I had to take a break due to a period of sobriety before the test. Now that the numbers have stabilized, I am resuming 🤗.
The bottle I will be opening this time is one I purchased at Sasaya-san during my trip to Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture in September.
The rice used is 100% Niigata rice.
Rice polishing ratio is 58
Alcohol content is 18%.
The specification is that it is bottled as it is from the tank (kameguchi) outlet.
Sake degree: ±0 to +2
The production date is 24.11 lot, and it has been aged for about one year.
The aroma when the bottle is opened is gorgeous and fruity, with a banana-like ginjo aroma. Fruity aromas like green apple, pear, and white peach gently spread out. The aroma is full and sweet with hints of rice and a honey-like round aroma derived from aging.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a very clear, pale golden color and a slightly thick, medium viscosity.
When you take a sip, there is a soft sweetness and fruity aroma, and a round sweetness reminiscent of bananas spreads gradually. Later, the umami of the rice expands, and the acidity is mild. The alcoholiness of the raw sake seems to blend in and become more integrated. The aftertaste is mildly bitter and mildly sharp, leaving a richness of fruit sweetness and rice umami. The aftertaste lingers as a delicious full-bodied taste.
This sake is sold exclusively in Uonuma by Niigata Meisho. It has a deep and robust flavor at 18% alcohol by volume. It has a complex flavor with a bit of bitterness and the umami that only Yamahai can provide, but it also has a Junmai-like quality, and you can enjoy it in a variety of ways. It is a slightly maniacal sake for those who like Yamahai and those who like a firm dry taste. And the cost is also quite good.
Niigata Meizou would be more popular if it weren't for the fierce competition in Niigata. The taste is completely Niigata's image of sake, though. Anyway, I support them!
It has a strong flavor, slightly sweet, slightly sour, and rather tangy and dry at the end.
It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, so it is not too much, but it has a rich taste.
It is a bit distinctive, but it is easy to match with food.
But why such a strange name?
Today I came to a small restaurant for a drink 🍶 with delicious homemade products. The dry, clear and delicious sake was great ^_^The sake cups and tableware were stylish and it became my favorite restaurant. ❣️❣️❣️❣️
The week is over.
I came home from the office alone.
Sake with the wife is the best thing of all!

A heaping pile of edamame is a standard in Niigata in summer👍.
Sake is a fire-brewed sake by Black Naga, which was purchased at Niigata Meisho-san's sales event at Isetan in Shinjuku before the Obon vacation.
It has a savory flavor.
Hi Hi Hiraccio 😃That's a heaping pile of edamame 🫛, do you eat this much in one sitting? Awesome ‼️
Okinawa Shogaku is your guess team too? I was rooting for Gifu Shogyo myself 📣 but the day after tomorrow I will be rooting for Okinawa 📣📣.
Okinawa Shogaku was guessed as a possible winner of this year's tournament.
I got the Okinawa Shogaku goods as souvenirs for my friends who are Okinawa Shogaku fans.
I was attracted by the delicacy of jasmine and plum blossoms!
Yes, yes, I know it's gentle!
Gentle and soft! It's not so sweet, but it's soft enough to cover it up.
