Sake purchased in Nara, GW.
This is my first time to buy sake from Nakatani Sake Brewery.
It seems that they have a factory in China and also produce Chinese sake using Chinese rice.
It has a mild sweetness with a slight yogurt-like nuance. There is also a good amount of acidity.
Yamanokami yeast is a type of sasayuri. I've had Yamanokami yeast sake in the past, but I didn't know it was a flower yeast.
I heard that there used to be a raw version of this sake, but I am sure it is delicious.
It seems that this sake is also limited in stock. There was only one bottle left at the store where I bought it.
I heard that they moved the brewery that was closed at the Corona Disaster to the center of town and started a brewery where you can experience brewing.
I wonder if that's why they are discontinuing all of their existing products.

Sake I bought in Nara. I went to Nara, but I bought almost only sake from other prefectures😅.
Souvenir shop and liquor store in JR Nara station
They have almost all kinds of Nara sake, but I think Nara Izumi Yusai has a wider lineup than Izumi Yusai.
The main store seems to be located near Horyuji station.
Miyakohime has been the brand name for a long time, but I wonder if Shininshu is more famous.
I don't know who is making it now that the toji has moved to Inada Shuzo in the same city.
It is a junmai ginjo, but the rice polishing ratio is 40%, which is a mysterious spec. It is quite acidic. It's not spicy, but it has a little bit of a strong character. It is like a wine yeast sake.
