The first Shiboritate of the season, the best part of sake that can only be tasted in the brewery. Taste the genuine junmai sake.
It has a subtle ginjo aroma, and despite the aroma, it is dry and heavy like a honjozo (pure sake).
It is a mellow dry version of Yuki Kohmei that does not interfere with food.
It goes well with saikyoyaki, sukiyaki, eel, etc.

The third glass was a brand I had never heard of before, Echigo Yukikoumbai.
This was the first shibori-shibori of the same brand.
It tasted like the light and dry Niigata sake that I imagined most, but with a strong sense of originality in the rice flavor. 🙆♂️
I have never been to Niigata, but I would love to go sightseeing in the city full of beautiful sake and food someday 😌.
