Some fresh sake from the trip in Sado island. A very small and raw sake brewery. Would say it is quite a standard one - lemonish yellow in color, melon and banana on nose. Palate it leans more towards cream and fresh cheese, with slight hint of soy sauce and umami. Overall the alcohol feel is a bit too prominent though, can blend together better.
The second in a series of Niigata souvenirs!
Comparing GON and Itaru.
Is it because of the difference in manufacturing process? Is the rice also different?
I vote for GON!

Is it because it is different from the usual Tohoku sake because it is Yamahai?
It was a sake that sometimes sake from other regions can be good.
