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 🙇.
Bought at a liquor store
I was interested in this sake when I read about it in a magazine last year (dancyu, I think?). I was curious about this sake because I saw it in a magazine last year (dancyu?).
Originally, my friend and I were going to make sake together, but my friend passed away, so now he makes sake by himself.
I heard that there are only a few stores that carry it...
Cold sake
Juicy aroma like white peach
Clear and transparent taste.
The taste is rather light.
Gentle on the palate
Good evening, Tsuyodai-san! It is delicious with a flavor that is not the light and dry characteristic of Niigata 😆 The liquor store in Kokura station that carries maniacal sake also started to carry it about 6 months ago!
☀️
I bought the label✨
The color is light cloudy 🤍.
Smell has a hint of sweet and sour 😊.
On the palate, it consists of tight acidity and light sweetness😙.
I guess it feels similar to a #7 yeast sake 🤔.
It doesn't stimulate the taste buds too much, it feels like a light sweet cider, but with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
I didn't find "her" as the description says 😅.
I guess it's a different world for the high class people 🤣.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
I am so envious of Echigo Den'emon 🤩 because there is no special distributor in Kansai and I can't buy it 🤤.
I heard that this year's goal for Echigo Den'emon, brewed by Mr. Kato alone, is to make an erotic sake, so I'd like to try it at least once this year 😄.
Good morning, Aladdin!
That's great that you brew by yourself 😳 I didn't know about that and bought it. I'm learning a lot 🙏.
I can't imagine it being an erotic drink 💖 but I sure would like to try it 😆.

Thanks for everything 😆.
First Den-emon GOZ!
At lower temperatures it's refreshing 😆.
When the temperature goes up, the taste is fuller and you don't get tired of drinking it ✨👍👍.
I never get tired of drinking it ✨👍
I'm sure I'll be back for more 🥰.
Oh!
I was going to make beef stew.
I bought the ingredients but forgot to buy the roux 😅😅.
but I forgot to buy the roux😅.
I had no choice
I ate a cup of noodles 🤣.
I'll make beef stew later.
Good evening, Tsuyodai!
I was going to make Hayashi rice tonight, but when I looked at the box, there was only a piece of roux 🤣I changed it to another menu 😅.
I like the illustration on the label🎶.
