This is a brand new to me. The aroma is reminiscent of dry sake. It is mellow and has a very strong rice sweetness. But it is not heavy and does not have a hiyaoroshi (cold sake) feel.
It was refreshing and delicious!
Generally speaking, it's light and dry? I also felt a little sweetness and a good balance! I thought it was well-balanced 😊.
It went well with sushi! I was happy to pair it with the Nodoguro!

I was trying to choose a sake that would go well with hamachi sashimi,
I went to a sake retailer to choose a sake that would go well with hamachi sashimi,
The image I had of Niigata was a light, dry sake at a reasonable price.
Well..,
It is a sake that goes well with sashimi.
It has a clear flavor and spiciness, and the weak alcohol taste makes it delicious to drink and eat.
The price of sake seems to be going up due to the high price of rice,
I think I will increase the number of sake bottles because a four-pack is not a good price for a four-pack.
I'm not going to drink beer today,
I'll take a break from beer today.
30+ years ago, my sister gave me a bottle of Echino Kagetora as a gift from Niigata and I fell in love with sake 😊.
First hiyaoroshi of the season 🍶.
The alcohol is strong and it goes down your throat.
It's a delicious sweet sake 😊.
Ponshukan Nagaoka Eki Store drinking groupie #6.
Echino Kagera, which ranked 5th last month.
This is a brand that can be found at many liquor stores in the Nagaoka area.
It is a cup that is enjoyable from the first sip to the lingering aftertaste.
I seriously wondered if I could handle it, as I sought my next drink.
The sake rice is Niigata Prefecture's Koshitanrei, which is a combination of Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku rice, and is said to be suitable for sake brewing.
It has a light, refreshing taste with a full-bodied sweetness and a bitter, moderately dry aftertaste.
We enjoyed it with homemade tempura soba noodles.
I received a bottle of Echino Katora's Ryu.
I had only ever bought one bottle of Ryu, but when I visited Nagano Prefecture the other day, I saw a four-pack for the first time, so I bought it.
I first encountered Koshino Kagera 20 years ago when I was living in Niigata on business.
At the time, I tried a variety of Niigata's local sake, but Koshinoketora was the one I found easiest to drink, as I was in my 20s and not used to drinking sake at all.
I remember that I loved it so much that I would choose an izakaya based on whether or not it had Echino Kagera.
There are many varieties of Echino Katora, but I think most izakaya served this Ryu, Sakuza Katora, or Super Dry Taste.
It is as light and refreshing as water and has no habits, and it is as light and dry as snow.
It enhances the delicate flavors of Japanese food without interfering with them. The cost performance of such a superb dining sake is so good that you can get change for only 1,000 yen.
To this day, when I think of Niigata sake, I think of Koshinoketora.
Hi Hori, nice to meet you.
I sympathized with your thoughtful contribution to Echino Katora.
Ryu is a good food sake that is not considered a regular sake.
The unique softness of the sake, perhaps derived from the brewery's brewing water, is also an attraction of Echino Kagetora.
Thank you for your comment, Hiraccio 😊.
It is true that this gentle drinkability may come from the brewing water.
Ryu is the lowest-priced position among Keitora, but it is properly tasty, so I appreciate it.
