Since I couldn't go home for Obon this year, I went back to my hometown, Nagaoka, to watch the fireworks 🚅.
Waiting for me was the local staple sake 🍶.
The aroma is mild 🎵
Slightly sweet with a thickened taste 😉.
Pungent sourness comes in later ✨.
A bottle with great sharpness 🍶.
Served with local fireworks 🎆.
First of all, the aroma was spicy for a moment, so I drank it thinking it was spicy, but it was very sweet, with a nice sweetness and a sharp acidity, and the aftertaste was clean and refreshing.
It is easy to drink and delicious.
You can taste the flavor of rice in this sake.
I wonder if the initial spicy aroma was just my imagination or what.
Clean fresh, I see.
Maybe I don't like nama sake that much.
I'm starting to think that I'm expecting rice flavor and richness from the words "Niigata" and "Junmai" and it's not the case.

Pale yellow. Aroma of sweet rice.
Tastes sweet but has a clean aftertaste. It is a little bit shwitty, so you can enjoy it easily.
Delicious.
It is served with horse sashimi.
A green apple-like aroma spreads in the mouth. The aroma is restrained, and when you put it in your mouth, it has the same green apple aroma. Although the rice is 90% polished, it is crisp and clean with no cloying taste. The price can be kept low because a lot of rice can be used.
It is recommended to drink it cold. If you continue drinking it, you will be left with a slightly heavy bitterness in the aftertaste, but in general, it gives a good impression.
