Last year, I bought a LOW HIGH WHO from here because it was so good 😘.
The aroma is mild, sweet and lactic acidic.
The mouthfeel is mainly sweet and refreshing, the acidity and richness of Yamahai appear softly in the middle, and the finish and aftertaste are again very beautiful.
It is the most recommended brand this year among the newcomers. It is even more refined than last year. Perfect for my chanteuse 🤗.
As the label on the back says, drink it while listening to Litogri 👍.
Echigo Den'emon is brewed by the brewery's toji, Kouaoi Kato, alone.
The label, the construction, the sake itself, everything is very interesting 🤔.
One of my sake recommendations that makes me think that one day I will be able to drink a sake that makes my genes smile 🍶.
By the way, vesicapaisis is the overlap of two identical circles when they are formed through their respective centers.
In sacred geometry, it is the shape that means "the beginning of everything" 🤔.
The appearance is a warm misty white with a hint of ochre.
Fine gas bubbles dance in the haze.
The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of gentleness.
Aromas of pear and melon.
It is round and refreshing.
Rice aroma like freshly pounded rice cake.
The sweetness is modest and present, with a sense of roundness and softness.
The acidity that spreads with a soft gasiness has a refreshing and clean koji taste.
The middle part of the flow contains a slight bitterness, and the disappearing sharpness is soft, and the lingering astringency is also intoxicating with complexity.
I usually like sweet and umami, so although the direction is different, the taste of this wine is very delicious with a sense of solid structure 🥰.
A cup that invites me, a lover of sweet and tasty, to a new door of taste: ☺️
I definitely want to try other VESICA PISCIS in the future!
Thank you for the food 🍶.
Good morning, Aladdin ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm very interested in this one after reading your review 🥰.
［I'm also curious about the similarity between "Vesica Paicis" and "Taiji" in "I Ching" ✨.
Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
So that's what vesicapaisis means. I'm learning 📚.
I don't see the new Denemon so often that I forget it exists after a while 😅I hope there are more of them out there 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Aladdin.
I remember running to the antenna store to buy Den-emon once when they went out of business😅.
I'd like to try Den-emon in its new form, but as Hiro said, the distribution volume still seems to be low 🤔.
Good morning, Gyve 😃.
Personally, it's one of the drinks I'd like you all to try once 🍶😄.
It is true that Taiji, which governs yin and yang, also has something to do with the primordial light 🤔.
I would like to drink this sake while indulging in various thoughts 🍶 ☺️
Good morning, Hiro 😃.
I too learned the concept of sacred geometry thanks to this sake 😄.
I'm not sure if it can be helped by the production system, but the stores that carry it are too limited, so I haven't seen any 😥.
It's especially tough for me as I'm basically a mail order NG 😥.
Good morning, bouken😃!
I see that you have had Den-emon before!
Currently, there are no stores in Kansai that carry it, so I managed to get it this time during my business trip to Tokyo: ☺️
Toyosaka -Toyosaka-.
This is the first Toyosaka Echigo Den'emon we have had in a year, and it is made with Ginbukiyo (a cross between Yamadanishiki and Tamakoe). Here are the specs for the soft-water Yamahai Yamahai Tank Shiboribori Nama-nazake.
It has a grape-like heady aroma and a fresh, rich, apple-like sweetness with a slight dustiness.
The astringency of the aftertaste is still present, although it is a bit more subdued than Den-emon's, and it has a perfect balance of freshness and enjoyment during meals!
Preference ★★★★☆
Got it during a trip to Niigata.
Because of the small number of production, there are only a few special dealers and limited stores where you can buy it even in Niigata Prefecture.
If you hear such a story, you have no choice but to buy it!
It has a rich and thick flavor with a sweetness like honey.
It was just right for those who like sweet sake and Omachi.
It is so delicious that it is a waste of money, so I will enjoy it carefully and carefully.
Although the alcohol content was high, it was so delicious that it was easy to drink.
I was attracted to it because it is made by one person and because of the jacket.
Light and fresh ginjo aroma like green melon.
The nose is quiet at first, and it quickly spreads on the palate like a white wine.
The astringency from the acidity is completed by the alcohol.
It is a perfect food wine. It is a perfect food sake, but the flavor is so interesting that you can't help but drink it on its own.
The sweetness is also noticeable and interesting as you drink more.
Personally, I have the impression that it is like a more refined version of the second half of Abeno, which is also from Niigata.

Lingering: Lactic acidity sticks around and leaves a pleasant bitter aftertaste
Impression: Fruity, light, medium-dry
The aroma is mild, but there is a mix of fruity and umami aromas.
The taste is also consistent with the aroma, with a mix of fruity and umami aromas with beautiful acidity, and a fuller taste than Yamahai. The balance between the two is very good, making it a beautiful sake that can be easily enjoyed on its own.
Repeat Score 2.5
Launch at Jiyugaoka (5)
The fifth drink was Echigo Den'emon Gozu!
Unique label, first time to drink!
I found on the internet that the number "5" has various meanings.
It seems to be made by polishing 50% of "Gohyakumangoku",
Life goes on.(Life GOZ on.) It is an ironic subculture that expresses positivity, akin to resignation toward one's own life, which is full of peaks and valleys, but one still has to live on (according to the producer's data),
Is it a little muddy?
A little soft.
A touch of sweetness
Fresh acidity
☀️
We are staying the night before to participate in the Niigata Sake Festival.
After resting at the hotel from lunchtime drinking, we went out for dinner 😚.
But all the places are crowded 😅.
It seems there are a lot of people staying over and drinking the night before 🤣.
After wandering around for about an hour, I finally got in.
It's "Seasonal Kappou Maruju" 🤗.
The menu is posted in front of the restaurant, so even if it's your first time to visit, you don't have to worry. The interior is decorated in the style of an old private house and has a nice atmosphere.
First, I ordered Tsururei, but I forgot to take a picture of it, so I omitted it.
Next, I ordered Den-emon's Aizan 😍.
The taste is refreshing. I don't think it has the sweet and savory taste that is characteristic of Aizan 🤔.
However, it is well-rounded without it.
It seems to go well with seafood as it has a refreshing taste and throat.
It was so good that I was told which liquor store sold it, so I bought some on my way home 🤗.
It is still sitting in my fridge 🤭.
Good morning Jay & Nobby😄!
Sake drinkers are everywhere 😁The sake camp venue is also full of young people and future sake drinkers are perfect 👌.
We were really lucky to have your restaurant ✌️ I hope to go back when I'm in Niigata 😆.
Pleasant acidity typical of Yamahai
The astringent bitterness that can be said to be the symbol of Den-emon can be felt without being unpleasant.
Sense of Japanese pear

My sake of the day 💁.
I finally got to drink a sake from a brewery that has been on my personal list of favorites for a long time!
Echigo Den'emon started full-scale brewing in R4BY after taking over the business.
Mr. Aoi Kato is the sole brewer, living in the brewery and brewing for all four seasons.
The brewing process is standardized: ultra-small brewing, 50% rice polishing ratio, ginjo-style brewing, 901 yeast, sake tank pressing, bottle heating, and a unique asymptotic asymptote-type regular fast brewing yeast.
I'm interested in this kind of thing: ☺️
Vesica Paisys GOZ this time 🍶.
The appearance is a fine and beautiful pale silver-white.
The aroma is youthful and fresh.
Unripe pear, princess apple, green melon skin, whey yogurt, and white dumplings.
Smooth and silky texture.
The rice flavor with a hint of whey spreads and flows smoothly, and the acidity like Japanese citrus comes with bitterness.
From there, the umami, including a refreshing bitterness, flows with a silky tailing and finishes with a crisp finish.
The finish is sharp and medium with a lingering astringent aftertaste accompanied by a soft bitterness.
Delicious.
It is completely different from the direction of my preference for dark mellow sweet umami, but it is delicious.
Someday, I too would like to encounter the kind of sake that makes the genes smile, which is what Mr. Kato is aiming for.
Good evening, Aladdin!
I see you were able to drink Den-emon 😄.
It has a very original taste and I thought it was amazing 😳 when I heard that it is brewed by one person.
Aladdin-san raves about it too, so it's definitely a sake 🤩.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
I was able to drink Den-emon 😊.
It was a nice sake that broadened my taste for sake, which tends to be sweet and tasty 🍶.
By the way, it's a small detail, but it looks like they recently switched from the asymptotic fast brewing method to the soft water Yamahai method 🙇.
