The liquor store I usually go to commented to me, "They used to make mostly classic light and dry sake, but recently they have started making modern sake. I bought it immediately 😁.
I bought it immediately 😁. It is indeed a modern type 👍The gorgeous aroma is moderate, but the acidity, umami, and sweetness are assertive.
It is delicious. Echigo-Tsurukame Shuzo, huh? I'll have to pay attention to it.

Echigo Tsurukame: Koshiichi Episode1.3
Yamane Nishiki" is a variety of sake rice from Nagano Prefecture that was registered as a variety in 2017.
I thought Koshi-ichi was a series about using sake rice grown by the toji (master brewer). Apparently, the toji, Nobuyuki Yokota, chooses the rice based on the sake rice he wants to use and the taste he imagines.
The taste is citrusy and fruity, from the soft sweetness of tangerine to the crisp bitterness and refreshing acidity of grapefruit.
It matches the image on the label.
Mellow, light, juicy.
Delicious!
Koshiichi's label design, in this color, looks like an object in Asakusa!

Another brand of Echigo Tsurukame
It seems to be a series of Touji's specialties.
Left: Epsode 1.2, unadulterated, unprocessed
Right: Junmai Ginjo, unfiltered, 15% raw sake
Both rice is 60% polished Gohyakumangoku rice.
The junmai ginjo on the right has a cemedine-type aroma and a refreshing sweetness.
Dine" is a common term among our sake friends. Koshizai was evaluated as an evolution of Dine.
The left one is a softer, so-called "modern" sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.
Melon-like aroma and sweetness
The acidity, which is unique to the sake yeast yeast, is moderate, but it becomes fuller as the temperature rises.
Different types of sake, but both are attractive.
It is interesting to note that the number of mellow, sweet-tasting sakes from Niigata has been increasing recently.

Yum!
As the label says, natural!
No quirks, totally pure!
It seems to be rare that they use Gohyakumangoku grown by Toji.
I've been away from sake for a long time, but this is why I can't stop.
