The first Koshino-Kanbai was a white label.
I wondered if the sake that was once considered a mirage could be used in the modern age. I wanted to give it a try, so I bought it.
It is a light and dry sake, but the balance between the robust flavor and the tangy stimulation of the alkaloids is quite good.
The spiciness becomes stronger when heated, and it is delicious.
It's not a sake that appeals to young people, but it's good for those who like the taste of traditional sake.
I would like to try a higher grade sake as well, since I can't tell how good it is from the white label alone.
A story at the end of the year.
I was invited to my sister-in-law's house for a dinner party, and I brought some sake as a gift. She knew I liked sake, so she said, "I didn't know what you liked, so I bought you some sake at random. Oh, it's a classic sake that I never get tired of drinking.
Mild aroma.
Gentle sweetness and umami.
The aftertaste is dry and crisp. The sweetness is enhanced by having it warmed up a little.
We had freshly made handmade soba noodles. To accompany the meal, we had a bottle of lukewarm sake, which we received at the end of the year.
Koshino-Kanbai Ginjo-shu Bessen
Ishimoto Shuzo(Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture)
Hatsumode (New Year's visit) to Hakusan Shrine.
The weather was fine after the rain.
I reported that I had spent the year safely and wished for another year of family safety, traffic safety, academic success, and so on.
I am happy to be able to continue to enjoy drinking in good health.
Matsuo Shrine, one of the Hakusan shrines, is dedicated to Nakatsushima-hime-no-kami (Princess Nakatsushima = Benzaiten), one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune, the god of wealth, the god of music and the goddess of beauty, as well as the god of sake, which is said to bring prosperity and safety in the brewing industry. I visited the shrine with a large amount of money.
The label of Koshino-Kanbai's sake.
It is light and dry, but at the same time mild and delicious.
Compared to the one you just mentioned, I get the impression that it doesn't have the same characteristics.
I think the food itself is tasty, but I think this is best enjoyed as a food wine.
This is Echino Kanme, which was given to me by a relative.
It was the first time for me to drink Gin-sen, but I was able to drink it easily because it has a smooth, mineral taste and goes down smoothly.
It was a bottle that went well with New Year's dishes!
