Niigata Sake no Jin 2025🍶.
As I was walking around the venue, a beautiful bottle caught my eye. I stopped and asked "How do you like it?" so I decided to drink it 😁.
It is said to be a spring sake. For a spring sake, it has a strong full-bodied flavor.
The rice flavor is very effective 🌾.
I thought it might be suitable for warming sake with its thick taste 🤔.
There was a cedar ball decorated at the entrance of the venue.
It has a nice atmosphere 🤗.
I heard it is read as "Chibitagawa". Can you read it 😆?
It is a sake that was purchased at the Niigata Sake-no-jin, so I will have it.
This sake also has a strong taste. But it has a sweetness that makes it easy to drink.
This may be the first time I've had a special honjozo sake.
Pon-chan Good evening! I can't read it. I tried to find the kanji for "chibi," but I couldn't come up with it. It's an old-fashioned glittering name, isn't it?

Powerful!
Sweetness, umami, acidity, and overall thickness.
But it has a nice sharpness!
So I served it with natto and green pepper omelette.

It has a relatively light flavor among the Gintagawa brands, but it has its own peculiar taste. Gindagawa has a unique peculiar flavor.
This one was moderate.

It is hard to read at first sight, Gindagawa (Chibitagawa).
Sake here has a unique aroma, but this sake also contains the flavor and aroma of Koshitanrei, making it more complex.

No matured aroma. The nose has a chocolate flavor, but it is very refreshing.

The aroma on the nose is unique, with a bitterness and umami flavor, but it has a slightly peculiar taste.
It is said that we are the only brewery in Niigata Prefecture that uses this yeast, which is peculiar and easy to get hooked on.
