Oh no...
I should have let it sit for a day - I was caught off guard😱.
Spouting -> automatic stirring🫧.
The guy at the store said it wouldn't fizz much 😩.
GOZ nigori version 🤍, which is a Hasegawa store exclusive.
It's a pretty dark nigori. Fresh & fruity, with some greenish nuances.
After green apple, lime and lactic sweetness, what passes through the nose is a mint flavor ☘️
Fine effervescence spreads in the oral cavity, and after some time, a strong astringent taste 😌.
It is not very flashy and gives the impression of a Niigata sake 🌾.
I didn't find it to have a strong character, but I would like to try others 😊.
Will it be the Echigo's Rising Star? ⁉️
Rich, full-bodied sweetness and slight bitterness
Slightly bitter aftertaste
Sake has the juiciness of unpasteurized sake.
It is a good sake.
Alcohol content 15.5
I was curious to buy it because it was featured in dancyu!!!!
They said it was a new entry.
It is a cool sake with an "astringent" taste as the concept says.
The label is stylish.
It has a somewhat unique aroma, mellow and moderately spicy, with a touch of acidity. Above all, it is a milky and silky food sake with a touch of lactic acidity.
I am looking forward to the taste change on the second day.
Mishaguchi - Ishigami.
From Echigo Den'emon, a revived brewery that advocates nano-brewery and is brewed by a young master brewer alone, comes this 100 Yumachi Mishaguchi.
The banana-like ginjo aroma, the sweetness and robust flavor of Bizen Omachi, and the astringent expression of the aftertaste are all noteworthy. The bitterness is often regarded as a tangy taste in sake, but when considered with food, especially with meat, this bottle has great potential to open up new horizons.
Purchased at Niigata Sake Shop
I wanted to drink this sake, so I looked for it and bought it 💰.
I had heard that Echigo Den'emon had gone out of business due to the Corona disaster, but I heard that a new person had taken over the business and was making new sake 💰.
I had bought a bottle of Echigo Den'emon's sake at the Niigata Sake Festival before the Corona disaster, so I had a personal attachment to this sake...
I immediately opened the bottle 🍶 and it tastes great😊.
I thought it had a refreshing taste when I first opened the bottle, but after a while after opening it, a muscat-like acidity also came out and it was delicious 😋.
Personally, I think I prefer it if I let it sit for a while. 🤔
The label design is also very good with all brands having a modern or stylish label 😊.
Please keep up the good work 🙇.
Thanks for the treats 🙇 🙇.

Impression
It seems that Mr. Kato has been brewing this sake by himself since 2022.
It is said that the astringency is intentionally added, but it is not unpleasant and has a nice flavor.
Perhaps it is because it is a draft sake, but it has a freshness to it that makes it much tastier than one would expect.

I bought it because of the label and name.
Fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it has a strong flavor. It has a sour taste like lactic acid. The aftertaste is a bit bitter. I drank too much because of the addictive taste.
Tamakihar -Kanwari-.
Tamakihar is literally brewed by a single brewer who took over the business of Echigo Den'emon, which had been a dormant brewery. He puts all his energy into a mere 300 kg of rice. It has a clear, outstanding crispness and a characteristic astringency. (The astringency is comparable to that of rice and grapes (whether the comparison is appropriate or not) and is expressed only with Koshitanrei, a convincing sake quality design that is unique!
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Raw Sake, 100% Koshiibuki, 60% Rice Polishing, al17-18 ⭐️⭐️⭐️.
I've used this shop many times since my first visit on 4/27/2017.
Tonight I was invited to the store's fan appreciation party and will be able to enjoy some of the drinks in the store's fridge.
