On a hot summer day, a sake brewer was at THE NIIGATA (Niigata Information Center / Products Hall) in Ginza. I tasted the sake, liked it instantly, and bought it.
Today, I opened the bottle!
I learned the term "rich and dry" with this sake. It has a nice aroma that lingers in your mouth after drinking and makes you want to drink it again.
The label is cool and nice too!
JUN-san Good evening. When I was a freshman in college (45 years ago), heated sake that everyone else could no longer drink was lined up in front of me at a party. I did not like sake at that time. But I found a good sake at a liquor store that appeared in the local edition of the newspaper!
AAJI, thank you for sharing your wonderful memories 😊The line of heated sake left by everyone at the party...you must be pretty strong (lol)...it's wonderful to meet good sake at a local liquor store.

I wanted to try a strong dry sake, so I chose Kashiwa Dew.
I thought it would be okay because I am used to drinking Sanzenmori, but I didn't feel it was that spicy despite its high alcohol content.
It did have a cheese-like sourness, but it was not strong.
I would have understood if I had drunk it first.
I still have some more sake to drink, so I bought some coins.
Slightly yellowish and clear with fine effervescence. There are aromas of honeysuckle, topknot, and pear. The attack is rather strong, with gentle acidity, rich sweetness, and a rather long finish.
Souvenirs of Niigata Nagaoka Fireworks (for myself)...
Sake from Nagaoka City.
I had never drunk it before, so I bought it...
Personally, I found the taste not so good.
It was not like Junmai (pure rice) sake... it had a little bit of a strong taste.

Sake rice brand unknown, rice polishing ratio 65%.
As the name "Sweet" suggests, it tastes sweet and yogurt-like. I don't dislike this kind of sake. ☺️ It is easy to drink and delicious.
