Drank in a sake flight I made while watching the last episodes of Critical Role Campaign 1 with friends.
It was very pleasantly dry! Very drinkable and enjoyable

I bought this sake by the packet (label) at Ponshukan in Niigata Station.

The other day, I went to the Ponshu-kan in Nagaoka and found a corner unusually pushing Kinshi-hai sake brewery 🍶.
Kinshi-Kibai is the Echigo Toji brand, and I have not seen much of it sold anywhere else, except for the Honjozo, and this Yukikage was my first encounter with it. 🙇♂️
So I bought this sake.
My impression of Echigo Toji is that it has the characteristics of Niigata sake, but with a solid structure and a hard man's sake.
This one has that backbone, but with a gentle touch 😌.
It's smooth and round without any sticking points. 〰︎
It has a greenish banana-like flavor before ripening, and the ripeness and minerality are common to other sake like Echigo Toji 🤔.
It seems to be made from melted snow as it is ❄️⛰️

I forgot I had it in the fridge.
It was getting hot.
I opened the fridge and found it (laughs)
Sake from Niigata Gosen City
Maybe because it was chilled
Clean on the palate
A strong aftertaste
Well...
I looked up "Gosen-shi".
I found a picture of tulips.
They are beautiful!
Historically speaking
In the Edo period, it was a castle town of the Muramatsu clan.
During the Meiji Restoration, the town was affected by the alliance of the Ou domain and suffered severe damage during the Boshin War.
After the Meiji period, the city became a military town.
The name "Kinshi-no-hai" seems to be an extension of this history.
Niigata
I would like to visit there again.

Dry; bit of an earthy smell
Fishpeople
Smooth, fuller mouthfeel and a light richness. Mild umami comes after some bright fruity fermentation flavor.
Fishpeople
Very aromatic. Floral notes, some viscosity, but still dry on the palate. Clean finish.
