As we head into the busy year-end season, it is important to refresh ourselves in the intervals between events, so tonight we had another glass of wine. I opened a bottle of "Kitayuki Junmai Ginjo" from Sado Island, Niigata, which I was told about at an izakaya I often visit! It has a sweet aroma from the moment it is poured, and when you take it into your mouth, the sweet and umami flavors quickly run out, leaving you with a gentle, smooth, and clear image of the after-flavor! Whether it is the water or the brewing method, I am addicted to this clear aftertaste! With only one month left in this year, I'm getting drunk and thinking that it's time to narrow down the bottle of 2022 that I will choose 🍶.

If I sleep for a day today, it will be Friday... so I opened the bottle in good spirits. The aroma is fruity with no hint of alcohol. It has a softness that is typical of nama-shu. When you take a sip.... Hmm, it's sweet. It has a solid taste that doesn't betray your expectations. It's a taste I like. However, there is an alcohol feeling on the throat. It's not too much to worry about. I'd like to try the other Hokusetsu.

Kitayuki after a long time. I had the impression that it was refreshing, but this has a juicy flavor that is typical of nama-gara sake and is delicious.

The second bottle was "Hokusetsu" which was also purchased at the event. It was about 1,300 yen, so while talking to the brewer, I asked him if the price was too cheap for this taste ❓ I even said to the brewer, "Isn't this price too cheap for this taste? It has a gentle taste and a pleasant sweetness that spreads slightly in the mouth and goes down your throat so smoothly that you feel as if you are drinking water, so you can drink as much as you want. I found myself emptying it all😅.

The third drink at Sakanaka Zarashi Rice polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15 Rice / Koji rice (Niigata) / Koji rice (Niigata) Date of production: 2025.02 First brewed today. It does not have a strong unpleasant taste. But the sweetness that is typical of Aruzoe is bothersome. I wonder if it would be easier to drink with a stronger I wonder if it would be easier to drink.

A gift of Niigata sake 🍶 Ryuseki Jun Daigin! Aroma: Fruity, mouthfeel: Rich Koshitanrei flavor, sweet and bitter with a sharp kick! Nice bitterness in the aftertaste. .... It's been a while since I've had Niigata sake, but it goes well with seafood. .... Delicious!
