Near Nagaoka Station
While I was looking for a bar for the day
I went into a sushi restaurant on a whim and had a drink.
Keitora regular sake 🍶.
It's a delicious sake that I never get tired of. 🙇♂️
Sake-like aroma. A little sourness.
The smell of alcohol that rushes through when you take a sip.
A little bit of rice bran with a graininess.
It has a strong umami and spiciness. Good crispness.
It is an excellent pairing of a reluctant male sake with mackerel heshiko and chicken meatballs.

Summer sake is still on tap. The bright blue label and bottle of Koshino Kagetora made me reach for it.
It has a refreshing coolness and a full-blown dryness that comes with a thump. It seems to be a contradiction in terms, but the umami of the rice balances it out perfectly. I also like the unique greenish flavor.
