I never thought I would be able to enjoy Katafune at a kaku-uchi (corner bar).
The sake was thought to be extremely sweet, with a sake degree of -50 degrees. It was sweet, but the aftertaste was not bad.
The other sake was unusually dry, so I could enjoy it alternately!
Katafune was given to me by a junior employee of my company.
This is the first time for me to drink Katafune at home,
It is a Niigata Prefecture sake, but as is typical of Joetsu sake, it is slightly sweet and full-bodied, and delicious.
It is a good sake, carefully made.
I had it with furofuki daikon (Japanese radish).
Happy New Year!
I was making my New Year's rounds in Joetsu, where I have many relatives, but because of what happened last year, I took the wheel as a driver this year and could not drink.
But thankfully, I received sake to drink after I returned home. The osechi was delicious!

Kinekomama, I wish you a happy new year again: 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
It's sad that we don't have any sake for the New Year's visit, but it's nice to relax at home with some souvenir sake 🤗.
I have an image that Niigata is dry 🤔Joetsu is a sweet type of sake! I'm learning a lot 😊.
Jay & Nobby, once again, I wish you a good year! 🍶✨The Joetsu area has long been known for its sweet and delicious sake, with Yukinakubai as a representative. Chiyonomikari, Kenshin, Myokozan, and more recently, Sakekou. Other regions are also increasing the number of sweet sake.
A sake brewery about 5 minutes drive from my parents' house in my hometown.
I have had the pleasure of drinking it at various weddings, funerals, and other occasions.
I never expected to see them at KITTE Osaka!
I hope they will always be loved by the locals, but on the other hand, I also hope they will become more famous...
Come to think of it, I haven't been back home for a while.
A mysterious restaurant in Echigo. At the first party, we were completely full after thick fried bean curd, pork cutlet, Koshihikari rice balls and beer.
The second party was to enjoy local sake. Have you ever had much sake? It might be my first time, so I followed Yuten and went to Katafune.
The Sai Sei of Katafune! I received this as a birthday present!
It is written "Saisei," which means "live colorfully and vividly" in Japanese! It's a good name.
I want to spend this year in good health so that I can taste delicious sake again.
The label of autumn, floating vaguely in the moonlight.
Slightly refreshing young melon,
The color is pale gold,
The mouthfeel is slightly smooth.
The dark sweetness and light acidity,
The stimulation on the tip of the tongue
The refreshing bitterness and rich umami spread out,
The umami is also strong,
The deep and complex flavor is characterized by the four-stage kumidashi brewing process, which is rarely used today,
It is delicious!
===Delicious!
