This is one of the 8 different types of Echigo Yuki Koumbai that I purchased at Costco.
It has almost no aroma and tastes super refreshing.
It drinks like water.
There is a hint of sweetness, but it disappears quickly and has a light aftertaste.
Since it has no habits, it may be easy to drink even for those who are new to sake.
Personal Satisfaction: ★★☆☆☆☆
This is one of the 8 different kinds of Echigo Yuki Koumbai that I purchased at Costco.
The aroma is fresh and not that strong.
The taste is refreshing and very easy to drink! It has a slight maple syrup-like sweetness and sharpness.
The sweetness is not too strong and it is easy to drink.
Personal Satisfaction: ★★☆☆☆☆
Grape-like aroma typical of new sake.
Fresh and refreshing mouthfeel.
Grape flavor with a pear-like, light sweetness and fruitiness.
Moderately rice-like flavor,
The bitter acidity makes it clear and crisp.
Slightly dry food sake.
4/5 for my favorite.
Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA㉒
Echigo Sesshokenbai] booth.
I remember that I bought and drank some Yukikenbai when I tasted it once before, and I liked the special junmai. This time, there were only other brands.
Nagaoka Castle Special Honjozo.
Easy to drink, rich and a little nutty.
Junmai Sake Isshin
A basic sake that has been fire-brewed twice.
It is full-bodied, with a nutty taste and rice flavor.
Hiyoroshi Junmai (hi-ire)
Aged at a low temperature for one year, this sake can be stored at room temperature. It has a sticky flavor and a slightly nutty taste.
All prices were unified at 1,430 yen. They don't sell much of anything outside of the prefecture, so the price is the same as local and Ponshukan stores.
I was left with the impression that everything was nutty, but I think I was probably drinking too much and my stupid tongue was getting even more stupid, and all I could get out was nuts.
