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 the very end of my trip to Niigata, I encountered it at the Ponshukan in Echigo-Yuzawa Station. It was an encounter that reminded me that the taste of sake described by the word [pineapple] is right in the middle of my tastes. It is really sweet, the sharpness is light, and I like the taste. I tried more than 30 kinds of sake on this trip, but this one is really my favorite! I was so glad I did. I had 7 bottles of sake to take home that day, and the weight of my baggage made me abandon the purchase, but I will definitely take some home if I encounter it somewhere else! I'll definitely take it home if I run into it somewhere! I loved the taste!

I went to KITTE OSAKA, which I had wanted to visit. On the second floor, "Aruemon Nippon Meguri" and local products from each region are gathered on the floor, and there is a sake corner, a corner where you can compare drinks, and a dreamy place with vending machines for tastings. KITTEOSAKA① First, Niigata! I was allowed to compare 3 kinds of sake. 1) Hokusetsu Daiginjo Koshi-tanrei (2) Maryo Daiginjo (3) Manotsuru Junmai Ginjo My favorite was (1) Hokusetsu. It is soft, round, and gently sweet. It was easy to drink and the first sip made me say, "Yum! (2) also had a gentle sweetness. But it was more robust than ①. (3) is also a sweet type. But it was more powerful than ① and ②. Overall, it is not so much the difference but the sweetness and roundness, is that similar? I don't know if it was the taste of the rice, the water, or the regional character, but I was in a good mood. After this, we started off the day with a lot of drinking until the evening! (That's right, I'm drunk. 〰︎)
