Honjozo. For evening drinking with brewing alcohol.
The first sip is exceptional. Three or so tastes of umami and sweetness come in at the same time.
It is an amazing moment as if you were kicked around, punched in the stomach, and slapped in the stomach at the same time. →Delicious.
A mugful will make me happy again tonight.
If you like sweet sake and the aroma of rice, you should definitely try Yukichubai.
The taste is sweet, Japanese sweets type fruity. It goes down your throat softly. Refreshing aftertaste.
In the Showa period, this brand was difficult to obtain in Niigata Prefecture.
It is not as common now as it used to be,
The production volume is not so large.
It is only occasionally seen.
It is somewhat alcoholic.
It may be light and dry in the best sense of the word,
It is not as light and dry as Koshino-Kanbai.
It tastes better warmed than chilled.
Good morning.
Here is what we had last night.
It has a refreshing aroma and a clean fruity taste. As the name "essayer" means "to try" in French, the theme of this wine is "new challenge and transformation of Yukichubai". The label with a chameleon and a branch of snow plum is also cute.
Yukichubai Essayer Nama Shuzake
Maruyama Sake Brewery (Miwa-ward, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture)
To Takada Park for nighttime cherry blossom viewing! Hotei Hotei is located on the way to Hanami. As usual, I wandered in and found a bottle of "Yukichuubai" (plum in snow), which is not like "Yukichuubai"! What's more, they said it was a draft sake!
The label was a light pastel color with a chameleon-like design on a plum branch. A chameleon-like design on a plum branch.
Essayer means "to try" in French. The theme of the label is a new challenge and transformation of Yukichubai, and the brewing director will be changed in 2022.
It has a slightly melon-like fruity aroma, with a hint of koji, gorgeous, and refreshing,
It has a newness that is not typical of Yukinakubai.
Mild on the palate,
Mellow sweetness that flows heavily on the tongue like a gentle sweet and sour taste,
It has a mild, thick flavor as if it were freshly squeezed, but it also has a sharp bitterness in the back of the mouth.
It has a crisp bitter aftertaste and a soft, refreshing taste.
Mmmm, delicious! New! A modern Junmai Daiginjo Yukinakubai!
The cherry blossoms this past weekend were fantastic. The giant weeping cherry trees and sakura road were amazing~!

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's been a long time since I've had Yukinuchubai.
It was served lukewarm as usual, but the sweet flavor spread out and the sweetness was not unpleasant, but rather sharp and refreshing.
It was served with sashimi.
You can find this sake here and there in Tokyo 😉.
A classic Niigata sweet sake👍.
The aroma is surprisingly understated 😲.
Soft and clean taste 🎵
Finishes with a sour aftertaste✨.
