Omotesando Niigata-kan Nespas: 20180928 Purchase for home use
It's a sake brewed by Daishikiku Jozo in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. I found this sake at a convenience store and bought it on impulse. I met it at a sake event in Niigata prefecture and this is the second time I've bought it.
I'm always curious about special honjozo and special junmai sake because I feel like I'm about to find something interesting😃.
The aroma is subdued, with a hint of alcohol and old sake. The taste is light and clean, but not thin. The taste is light but not thin. This is the kind of sake you want to encounter at an izakaya.
It's a sake that really comes into its own when paired with a meal.

Chibitagawa Special Junmai
This is also one of the bottles in the Niigata Sake Tour August set.
It is made by Daishikiku Shuzo in Kakizaki, Joetsu City.
It's a name that I have trouble converting.
Gindagawa comes from the middle of the sacred mountain Yoneyama. It is said that the dialect word "Chibita" which means cold, and the cold changed to Gin. (There are various theories.)
Aroma like a grain spreads.
It has a full-bodied umami, or
It has a unique aroma, which is different from bitterness.
It has a peculiar taste.
I wonder if this peculiarity came out in the blend of Japanese Osake...
It seems to be better to heat it up, but I drank it cold.
300ml is not enough for me to try many ways to drink it.

★★☆☆☆
I received this [Yukido] of [Ginda River] as a Niigata souvenir.
It's unfiltered sake, but it has a gentle mouthfeel that you wouldn't think is unfiltered.
It has a slightly tart feel on the tongue and down the throat.
I think it's a taste that can be enjoyed by all.
I think I will drink it slowly and patiently.
It is very sweet. I've been drinking a lot of other things, so I don't have much of an impression. I'm sorry. The name "Chibitagawa" is cute.
