Today I was in the mood for a dry sake after a long time, so I had a limited edition Hakkaiyama sake that my father-in-law gave me.
I opened a bottle of Uonuma de Sorou Junmai-shu that my father-in-law gave me.
I have had a bottle of Echigo de Sorou before, but my father-in-law brought me a bottle that is sold only in the region on a trip to the Uonuma area as a souvenir!
It was cold when it was kept in ice cold storage, but when the bottle was opened and the temperature was raised, the sweetness and umami of the rice was gradually brought out and the taste was pleasant!
It was a perfect bottle for a mealtime drink!

Purchased at Uonuma-no-sato, Uonuma City, Niigata. It was an easy-drinking, refreshing sake. It is sold only in Uonuma City, so I would like to drink it again when I visit there.
Simple flavor of rice, Junmai-shu that reassures the palate. Aromatic body, but clean and elegant.

It goes without saying. Uonuma de Doryo. It is no exaggeration to say that you can always find this sake in the Chuetsu area. It's really delicious. I like that they sell small bottles with cups.
Limited to the Uonuma region of Niigata Prefecture. The sweetness of rice spreads in the mouth. The spiciness and sourness lingers in the aftertaste. Good cost performance!

At a dinner party with people who don't drink sake at all, I gulped it down by myself.
This sake is sold only in certain areas of Niigata, and it seems that only certain areas in Niigata distribute it. I was surprised to find such a sake available in my neighborhood. It is a delicious sake with the sweetness and flavor of rice. Too bad I can't share the taste with the person I'm drinking it with.
