Quite a special one as you seldom see Honjozo namazake in the market. This version of Year of Snake sake comes with clear rice taste, clean and crispy style. Also coming with the melon banana namezake taste. An interesting style to try which demonstrate the rice feel!
Warning-level heavy snow is forecast for Niigata!
It has snowed in Niigata City for the first time in a long time.
Fine snowflakes are blowing around in strong winds, the spirit of the snow.

Koshino Hakugan freshly pressed sake,
A snake label.
In the year of the dragon, we often found and drank sake with names related to dragons, but there are not many sake that are typical of the year of the snake. Incidentally, Sotenbo, which I drank the other day, has a very dry brand called "Jange," which means "a snake escapes.
This one is a freshly squeezed sake with a label named after the Chinese zodiac every year. Hakuda is good luck.
The aroma, very fruity, soft and gorgeous with rice and mochi-like sweetness,
Smooth and elegant with a touch of astringency and acidity.
It has a full-bodied flavor,
The fresh, unique aroma and flavor are unique.
It is dry and crisp,
Delicious!

Normal sake🍶Kuromatsu🌲.
This is the third sake in the Uosen drinking set.
It's a bit heavy and spicy behind the refreshing acidity. A little spicy and heavy behind the refreshing acidity. It's a bit spicy and heavy behind the refreshing acidity. Sashimi with a side dish of sashimi 😋.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Hiyaoroshi✨Niigata Shinnosuke🌾.
The 11th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jinshin is here.
It is dry and sharp. It may be the spiciest of the day. I think this is the first time I've had Shinnosuke sake rice.

Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA⑭
Koshino Shiragane" booth.
The main product was a honjozo type, and 80% of the sake was shipped to customers in the prefecture.
Koshinohakugan Kuromatsu
The highest gold award for two consecutive years in the lukewarm category of the National Heated Sake Contest in 2020 and 2021. It's so cheap, I'm scared. It's very cheap and I'm scared. It has a mild sake taste with a rich sweetness and umami.
Koshino Shiragane Junmai
Made from Gohyakumangoku rice. It is a junmai sake with a sharp and tight acidity.
Koshino Heki Junmai Ginjo
Also made with Gohyakumangoku. It has a clear sourness and a strong acidity.
Koshino Shiragane Junmai Daiginjo Hiyahiroshi, unfiltered, bottle-hitched.
I was going to skip the Hiyoroshi, but bouken said he was going to drink it, so I tasted it. It's fruity, rich, and full-bodied, with a richness that I like.
The pricing is too cheap and buggy.
Koshino Shiragane Daiginjo Exhibit Sake 2024
Sake for the sake competition. It's clear and drinkable like water without any stickiness. It has a slight spiciness in the aftertaste.
Koshino Shiragane Daiginjo Vintage2014
Aged 10 years for a sake show. Abeno Harukas brought it because it is 10 years old. The color does not change much. It has a sense of maturity, but it tastes clean and full of flavor.
Lightly sweetened, fragrant sake
Fluffy sweetness
Koshi-tanrei's gentle aroma and beautiful sweetness. Not much acidity and astringency.
The sharpness of the aftertaste is normal.
A cup that lets you feel the deliciousness and sweetness of Koshi-tanrei.

This is also my first visit to Nakagawa Sake Brewery!
This may be the first time I've even heard of Echino Hakugan 🤔.
We drank
Koshinohakugan Kuromatsu
Mild but tasty and delicious!
I think it's either a regular sake or a honjozo, but it was delicious 😋.
Junmai
It's like adding lemon and citrus to Kuromatsu.
Koshino Heki Junmai Ginjo
Hmmm, subtle...
Koshinohiragane Junmai Daiginjo Hiyoroshi, unfiltered, bottle-warmed and fired.
It seems to be a pure sake. Fruity, umami, and delicious.
Junmai Daiginjo Hiyoroshi, unfiltered. I had a hunch it would be good, so I took advantage of the moment when Nemuchi tried to pass it by and drank it 😁.
Koshino Shiragane Daiginjyo Debut Sake 2024
Like clean and delicious water!
Koshinohakugan Daiginjo Vintage 2014
Even Daiginjo tastes good after 10 years.
This time I thought Niigata sake has many good breweries of regular sake and honjozo 🤔.
