Sake from the breweries of Chojamori and Koshino-Kanchubai. I had been interested in this sake for a long time, but I bought it because it was on special price and there was a draft. According to the Internet, the rice is Koshitanrei. I've seen the hi-ire version but only at Ito-Yokado 🤔. I heard it was developed in collaboration with Takaoka National College of Technology, and the 888th sake out of 1200 test brews was so good that they decided to commercialize it. Sourness like wine. It has sweetness but it's not like sake. As the description says, I would like to match it with meat and cheese.

It's a good mix between Sauvignon Blanc (white wine) and pure rice wine (laughs). They say it's a limited edition product and is sold at Ito Yokado.

I was attracted by the very unique labeling. 888th of 1200 tastings was the closest to the ideal sake. It has acidity but strong umami flavor and fits well with crab zosui (rice with crab) on New Year's Eve. Thank you 🙇‍♂️ as the last sake of 2025!

Great sourness! Interesting lactobacillus-based sweet and sour with a short aftertaste! Seems to be No.1 in the annual ranking! It's nice to meet you and I'm glad I had a chance to try it! I'm going to finish with 4 cups on my arrival day! I'm looking forward to going back😊.

Not much aroma and a little hard. If I had to guess, I would say the muscat is powdered sugar. When you drink it, it has a strong acidity and the same or more umami, dashi-like taste. The aftertaste is clean and does not linger. My partner said it was like a thicker, more concentrated version of his favorite Senkou Ichiki. It certainly has thickness, so it seems to be easy to pair with strong meals. It does not have an old-fashioned sake-like taste, so even I found it delicious.

Today's sake is the 888th Junmai Daiginjo born out of 1200 trial brewings of Niigata Meisho, a famous brewery in Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture, known for its Chojamori. ❗️N-888❗️❗️ The aroma is faintly sweet❗️As you take a sip, you will feel sourness and sibilance on the tip of your tongue❗️And then a fresh fruity sweet aroma will pass through your nose❗️Good Sake⭕️
