Today is the day of the Ox!
Then let's drink!
The sake is Chiyo no Hikari, with what looks like a K? on the label!
I wanted to try this one because it was rumored to be fruity!
The entrée is eel liver. The sweet sauce is added to the sweetness of the sake, and when you gulp it down, it seems to be washed down with a refreshing taste. Such deliciousness!
Although it does not have a specific name, the first impression is of a full rice flavor and sweetness. The soft sweetness is followed by a light aftertaste that quickly fades away, which is typical of Niigata.
Cooked rice, lime, cypress, mushrooms
Slightly white peach and melon
It is moderately fruity and good.
After that, it becomes dry and sharp.
It goes well with sweet and spicy soy sauce.
It also goes well with cheese.
It is delicious.
It has been a long time since I have had a sake from Niigata! Comparing the first and third days after opening the bottle, the piquancy has decreased, but the sweetness and riceiness have increased to achieve a good balance. Compared to Tenbi, a famous sake in this series, it has a more mature aftertaste than Tenbi. It is a Niigata sake, but the rice and koji are both produced in Okayama. (I prefer local production for local consumption.)
It is a clear sake with a pleasant, subtle peachy aroma and a pleasant sense of fermentation-derived gas.
A little steamed rock oysters as a side dish.
Purchased when Nemuchi and I stopped by Niigata after the Tenma Taisakekai.
It is rare to find Omachi in Niigata.
According to the store's pop-up, it has a Sake Degree of -11.
The top aroma is a little pineapple. The sweet acidity and gassiness are impressive. Unique fruity flavor like plum. As it says on the back, there is a bit of astringency at the end. It made me want to drink more Chiyonomitsu.
I think it is a unique Omachi sake and Niigata sake 🤔.
On the third day, the freshly opened peculiarity is lessened, but the acidity seems to be more assertive.
The more time goes by, the more Omachi it becomes.
Good evening, Nemuchi 😃.
It was tasty but more assertive in its peculiarities than its omachi-like flavor 🤣I think this might be available at a liquor store in Nozaki 🤔.
