It's been a while since I've been out drinking sake. My family told me to go out for dinner if I was going to be late. (When you go skiing, even 17:00 is considered "late".) If I go to the hot spring resort area, I won't be able to go home normally (=take a cab home), so I went to the station today.
I ordered at "Minatoya Tousuke", which I had used many times as an errand, but I hadn't used it recently.
It came in a large buckwheat noodle cup that could hold one cup of sake, but it was over in a flash.
The snacks were iburigakko cheese, tochi-age (with kagura nanban), and oden.
Sake is made from rice, and although I am keenly aware that sake is sweet because it is made from rice, I can drink it without any stickiness at all, and it is very easy to drink.
It's so versatile. I will continue to choose it for my errands.
Sake bought on a trip to Niigata. I drank a lot and carefully selected the sake I bought. Sake from a rice-producing region! It is refreshingly fruity, not too sweet, and super easy to drink. The bottle shape is unique and makes a nice sound when pouring 😄.
Brewed by Shirataki Shuzo in Minamiuonuma, Niigata
Minatoya Tosuke Junmai Daiginjo
Junmai Daiginjo-shu named after the founder, Minatoya Tousuke.
It is brewed by brewers who carry on the long tradition of brewing.
The sake is full of rice🍚 flavor.
A perfect balance of umami, sweetness, and bitterness 😆.
