The first in a series of Niigata souvenirs!
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.
Bought at Niigata Sake-no-jin. It is a valuable ordinary sake. It has a gentle taste with the freshness of nama-shu. It is a good enough level as a food sake, delicious, and highly recommended.
Tempura and sake because I went wakasagi fishing. I bought this sake at the brewery when I went on a trip. I visited there because the sake was so good, but this one seems to have a longer history. It is clear and refreshing. As explained by the waiter, it is a little sweeter and richer than Itsuki. When I drank it with tempura, the bitterness from the wakasagi motsu was pleasant. Mmmm, delicious. I want to go to Sado Island now that Sado Air has started flights!
This sake is made by Itzumi Shuzo, the smallest sake brewery on Sado Island.
It is a delicious sake, light and dry, but with a strong umami flavor.
