Another brand of Jozen Josui.
The packaging is SDGs-esque with bags made of rice bran. 🌏️
The SEVEN series are all Koshi-tanrei, apparently.
It seems that almost none of them are available outside of Niigata Prefecture yet. It's fire-brewed but fresh and gassy. It has a dry atmosphere, but has a moderate sweetness. A little peachy. A touch of bitterness towards the end.
Easy to drink, dry and light, with a sense of goodness.
Junmai Ginjo is about 2,700 yen, so it's a bit expensive 💦.
The packaging and the red sticker on the Japanese paper-like label is specially processed and looks like a lot of work 🤔.

The 8th SAKE Fes in Yurakucho.
This brewery is famous for KAMIZEN Nyosui. They say it is a new brand and the amount of stones they can produce is still small.
I recklessly asked them to sell it through the sales channel of Kamizen 🤣.
Here is the sake 🍶.
Gentle and thin sweetness.
Rich in ginjo aroma and supple on the throat.
Overall a graceful finish 😚.
This sake🍶 is a must check✅. ❗️
The wine has a clear water color and a strong fruity aroma.
The mouthfeel is as clear as the water color, and the fruity aroma escapes through the nose.
The rich grain and pear-like flavor that overflows with the aroma, and the heavy lingering taste and bitterness that lingers on the tongue.
This is a gorgeous bottle with a wonderful balance of appearance, taste, and thickness.
When drunk on its own, the acidity is stronger than the sweetness. When drunk on the rocks, the acidity is diluted and it becomes easier to drink.
It is a good sake to drink in the summer.
🍶Alcoholic strength: 10 to 11 degrees
Rice with malted rice
Rice polishing ratio 60
I bought it because of the cute packet.
I was surprised when I drank it.
What a delicious sake!
Why is it different from the sake I know?
The sake is yellow 🟡.
I bought it at the Toretore market in Wakayama but it was Niigata sake 🤭 ugh!
The first impression is of mellowness typical of junmai, with a full-bodied sweetness and richness. The acidity is low. Despite its robust flavor, the lingering aftertaste is crisp and clean, which is typical of Niigata.
Almond tofu, cooked rice, lychee, white peach
Lime, Hinoki cypress
Compared to Uonuma Junmai Tanrei Sharakuchi from the same brewery, the taste is in the same direction, but this one is more robust.
It has such a fruity aroma at 70% polished rice and kept at room temperature. It is by far better than "Kozen Josui"! That is my honest impression. It is sold only in the Uonuma area for 980 yen. I envy the people of Uonuma who can make this their everyday sake 😳.
