Well, well, well.
It is fresh and delicious, partly because it is a draft sake.
It has a strong rice flavor because it is from a slightly higher region in Niigata.
I like that.
Sake from the 100 rice bales brewery. This is my first time drinking sake from this brewery and I'm looking forward to it 😊.
It has a delicious rice flavor, a little sweetness and freshness, but also surprisingly sharp and tasty.
Thank you for the food 😆.

Here is the 10th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jinjyo.
Following the Junmai, this one is also aged. The weight is less heavy than the Junmai. The acidity is also moderate. Like the Junmai, I think this one is best for warming up.

The 9th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jin is here.
Darker flavor. A sense of maturity. Heavy. Definitely better heated 🤔 My wife says it's grape-like 🍇. Tuna pico softens the weight. Dried baby scallops very good too.

It has a strong flavor and a strong alcohol taste, but it is sharp and easy to drink. It's also very sweet and has a high alcohol content, but it's easy to drink and good. Don't die if you drink it too fast!

The liquor store in Kuise went out of business and we couldn't buy 100 rice bales, so we went to Furuki Sake-ten near Panasta.
The store was also promoting Gamba ⚽
The brands they carry are Kiyotsuru, Katano Sakura, Yamazaru, Sanzen, Daikoku Masamune, Yone Hyakutawara, Yosamusume, etc.
Yosamusume is a new brand!
It's not an easy place to get to because it's far from the station and up a steep hill 💦.
According to the official SNS, it is unfiltered and the rice is Takananishiki.
It has a mild sweetness and acidity with a dry astringency in the latter half.
The sweetness and sourness are both fluffy and cute 😽.
Overall, it is refreshing, but there is also a strong alcohol taste. Personally, I would like to see more sweetness and umami, but it was sweeter than I expected 🤔.
