It's been two years since I've been home.
We met my parents who were waiting for us at the station and had lunch at soba noodles restaurant in front of the station.
We had a cup of Hegi Soba.
It was orthodox dry and ordinary sake.
There are two sake breweries in Ojiya, one is Takanoi's.
Hello, Mr. Hiratcho😃.
I'm glad to hear that❗️
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's having a bad time.
Oh, sake and soba too 😁.
Hello, Hilacchio😄.
It's good to be back home for the first time in two years 🎶I really don't have a Corona...
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. I'm sure you'll love it.
Good evening, Haruei Chichi.
I managed to go back to my hometown at the right time, and I am enjoying the air of my hometown.
The Joetsu Shinkansen line takes you into Niigata Prefecture, where you can see the autumn colours on the mountains of Echigo Yuzawa, the scenery of Uonuma, and the Hegi soba noodles.
Good evening, T.KISO.
I was wondering when I would be able to go back home because of the disaster of Corona.
Hegisoba is very delicious. I would like to pair it with local sake👍.
A glass at room temperature.
Slight alcohol smell. The taste is weak and mellow in the mouth. After that, it goes away sparsely, but it is gentle taste in general. It has no peculiarities and is perfect for eating.
Most of the super dry sakes I've had have a strong acidity, but this one is crisp and refreshing. It's relatively mild on the palate, but the spiciness doesn't linger, so it's a great sake to drink while eating!
It is a versatile sake that goes well with both sweet and salty snacks!
This sake was brewed for the Niigata Sake no Jin.
It is a limited sake that was sold because 2021 was also cancelled.
I want to go to the Niigata Sake Festival someday.
Stored in snow, 100% Uonuma-grown rice
I bought this Uonuma rice in a jacket.
Since it's from Niigata, I thought it would be light and dry or a little rice-y, but it turned out to be a bit disappointing in a good way.
It has a sweet taste with a hint of melon. Rice flavor and sourness, the sourness reminds me a little of cucumber.
The mouthfeel is gentle.
Well, there is Niigata as expected!
Junmai Ginjo made from rice and rice koji produced in Niigata Prefecture and the rich water of Uonuma, Niigata. It is a famous sake from Takanoi Sake Brewery near Ojiya Station on the Joetsu Line.
When you sip it and taste it carefully, it is also fruity. It smells like grapes. However, unlike wine, the sake is tight and firm. It is very well made. It reminds me of the clear stream of Uono River.
By the way, we had Mapo Tofu as a snack.
No oli or teri.
A little alcohol lingers on the nose and tip of the tongue.
It goes well with okoge senbei and home pie salt.
#2020 Niigatake no Jin #MySake no Jin
The 8th apostle of the mini sake camp at home. It has just the right amount of glamour, and is light and dry. Very Niigata-like. It has a slight sweetness and is delicious.
