Drinking Iron Day 2 starts in Niigata
Niigata is a bit far from Kansai.
In the past, you could get there without changing trains by Shirotori or Raito, and when I was a child, I longed to take them when I saw trains bound for Aomori or Niigata at Osaka Station... but now, any route requires quite a few transfers!
But now I have to change trains quite a bit, no matter which route I take.
First of all, the green cup is very particular!
It's a sake with bitterness and umami 🍶.
But it's still refreshing and is a Niigata sake!
It has been a long time since I have tasted Hokusetsu. It is an orthodox Junmai, but the quality is high. The aroma is subdued, and the smooth mouthfeel is easy to drink without any irritation. It is an excellent bottle that can be served at a wide range of temperatures.
This again at the Otsurumi Restaurant.
Second bottle of memorandum 🍶 that I drank after the concert.
Hokusetsu Super Dry Sado Onikoroshi
It is a very dry sake with a sake strength of over +15.
Not the type to savor, but for when you want a kick.
I think it's one of my favorites.
It's the type of sake that you pour over grilled liver and fried lotus root to refresh you, and when you realize it's too refreshing, you'll be gobbling it up! I'm not sure if it's the same thing or not.
And well, I was pretty drunk 🙄🙄 lol
Hot sake
It has a nice sharpness, yet it is mellow and umami. Dry
It doesn't linger in the mouth or nose, so it's good for a mid-meal drink.
