I've been looking for this sake ever since I had it a few years ago at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) that mainly serves Niigata sake called "Houshu" 🤔.
This rich, sweet and delicious taste has too much impact 😮😮.
I still remember how impressed I was when I met it 🤤🤤🤤.
I followed the list of stores that carry it on this trip to Niigata and tried to find them one by one!
Finally found it, and it's a 2018 old sake 😆.
I'm not a big fan of old sake, but I decided to give it a try 😅.
The color of the sake looks slightly yellowish
The ginjo aroma is gorgeous but accompanied by a slightly aged impression
It's especially noticeable when the temperature rises
The taste is an interesting mix of fruity fruitiness and a hint of caramel notes 😉.
I remember it being sweeter when I drank it before 🥰.
It was great with a hint of acidity 🥰🥰.
Does it become less sweet as it ages?
On the contrary, the bitterness increased quite a bit, but...
Not bad.
The flavor is still full and mellow
After drinking it aged for almost 6 years, I think it is probably best to drink it aged for 1 or 2 years.
Great sake for those who like old sake.
The ginjo aroma is gorgeous with a sense of maturity, a very novel experience that I have never experienced before👍.
I will continue to look for fresh Echigo Ichikai 😎.

Good evening. I see that you have bought some Sasa-dango (bamboo grass dumplings).
I didn't know about Echigo Ichigo-kai. People in Echigo call strawberries "Echigo". That's why they call it "Echigo Ichigo-kai", which means "once-in-a-lifetime meeting". The pronunciation is the same. (Echigo people are the same.)

Good evening, Goonyi Goh-san 🌞.
I bought a few bags of frozen sasa dumplings.
For myself and for my friends 😁.
This sake seems to be quite rare
I can't find much info on google.
I like the name and the taste 💯.
