Before I drank so much sake, I was impressed by the taste of sake at Ponshukan in Niigata. I always looked for this brand every time I went to a sake shop, but I could never find it in the Tokai area.
Every time I went to a liquor store, I always looked for this brand, but I couldn't find it in the Tokai area... but I found it at a liquor store I stopped by on a whim!
The old impression was still there, and I realized that it is still a delicious sake...!
It may be limited to this year only, or it may come out again next year.
Brand name.
The sweetness of the malt really brings out the flavor.
I hope it will be available next year, too.
4.3/5.0 H25BY aged sake, about 10°C.
No aroma when opened.
After taking a sip, the mild acidity is quickly followed by the umami. The umami is calm and without any harshness.
Today, we had it with yudofu. It was delicious.

I bought this sake at a liquor store at the end of last year after it had been aged for three years.
The main dish at a New Year's party at an acquaintance's house was crab, so I paired it with a dry sake from Joetsu. The brewery is located in the mountains, and at the Kenshin Sake Festival, I believe, they had a booth next to Yukinakubai.
It is nigori sake, but it is quite hot and dry, not juicy, so it went well with the crab.
We also had a bottle of Shimehari Tsuru as a backup, but we didn't get to it. The New Year party ended with this sake. w

I drank too much. It's tangy even though it's the bottom of the bottle.
Green apple-like fresh to dry rice-umami that lives up to its dry description.
The bitterness comes through.
It has a heavy alcohol taste, so it is not something you would drink in a big gulp.
However, it seems to be well balanced with its sharpness and nigori (nigari) mouthfeel.

Rich umami spreads in the mouth with a long lingering taste.
The freshly pressed sake is bottled immediately.
The aroma is fruity and gorgeous, and the mild and robust flavor is full in the mouth.
100% "Koshitanrei" produced in Niigata Prefecture is used.
This is the 11th lot brewed in 2021.
It has a strong honey-like sweetness.
But the aftertaste is clean, crisp, and easy to drink.

Goes great with sushi!
It is supposed to be sweet, but it doesn't interfere at all.
