Niigata sake continues 🩷Today is a typical Niigata sake ✨I got it as a skiing souvenir from my Bijin no Kai drinking family 🙌Thanks 🥰.
To go with the light and dry taste, I prepared pickled mackerel in salted rice bran yesterday 👍and a recipe to reproduce the fried chicken wings from Nagoya's famous "Sekai no Yamachan"✨a taste of my hometown that I really want to eat sometimes 🤣. I also made sweet potato with cream cheese, and mapo-eggplant. A feast of two luxurious drinks with various flavors 🎵.
First of all, the red and blue pottle makes me feel like a wizard 🤭 Pretty ❤️💙
The difference between the junmai ginjo and junmai daiginjo was obvious in the pickled sawara. The complexity of the junmai ginjo enhanced the original taste of the straw, while the daiginjo brought out the clear flavor of the sake by the straw ✨.
Both have just the right amount of spiciness, just the right amount of sharpness, and are easy to drink despite their high alcohol content, as expected from Kamizen Josui👍I can feel what they're trying to achieve: ‼️
I'd like to try the raw sake someday 🥰.
I'm shinsake3 and I'll be in charge of the impressions of the sake alone 💕.
Good evening, Mr. Peckho😄Comparing Jungin and Jun Dai drinking ‼️ is not easy to do 😳It's interesting to see such a difference in pairing 🤗I want to try Mr. Peckho's Nagoya specialty, fried chicken wings 😍Fried chicken wings with light dry sake is 👍 isn't it❣️
Good evening, Mr. Pekho 😀
It's interesting to compare the red and blue drinks by Jozen Josui, but it's amazing to discover how the pairing changes the impression of taste and atmosphere😇.
I would vote for the pairing 🟦😇
HinaHanaMama-san❤️Yes, it's a luxury drink comparison! And it's a souvenir 🤭The wings with the sweet garlic soy sauce and the pepper is the key 💪Please try it sometime 🥰The Earl Grey dacquoise for dessert goes so well with the wings 🙌
Yasbay❤️ really is profound how pairings can change the impression of even the taste of food. ‼️ I was busy eating a variety of foods in two glasses 🤭, I also voted for 💙 which gives variety and depth to the flavors 👍
Good morning, Pekho 😃.
We are the only ones who choose delicious sashimi 😋 for dry sake 🍶😅I see that fried fish would also go well with it 🤔🤗this seems to broaden the choice of entrées!
Jay & Nobby 🩷Good evening‼️ drink and eat a lot of things and I also vote for sashimi for dry sake‼️ because fried fish has a wide range of pairings (safe or not?). I'm sure you'll be able to find the perfect pairing for you.
Overall 7 (out of 10)
From a friend
I received a set of Junmai Daiginjo: red bottle and Junmai Ginjo: blue bottle 😊.
Since I got the set, I decided to compare them 😃.
The only difference between the two is the rice polishing ratio 🌾.
Both are delicious👍
Just like water 💧.
Just like the concept 👍
Both are over 16 degrees but can go down smoothly 👍
Compared to the daiginjo red bottle, the ginjo blue bottle has more of a tangy taste (very easy to understand 🙂 ).
I would like to try the Nama-shu version next time as I think it would taste even better with a little more depth 😃.
I had it chilled!

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I've been enjoying a lot of dry sake lately ❣️ and this comparison is interesting ‼️ I'm not a fan of light dry sake, but I imagine it would be good with Peckho's fried chicken wings ☝️ 😆.
Good evening, shinsaku 3!
I've known the name of this sake for a long time, but I've never had it yet because I have a strong image of dryness 😅.
I'd love to try it when I grow up a little more and get a little closer to an adult's palate 😇.
Good evening, shinsaku3 😃.
When I didn't know better 🙄 I think the sake I could drink was Kamizen Josui 😌 at that time I thought it wasn't water 😣 😅I might be different if I drink it now! Maybe I'll try it🤗
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I think dry sake is more of a pairing than a stand-alone sake, which broadens the range of enjoyment 🧐.
Pekho-san's "Sekai no Yamachan" style chicken wings went well with it👍.
Good evening, Yasube!
It is a slightly dry strain, but the brand we received this time was not very strong and spicy, and the image was thin and smooth!
I have known the name for a long time, so I am glad I was able to drink it this time 😃.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
It sure looks like watery but not water 😃.
I've heard that there are several different brands.
I would especially like to try the raw sake version 🍶.
Hi shinsaku3, 🐦.
This is the sake that changed the world of sake 35 years ago when most of them were cemedine type 🤣I drank it a few years ago and was surprised that it was too clear😆It is amazing that it is still selling well 😊👍
The top aroma is fruity and reserved, the mouthfeel is like smooth fresh water, the rice flavor is crisp, and the wine is light and easy to drink without any peculiarities 😁.
It was a 1 gou bottle, so it was gone in no time 😋.
At Niigata-kan. As the name "mizu-no-gotooshi" suggests, it harmonizes with everything and easily falls down the back of the throat. It certainly feels like water. The goal was to create a simple and pure sake.
Drink cold
Sweet ginjo aroma
Full-bodied on the palate
Gentle sharpness with a clean taste.
Almost no dryness in the aftertaste
Easy to drink
The sake itself is not colored, but the bottle is colored.
