It has a light, pale mouthfeel with a hint of ginjo sweetness.
Basically, it is Niigata's light and dry.

Tamagawa Sake Brewery is located in the heart of Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, in a beautiful rural area surrounded by majestic mountains. From the lush greenery of summer to one of Japan's deepest snowfalls each winter, this idyllic land offers the best of all four seasons, and this delicious local sake, brewed in Uonuma since 1673, is as much loved today as it was then. Tama Flavor - Welcome to Uonuma.
This is a sake gift from a friend of mine who is like a big brother to me!
He knows a lot about sake and always gives me his recommendations and buys me local sake as a souvenir on every trip...!

Dry, crisp and mature taste!
But the sake is as clear as water, and even though I personally am not very good at dry sake, I was able to drink it easily and enjoyed it!
Thank you very much for the drink!
This bottle was served at a ryokan in Niigata where I stayed with my wife.
The first time I drank it, I was impressed by its softness.
The next day, I went directly to the brewery. The proprietress politely guided me to the brewery and said, "First, drink the water.
The spring water, which was super soft, was as soft and tasty as if it had been melted snow itself.
The ryokan offered only brewed sake, but I bought a bottle of ginjo, which the proprietress recommended.
It was a rounded bottle that directly reflected the gentleness of the water nurtured in the heavy snowfalls of Uonuma.
The taste is quiet like a snow chamber, and is deeply satisfying.

Lastly, we had the original Galapagos from the Sake Cost Sake Brewery.

It is quite light and refreshing. If it is said that it is typical Niigata sake 🤔.
I've accumulated so many cards that come with the sake that I don't even have this many cards to exchange business cards😅.
I was playing "let's play duels" with those cards 🤣! 🤣.
That was the end of the first meeting!
We said goodbye to Kyuzo-san and Hirupeko-san and went to the after-party...

I think I asked for sweet sake.
I've had it and written about it in the past, but it's sweet like juice.
It's not so much sweet as it is sweet and sour.
I've written in past posts that it's like white wine, but I couldn't tell how wine-like it was😅
I think the raw sake of this was even more sour 🤔.
I think there were a lot of Tamagawa sake brewery's sake in this restaurant!

Phew! Spicy! LOL!
It is refreshing! The aftertaste of the first bite is not so spicy!
It's like you can feel the sweetness for a moment, but you can't tell that until you taste it - it's spicy after all!
