Today, Mt. Naeba.
At Echigo-Yuzawa.
Anyway, the rice is good.
New Koshihikari rice from Minamiuonuma.
Seriously good.
Sorry, it's not so much the sake, but the rice is really delicious...

This is the loot from Nagaoka - Naeba where I went a while ago✨
I bought it at the brewery🤗
The first sip feels like a white wine 🍾.
It has sweetness, umami, and a bitter aftertaste 😚.
I thought it was alcohol like with the occasional sharp sensation, but it was surprisingly alcohol added 🤗.
I guess all breweries are getting better at adding alcohol these days ✨.
Once again we have a souvenir from my mother🍶, Naebayama from the Naeba Sake Brewery, which she purchased on her trip to Niigata. Yuki no Mayu is well-known, but this one has a higher alcohol content of 18%. The label gives a hint of austerity.
The aroma is alcholic and deliciously spicy. When you sip it, the mildly tasty and spicy taste spreads and you feel a heavy fall. The high alcohol content warms the body. It has been a while since I drank a robust sake.
I paired it with komatsuna greens and crab cakes, and it was delicious. I think it goes well with simple salty snacks like those served at izakaya (Japanese style pubs). Delicious✨
Slightly greenish and clear, with aromas of yogurt, cooked rice, melon, honeysuckle, and lime. The attack is rather strong and refreshing.
acidity, with a moderate sweetness and a long finish.
Today I stayed in Mito for work, so I had dinner plus a glass of sake for dinner!
This is a comparison of Niigata sake.
First up is a classic from the "Yuki no Mayu" brewery.
Aromatic and medium-bodied, the initial feeling is of clean water that
complex complex of umami.
Naeba-yama, shouldn't it be advertised more?
An affiliated company brought it all the way from Niigata.
Nabae-san is famous as a ski resort in winter. Fuji Rock is also held there.
The sake tasted like a real sake, just like a real sake! We had a lot of sake!
Thank you very much for the sake.
