Purchased at Ponshukan in Niigata.
Delicious 😋.
No peculiarities, but a richness and a slight sweet aftertaste 😌.
No sourness, just my taste 😊.
I like it very much 🤤.
I can't buy it anymore! I can't buy this one anymore though... 🥲.

Yesterday, Albirex Niigata decided to advance to the final of the Lewan Cup! That's amazing! That's great!
I want to go to the National Stadium!
I used to run Niigata City Marathon on Sports Day.
I used to run Niigata City Marathon, but it's been a while. Maybe I'll run it next year.
A matured ginjo aroma that spreads calmly and smoothly.
Smooth and smooth on the palate
The stimulation of alcohol that immediately hits you.
A matured, thick, strong flavor,
The dry taste is sharp and refreshing,
It has a nice, robust flavor and is very drinkable on the rocks.
It's delicious.
The recommendation was to drink it warmed on the rocks, so I gave it a try. It was quite interesting, though the temperature changed very quickly as there was no large ice cubes.
It tastes best lukewarm because of its softness and sweetness.
But 19 degrees is still very strong.
Tamagawa Shuzo is a popular sake brewery among the Furusato tax payers,
I wonder what kind of sake they will return this year!

Uonuma Tamagawa Sake Brewery, Tama flavor ❣️
Last year they won the gold medal at the Monaco SAKE AWARD!
They won the gold medal at the international wine challenge this year 🥇!
Delicious 😋👍!
Honjozo of "Tama-Savoury" from Suhara (formerly Morimon-mura), Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture.
By the way, "Morimon" is read as "Sumon".
As is typical of Uonuma sake, it can be served cold or hot, and has a deep flavor.
The following is the product description of Tama Flavor Honjozo from the brewery's website.
Good flavor. Good character. Good appearance.
This is the representative brand of Tamagawa Sake Brewery, which has been brewing sake since 1673. This delicious honjozo sake has been brewed in pursuit of a perfect match with the cuisine of Uonuma, a region with deep snow. It is recommended by local drinkers for its unchanged taste that has been handed down from the company's founding.
One of my classmates from high school is a sake lover from Morimon Village who is definitely in the "local drinker" category, and today I asked him about the best temperature range to drink Tama Flavor Honjozo,
He replied that it can be served at any temperature, but it should be served lukewarm.
It is exquisite👍.
A 50% polished Junmai Daiginjo, Meguro Gorosuke, from Tama Flavor in Uonuma City (formerly Morimon Village), Niigata Prefecture.
As is typical of Uonuma sake, it is a ginjo-shu that is not overly aromatic.
I remember drinking it once at Tatsuya, a yakiton (grilled pork dumpling) restaurant in Numabukuro on the Seibu Shinjuku Line.
Uonuma Tama Flavor Honjozo
A clear, dry sake with a nice alcohole flavor, just like a cup of Niigata sake 🍶.
At a standing bar in front of a station in Niigata Prefecture: ☺️
It's the key, apparently.
It has a mellow aroma with a sense of vinegar, and a rich flavor that combines the full-bodied sweetness of low-alcoholic sake with the refreshing acidity of white malted rice. It reminds me of Akishika's sake mother sake, and in Gunma, it is close to Tsuchida F. This is my favorite type. I drank it chilled, but I am also interested in heating it up.
