Also recommended to be heated 😳.
I've learned that the alcohol taste is different when heated than when chilled.
I learned that the alcoholic taste that comes out when it is cold is different when it is hot!
Thank goodness it's still cold!

We purchased this wine at Tachihara Sake Shop in Joetsu City last fall.
First prize in the International Wine Challenge SAKE category - Honjozo
It has a sweet, mild umami taste with a surprisingly dry aftertaste.
We had it with Kurose yellowtail sashimi from a nearby supermarket that serves great fish, and a 7-Eleven squid and cucumber with a deliciously spicy sauce 😃.
Ordered it cold. I drank almost a whole bottle by myself. The smell is a little spicy at first, but the sweet aftertaste gives the impression of being well put together.
A friend recommended this drink to me. Delicious! Itkey and Shiroro Hanabi are sweet and wine-like. It's like a wine that is an extension of sake. It's like a wine that is an extension of sake.
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.
