At Kakuhachi on Sado Island.
This is a self-service all-you-can-drink restaurant where you can drink any bottle of kintsuru from a single bottle. It was so good that I drank too much. It goes great with fish.

A little heavy. But as you drink it, it becomes lighter. The famous royal fern (huge) is served with 😋 radish and sesame oil to give it a sour taste. The owner is a friendly and fun person, so much so that I want to travel to Niigata to meet him 😆 The employees are also very nice.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby😊This year's first project, JR East Kyunpass, is 10,000 yen for one day of unlimited rides including Shinkansen 🎉I hope it will be available again next year 😅.
Today, after my cancer screening, I walked 5 km to Hayafuku Sake Food Store via Pier Bandai (no point).
I saw a bottle of Kintsuru sake there. Blue Kintsuru.
Brilliantly fruity, with a full-bodied rice aroma.
Mellow and smooth,
The slightly sweet taste is balanced with astringency and acidity,
The freshness on the tongue is balanced by the rich umami of the sake.
The rich umami of the unpasteurized sake
The rich umami of nama-zake flows down the throat lightly.
It has a pleasant sensation on the throat,
Slightly refreshing dryness and sharpness,
It is delicious, smooth, and silky.
At Pier Bandai, we had miso ramen from Shokudo Miso, which finally opened a branch in Niigata City last month. The soul food of Joetsu Myoko, and to be able to eat it in Niigata City...isn't it great?

The less carbonation of the nama-shu is probably due to the time of opening the bottle😅.
It's a dry sake with a touch of bitterness and acidity.
