Usubeni Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
Goes well with refreshing salads.
Elegant aroma, freshness. But it has depth in the back. Great with burrata, fruity tomatoes, and arugula salad.
We are having this one tonight.
I bought this bottle at last year's Joetsu Kenshin SAKE Festival.

Unfiltered Junmai Daiginjo Nama Sake
Kubiki Shuzo (Kakizaki-ku, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture)
Very gorgeous and clean!
Perfect as a mid-meal drink and a great accompaniment to sashimi.
Seasonal "Spring Junmai" has a pleasant slightly effervescent taste.
The snow has already disappeared from the lower elevation ski areas, Echigo-Yuzawa.
Today, we have a bottle of Echigo-Yuzawa Benibai with a cute label.
It is made from 100% Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Kakizaki, Niigata Prefecture, 60% polished rice, 16% alcohol by volume, and requires refrigeration.
It has a sourness and a little bit of a "splash" feeling.
It has a high aroma and is very refreshing.
Today's snack was silken tofu with salted black pepper and olive oil.
It is an Italian dish, but it goes well with it.
I wonder if my life of unlimited sake selection will soon come to an end!
I bought it at a fashionable liquor store (Nemoto Sake Shop) during my trip to Sapporo.
It's not from Hokkaido, but I was attracted by the spring-like label.
It tastes sweet and sour, easy to drink and charming!
I'm sure I'll have a good night's sleep again today 😴.
I really like the color of the label (≧▽≦), it's a pretty pink, current color...and the taste is also very spring-like with a hint of brightness! It goes well with both bonito and rockfish!
Serve with mekabu, sashimi of yellowtail and bonito, and buckwheat rice!

Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
Alcohol content: 16%.
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Heisei Meisui Hyakusui (100 best waters in Japan)
Made from Oideguchi spring water
At first, the sourness is mixed with a hint of bitterness
It rides on the tongue.
But soon the delicious taste spreads
The taste is almost addictive!
I haven't had this kind of taste in a while.
It's not a classic
Sake rice produced to boost Niigata's agriculture
I wonder what the brand name is.
I got this sake as a gift from Niigata.
It may not be sold in Tokyo.
First of all, the label is super cute! Lovely!
The taste is also very good! I think it is similar to Kaze no Mori no Hanabi, but with a little less alcohol. It is a dangerous drink that is so delicious that I gobble it up.
I would like to try it with sashimi such as horse mackerel, yellowtail, abalone, etc., nameko mushrooms, lettuce salad, etc., though not saury!
