I've been kind of busy with all kinds of things💦.
I see you all are busy too ❗Take care of yourselves and let's drink some good sake 🎵
It's been a while since I've had Hokusho❗The flavor spreads gradually and has a crispness that is typical of Niigata sake 😋.
The sweets that Ane-san gave us are delicious ✨.
Thank you, Ane-san 🙏🙏.
Hi Ane 😃
Thank you very much for the delicious sweets 🙏.
I felt Kyoto in all its glory 🎵.
I'm looking forward to opening a bottle of Ane-san sake too 😁.
Ahh. I may have made a mistake.
I see. That's how it tastes.
It's very spicy, but not my favorite kind of spicy. ....
Ah. I made a mistake. I didn't like Niigata's sake.
It's delicious, so don't get me wrong.
I just don't like it.
Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (2)
This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake.
2) Fruitful Hokusho
Sake from Murakami City in Shimoetsu.
It is often seen at Yamaya with a special distributor label of Taiyozakari,
Hokusho is a junmai ginjo brewed entirely in Niigata with Niigata yeast, rice, water, and techniques, and aged at a low temperature for more than half a year.
It is served cold.
The color of the sake is a gentle yellow-green.
The top aroma is mild and smooth on the palate.
The flavor structure is similar to Tsukifumi no Ike, with a clean, refreshing sake with a blue banana aroma and moderate rice flavor. The moderate acidity is also effective and crisp.
It is a lighter ginjo-style sake than the junmai sake Tsukifumi no Ike, with a good amount of rice flavor, yet it is easy to drink and delicious. Expect it to warm up as well. ♨️🍶
Oops, neither of these are my favorite 💕.
A good start 🚩.
I'll be updating this autumn with more Niigata sake, interspersed with a little bit of another sake 😊.
Hi Hirupeko 😃.
Reading your post makes me feel the urge to get all dyed up on Niigata sake 🤗I'm also curious what you paired with the light and dry sake 😋and I'd love to go for the heated sake 🍶😚.
Hi Hirupeco!
Hi, I'm Hihirupeko-san! [I see you went to Kitahama Fermentation Plant 😁.
I had a "Hokusho" myself ✨.
I went to the store with a Yukio T-shirt and the waiter was so happy to see me with a Yukio maegake wrapped around his head 🤣.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. In the Kansai area, we don't have many opportunities to encounter Niigata sake, so it was a good opportunity for the Niigata Sake Festival to come to Osaka😊I wanted to have salted fish with kanzuri for my entrée, but I gave up because I don't like spicy food🥵.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve. I also stopped by Kitahama Hakkesho! It was delicious and surprisingly easy to drink 😋I told the Tsururei people at the Niigata Sake no Jin about the Yukio T-shirt and they were delighted 😊.
[The second sake at "prking Kitahama Hakkosho" (prking Kitahama Fermentation Plant).
Hokusho Junmai Ginjo Hokusho in Fruits.
The aroma is a little difficult to smell due to the wind, but it gives a cool and refreshing feeling.
I've been curious about "Hokusho" ever since I saw a review of "Hokusho Mild Nigori Hon Nama Nama Sake" by the King of Menshu about a year ago, and I finally got to drink it 😁.
It has a delicious fresh flavor typical of Niigata sake 😋.
🌾Gohyakumangoku etc. from Niigata Prefecture 🅰️15 degrees 🍶+5.0
Purchased at Niigata Mokome. Although it is a regular sake, it features rice polished to 55%. It is thought to be light, but the more you drink it, the richer and more habitual it becomes.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15
Degree of sweetness/spiciness: Somewhat dry
Degree of lightness Somewhat light
There is a little bit of ooze at the bottom of the bottle. When poured as gently as possible, it has a freshness like a slightly sweet and sour green apple, and after swallowing, it is quite strong. Next, I knocked the bottle down a few times to mix in the oriki, and the gasiness and sweetness became a little stronger.
I found myself drinking a lot of it, but since the sake was shipped refrigerated for half a year without being heated, I wanted to see how it progressed after opening the bottle a little 😅.
A nearby liquor store that will soon regrettably be closing.
We welcome you to this one, which was discounted on sale.
Royal roadside light, dry rice wine - lingering umami flavor.
I think it would go well with shiokara (salted fish) and shioboshi (dried fish)!
I'm sure it would go great with the salted dried squid that this store carries.
I bet it would go great with the salted and pickled hoya fish they sell at this store!
I want to have it again!
Well, this type of sake goes well with all kinds of snacks
It's fun to encounter various types of sake!
It has a refreshing impression.
It is not sweet, but refreshing, crisp, and spicy, with a long aftertaste and a hint of umami afterward.
It is not a stand-alone wine, but it might be better with a meal.
