It was Niigata Sake-no-jin 2025! It was too much fun!
Even in Niigata, where hotel rates are skyrocketing, my friend from Tokyo was very satisfied. It was great again this year...
The admission limit was 4,500 people (Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon sessions each), which was about 500 more than last year, but we were able to visit the breweries we wanted in comfort while still having a lot of fun!
There were some places I couldn't go to because of the lines, but I was happy ✨.
I bought a bottle of Itsuki Junmai Nama Nigori and took a break while visiting the various breweries. Too much happiness.
This is a fresh, gassy, mellow, sweet and delicious Junmai Nigori Namaishu,
It is full-bodied and robust, yet light and crisp,
It is full-bodied, yet light, crisp, and easy to drink.
It's delicious!

Good morning, gold cat devil, I am jealous of your sake camp... 😫I would love to go there at least once 🙌 but I'm too busy with work in March to travel 😭.
Hello, Manachie! It's hard to get tickets due to the limited number of people, but it's already great, so please come sometime~! The time limit is subtle, but I noticed that my capacity allows me to concentrate on getting around just fine! I'm sure you'll have a great time!

Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio 60%, ALC 17%.
Although it is junmai, it has a subtle fruity aroma 😍.
It has a mild mouthfeel and soft flavor in the mouth, and after a while the acidity and umami spread slowly and pleasantly 😋🥰.
Chigasaki Hoshido: 20250228 purchased & opened
Sake from Sado Island. This sake was given to me as a recommendation from Niigata. Thanks. I heard that it was picked up by the media and became famous. But it must have spread quite a bit among the public because it tastes solidly delicious.
This is a fire-brewed sake, and you can really taste the flavor of the rice. It tastes a little melon-like, but the rice flavor prevails.
It tastes better warmed than chilled. It seems to go well with takoyaki or okonomiyaki-like sauces.
First of all, the top clearness. A sign of muddiness.
Sweet aroma, smooth attack. Taste dry and umami. It goes in smoothly and has a light richness.
Easy to mix and match.
The umami level increases, but the light aftertaste remains the same.
It was an interesting comparison.
Itaru Junmai Seikatsu Nigori Sake
Easy to drink
It is easy to drink and has a sweetness that is more umami than sweetness.
It is a nigorizake that is easy to drink. You can drink as much as you want!
(Actually, it goes round and round...).
