My partner got a bottle at Yamashin, a local sake bar in Echigo-Yuzawa, and liked it so much that he bought the actual bottle!
Orikagarami~ Snow is dancing in the bottle~⛄
The aroma is refreshing.
When the bottle is opened, it is a bit sizzling.
The freshness that can only be achieved by nama sake is irresistible.
The sweetness is moderate and the taste is crisp and juicy.
It enhances the taste of food!
We enjoyed it with a hot pot filled with snow mushrooms, which we also purchased in Niigata.
As for the taste, my partner is right, so I'll just say it's a little under 2,000 yen for a 4-pack! In terms of cost performance, it scores over 90 points, or 87 points if you don't care about the price.

Last night we had dinner at the famous local restaurant Itsuki Yu🍣.
First time at night. My wife and I only come here for lunch. Gahaha 😂
The sake "Tatomo" special junmai from Ojiya, the owner's hometown. It is slightly light and dry with a delicious rice flavor and goes well with sashimi and sushi.
The only sake available is this special junmai and a honjozo for heating sake.
It was delicious 😁.
Beer -> 3 bottles of TAYU per person
(somewhat moderately)
Purchased at FURUMAIYA in Kawasaki Station Atre.
It's a select store of mainly sake from 5 prefectures in Hokuriku and Shinetsu (North Shinetsu). I went there for the first time today.
I would like to check this store regularly, and next time I would like to use the standing bar.
Tatomo is a sake from a brewery in Ojiya (Jiba), my hometown, and I immediately bought it because I recently thought the quality of the sake was of a level not to be missed.
The sake rice is Ojiya-grown Koshidanrei.
It is dry and crisp, with a refreshing effervescence, and a hint of sweetness on the first day of drinking.
The overall impression of cohesiveness is that it is a good level sake that can compete on the national level, and I look forward to its potential to expand its flavor from tomorrow onward.
I added tofu and eggs to the packet of stewed morotsu, which was given to me by a colleague at work, and adjusted the flavor by simmering it.
I made broccoli and fried eringi mushrooms according to Ryuji's recipe,
Fried potatoes as requested by my daughter 🥔.
Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio🍶.
Once a year, a student dormitory in Ojiya, located in Suginami, holds an exhibition of Ojiya's products, and my father once bought a bottle of Takanoi and drank it.
It was fruity and quite delicious 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 😊.
I lived in the Ojiya student dormitory in Suginami Ward for 4 years when I was a student👍.
I also know of the product exhibition held in the garden of the property.
What a coincidence 😌.
I had received a nice, affordable nodoguro and matched it with this dish. The taste of the nodoguro was very good, and combined with the refreshing acidity, it quickly became empty.
The one I wanted to try when the brewery was here.
The aroma is like strawberries and bananas.
The taste is refreshingly acidic and unexpectedly light on the palate.
However, it has a sweetness with a hint of rice flavor.
It certainly looks like it would go well with a glass of wine when chilled.
