At room temperature, the aroma has a peculiar character that overturns the image of Niigata's refreshing junmai. It may be an exaggeration, but it is about the same as the difference between potato and barley in shochu. It may be suitable for sake connoisseurs.
When heated up, the aroma softens and the pleasant acidity becomes more pleasant, making it easier to drink. It is a bottle that is fun to drink at different temperatures.
We had Naeba-yama at home, which we bought as a souvenir on our way to Nozawa. We had carbonara for dinner, and it was delicious, just like white wine. It was a little sweet, but I didn't mind it at all halfway through, and it went very well with the meal.
I am enjoying a limited-edition Naebayama sake that I bought on my trip at home. It is light and fluffy, and the taste of rice spreads on the palate. It is delicious.
There is almost no ginjo aroma...or perhaps none at all.
Nevertheless, the sake tastes of rice, yet it can be drunk easily.
There is no bitterness at all, so it is a dangerous sake that slides smoothly down the throat.
I think it is a ginjo-style sake without being a ginjo-style sake.
Soba mae at Shigezo in front of Tokamachi Station. The Naebayama soba was crisp and spicy, with a full-bodied flavor that came later. I asked for some wasabi for my entrée, and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of sake and kamaboko (fish cake). The hegisoba was also excellent. I discovered that wasabi is made with wasabi, but hegisoba is made with mustard.... #Hegisoba in Tokamachi
Sake made with Hiroshima yeast in a two-stage brewing process by the well-known Naebayama Shuzo brewery, known for its single-stage brewing process, Kuzumori.
A full aroma with a sweet rice flavor, like white dumplings, and a slight, strange acidity.
The taste is indeed mainly rice sweetness, but there is also some complexity of grains, and the unique sourness adds to it, making it complex and, for me personally, somewhat subtle.
Well, it's not that it's not tasty, but it's just not to my taste.
At my birthplace.
My parents had prepared this sake without drinking it until my return home. Honjozo from the brewery "Naebayama", which is also talked about in "Kosu-Mori".
Niigata Prefecture's sake is characterized by the high and stable level of its regular and honjozo class sake at almost all breweries.
It is not easy to find honjozo class sake unless you are a local, and since it is from "Naebayama," I was looking forward to drinking it.
It is a light, yet slightly umami (flavorful) sake, and although not flashy, it is a normally tasty honjozo.
It is a nice touch 😌.
Hiraccio, good evening 😊.
The dinner scene at your parents' house looks delicious ✨Maybe the one in the front right is "ego"? 👀I bought some for the first time on the corner the other day and ate them dipped in vinegared miso. It was chewy and delicious 😋.
Good evening, bouken 😀.
The green food on the right side of the glass is ego (igo), which is a tocorotene made from boiled and hardened seaweed, kind of like a soft konjak.
It is healthy ❗️.
Good evening, Mr. Aaru Sake 😀.
It's ego (igo)👍
Vinegared miso is good. As a side note, I went to Teradomari on the 13th for the first time in a while and went to Kadokami Gyorui Honten.
I had a good time with squid grilled on the beach. I will add the second photo.
Thank you, Mr. Hiraccio 😄
The Hamayaki Ras (roasted squid) looks delicious 🦑 As always, the main store!
I've bought Fukuoka's "okkyuto" from Kakunoue before, but never Niigata's "ego"!
Good morning, Aaru Sake 😃.
I have never had "oxtail" but there is a rumor that it is similar to "ego"? I have a vague image of it.
I would like to try it.
Excuse me for coming in from the side ❗️
It's a kind of "ochu" and "egonori" that is hardened (boiled and dissolved) and cut into tokoro-ten (tokoro-ten) shape and eaten!
Tamori used to make a joke about it 😁.
It's pretty good 👍
Are you related to Fukuoka ❓
Hi Hiraccio and Haruei Chichi, ☀Ego is firmer than oikyuto, and both are delicious! I like to buy unknown ingredients at Kadokami Gyorui, and although I grew up in the Kanto region, I kept repeating the ookyuto 😋.
Coconut creamy sweetness of fermented fruit
The overall acidity is almost non-existent, the entrance sweetness and high, the sweetness on the tongue for a long time can not be dispersed, single drink is not recommended
