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.

We all received this as a souvenir from a trip to Nakatsugawa at a home drinking party for two days in a row! Polishing ratio 50%. It is said to be a sake like wine! I'm looking forward to it! The smell was... not much, but it smelled slightly crisp and dry. When you drink it, you will notice a slight umami flavor and quite a bit of acidity! When paired with cheese, this acidity disappears and it's like a swishy drink! It was very tasty!

At an inn during a trip to Niigata. I bought it at Ponshukan because it had a high ranking. It was delicious.

Purchased at my favorite Sagajo Shoten: ‼️ I thought it might be a wine type wine because it "goes well with cheese and meat" 🍷. It has a subtle sweetness, a clean flavor, and a nice sharpness 😋 It has a wine-like quality, but it still has a sake-like quality ❗I guess it's a good example of Niigata's beautifully light and dry taste 🎵. I paired it with cheetara and yakitori and it was perfect 😉. It's perfect with cheetara and yakitori 🆗 even with very fatty food ❗

If you finally made 1200 attempts, doesn't that mean you weren't satisfied with the 888th attempt? And then they just commercialized it? I have a hard time believing that.

Hi Manachy 😃 First of all, it's amazing that the brewery is able to brew that many sake with so much thought and care! Hats off to you for continuing to brew and test brew to make good sake 😌It's a brave decision to sell this sake for the 888th time without fear of failure 😉.
