The second bottle was from a local brewery.
This one was actually brewed for New Year's, but I couldn't wait for it to arrive.
I don't have to tell you how well it tastes, but I think it's a very well-balanced nigori sake!
But too energetic at the opening of the bottle 🤣. 一生の粋な酔いをRecord of this year's summer sake. Kabutomushi is an iron plate.

Eikawa Sake Brewery's Aizu Ryugasawa is brewed with the sacred water Ryugasawa spring water, which is a representative spring of the Bandai Nishiyamaroku spring group, selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan.

The sake cup is Aizu Keizan-yaki.
I had bought a sake cup with a hole in it before, but it was too hard to use (of course), so I bought a sake cup without a hole... The shape fits the handle well and the sake tastes great in the mouth.

★★★★★ 金猫魔AizuMiyazumi Junmai-Shu (unpasteurized)
For the first time in two years, I went to Aizu, where my wife's parents live.
We enjoyed Tsurugajo Castle as a continuation of the children's school trip. I've been there many times, but I never get tired of it. I can spend half a day there without hesitation.
The end of the autumn leaves was also great because it was too sunny. It was unexpectedly empty.
Of course, one of the purposes of the trip was to buy some sake as a souvenir, and this was my first trip to the prefecture since I started buying sake.
We started with Miyaizumi, a sake I have a bit of a connection with.
It has a gorgeous, banana-like aroma.
It's clear and crisp, with a slight bitterness.
A little bitterness is refreshing.
The gentle acidity makes it easy to drink, juicy, and
It has a crisp aftertaste that disappears quickly.
It is delicious. I can drink as much as I want!
And the sake cup is Aizu Keizan-yaki, a traditional craft of Fukushima. Aizu Keizan-yaki is a traditional craft of Fukushima. It started in 1592 as a pottery for making roof tiles for Tsuruga Castle.
Aizu Keizan-yaki is light, thin, easy to use, comfortable in the hand, calm color, and reasonable price. And the hole in the bottom is a dare. You can't put it down until you finish drinking sake by holding the hole with your finger.
This was interesting, but not practical.

The gasiness is unbelievable!
From the sound of opening the bottle
Exciting feeling!
The taste is fresh and very clean!
It's very easy to drink, even with the tingling.
nari happyThe first organic naturals
Rice polishing ratio 90%... unknown sake
You can feel the richness of the rice flavor that I have never had before.
There is also a slight tingling of gas.
The high rice polishing rate doesn't mean there's any unpleasant taste.
It's easy to drink.
nari happyRefreshing taste like Muscat.
Accentuated by a tingling gaseous feeling like undiluted sake.
And it is the best in terms of cost.
The more you cut the rice, the better it tastes.
The more you cut down the rice, the better it tastes.
This is a stable bottle that you should always have in your refrigerator.
nari happyIt's the first time I've had a kijoshu, and it has an amazing mellow aroma.
But it's too sweet for me personally...
A glass is enough to satisfy me, so I think it's better to drink it at a shop.
nari happyYou can feel the fruity taste typical of a sake and the refreshing flavor of Omachi. It is more umafruity than refreshing fruity.
