Izakaya near Hakozaki Station
drink cold sake
Clear and colorless
The aroma is mild.
Very tasty on the palate with a fruity, robust rice flavor.
The impression is clear with no hint of bitterness.
It has a sharp taste, but it is very refreshing with little dryness.
When paired with ponzu salad of albacore, it enhances the flavor of the side dish without a fishy smell.
It is delicious even if you drink only sake.
Polishing ratio 55% (Uonuma polished rice)
Alcohol 15 min.
The color is yellow and the aroma is soft.
The label on the back of the bottle says that it was produced in May and that after bottling, it is kept in a "snow room" warehouse at a low temperature before shipping. I took it back after hearing that a friend of mine who doesn't drink sake had given it to a friend in Niigata and it had been languishing at home for a long time.
When I first drank it cold, it still had a hint of a twinge, but it had a strong sweetness and umami flavor.
Contrary to its appearance, it is mellow, dry, and quite heavy! I was surprised at how well it warmed up. I had it cold at first and then warmed up 🍶I was surprised at how well it warmed up 🤔.
Pickles with mustard flavor, sausage

I also went to Imadaiji.

Ordered "Abe Junmai Ginjo", "Maryo Itsuki Junmai Namaishu", "Ichisozo (something other than *21)", "Takachidai Junmai Shiboritate Namaishu", etc. at Echigo Ichikai Juro.
The sake-based plum wine from Sukibarizuru was delicious!
7/10
Tsururei's new sake Shiboritate.
It is a seasonal product every year at this time.
It is a very good sake as a food sake.
For some reason, I was drinking it together with a senior I had never met before who was sitting next to me, talking about how good it was.
It is fresh, but has a good umami flavor.
It is best at room temperature.
