This sake is from Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture.
Even I, with my inexperienced palate, could tell how delicious this sake was.
It was a wonderfully delicious sake with a clear, elegant aroma and no cloying taste.
My sense is that it is slightly sweet, yet refreshing and does not leave a residue on the palate. The price is expensive, but I think it is worth it.
I would like to give this sake as a gift to someone who has taken care of me!
Slightly light and dry. As a food sake, it has a good aroma that is not too assertive.
Matsunoi Tokubetsu Junmai Tokamachi Takananishiki
Matsunoi Sake Brewery(Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture)
It's been more than 10 years since I chose Matsunoi for my second drink at Hikaru-kun's restaurant.
I drank it at a nearby soba noodle shop while changing trains at Tokamachi station on a trip many years ago.
I had never heard of this brand, but I was impressed by its deliciousness. It brings back memories of being impressed by the taste of this unknown brand.
The aroma and taste are mild, and it goes down smoothly.
It has a "do as you please" kind of taste that does not make any strange assertions.
The retro choice of "Takananishiki" is also austere.
This year, we're having grilled saury and memories of old trips as snacks.
