A souvenir from last month's Echigo Nagaoka Sake no Jin, Yoshinogawa's Toji no Yoru Honjozo. A bottle I purchased after tasting it and finding it delicious.
Already, already, the attack is nothing. Nothing...nothing. There is no aroma. It is nothing. If anything, it's the world of wild man Okano's one-man through-pass. You are left behind. It is a time slip. It's a Hollywood kind of time travel. It's a forced make-believe story. It's also a bit like Okano's world. I swallowed it, and after a while, I thought, 'Oh, I'm drinking Niigata's light, dry sake. I realized that I was drinking a light, dry Niigata sake. When I tasted it, I didn't have this impression.
This was obviously chilled too much. I know that it is better to drink it after the aroma and taste have opened up, but I feel like immersing myself in the world of through-passing.
Yoshinogawa hiyaoroshi.
Yoshinogawa is a brewery and brand that I personally consider to be the benchmark for light, dry sake in Niigata Prefecture.
It has the palatability that is typical of Yoshinogawa, and the umami that is typical of hiyaoroshi.
Tonight's main dish was a miso butter corn hot pot with Chinese cabbage and chicken.
I was sober for a lot of reasons! LOL!
It's been a while since I had a small one!
I got this one.
It goes well with salted fish!
Be careful not to drink too much. ⚠️
In moderation, don't beat yourself up! LOL!
Since tonight's menu was sashimi
I wanted to drink a refreshing dry sake for the first time in a while!
The sake with this label is sold only in Niigata!
This is a cup of sake from the Niigata souvenir series: ❗️
Yoshinogawa🏞️
This one was also found at a convenience store in the station 🍶.
I don't usually buy dry sake, so it's refreshing and easy to drink 🤩.
By the way, I went to Niigata today for my kids lol.
On the way back, we played a game called "Inokuchi Gacha" and I won one of Kiminoi's ❗️
I really wanted ayuu masamune (sweet sake).
I'll give it a try next time I go back 😂.
I went to the Nagaoka Sake Festival...my first time attending!
My mother, sister and I enjoyed ourselves😊As soon as we arrived at Nagaoka station, we went to a sushi restaurant and ordered sushi and a bottle of sake of our choice for each of us.
We arrived at Aole Nagaoka and before entering, we compared the doburoku in pic 4. There were sweet and dry, but doburoku is sweeter and tastier 😋.
Now, here comes the real fun........the 25 tickets are exchanged for sake. You can drink most of the sake with only one to three tickets. You can also exchange your ticket for snacks.
Seating is fixed and comfortable with chairs. 12 people to a table. The moment we sat down, everyone was friends🤣An uncle who was also selling things, so he opened them and served them to us🤣A young man who made homemade smoked fish and brought it to the table. This table members are very strong 🤣We didn't have to wait in line so long to get our drinks, and we had a good time.
The most delicious was Yoshinogawa's "Shuzo no Awasuki" premium PAIR 😋 for those who love shuwa shuwa 🫧2 hours flew by.
At the end, the person next to me gave me a handmade key chain! I was so happy that the lady sitting across from me was a bit taken aback😅.
Good evening, Yucachin 🌇I've had Yoshinogawa a few times recently when I've been out drinking, and it's good. ❗️ I didn't know there was a Nagaoka version of the Sake no Jin... 😧...
Manachie-san, good evening 🌇Yoshinogawa is delicious, isn't it? I think the Nagaoka Sake-no-Yabin is very conscientious about ticket prices, etc. Next year, by all means 😁.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆We are all friends when we drink sake 🤝I met someone at a sake brewery in Niigata and I met him here at the sake camp 🧡This is the sake circle ✨.
