What should I buy when I buy sake as a gift from Niigata?
I would answer such a common question like this.
You can never go wrong with Sado sake.
That's how good the quality of sake brewed by Sado's sake breweries is, no matter where you drink it.
Kaze Yawaraka" is another version of Kanetsuru, which is one of my favorites among Sado's breweries.
This sake is best served cold (at room temperature).
From the aroma, the scent of rice is wafting softly, and at this point, I already like it! I was already in love with it at this point.
And when I drank it, I could feel the gentle and soft flavor of rice spreading!
It is a classic in terms of production, but it has such a softness in flavor that it cannot be described as such.
The mild acidity and the balance of the light flavor and sharpness of the Gohyakumangoku rice.
It is too good to be true.
I feel that this softness of flavor does not stand up to heating, so I overwhelmingly recommend drinking it cold.
This may be the first sake that tastes best cold.
This is Niigata sake!
Kanetsuru - Autumn and Winter Limited Edition Sake
More floral, fruity and elegant than regular Kanetsuru. The aftertaste is firm and dry.
Serve with Take-Toku's fish cakes.
It has a clear, slightly umami or flavorful taste. It is very good as a food sake. I like Kato Shuzo's Fuwa brand very much, and this one is also good!
It is a light and dry sake, typical of Niigata.
There is no umami, and to put it simply, it is a dry sake!
It is a dry sake.
It is a good sake for a mid-meal drink as you will never get tired of drinking it, and it seems to go well with all kinds of food.
I've never tried to make a marriage...
Souvenir sake from a trip to Sado🍶.
The aroma is elegant, with a delicious spreading flavor.
The smooth first impression gradually spreads with a hint of sweetness, and the acidity is superbly balanced and flows into the lingering finish. The aftertaste is slightly dry and lingers.
Enjoy the taste only now ✨.
The mouthfeel is soft but soon develops sweetness and a strong acidity. The pungency of the alcohol is moderate and does not linger.

If you check carefully, you will see that I have completed the Sado Island's sake breweries on this trip! I should have done it.

It is firm and dry with a full-bodied taste.
Although it is alky, there is no unpleasant taste and it has a good sharpness😄.
I enjoyed Niigata sake on this trip, but there are still many brands that I haven't tried yet, which is a shame 😢.
The photo is of the Shinano River from the Bandai Bridge we crossed on our walk and the Bandai Bridge 🌉 on our way back to the hotel after a nice drink.
Good evening, Pinocchio 😃.
Thank you for your comment 🙇.
This was my first visit to Niigata City and the cityscape and the countryside of the Echigo Plain in the suburbs was amazing, and best of all, the rice🌾sake🍶fish🐟️ is delicious👍!
Good evening, Pon 😃.
I have been enjoying Niigata Paradise 😙.
I wasn't aware of Sado, but looking back I had a drink 😄.
I couldn't go to Sado Island this time, I'd like to land there someday too 🏝️
