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 🍶.

みやぞー
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.

At Niigata-kan. It is with Hokusetsu Daiginjo YK35 that attracts many Sake fans. It has a mellow aroma and a delicate, deep flavor. It is a handmade daiginjo made from 35% Yamada-Nishiki rice, which is highly prized for sake brewing, and fermented at low temperature for a long period of time.

It has a lingering aftertaste, a moderate sweetness, and a mellow aroma. It is not too heavy, and is so easy to drink that it will be gone before you know it!

Centrifugation" is the overall thrust of Hokusetsu. I paired it with macaroni au gratin. Since learning to pair cheese with sake, I have tried many things, but this was the first time I paired it with hot burnt cheese, and it was delicious. This centrifugal sake seems to be limited and hard to find. It has a robust flavor and does not overpower the cheese.
