Timeline
しんしんSYSake drinking party with friends from college started in September last year
This is the third time.
My friend introduced us to Daimon Hashimoto this time!
The owner is from Niigata and insists on Niigata sake.
We asked the proprietress to choose the sake to match the dishes!
The first sake to be paired with the appetizer was Yahiko Kyokyu Junmai Sake!
It is refreshing and easy to drink!
The party started with three members, but five of us joined this time!
It was an enjoyable evening meeting as we talked about topics other than sake!
Now, what will be the next sake?
We are looking forward to it!
extensive knowledge
This is a Junmai-shu version of Yahiko Shuzo's popular standard "Kyoku". A clean, dry junmai sake with a nice sharp taste.
Yahiko, which is the divine body of Mt. Yahiko, which is the body of a god. It is brewed with sake rice "Kami no mai" grown in its underground water "Kami no mizu" (divine water). Moromi is carefully fermented at low temperature for a long period of time, just like ginjo. The acidity is kept low and the spiciness is just the right amount to go well with meals. As a sake brewery that serves shrines, we do not brew eccentric sake, but rather small-batch sake in pursuit of "genuine national sake. kwtkn2023Very sweetness is easy to recognize, firm.
Fresh and soft on the palate.
A dangerous one because you can drink it without hesitation lol.
ヒラッチョYahiko" by Yahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture
Next is Junmai Daiginjo, same as Daiginjo, 38% polished Yamadanishiki produced in Yahiko-mura.
In the image, the golden letters are on the right side facing you.
Compared to the Daiginjo, it is softer and fuller.
To be honest, the 100ml bottle is still a small amount and it takes a short time to finish, so it requires a lot of concentration and is difficult to discern the taste properly😅.
Today from this morning, I was watching a local high school baseball tournament on the "Virtual High School Baseball" LIVE streaming service.
I appreciate the fact that all games from all over Japan are being streamed LIVE.
Fortunately, my favorite team from Niigata Prefecture made it through to the first round, so I'm having a nice evening drink 😊.
千鳥足Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio!
Concentration on the booze 🤣.
The heated battle has started ⚾️ again this summer... ‼️
Just looking at the article about high school baseball in the newspaper makes me soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy lol!
I'm sure we'll have good drinks this summer too, regardless of whether we win or lose 😋. ヒラッチョGood evening, staggered feet😊.
100ml requires more concentration 😅.
Summer championship regional tournaments have started ⚾️ ❗️
I'm watching the trends every day, especially in Saitama and Niigata prefectures👍. ヒラッチョYahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture.
Until now, the main brand of this brewery has been "Koshino Hakusetsu.
The brewery is one of Niigata Prefecture's most talented breweries, and it appears that the "Yahiko" brand will be their main brand from now on.
This Daiginjo is made from 38% polished Yamadanishiki rice produced in Yahiko Village.
In the image, the silver characters are on the left side of the bottle.
It is a high-end sake in a price range that I do not usually drink, but I got a 100ml bottle at the sake corner of Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku West Exit.
I also got a bottle of Junmai Daiginjo.
It has a dignified dignity in the dry range, and the aroma spreads when you drink it.
As the summer heat is in full swing, I try to make the most of vegetables in my dishes and snacks.
I prepare nambanzuke, a dish made from deep-fried vegetables, in the morning and refrigerate it so that the flavors soak in and I look forward to it for dinner.
The taste of the vegetables is also refreshing with a touch of vinegar. Zucchini, eggplant, burdock root.
Tomato🍅 is chilled and simple.
Spinach and snap peas with sesame paste.
きれじろうI was more impressed when I drank it in the restaurant. ヒラッチョYahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture.
The main brand was "Echino Hakusetsu," but it appears that "Yahiko" will be the main brand from now on.
This Junmai Ginjo is also made from Yamadanishiki produced in Yahiko Village, and is a good sake, not fruity, but calm and soft.
Yahiko Village is where my mother is from, and I spent a lot of time there as a child when I was sent to my mother's home, so it is like a second home to me.
Yahiko Shrine, the first shrine in Echigo, is located there. リリィEasy to drink, like water.
A little tangy but tasty 日本酒ジェントルマンWith time, a buttery, koji-like aroma develops, and the mild mouthfeel and sweetness of this bottle are pleasant. It is characterized by a mellow flavor that lingers in the aftertaste and is perfect for a relaxing time. Taste this fascinating sake full of originality. bychatGPT タニーケ。Chilled. Slightly fruity. jkrabiThis is the third bottle for January delivery. It was February when I chose a day when I could drink slowly. With Ebomaki (rice wrapped in a bamboo leaves).
This one is too sweet. The January results of the sake subs I started in January are 2 wins and 1 loss. I think it's a good thing that I'm winning. I'm looking forward to February's sake.
Yahiko Ordinary Sake -Kyoku (Yahiko Ordinary Sake -Kimoku) 金猫魔I've been curious about this Yahiko Daiginjo from Yahiko Shuzo!
This size for this price!
I was told that the "Koshinohakusetsu" series, which was the main lineup, was discontinued at the end of last year due to brand renewal. I did not know that.
This is the sacred sake brewery of Yahiko Shrine, the highest shrine in Niigata, which boasts the largest number of shrines in Japan. It is also a brewery that has produced many brewers who have gone on to become toji (master brewers).
The Izumi-style brewing method, which has been preserved at the foot of Mount Yahiko, a famous mountain in Echigo, has been used to make sake just like "Izumi".
Tradition and change.
I'll buy it next time I find it.
The difficult character for "Yahiko" shines through the luxurious white, gold and silver.
The aroma is of crisp apple and rice.
The mouthfeel is light and smooth.
The palate is smooth, with acidity and a hint of sweetness on the tongue.
The astringency and rich umami spread slowly, and the bitterness
The bitterness spreads to the back of the throat, and
Then, the bitterness flows down the back of the throat and is quickly quenched.
While leaving a slight roughness on the tongue
It is a dry sake with an elegant and clean mouthfeel.
I think I will pay a visit to Yahiko Shrine for the first time. (I haven't been there yet).

★★★☆☆☆ ヒラッチョGood evening, Golden Cat Demon 😊.
Is the brand of the Pineapple Hakusetsu finished? ❗️❓
It's an actual warehouse, isn't it?
This daiginjo looks expensive👍.
When I went back home last summer, I visited Yahiko Shrine and took the ropeway to the top of Mt. 金猫魔Hiraccio, it seems so! I don't know the details since it was written that some of the products were left and sold out...but it seems that it will be the "Yahiko" series with a new label. Mt. Yahiko is nice! And the stars are beautiful in summer! RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
