This time it is Nechi Nechi Otokoyama's Nechi Nechi Valley Gohyakumangoku 2019BY.
It is a sake from Itoigawa, Niigata Prefecture.
Nechi is a Nechiozan Nechi Valley Domaine sake.
I stopped by for a drink after work because of the holiday weekend 😎.
It is served cold.
It has a pale yellow appearance.
The nose has aromas of mushrooms, sweet chocolate, and soy sauce.
From the soft mouthfeel, there is an excellent balance between the clear, caramelized sweet umami and refreshing acidity, with a beautiful finish where the bitterness slowly builds from the acidity and finishes with a sharp finish.
With all due respect, I had no idea that this was such a beautifully aged sake, and I was very impressed after taking a sip.
It is a sake that I am glad to have encountered, as it is able to express such a beautiful and deep state of maturity in cold sake.
And, it is a pleasure to have found it,
While I wrote that I stopped by for a cup of sake,
I actually drank Kaze no Mori Weeks 2024, Gorin, and Nechi.
Isn't that a pretty drunken course?
Well, I'm a happy drunk 🤣.

Good evening, Mr. Hirupeko.
I think it might be a cafe and liquor store in Dojima 🧐 It was a little different label, but the Nechi I had at the event was delicious 😋.

Good morning, bouken ☀Yes, it's the Osare Cafe in Dojima! I didn't know about Nechi and I'm glad I got to drink it 👍They didn't sell the 2019BY, but they did sell a slightly more shallow aged version 😊.
