Many people reviewed the Echigo Kenshin SAKE Festival held last month, and a friend of mine who attended the festival bought the sake that I was visually overwhelmed by 🎶Thank you so much 🎶.
I've never seen such artistic ❔ labels here, so why the camouflage... ❔?
I think it's a rather typical Niigata Nama sake, but it's very smooth and elegant without being angular, while still being slightly effervescent and rough ✨.
The sweetness is very Joetsu-like and the banana-like fruitiness is pleasant 😌.
But I'm still curious about the concept of the label... why a white sweetfish on a camouflaged water surface ❔🫨?
The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Yukinosei.
Yuki no Sei is the grandson of Koshihikari and is said to be the best for sushi rice.
It has a slightly sweet taste with a slightly spicy aftertaste.
It is more suitable for grilled fish than for sushi.

It was the easiest to drink at the tasting. It was very popular with the camouflage at the event.
I thought about quitting for a moment, but was told that it was okay for a day or two because it was not summer and I could drink it.
We opened the bottle early on Tuesday.
It was fresh, but a little different from Saturday. I guess there is a difference between tasting and drinking it slowly.

Ayu Masamune. I think there was a new sake tasting, but I don't have a picture of it.
The second camouflage pattern was the easiest to drink and I bought it in the second week after I heard it was limited to the venue. ✌️
The brewery is located in Myoko City.
［This is the third and final round of drinks at "prking Kitahama Hakkosho".
Ayu Masamune Honjozo.
The aroma is full of ayu, and the mouthfeel is full of umami and ayu sweetness, and the taste is crisp on the tongue, followed by a clean and pleasant aftertaste.
［I was surprised to find a sake with such a name after reading other people's reviews of it on Sake-no-wa.
We left the store with some souvenirs ✨.
The fourth picture shows a restaurant near Shin-Osaka station that serves Kochi's famous "Jang-men", which I had been interested in for a long time, so I stopped by for lunch before heading to "Kitahama Hakkosho" (Kitahama Fermentation Factory) 🍜.
Jang-men" ramen noodles with egg sauce, full of leek and hormone, delicious 😋.
Ki: Light, grain aroma? Peak around here
Sequence
TURN: I feel something...
Conclusion: A little long and sharp, mature aroma
It is good on the rocks.
This is a brand of local sake that local old men like to drink.
It's not the fruity, easy-to-drink kind of sake, but more like an old-fashioned sake.
Ki Melting apple juice
Cheng Apples sourness, but not oxidative sourness, pleasant.
TEN: No gassy feeling. Tense, a little tingling, a little bit of sake when it goes down your throat.
Conclusion No. There is no smoothness. There is no aftertaste at all. FF (Front FWD), center of gravity in front.
