Nigorizake (muddled sake) from the former village of Sumon (now part of Uonuma City).
Snow of Morimon
It has a delicious rice flavor, sweetness, and a soothing taste that increases when heated.
I have a friend from Morimon Village who was a classmate of mine in high school, and while he wasn't much of a drinker in high school, he has become quite a drinker since he started working.
He doesn't pay attention to the trendy sake, but he loves to drink the local "Tamaflavor", and he drinks it heated even in summer.
My friend moves around Niigata Prefecture for work, and when he is in Itoigawa, he drinks Kenshin.
When he is in Itoigawa, he drinks Kenshin, and when he is in Niigata City, he drinks Tsuru no Tomo.
When he is in Murakami, he drinks Taiyomori and Seharihatsuru.
I've been enjoying them in local pubs and at night, and this is exactly what I like about Echigo's sake.
I once had a drink with a friend who is a sake drinker in the Niigata Station area when I was there on a business trip.
In total, we may have drunk more than one bottle per person.
This is a memory of drinking a lot.
Shinshu Shiboritate Tamaflavored unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Aromas of mellow fruits like melon, muscat, and banana, with plenty of sweetness like cotton candy.
The bitterness comes from the sweetness that fills the mouth and the strong alcohol that appears soon after.
You might get drunk with just one sip!
Perhaps it was because I let the new sake sit for a month or so, but I felt that the sweetness was a little overdone. It got just fine when I carbonated it!
I think it would go well with cream cheese and dried fruits.
3.0
Oro-sweetness on the palate.
Like a muscat?
It's easy to drink, and if it's a sake to be enjoyed during a meal, it's more suitable for Western food than Japanese food.
It may be good as a dessert after a meal.
If you heat it up to 50 degrees or more, you can enjoy it like a hot lemonade. It's getting colder, so I'd like to enjoy it hot.
Postscript
I tried it hot.
Hot lemonade!
It sure is!
Delicious.
I'm getting it in a demitasse cup.
Itkey can be very good in winter when you want to warm up.
It's so deep.
Return Series.
With the concept of "to the world", alcohol 12℃.
It's something I've been curious about because of my perception that it's an emerging force in Niigata.
It's a white wine taste. Almost a white wine. The sourness of the wine was so strong that I gave up on it.
I made a mistake and drank it at room temperature first.
Hmm?
It says "at 5°C or 50°C".
I chilled it in the fridge and drank it.
It tastes totally different!
It's fruity like a sweet wine.
You can feel muscat.
It's so easy to drink, you'll drink too much.
It would definitely go well with pongrias.
It's not good with Japanese food.
It's good for the cost.
I would recommend it to friends who are not yet into sake!
It has a sweet and sour aroma of lactic acid, and the color of the sake is quite yellow. It is low in alcohol for sake, and tastes like sweet and sour fruit juice.
Another bottle I drank yesterday. I have the impression that the Tama flavor is calm, but it is gorgeous as the name suggests, using Hiroshima Ginjo yeast, which I haven't experienced in many other Niigata sakes. This one also has an even stronger green apple-like aroma, smooth and light.
