First time drinking Garakudai's Spring Sake
It's like a light and refreshing Niigata sake.
Personally, I prefer the low-alcohol Garakudai Hiyori.
It goes perfectly with steamed meat buns.

This is one of my favorite drinks I've ever had.
Purchased by mail order and served with spicy lotus root as a snack.
First of all, it has a strong fruit-like aroma, which is typical of daiginjos. It smells like ripe bananas or pears.
The taste also has a fruity sweetness, but it is not sweet at all, and while it has a robust flavor, it is very easy to drink, with none of the tanginess that I dislike when it goes down the throat.
The production is limited to 2,000 bottles per year.

It has more acidity than I expected, but the mouthfeel is quite mild. It has a strange and delicious feeling that it disappears without a hitch even though it is a bit of a dry sake.
I have the impression that it is better suited for drinking after a meal than after the second glass.
Sakegawa recently recommended Abe, which we do not have on hand. Tenryohai Sake Brewery in Sado was also severely damaged by the earthquake. Drink and support!
Masayo is famous, but here is Ponshukan original from Nagaoka Station! Low in alcohol, but with a mild sweetness and umami of rice. The first sip was delicious, and I paired it with a seafood hot pot, which was a perfect match. It was a perfect match! The sake rice is Koshitanrei, Niigata Prefecture's most trusted rice variety.
Good morning, WOM 😃.
Tenryohaii Sake Brewery seems to have cracked their fridge stock quite a bit, but I'm glad they were able to continue 😌Masayo's father would like to support you by drinking it too!
Pon. Thank you very much. I think there was quite a bit of damage from collapsed tanks and broken bottles because of the seismic intensity of 5 and liquefaction in Sado, Joetsu, Kashiwazaki, Niigata City, and other areas. Drinking and drinking as usual will lead to steady support.
Jay & Nobby. Thank you. This is a perfect description of Masayo's father. A little classic, a little stubborn, but gentle. That's how I feel. Was it the Showa era?
Good morning, WOM 😃.
You are so chivalrous to support 📣 even to the disaster areas in other places👍.
But even without that, Hoku-Shinetsu is a treasure house of beautiful sake!
It would be a win-win situation if the affected areas are also enriched as a result of drinking and having fun👍.
Haruei Chichi. Thank you very much. I bought it last year, and I am not proud of my chivalry. It's just an excuse for drinking. But I heard that the difference in information dissemination makes a difference in support. As you say, it's a win-win!
Junmai Ginjo 🍶.
Invited by a former colleague to a private party at an izakaya 😆 25 kinds of sake 🎉16th glass
Nigori (nigori): A little bit mellow. Dry. Goes well with crab. Happy to have met the crab 🦀😆.

Thanks for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😊Seiko crab 🦀 is delicious, isn't it? I prefer this one to the male crab. It's hard to make it into a Kabako shape 😅
I bought this at Okuhiroya when I picked up the Tachiharu Asashibori at Gohashi.
I was going to buy Masayo, but I decided to buy Tenryo sake Shiboritate, which I had been curious about for a long time 😁.
When I opened the bottle, it made a nice popping sound. It has a thick, sweet and spicy taste with a gaseous sensation. The sweetness is moderate and the umami is strong. It is a little dry and mineral. It has a mysterious atmosphere that is both modern and classic.
It also has a citrusy atmosphere, and the acidity is quite strong.
I think the sweetness is more robust after the wine has been out of gas for about 5 days after opening.
Good evening, bouken-san😄
As Hirupeko-san drank before, this was my first saké sake. ☺️ I see you can buy it at Okuhiroya 🤔I was impressed at the time that it was "almost water! I was impressed, but now I want to drink it again: ☺️
Hello Aladdin 😃
Your memorable first shot was here 😊.
Water! I think it's because it has a minerally atmosphere 🤔I remember Manotsuru from Sado had that taste too 😁.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
Masayo's father 🤣.
He looked scary at first glance but he was kind and nostalgic 🤣.
I think he is your favorite type of sweet but not too sweet 😊.
It is served cold with sashimi. When the bottle is opened, the first thing you notice is the chocolate-like aroma.
At first, I thought it would be sweet, which I don't like, but I didn't feel much sweetness on the tip of my tongue. As I drank more, the taste became more refreshing.
The liquor store I bought it from a few years ago didn't carry it, but I got a tip that 2023 Ouroboros was being sold, so I got it by mail order! 🍶
When I drank it before, I remember it was like a rich chocolate, like a brandy, and I was shocked by it (˶ ~̫ -̫ ~˵˵).
Tenryo sake cup!
Tenryohai Sake Brewery on Sado Island was hit by the Noto Peninsula earthquake!
We want to support this brewery because they brew good sake!
While it has a crisp, light and clean sharpness, it also has the juiciness and petit gasiness of a raw sake ✨.
There's also a slight sourness that makes it perfect during a meal 😋.
It goes well with oden and nabe 🍢🍲.
We have a factory in Ishikawa,
We supported the company-sponsored fundraising event!
We are praying for a quick recovery!
