Like last year, I went to the brewery and bought it during a trip to Ueda in GW.
I drank it a long time ago, so I forgot a lot of things.
I have another bottle, so I'll write more details when I open it.

I bought a bottle of Fresh Mimuro Cedar Dry, I was curious.
No schwash, a little yellowish when poured into a glass. The aroma is mild but fruity.
In the mouth, it has a little acidity, a lot of umami, and no bitterness.
It is dry but has no sharp edges, so it is very easy to drink.
The soft impression in the mouth is the same all the way through to after swallowing.
It is not what one would call dry, but it seems to go well with all kinds of food, so even people who do not like dry sake or sake beginners can enjoy drinking this sake.

In some circles, the magic word is junmai ginjo unfiltered nama sake.
As an example, I am also under that magic, so I bought it. I was curious to know what kind of sake it was, as it has a Sake Degree of +8.
Calm aroma, the type that doesn't move anything when the bottle is opened. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a little chili.
The flavor is so rich that it is hard to believe that it is unfiltered and unpasteurized! It's a bit sticky, like a +8 sake. ＋The sweetness is not sticky like a +8 sake, but the sweetness from the umami of the rice can be felt well, and the acidity is also strong, making it a cohesive sake.
It has a freshness that is typical of nama-shu, making it easy to drink.
However, I like strong acidity, so I do not mind it at all, but some people may be bothered by the acidity coming out.
Personally, I prefer a strong acidity.

I was caught by the cool jacket and bought it just as it was getting a little hot.
The aroma is fresh and grapefruit-like, typical of Takachiyo.
It has a nice grapefruit aroma with a hint of chirichiri, which is typical of nama-zake. It is juicy, fresh, sweet, and full of flavor for a nama sake.
It is juicy and fresh, with a sweetness and acidity like greefruit. Yes, it's delicious.
It has all the goodness of Takachiyo, and the milky mildness of orikarami is also very good.
If you are looking for freshness but volume, this is the one you should definitely try!

Unfiltered, Nama, Harazake, Junmai Ginjo, Nigori.
If you look at the specs alone, it is a perfect match. Just the words alone made me drool.
It took about 3 minutes to open the bottle, as indicated by the opening caution tag.
The impression on the palate was umami! It has a good amount of sweetness.
It has a good amount of sweetness, but it has a strong umami that you can feel from the tip of your tongue, which I really like!
It is creamy with a strong and creamy ooze. It is a Calpis sour with a strong umami.
However, the overall cohesiveness and balance of the sake is just about perfect. It's not that it's bad, but I personally thought it would be a perfect sake if it had a more cohesive taste while still having a lot of volume.
It made me realize that there are still some good sake that we don't know about and are not famous for.
A repeat purchase is confirmed.

This is one of a set of 3 bottles I received. It contains Tokyo sake, but is it sold as a souvenir?
It has almost no aroma. When poured into a glass, it is yellowish and full of umami.
There is no stimulation when you put it in your mouth, and the umami is juicy, with a slight twist of acidity.
After swallowing, you can feel a little bit of alcohol, but it is not unpleasant.
I drank it at room temperature, and got the impression that it was a hearty and delicious food sake.
I drank it with a bowl of tendon that I bought at the supermarket, which was a great decision. It was delicious.

There was a Takeyuki liquor store special Ver, so I bought it out of curiosity.
Not that I really like Takeyuki, but I'm curious about test brewing and only being sold at that liquor store.
The aroma is muscat-like, and on the palate, it's...kind of blah, huh? The taste is not clear.
Another sip, yeah, not that much.
At first I was surprised by the unpleasant atmosphere. Thin sugar water, a little acid, a little hot throat type of drink.
Yeah, I didn't dislike it, but I didn't like it.
It's 15%, so it's a bit heavy to drink, but it doesn't have a heavy feeling. In the best case, it is easy to drink.
It's a little bit of both, so I don't like it, but I don't dislike it.

The second Nagano souvenir. Beaumichel, a well-known wine-like product. This is the first time.
It smells like wine when you open the bottle. Even after taking a sip, it tastes like wine.
The acidity and astringency are much lighter than those of wine, but I am confident that I will never be able to answer that it is sake at the bridging.
Although it is 9% alcohol, it is not at all thin. It has a sweetness and acidity like grapes and apples, and it doesn't feel watery.
I don't like the astringency of wine, and I don't like red wine, or even white wine, but this one tastes great. Well, it's not wine, so it doesn't matter.
If only wine bars had this, I wouldn't have to spend so much time in pain! I really wish they had this in wine bars.
It's perfect for a toast. It was delicious.
The downside is the capacity of 500mm.

Purchased when I visited Nagano. This is my first time to buy Kawanakajima.
The label on the back of the bottle said "Shake well", so I stirred it from the beginning.
Even so, I could tell even before I opened the bottle that it was very thick.
Opened the bottle.
Of course, it is a bit thick on the palate. The acidity is quite strong and full of flavor.
The acidity is strong until the aftertaste, so you don't feel the heaviness, but the overall volume is large.
Yamamoto's "Do" has a sludgy impression, but perhaps it is because it is so smooth that there is no impression of sludginess. It is a smooth and smooth type of nigori sake.
I like it as one of the top-ranked dry nigori sake.

Mimuro-sugi is not my favorite type of sake, but I bought a packet of it.
I thought it would be very shwashy, but it was only lightly shwashy when I opened the bottle. I thought so, but when I opened the bottle, it was just a light sizzle. But then the automatic stirring device was activated. But it did not overflow.
When you pour it into a cup, it is very shwashy. The mouthfeel is moderate and pleasant.
It has a smooth sweetness like apples and peaches, a little acidity, and an astringent aftertaste.
The alcohol seems to be 13 degrees, or rather, it feels much lighter than 13 degrees. It is light, but it is not lacking. It is fresh, fresh anyway.
It's not my favorite, as I like heavier wines, but this is delicious.

The schwash is great. I opened and closed the bottle several times and opened it successfully. The automatic stirring device worked well.
The cloudy, creamy aroma is mixed with a grapefruit-like acidity.
The texture is a maximum of shwashy on the tongue! But the impression is that it does not come as a surprise. The schwash is still there.
The taste is well-balanced with citrus sweetness, acidity, and a hint of bitterness.
The sweetness is just right, the volume is just right, and the finish is just right.
The hexagonal balance is the best, and it is overwhelmingly inexpensive.
If you think about it in terms of cost performance, it is the best sake I have ever encountered.

Kido is a cosy and delicious sake 😊.

This is my first time to taste Dio Abita, which is reputed to be delicious and tasty.
The aroma is fresh pear. Is it fire-roasted? I don't know the specs, but the aroma is promising.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a little bit of chili.
It is quite light, as is typical of low-alcoholic beverages. The sweetness is reminiscent of pear and peach.
There is a bit of astringency in the aftertaste, but the flavor is really clear all the way through.
Delicious, delicious, but I have to reconfirm that I prefer a more profound sake.
The fact that I feel it is lacking is completely a matter of taste.
Super light, but I don't have the impression that it is lacking.

My first time at Tenbi. I bought it as soon as I got off the Shinkansen.
The bottle was opened with a light swoosh. The aroma was peachy, perhaps influenced by the label.
The mouthfeel is a light shwash. It is light but sweet, but also dry.
After the sweetness, there is a slight acidity and astringency. Then there is a fruity sweetness that traces the edges of the tongue. The sweetness here is a bit sticky.
I'm still in awe of Amami.
I tried it with caprese, kiriboshi-daikon and shijimi clam miso soup, and as expected, the caprese went perfectly with it.

This is my first time drinking Raifuku's nigori sake, X.
I was disappointed that it didn't shrivel up at all, even though there was a warning tag to open the bottle. It was a little different from what I expected.
The only thing I know about it is that it is a nigori (nigori) sake, but I don't know what it is.
The aroma was sweet. A sip.
Well, I don't like it very much. It's not that I don't want to drink it or that it tastes bad. It's just that it's not my favorite type.
The sweetness comes to the front, and it is sweet from a little acidity. There is a cloudy lactic acidity.
After a while after swallowing, you feel an astringent taste at the back of your throat.
When I look at my own writing, I think it's the type I like, but why?
One thing I can tell is that it has no volume and seems a little thin, which is a negative for me.
I also feel that there is less of Raifuku's flair and less of it.

First time in the mountains.
I only know one liquor store that sells it, and when I go there, they don't sell it, or even if they do, I end up buying a different kind of sake. I could not buy it due to the following reasons. I could not buy it.
There were several kinds of sake, but I chose an orthodox one.
It has a thick sweetness on the palate, and when it dries, it becomes sticky.
There is a banana-like taste, but overall it is muscat-like. I'm not sure, but it's very fruity. It's so fresh that it's hard to believe it's once-fired.
The sweetness spreads in the mouth until after swallowing, and then the umami overlaps in the mouth.
Yes, as expected of Yamama. It is as good as its reputation.
The mouthfeel, volume, and balance are all at a high level.

New Year's nigori pick.
Urasato's light nigori, which has been well-received recently, has been sitting in the refrigerator, but was opened today.
When we opened the bottle, the automatic stirrer was activated, but it did not overflow.
When it was poured, it was quite a bit of a sizzle, and when I took a sip, it was quite a bit of a sizzle! It is totally different from the vigor at the time of opening the bottle.
It has a fresh sweetness as if you are biting into a peach, with a slight melon flavor.
You can feel the sweetness and immediately taste the umami. The mouthfeel is light, but the volume is wonderful. It is honestly delicious with a great balance.
The moment you swallow it, you can feel a little acidity and astringency, so you can drink it without feeling sluggish.
It is good as an aperitif or with Western food. Of course, it is also good on its own.
It may be my favorite among Urasato's wines.

Nigorinmpic is temporarily interrupted, and the first shot of the New Year is Tasake's mezameyaki (rice wine), here.
It has a nice aroma of fresh apples.
A sip, and yes, it tastes like apple juice.
The sweetness is like molasses in the center of the tongue, while the tartness is like apple around the tongue.
It is perfect as an aperitif. If you want to pair it with a meal, I think it would be good with Italian dishes such as caprese.
It does not have a full-bodied flavor, and it is not very drinkable, but it is a delicious wine. It is a very happy occasion!

Nigorinpic continues to be held.
Here is the best Ramune sake in my opinion.
Miyazumi Junmai Nigori. From the moment the bottle is opened, it has a nice, rumney-like aroma.
Even before you put your mouth to the cup, you can feel the sweet and sour aroma of ramune in your nostrils! It has a great freshness.
It has a very fine gasiness and a chirichiri-ness that is typical of new sake.
A silky pear-like sweetness is felt from the tip of the tongue to the back of the throat, followed by the astringency of new sake.
The sweetness and a little bit of astringency that comes afterwards is a good accent.
It is because of its lightness that it gives a satisfying impression.
It is indeed a great bottle. It is a light and tasty sake that can be drunk without a side dish or as an aperitif.

It is still muddy and still ongoing.
I expect it's a sloppy looking type, which I prefer. I didn't know it was alsobe. I didn't know that, but I don't mind. If it tastes good, it's good, if not, it's bad.
Just pour it in and it's sloshing! It looks delicious by itself!
It is supposed to be dry, but the sweetness of the rice is unexpected. It has a clean and refreshing aftertaste. It is a new sensation.
It was a little different from what I expected, but it was delicious.
The sludge is thicker than Yamamoto's "Do", and it is easy to drink even though it is mellow and sweet.
I'm glad I bought it.

Nigorinpic is still being held.
This is a well-known sake that is closer to doburoku than sake.
I am not a big fan of doburoku, but this is one of the sakes I always want to buy every year.
I wondered how long it would take to open the bottle this year. When I twisted the cap, it just started to rise slowly. It was a bit too long, so I tightened the cap once, but I was in a completely easygoing mode, thinking, "This is not so bad. It came down quickly, so I loosened the cap a little, and then, 'Puju! I was caught off guard.
Yes, I was caught off guard. There is no way this sake is that easy, right? But I was glad that it only splashed on my desk.
After 5 minutes of struggle, the bottle was safely opened.
Just pouring it in, it was a bit too thick! The concentration is about the same as that of swallowed yogurt.
Although the concentration is high, I don't feel any heaviness, partly because of the shuwashuwa. Last year, it had a strong dry taste, but this year it feels mellow and easy to drink.
But it feels less sweet, so I don't think I'll get tired of drinking it. It might fill you up, lol.
It was delicious this year, too.
