Purchased in-store at Hanshin Department Store
When I asked what kind of sake tastes best when heated, I was told that junmai-shu is recommended.
When I had it warmed up, my mouth was filled with the delicious taste of rice!
I prefer a more robust sake like this to a light sake!
I bought it as a Niigata souvenir for myself, but I didn't drink enough in town, so I opened it in the car on the way home.
It is a delicious sake with a nice aroma of rice, and I am sure it would have been delicious heated up.
I came across this sake on my way back from skiing in Niigata🍶.
The moment I drank it, I could feel the rice. It was my favorite sake. I will go back to Pon Shukan!
The second bottle was a local sake from Itoigawa that I purchased at the Niigata Sake no Jin event in Abeno.
It was a classic sake with a slight mild rice flavor 🍶.
It goes well with seafood. 🙆♂️

Yukitsuru] booth.
Yoichi Tahara, the fifth generation head of the family, assumed the position of representative director at the age of 60, but two years later the head brewer passed away suddenly. Since then, he has taken on the role of toji himself.

The aroma is sweet. The sweet aroma, moderate sweetness, and nuttiness and spiciness spread from the sweetness. A little spicy.
Yukitsuru Junmai Ginjo
The aroma is alcoholic. It has a clear, yet mineral mouthfeel with a bitter aftertaste.
Perhaps because Yukitsuru is made from natural spring water, the impression of minerality remains the same.
I drank it twice before at a tasting event and one of those times was with the brewer, so he told me a lot of stories about how difficult it is to make the same flavor every time, or how he once made one for an overseas market but the intermediary company didn't work out.
This time he didn't talk much😅.

I've had Yukitsuru a few times, though I've only seen it at department store tasting sales.
I drank
Yukitsuru Junmai Ginjo Fukuro Shibori-Non-filtered Nama-genshu
It feels spicier than the last time I drank it.
I remember it was gassy when it was freshly opened
Yukitsuru Junmai Ginjo
A little peculiar, but sweeter than the raw sake.
The brewer was too taciturn and silent the whole time 😅.
I wonder if it's like this at other department store tasting sales?
I heard some people from other breweries said that they were not happy with the booth allocation and were sulking?
Even though there were only a few people, it was a deserted section.
You can't sell anything if it's like that, you know?
Good evening, Pon-chan.
According to Nemuchi-san's information, the president of the company? I thought it was a salesman. I thought 🤔I don't think it would be a salesman 😅.
Drink it cold 🍶.
Sweet and delicious 😋.
It's a young, green banana🍌.
Two days after opening 🍶.
A little spiciness is showing up and becoming my favorite 🤤.
And then I drank it all 😅.
I think there are a lot of sweet sake when I go to Joetsu area in Niigata prefecture ☺️
