My favorite Gagakuyo😍.
When you pour it into a sake cup, you can see fine bubbles dancing. They disappear quickly.
The acidity spreads to the tip of the tongue, and the flavor that travels from the tip of the tongue to the entire tongue can't be described well, but it is like watermelon juice with a little sweetness 😊.
After that, from the middle to the back of the tongue, the taste is less sweet and remains like a mixture of red bean paste and custard cream.
The drink is juicy all the way through, never gets old and never stops😅.
You can also feel the astringent bitterness when you take a sip.
The fourth sake bottle in the sake camp is Garakudai by Tenryohai Sake Brewery, the ace behind Niigata sake brands. This time, I bought not Gekka, Zuika, Rokka, or Ouroboros, but Sashu, a limited edition of Sake-no-jin. This time, I bought not Gekka, Zuika, Rokka, or Ouroboros, but Sasu, a limited edition of Sake-no-jin. I guess you have to buy it when you are told it is a limited edition, right?
My impression of Garakudai is that it is clear and transparent, but this one has not only that, but it also has the feeling of a Niigata sake. It's nice, and I felt a kind of local love for it.
Hello, everyone.
So, this Sasu Gagakuyo may actually be something based on Tenryo-bai (the original brand name) with a sheepskin (a white label)? This is my current hypothesis.
In order to confirm this hypothesis, I have to go there to buy "Tenryo Sake Cup"...but I still have homework to do this year... (smiles)

Slightly effervescent. Muscat aroma. Soft, sweet and juicy with moderate acidity. The aftertaste is clean. A dessert-like, rewarding and popular taste. Delicious.
Purchased at the Niigata Sake-no-jin (Sake Festival) on March 8 and 9. 4 sessions in the morning and afternoon.
Attracted by the "secret sake" on the flyer handed out in the opening line, I went straight there right after the entrance, but it was already sold out at the session I attended. Oh no.
I'll go for another one 🍶.
It's my first Gagakuyo 🍶.
Clean, apple-like mouthfeel.
The acidity is just right and the balance is very good 😁 Delicious 😁.
Low alcohol content of 12.5%.
Slight sweetness and gentle aftertaste.
The best balance and drinkability as a first step to make sake a hobby. Very refreshing.
It goes well with all kinds of snacks, but it is better to drink it cold.
Home-drinking.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and moderate sweetness. When drunk chilled, the acidity predominates over the sweetness, and as the temperature rises, the sweetness expands.
Our Sake Camp night at Hanazono Jun's.
This is a very popular brand of Niigata sake following Abe.
Although not as big as Abe, Tenryo Hai Sake Brewery's booth at the Niigata Sake no Jin is also very prosperous.
I try to go through the Abe Gagakuyo every time and drink outside.
But I guess I was having a lot of fun, and I don't remember the taste of this at all. (LOL)
The only thing I can say is that it was definitely delicious!
