In the Showa period, it was a hard-to-find brand in Niigata,
Recently, it can be found in mass merchandisers.
It has a strong alcoholic taste when served cold, but when served lukewarm, it has a nice mouthfeel,
but it is easy to drink when warmed to lukewarm.
It is very easy to drink.
It is quite different from Hishiko, even though they are from the same brewery.
This was my first visit to Mine-no-Hakubai!
It is brewed by three young brewers who are determined to defeat Mr. Touji Ijima!
They were beaten back and this is their fourth attempt...will they win the day...?
The power of youth...let's see it!
From the apple-like taste, accompanied by sourness, the aftertaste is so easy and clean!
There is a lingering bitter aftertaste that is a bit complex, but it disappears quickly, so I don't feel bad about it.
This is a very high level sake...?
I think it's more than enough to give a sense of the future.
What kind of monster is Mr. Ijima who can't win even with this... amazing!
Thanks again for your comments, Jay & Nobby 🥰.
The choice of young people is an augmentation of sweetness... I'm curious to see if we can win this time w
This is also my son's souvenir from Niigata. It is his first sake.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio 65
It has a fresh aroma and is pleasant on the palate.
The taste of the rice has a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
It went well with meals either cold or lukewarm.
Went well with grilled squid and Sesko crab. It was a good match with grilled squid and seko-gani.
Hi Lutertemi 😃.
It's nice to get a souvenir of your first drink 🤗Mine-no-hakuubai-san gave me a young master brewer's sake called Shimokatsujo before 😋I'd like to try the original one too 😙.
Squid roast 🦑Seko crab 🦀...just imagine it 🤤!
Hi Jay & Nobby 😁I see you have a sake brewed by a young master brewer 😳I'd like to try it.
I'm glad to know that this year we can get Seko crab at a lower price so it will be on our table more often 😆.
Apple-like fruity aroma and aromatic rice aroma coexist.
It has a slight gassy feeling.
Lightly sweet and delicious, with a slightly acidic and fresh taste.
Light mouthfeel.
It is as ladylike as the label.
Taste level 3.5/5
