Today's sake is Nechiozan 😀.
Of course, this is the first time I've had this brand and it came to my house from a liquor store's hanpukai 🤣.
I've never been able to get my hands on Niigata sake because it's so expensive 😅.
It is said to be a blend of three different types of sake including Gohyakumangoku and Koshitanrei... The aroma is fruity and to my liking😇.
The taste is... surprisingly... fruity but also delicious with a strong umami flavor 😀.
It must have been a good combination to be able to blend and make such a beautiful and tasty sake😇.
First time in Nechi-Osan (Mt. Nechi-Osan)
Smells more like Western-style sake than Japanese sake.
It smells more like Western-style sake.
The taste is dry, and compared to the sweet sake I usually drink
It leaves a tangy taste on the tongue.
The taste is also dry with a complex smokiness.
It has a complex smoky taste.
It's nice to have a dry taste once in a while, isn't it?
Smoked snacks would go well with it.
I thought Otokoyama was a Hokkaido sake, but to my surprise, it originated in Itami. Although the legitimacy of Otokoyama was later passed down to Asahikawa, Hokkaido, there are actually Otokoyama brands all over eastern Japan (indeed, in every prefecture).
In fact, there are Otokoyama brands in various parts of eastern Japan (really, in each prefecture), which is an interesting history.
The one I have on hand is Nechi-Otokoyama from Uonuma, Niigata. I don't know what I should learn, but I drank it.
It is a very typical Niigata rice sake with a full flavor. It is a big tasting sake, easy to refill, and suitable for evening drinks.
It is as good as water because it does not stink at the end of drinking.
We look forward to the next encounter with Otokoyama.
Haneda ↔︎ is surprisingly close to Shin-Chitose.
It is only sweet, fresh, pear and melon-like.
And it lingers in the mouth for a long time.
It gives a sweet and strong impression.
It is a delicious limited edition.
It is easy to drink, with a mild, slightly dry taste in the mouth. It is easy to drink. It has a good sense of assertiveness that does not interfere with various other dishes.
