I'm a Nagano resident and I'm interested in learning about local sake.
I've been spending more time drinking at home since I got a cute dog.

I'll drink it with an open mind.
It has a neutral aroma, but a fruity and rich flavor.
This would likely pair well with dishes that complement sparkling wine.
Local sake, a point of pride in Shinshu, sold at the famous Tsuruya supermarket.
It's a low-alcohol sake with a smooth, mellow flavor.
You can drink it down easily.
I received this sake for a family birthday.
It has a refreshing effervescence and a muscat aroma that fills your mouth.
While you might expect it to be sweet, it has a crisp, dry finish.
"Shichiken" is a sake brewery I always stop by for when I'm in Yamanashi.
It has a gentle aroma, sweetness, and acidity.
An elegant sake, perfect to drink with a meal!
I had some local sake at my lodging and paired it with gibier.
Its "nama-zake" (unpasteurized sake) characteristics were gentle, offering a dry and full-bodied taste.
This is a "challenge sake" crafted using a new rice variety from Nagano Prefecture called "Shinkoushu 555" (Yamamizuki).
It's incredibly delicious with the fresh acidity and fruity notes characteristic of unpasteurized nama-zake.
There's a pleasant ginjo fragrance, followed by an initial burst of sweetness, then a zesty, tart finish.
The bottle's design is refreshingly cool and perfect for summer!
This is a rare summer sake brewed with Sasashigure rice, the same variety I ate when I was a child.
Its refreshingly dry taste evokes those bygone summers, cooled by an evening shower.
Happy Father's Day!
This is a special collaboration sake between "Chibi Maruko-chan" and Hatsukame Brewery.
It's my first time trying Reiwa Homarefuji.
To be able to drink Hatsukame... Hiroshi must be rich!
