Junmai Ginjo 55% polished rice al15 degrees
Purchased for home use at Shokurakuen in Omotesando
I've been drinking this sake before April 2017, when I started using the app to record the label image and the date I drank it, so for a while I've been uniformly using 2017/04/01 as the date I drank it.
We drank at Izakaya Ginza in Hokusho, Niigata.
It is a sake from the Niigata Murakami Daiyoshori sake brewery 殆.
It came out as a regular evening drink set.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it. ❗️
The second drink is Koshi no Kanbai White Label
Sorry, no label!
The first drink was a draft beer.
A full bottle of sake
with 3 dishes
It's 1980 yen.
Niigata is the best!
Hokusho Usu Nigori Honsei
With a clean and refreshing mouthfeel
Fresh and crisp from start to finish, yet
It is fresh and clean from start to finish, but has a delicious flavor and no peculiarities.
You can drink it everyday like water.

It is an all-Niigata pure rice ginjo sake made with local "Gohyakumangoku" rice, polished to 55% and brewed with Miomotegawa river water and yeast developed by the Niigata Brewery Research Institute.
I had it cold, but...
The aroma is subdued and light in flavor, with a nice balance of mild rice flavor and pure rice sourness.
It has a mild and crisp quality, but has a round taste, a crisp finish and a dry aftertaste, with a gentle taste typical of Junmai sake.
It is recommended as a mid-meal or evening drink because it has little peculiarity and does not get old, and it complements the food.
You can enjoy it cold, room temperature or lukewarm 🤗
