It's mainly mineral like potassium, but also has a melon-like luster.
When the bottle is opened, there is a slight effervescence and the sake is quite modern.

It is very delicious!
I've never heard of this brand before, but I'm convinced it's Echigo-Tsurukame.
Miso Nishiki and even more so, the middle of the range, how could it not be delicious 😍❤️❤️❤️
This has become one of my favorite bottles 🍶🤍.

Another strange label. I looked it up and found out that they like Star Wars lol I would like to drink X-Wing or Falcom just for the name.
This 4.4 had a schwashy, slightly tasty, slightly acidic, easy drinking mouthfeel. My favorite! I thought so, but about halfway through, the umami started to assert itself and slowed down my progress.

The last sake I got on my trip to Niigata,
Episode 4.2, a Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Yamae-Nishiki from the Koshi-Ichi series, a limited-edition product of Echigo Tsurukame.
As stated on the label, it is light and slightly effervescent, with a juicy acidity reminiscent of grapefruit.
It would be a good match with light pasta and salads with shellfish and vegetables.
Please enjoy it with a glass of wine.

Echigo Tsurukame - Echigo-Tsumari Episode4.3
Rating 4.3
Rice: Miso Nishiki, Polishing ratio: 60%, Alcohol: 14%, Sake degree: ±0, Acidity: 1.6, Amino acidity: 0.8
This is a Koshizuki brand produced by Nobuyuki Yokota, the master brewer, in pursuit of the sake rice he wants to use and the taste he envisions.
This Junmai Ginjo-shu is made with Miso Nishiki rice. It has a rich sweetness with a light and refreshing sharpness that can only be achieved with low-protein rice. The elegant touch is followed by a sweet and sour fruity taste. It has a clear, fermentation-derived gasiness that can only be achieved with Nakadori.

The first sip of this sake made me honestly feel that it was carefully crafted.
The toji himself uses the Gohyakumangoku grapes he grows himself, and the careful processes he goes through one by one, such as small brewing, medium fermentation, unfiltered filtration, and bottle-hosing, are evident in the flavor.
The aroma is soft, like ripe pears, with a hint of white flowers.
In the mouth, a natural and mild sweetness spreads slowly, and the moderate juicy acidity nicely regulates the flavor.
It is not flashy, but has no cloying taste, and has a clear, transparent flavor that seems to soak in.
Both the aroma and taste are somehow gentle, yet have a solid core.
It is a bottle that conveys the feeling that "from the rice to the sake, we have done everything we wanted to do.
It has a natural charm that will accompany your daily meals.
The impressive label is actually a design of the sake's "flavor image. The design team that created "Kumamon" was responsible for the design. The design team created "Kumamon" and other sake brands. Both seem to be naturally linked to each other.

Bringing in karaoke with friends, part 2
First time at Koshiichi
Low alcohol content but not too sweet
The sharpness and fizziness make it refreshing and sizzling without being dull 😋.
By the way, when I opened the bottle, I was surprised to see the cork fly out with great force 😵.
(*I personally feel that it is at the level of the land of production)
If you have a chance to open the bottle, please be careful. ⚠️

Medium sweet. Slightly carbonated. Rice and grapes. Well-balanced bitterness, sweetness and acidity. It is not so complex as to be unfiltered and goes in smoothly. Delicious. ⭐️4.5

A modern Koshi-ichi, a sake brewed with a variety of sake rice and the brewer's passion for sake.
Brewed with Akita Sake-komachi, this bespoke sake is light and enjoyable, with a fresh, clear sweetness and a gentle veil of sake lees.
First day of opening 🍶.
Foggy appearance with gas bubbles mixed with fine tailings.
Aroma is ripe pear, apple, lychee.
Pithy cideriness.
Freshly pounded rice cake rice aroma.
Slight fluffiness then swoosh in.
A clear pear water-like sweetness with a gentle gassy stimulation flowing through.
The refreshing, beautiful umami, including soft bitterness with a hint of tailings, spreads out and disappears quickly and lightly.
The finish is short and slightly astringent on the tongue.
A light and enjoyable sweet and refreshing kasumi-shu.
Delicious. ☺️
Opened 3 days 🍶.
The overall aroma is subdued, with a slight citrus sensation.
The gaseous sensation is softened and the wine has a lightness that flows more smoothly.
In the midst of this flow, there is a cool dryness with a slightly herbal feel and a flavor that includes a soft bitterness.
The clear dryness of the sharpness also increases, making it more refreshing to drink.
I would like to drink it again in the future.
By the way, the 4th picture is totally unrelated, my favorite Zoni Udon noodles with red bean paste 😁.

Hello Aladdin!
I can't read "koishichi" at first sight.
I've never had a zoni with Daifukumochi in it, so I'd like to try it as a sweet-tooth!

Good evening, Mr. Jaive 😃.
Kagawa is the place to go when it comes to white miso paste rice cake zoni: ☺️
This is the standard for January and February on the monthly menu of Udonbou, a popular restaurant in the Osaka Station building!
It's popular every year and I love it even though I have no connection or affiliation with Kagawa😊.

Good evening, Aladdin 🌙
I like Kagawa's ozoni. ☺️ I don't have any connection to Kagawa either, but I remember when I first heard about this ozoni, I was too curious and immediately went to eat it at a local restaurant 🤤 I want to try it again ♫

Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
I saw that you posted a picture of ramen terror, so I decided to copy it 😁.
The combination is like 100% sugar, but with the dashi and saltiness, it's not as cloying as it looks, and to put it mildly, it's great 😊.

Sourness 🫰 🍈 melon 🍈 and pear 🍐. The beef sansho stew that I took out from Shun Sai-Lab (corner shop) is delicious 😋. Tochio-age, a Nagaoka souvenir, is soft and delicious. Good match 👍.

This year's (drink), this year's (check in ✅) 🍶 that ⑨.
It's the end of the year and I've accumulated a lot of alcohol that I haven't been able to check in 📷Check-in cleanup 🧹.
Only 3 hours left in the year😇
Kaku-uchi at Asano Sake Shop Umeda.
I asked for Echigo Tsurukame's new brand, Echigo-Itsuru, which I've been curious about for a long time.
The pure white label with the subtitle "s-trooper" reminded me of a stormtrooper from Star Wars.
The brewer is probably a Star Wars fan, as there are other Koshuya brands such as "M-Falcon" and "death⭐︎star" 😁.
We had a mouthful of the last bottle in the store 🍶.
It has a strong schwashy feel!
The appearance is a clear, strong mist white.
The aroma is fresh and gorgeous pear and melon.
Slight pickle feeling lurks in the back of it.
The mouth is stimulated by a pleasant gaseous sensation.
The spreading sweetness is moderate, but the fresh acidity gives it a modern taste.
The slight pickle sensation lurks in the middle and after, but it is not bothersome, and the wine is refreshingly modern and pleasant to drink.
Modern!
But it is not overdone, and the natural feeling is just right and delicious!
I will try to follow Koshitai a little more!

Good evening, Wakata!
Echigo-Tsurukame has a different brand name, Echigo-Tsurukai!
It has the same plain white label as Ebi White, but you can't see it, but it has the Echigo Izo mark that looks like a cloud of muscular clouds: ☁️
At least Asano Sake Shop carries it 🍶.
