Echigo tasted sake from Itoigawa.
I received this sake as a return gift from my hometown tax payment.
It was a very tasty sake with a refreshingly light and cool taste.
Tsukifumi no Ike Junmai Arabashiri Nama Sake
Inomata Shuzo Co.
Alcohol content 16%.
Rice polishing ratio 65
Raw material rice: "Takananishiki" from Itoigawa Hayakawa Valley
Pale silver with a slight haze
The first impression of the aroma is "a gentle ginjo aroma in the rice.
Banana before ripeness, lychee, white dumpling, slightly spicy
The first impression on the palate is "a good punch".
Strong and full sweetness typical of arabashiri, gentle and moderate acidity, mild bitterness.
The balance of the strength of arabashiri is well controlled, and you can feel the umami of the rice and enjoy the ginjo aroma that is not too assertive as you finish your cup.
The sake is delicious on its own, but not too strong, so it is easy to pair with food.
It is not too strong, so it is easy to match with dishes.
Purchased at Ponshukan in Niigata Station
This is the first time I have seen Kasumi Sake. It is stored at room temperature.
Tsukimizu no Ike de Nigori reminds me of the unfiltered unpasteurized sake that you can get from Furusato (hometown) tax payment.
It has a strong flavor. It also goes well with snacks.
It is also good as a snack.
