Every year in October, we make sweet potato stew.
Usually we go with all Yamagata Prefecture ingredients, including a visit to the Yamagata Prefecture antenna shop in Ginza, but this year we had taro from Saitama, leeks from Yamagata, konnyaku from Tokyo, beef from Niigata's Shinobata Beef, and I forgot the burdock.
The standard nigori sake from the Kikusui brewery in Shibata, Niigata.
The label design has changed.
As expected of the Kikusui brewery's quality, this nigorizake is solid and drinkable.
The alcohol content is 21 👍.
Good evening, Director T.KISO😊.
That's right ❗️
Imoni and sake, heated also 🍶.
I can't get enough of it.
I finished before I could combine it with heated sake, so I'm going to make it Shonai style next week👍.
Already, I thought...,
Winter has come again this year, and it has become the seasonal word for winter, "Gorohachi"!
The design has been renewed, and the lid has been changed from white to black, giving it a sophisticated and calm color.
It is already suitable for nabe.
It's not so much "nigori" as it is "nigori,
It is a smooth and beautiful white color,
It has a fluffy, gentle sweetness and deep richness,
It has a rich sweetness, deep richness, rich umami, and crisp acidity,
The wine is easy to drink, but has a strong alcohol taste and a good mouthfeel,
The overall balance is exquisite, with a taste that lingers,
It's good again this year!
You can also enjoy it in cocktails with milk or soda.
Reasonably priced and delicious. It's the best.

★★★★☆
I still want to drink Gorohachi nigori sake at least once this time of year 😉.
Is it already late autumn? It's a late autumn day, but I'd like to enjoy it.
I've been enjoying grilled santa mackerel, Kansai's famous meat sucking, and my new favorite garlic-marinated cabbage 😋. After a long day, this is what I'm looking forward to👍.
It had been sitting in the fridge for less than 4 years after I bought it, so it had an old wine-like color.
Very sour!
It's like plum wine.
It has a fizzy taste.
It has a full-bodied sweetness.
And the taste is bitter and dry.
Date of manufacture: December 7, 2018

Since brewer's alcohol and sugar/acidifier are added, it is not exactly sake, but rather a liqueur.
It has 21% alcohol by volume, so it has a sweetness in the midst of a tangy taste.
It does not become watery and soft with ice.
It is inexpensive, so it is very cost-effective.
Purchased at Niigata Supermarket
I wanted to drink it after a long time, so I bought it.
Living in Niigata, seeing this sake is one of the things that makes me feel like it's the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year 🎤.
I have often seen this sake in supermarkets since I was not a drinker, but when I started collecting sake, I was impressed by its low price.
A little over 2,000 yen for a bottle is still cheap!
I immediately opened the bottle 🍶 and it tastes great😊.
It has a thick, smooth taste, a doburoku-like sweetness, and a strong alcohol content of 21%!
But this is rather good and tasty 😋.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
Kikusui's sake is my personal origin 🎯.
I will be a regular customer from now on!
