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.

One week after opening. The acidity was strong right after opening the package, so it didn't seem too strange. When I drank it by itself, it became mellower and tastier than after opening the package (personal impression). I think it became mellower and tastier (personal impression). Since it is similar to white wine, I drank it with salmon sashimi, chicken with mayo, and canned whale meat. It goes very well with them.

Purchased at a local liquor store. I was attracted by the stylish name and the label, which says it is a sake like white wine. It is said to go well with meat and cheese, but unfortunately, today's entrée was grilled hokke and grilled vegetables. The aroma is not very strong. It has a light taste with a strong acidity like white wine. I personally don't like the strong acidity, but it is a good wine to drink during a meal because you can feel the umami of rice in the latter half of the wine.

Score ☆☆☆☆ I found a drink that looked a little interesting and popped it in ☝️ lol I've tried 1200 times to make a new sake that fits with modern food. The 888th one was the best, hence the name. The aroma is banana🍌-like, but with a hint of sourness. Taste is sour as expected 😅. It has a sake-like taste, but it's sourness is trying to make it more like a white wine. Not the same as juicy sourness 💦. It's kind of a deliberate sourness. There is some sweetness, but not enough umami. Sweet and sour but dry structure. I wonder if this means it is adapted to the modern diet 🤔. Taste is not rounded, a bit hard to drink for me personally, even though it's a bottle 😅. Third image. Local chain with multiple locations in Akita and Iwate 🍜. This restaurant's recommended Nanban Ramen🍜. Pork bone soy sauce, sesame oil and plenty of pepper seasoned with green onion Y(´▽ `)Y Mmmm 🤔 Not bad but not super tasty either lol It's just like 888 🤣. But the ramen store is popular, even around 7pm on a Friday night it was packed 🈵 and there were a few people waiting 😳

Hi T.KISO 😃 Is it 888/1200 😳I quit with this last one! I'm also curious about the taste of the 1200th bottle 😅888 ramen🍜 is very popular! So does that mean 888🍶 will be popular with the general public🤔?

Good evening, Jay & Nobby😄. I bet you must have been like, oh I can't do this anymore😣! and quit at 1200? LOL! I guess you could say it's a compromise drink 🤣. I don't think it's popular with the general public😅.

Bottle 163. The wine-like acidity is noticeable, but the sake-like aroma also rises well.

I bought one of several that I drank at Ponshukan in Echigo-Yuzawa, one of the lighter ones that I liked. This liquor is like wine and is wrapped in a sweet aroma. Satisfied by the smell. I can guzzle it, but I have to be careful. Toei, Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture Niigata famous sake N-888 The new wave sake
