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.
We had a light drink at Ponshukan during the day, and at night we had a drink at the hotel with Iburi Gakko cheese bought at Seijo Ishii in Niigata Station and a financier sold at a souvenir store near Ponshukan.
Of course it goes well with cheese, but it also goes really well with financier! The financier's almond flavor was more pronounced when soaked in the luxurious sake.
I'm afraid I'll get fat if I start thinking about pairing sweets and sake, so I'll limit myself to financiers and manju buns sold by the piece only when I visit Niigata.
As for the taste of Nekobayama, it was a familiar one with no particular peculiarities, so I enjoyed it.
I am a person who usually drinks a 180ml bottle in a cup over a few days, but I feel that once I open a one-cup bottle, it is the last time I drink it (especially when traveling), so I think I will have trouble handling it. Let's learn.
Natural and sour taste was spreading in the mouth❗
It is characterized by a dark umami taste
One I bought at a sake festival in Australia the other day
About ten years ago,
I went to a hot spring in Echigo-Yuzawa.
I stopped by Ponshu-kan and learned about Mt.
The orthodox sake.
Good and nostalgic.
The old and good sake.
Hanami with one cup and canned sake.
Cherry blossoms are beautiful.
