Koshino Katora Super Dry Taste from Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.
It is a junmai sake with a rice polishing ratio of 65%.
It has a sake strength of +12, which is very dry for a Niigata Prefecture sake, but it is very refreshing at the moment of drinking. It is a good representation of Niigata's unique light and dry taste.

A little sweet.
Not bad, but I would prefer something a little more refreshing.
The aroma is subdued yet slightly sweet, and the mouthfeel is light and watery with a hint of rice sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing and does not linger.
The sake is truly light and dry, with no hint of alcohol, and the sake strength of +12 is not at all noticeable.
Alcohol 15-16%.

Low acidity

This time we went to the ruins of Tanagura Castle in Fukushima Prefecture!
The beautiful countryside of Fukushima on the way...! It's the best!
And then the Koshino Katora Hiyoroshi! No, it's not Fukushima sake!
Keitora is fruity! Sweet like caramel! Umami richness!
By the way, the first lord of the Tanagura domain was the famous Muneshige Tachibana! Successive lords of the Tanagura domain also served in important positions in the Edo Shogunate, and the ruins of Tanagura Castle are said to be a power spot for revival and success in life! And this year marks the 400th anniversary of the castle's construction, so you have no choice but to visit!
Good evening, mikomichio 🌆I often go to Tanagura on my motorcycle 🏍️ it sounds so beneficial 😆 I was thinking of going back soon so I might stop by 😆 ‼️
Manachy, thank you for your comment: 🙇♀️
Is it a motorcycle! Actually, I'm a biker too!
I'm ashamed to admit that I only recently learned about Tanagura too💦It's a hidden gem!
Sweet and round taste.
If you drink it the moment you put it in your mouth, it tastes like nectar. But if you leave a little bit of it in your mouth, it starts to taste like alcohol or something, so it might be a taste that depends on how you drink it.
Rare sake given to me by my friend's mom who works part-time in the countryside. It's really good. The nigori sake's slight effervescence makes it even better. 🙋🏻♂️ I like the crisp feeling 👍
