This is a dangerous raw sake with an alcohol content of 20 degrees C. It has a rich aroma, a gorgeous mouthfeel, and an alcoholic taste! The rich aroma, gorgeous mouthfeel, and alcohol taste are all there! This is certainly dangerous.
Junmai Ginjo with a strong peculiar taste.
The strength of its character is Junmai, but it does not have a polished feel and does not feel like a Ginjo.
The sweetness, umami, acidity, and bitterness are all strong.
Very good on the rocks.
Dangerous alcohol with 20 degrees. It is true that the aftertaste is 20 degrees. But I don't mind it because it's so clear and dry that you can drink it easily. This is dangerous. It has a unique mild flavor like chestnut.
Drinking a little bit from Monday. It was supposed to be a break after last weekend's event, but I had to work a little overtime today. We had a cool down drink at a standing sushi bar. A spectacular line of Niigata sake cups lined up in the fridge. I take out a cup of sake myself. The sake is soft and light. I had it with sashimi.
When I heard that it was sweet, I wondered if it would go well with soba noodles. I wondered if it would go well with soba, but it was indeed sweet, but the richness and spiciness spread afterwards.
Aroma of fermentation. Smooth on the palate, with a sense of mellowness and thickening.
It is light but has umami and a solid alcohol taste.
It was a gift, but we enjoyed it 👍.
Niigata Furusato Kan for home drinking
The royal road to deliciousness!
Not much aroma but just the right amount of sweetness and just the right amount of umami to go with all kinds of snacks.
The final cut is also very gentle. ☺️
