My friend bought this local sake from Niigata. It was served in a Yukio sake cup, which I had bought on a previous visit to Niigata and fell in love with the design.
The taste is rich and enveloping. It has a strong aroma of rice.
Still a rare gem, purchased from Kanazawa-ya in Uonuma. Alcohol 13 degrees. It smells like lactic acid and tastes like...a snowman! It tastes quite spicy, or rather, it tastes like a snowman, with a strong characteristic. It tastes bitter, or like a messy taste...you can tell if you drink Yukine on a regular basis. I imagined a cloudy sake that tasted fruity or rich, but it was completely different. It is not a trendy sake. I guess it is a sake for Aoki Sake Brewery fans. I like the taste, but I wouldn't recommend it to amateurs of Aoki Sake Brewery.
I have often seen Yukio and have had a cup of sake, but I don't drink it all the time.
It was the first time for me to try it in a cup. It was crisp and dry with a delicious rice flavor!
It's been a while since I've had a cup of sake, but I was satisfied with the design of the cup as well!
I ate too much for lunch, and I want to drink alone at night.
I want to drink slowly and refreshingly.
...and my stomach too...lol
After being rejected by my two favorite restaurants (one closed, the other with the boss), I arrived at the last frontier.
This is a place where people from the company don't come.
...I think it's time to find a new place to eat.
Yukio (snow man), sold only in the prefecture, Aizan
I wanted something to go with the beef stewed in white miso with sake lees! I asked my daughter to get me one that goes well with the beef stock sake lees white miso stew.
It's a bit too smooth for a junmai (pure rice) sake.
It's not too heavy, not too light, but not too heavy.
Not too heavy, not too light, just the right amount of alcohol.
Even though it is 13 degrees...it changes its character when it is warmed up.
As recommended, it goes well with beef tendon.
The daikon radish in the cold oden is also good...hmmm, maybe one more piece of shirataki would be good for the body? LOL!
My wallet is getting thinner and thinner...only payday is full and the rest is before payday....
What should I do, one more drink.......or maybe I should go to my usual wine store and have a drink with my usual girl.......I am an old man.......attention, attention, attention......lol
The aroma is only slightly sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, you feel the umami of rice, but the aftertaste is clean. I think it leaves an alcoholic taste on the tongue.
Basically, it is the type of wine that can be drunk easily with any dish, but I don't think it is my favorite.
