukawa Village to buy it.

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City. The original brewery, Yamasei, was purchased and the new brewery, Iraka, is brewed by a toji from Daishinshu. I had received the silver and black versions of Iraka locally and thought it was an easy-drinking sake with a beautiful balance of sweet and spicy. When it became "Ai", it became more assertive and full-bodied, which is typical of sake, and I thought it was worth drinking! This is a sake that I want to support because it is a new brewery.

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City. I was one of the three trial sakes and thought, "Asamatake? Actually, I had avoided it a few years ago because it had a bit of a bitter aftertaste. However, I was surprised when I drank it this time! I had no idea it had become such a gentle, sweet-tasting sake. Apparently, the toji (master brewer) changed a few years ago, and the brewery received advice from another brewery at that time, which led to a major change. From now on, I will drink it whenever I see it.

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano city. Peach/banana type sweetness came in, and while the sweetness was quite noticeable, there was also a richness at the back, with no bitterness just before it became sticky, leaving a lingering aftertaste. It is a little different from the lush sake I like, but I thought many people might like it, so I looked at a liquor store in a station building and found a bottle that was sold out.

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City. When I hear the word "hana-yeast," I am always tempted to drink it. How about Sekizen's hana-yeast this time? It has a fresh but gentle flavor and aroma similar to that of a pear. It is not sticky, but has a gentle aftertaste. Even if there was a bitterness, it was weak and very nice. I couldn't help but want it, and the next day in the city, I bought it at a sake store on the Zenkoji temple's main street - a

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City. As recommended by the owner, it has a characteristic acidity like that of calpis. After a hint of pear-apple sweetness, it is followed by a richness, gas, and a gentle acidity like that of the previous day's calpis. It has a pleasant taste without bitterness.

New Year's sake review. At my favorite restaurant in Nagano city. This brewery started 3 years ago after buying another brewery that was originally there. This year, it seems to have become difficult to obtain. The first saké has a gorgeous aroma in the mouth, followed by a pear-like sweetness. It is not sticky, but finishes with a bit of bitterness. There is also a little gas. It is a soft sake.

At my favorite restaurant in Nagano City. The first drink of the new year. Usually I start with "Akanesu Nouveau", but this year I chose Kame no Kai by Tsuchiya Shuzo, the same brewer. The first attack was gorgeous. It reminded me of pineapple. The first attack is gorgeous, with a hint of pineapple and a touch of gas, and the tanginess is impressive. The umami gradually took effect, and the sweetness was followed by a moderate acidity and richness, and then the aroma of peaches and bananas and the richness changed to a lingering feeling at the back of the bottle. The sinking feeling when drinking this cup is unforgettable.

Year-end sake review. At "Sake" at Nagano Station. Dawn Mae gives the strong impression that it is sold at Yodobashi Camera in Tokyo. It has a slight sweetness of rice followed by a full-bodied taste, but it is not that strong. It has a hint of rice sweetness followed by a full-bodied taste, but it is not that strong. It has a nice sharpness and is easy to drink.

Year-end sake review. At "Sake" at Nagano Station. Full-bodied, crisp and dry. A little gas and bitter. Banno Shuzo is known for "Beau Michel" in recent years, but it was interesting to taste something completely different.

Pear-peach (lychee?) Fruity and gassy. But the umami taste is not too strong and rich. This is a pleasant taste. I want a bottle of this at home!

Cleaning up the water system, because I worked hard on it. I came here to drink. Sake is delicious after a hard day's work. It has a full-bodied flavor, and then it just goes down smoothly. It's so good!
