24-25 Winter Nigorinpic 1️⃣ Finally, our Winter Nigorinpik starts today 😇! 45 people 🤣 participated in this event. Atcha..................................................before I knew it, we had a huge number of participants😅 I think I'm doing something stupid 🤣. With such a great lineup, I don't need to buy nigori sake until the next Spring Nigorinpik 😅. I mean, Kaorin would be seriously pissed if I brought any more with me 😖. The one I chose as the top batter is this ORIGARUMI, a brewery limited edition from Mr. Mitsumorosugi 😀. Imanishi Sake Brewery is located on the approach to Omiwa Shrine in Miwa, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, which is one of the three major sake shrines in Japan 😀. Nationally, the brewery is famous for its brand name, Mimuro Sugi, but the local brand name is Mitsumorosugi😇. I visited that brewery and got this sake on December 7 😀. At that moment, I decided that this would be the top batter for the Winter Nigorinpik 😇. However, the mom at the store told me to wait 2 weeks to open the bottle because it was just bottled this morning 😅. But it was worth the two week wait 😇 Tastes and smells like fresh ripe bananas 😀. Fresh❓Ripe❓I know that's a weird thing to say, but it's just delicious💕.

コタロー
Good evening, Yasube! 45‼️ great number of entries 😳 But with the Kanji character, Sanomorosugi's brewery limited orikarami, it started early and gorgeously 🥳The taste is worth the 2 week wait ✨. Looking forward to more 👍

Hi, I'm studying 😀. Thank you 🙏. As the brewer said, it was worth the two weeks wait 😀. It seems like it's hard to find Sanmorosugi outside of Nara 😅. I'm going to enjoy nigori-style sake for a while now 😇

Hello Kotaro-san 😀 I've been missing out a lot of times because I'm not careful with seasonal nigori sake, so I decided to be proactive and this is what I got 🤣.

Hi, ma-ki-chan 😀 If you have a chance, I think it would be moderately nice to visit Mimorosugi-san from visiting Ojinsha Shrine😇. We are looking forward to your debut in Mimuro cedar 😀.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😀 I saw something in your picture 😅. I keep things in the cellar that I want to keep clear sake properly, so the nigori type is kept in the sake fridge and the home fridge and I'm afraid of Kaorin... 🤣.

Hi Kojo 😀 The fridge problem is a tough one 😅. I keep getting stares from Kaorin because half of the regular fridge for home use is also occupied by sake 🤣. We have more sake than we have fridges and cellars 😅.

Good morning, Yasbay 😊. It's started, Nigorin pick 🤍. But a great number of them 😁From now on, when my wife is about to get mad at me for the number of sake, I'll show her this image and convince her that this is the standard 🤣.

Good morning, Ace 😀 It took too long between getting Mr. Sanmorosugi and the start of the Nigorinpics, which is the reason why there were too many 🤣. We've had quite a few sake selections registered in the last two weeks😅.

Good morning, @Mizuhashi 😀 There are many historical sites related to sake in this area, so please come visit us 😀. In the neighboring city of Nara, there is a temple called Shorakuji, which is said to be the birthplace of sake, and there is also a Bodhi Hashimoto sake festival on January 11 after the new year 😀.

Good morning, Maru 😀 I'll share with you my own secret strategy to compete with your wife 😀. If you have too many in the middle, they will say something about you, but if you have so many that they are surprised, they will be appalled and won't say anything about it 🤣.

Good morning, Yasube 😃. It's started 🤍An amazing selection of sake ‼️ all of them are star selections 🍶The top batter, samorosugi, is a limited edition sake from a brewery 😍I love it, I want to try it ❣️ I can't take my eyes off your post for a while 😆

Hi HinaHanaMama 😀 When I decided to make this sake as the top batter, I eliminated HinaHanaMama's guess, MimuroSugi, from the list 😅. I know it's delicious, but since there are so many of them, I've decided to bind myself to one sake per brewery 🤣.

Walking tour of temples, shrines and sake breweries 11 Today is a walking tour of Nara 😀. We started from JR Sakurai station in Nara and walked 17 km from Abe Monjuin Temple to Oyamato Shrine in Tenri via Oomiwa Shrine and Yamanobe no Michi. 🚶‍♂️ On the way, in front of the gate of Oomigami Shrine is the Imanishi Sake Brewery of Mimuro Cedar 😀. The store at the brewery only carries the local brand of samorosugi, no mimurosugi at all 🤣. Lucky for us, we got a bottle of the newest limited edition Ooragarami sake that was just released today 😇. They didn't offer any tasting at all, so we moved to the branch in front of Miwa station where they offer tasting for a fee 😀. We had a new sake doburoku, a new sake junmai hatsushibori and a junmai daiginjo dewy leaf style. I think you can only experience that kind of dobrokku, sweetness, richness and petitiveness at the brewery 😇. I was also able to get a souvenir for myself, a new brewery limited edition ogara-mi, so it was a very satisfying walking trip😇.

Good evening, Yasube-san 🌒. I see you went to Imanishi Sake Brewery👍. I'm glad you were able to get some orikarami at the right time 😊. Onigomimi, I've never heard of it before!

Yasbay, it was a good day for a walk in Nara👀 and a visit to a fascinating brewery 😋.

Hi Maru-san 😀 I think going to a brewery is a great way to discover new brands you don't normally see, get unexpected freshly pressed sake, and have many other fun encounters 😀. Plus you get to walk around a lot, so it's even better 🤣.

Hi Masaaki Sapporo 😀 Ookami shrine is said to be the God of Sake, and Sanmorosugi-san, located in front of the shrine, has been a sake shop for a long time 😇. Yamanobe no Michi is also an old road that dates back to the Manyo period and was a nice walk!

Good evening, Yasube! I went there last month too, but they didn't have any limited edition warehouse 😭 Dubrok looks delicious too ‼️ I wonder if that's Imanishi-san's mom? She talks a lot 😁. Walking 17 km 🚶 that's awesome😁.

Ao, good evening 😀 The mom at the store told me to wait a week for the second fermentation in the bottle before opening the bottle since it was just packed and put on the shelf today 🤣. I'm getting fat since I started drinking sake, so I have to walk even on my days off😅.

Drinking at home. Visited the brewery to buy. When I asked the clerk what he recommended, he ignored the gold medal winning sake 🥇 next to it and recommended this one 😅. They say it is the best sake 🍶. So here is the sake. 100% Yamada-Nishiki When you open the bottle, you can smell the sweet aroma 😚. This is ❗️ and expectations are high 😤. The color is clear. The sweetness is thin melon🍈🧐. Or light tasting grapes🍇🤔. After a few sips I'm lost 😅. The mouthfeel feels clean and transparent, and goes down your throat like water💧. No bitterness or astringency at all. The ginjo aroma leaves a soft sweet scent that lingers softly: ☺️ Polished, clear, and elegant sake 🍶. Certainly "the best of the best work of samorosugi" 😆👍.

Drinking at home. Visit the brewery and purchase. They sell the Kanji Samorosugi only in Nara prefecture. The clerk explained that the tanks are different from the ones they serve outside the prefecture😄. I bought 2 bottles in total, but I can't take them home with me 🆒 so I will send them by express mail 📦. It's sake 🍶. 100% Yamadanishiki from Nara Prefecture Color is a little amber🟡. Smell is sweet. It is not so strong. Taste is green apple 🍏 type sweetness. But not flashy and mature 🤔. The whole sake is tight and dry-like 🙂‍↕️ Flows down the throat with a slight carbonation🫧. The ginjo aroma leaves a unique scent of momimuro cedar. I get the impression that it is much less sweet than the previous Mimuro Sugi. I have the feeling that if it were reduced any further, it would upset the balance 🤔. Still, it's great that you can still taste that you are drinking Mimuro cedar 😳.

Today, we visited the Imanishi Sake Brewery head office in Miwa, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, where "Mimuro Sugi" is produced. We were very excited to see the historic brewery! (Photos were taken with the permission of the brewery👍) And then... We chose the "Mimurosugi" series, which is distributed only at the brewery and local directly-managed stores and is written in Kanji characters (special dealers distribute "Mimurosugi" written in Hiragana characters) 😊. We were able to purchase an unfiltered Junmai Ginjyo, which they had just put on the store shelves today! (Thank you very much for your kind explanation!) So we drank it with a grouper hot pot using grouper we caught the other day and it is so delicious 🥺. Freshness, fruity sweetness, crisp finish, all really delicious! I hope to visit Imanishi Shuzo again♪
