It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

One that my brother in my hometown gives me every year. I serve it with nodoguro (northern bluefin tuna) and firefly squid sashimi. It is a good sake with a nice sweetness in a light flavor.

At Niigata-kan. It is said to have a soft mouthfeel and a rancid taste with acidity unique to junmai. Gohyakumangoku rice grown in Joetsu, including contract-grown rice, is used. This sake is made using the box koji method.

Izakaya Monorail Niigata Sake 3️⃣ My least favorite in this Niigata sake drinking comparison was Nohtaka 🤣. I think its robust flavor is a favorite for those who like light and dry sake, but it's still a little too early for us little kids😅. The one we liked the most in this comparison was Yukichubai 😇. It was light but had a delicious junmai-like rice flavor 😇. I was impressed by the variety of flavors in this Niigata sake 😀. I should not judge it by the image I had so far 🤣. It was a day that opened up a whole new world of Sake for me 😀.

Have a great day! ☺️ Today I bought this one 😎 exclusively for heating. My regular liquor store recommended Jusui for heating up, and when I went to buy another bottle, they were out of it 😎. The label is the sake ♥️♥️ It's also very sweet and delicious 🥰🥰🥰. But I think I liked Jusui better 🤔. Still need to research on heating 🤔♥️
