Rating 4.3
Rice: Miso Nishiki, Polishing ratio: 60%, Alcohol: 14%, Sake degree: ±0, Acidity: 1.6, Amino acidity: 0.8
This is a Koshizuki brand produced by Nobuyuki Yokota, the master brewer, in pursuit of the sake rice he wants to use and the taste he envisions.
This Junmai Ginjo-shu is made with Miso Nishiki rice. It has a rich sweetness with a light and refreshing sharpness that can only be achieved with low-protein rice. The elegant touch is followed by a sweet and sour fruity taste. It has a clear, fermentation-derived gasiness that can only be achieved with Nakadori.
Niigata City.
It is clear and easy to drink. The aroma is not strong, but it has a nice aroma that passes through the hole when you drink it.
It is easy to match with refreshing tsumami.
Niigata Souvenir Series #2
Echigo-Tsurukame is famous as the pioneer of wine yeast brewing!
It has a caramel-like sweetness, a wine-like acidity, a light alty taste on the nose, and a slight bitterness, and it finishes with a refreshing crispness!
It is different from the wine yeast brewed Hato Masamune and Hououmida... It has a very light aftertaste, yet it has a wine-like astringency.
It seems to have a characteristic or not...it is difficult to evaluate...
I've had a lot of wine yeast brewed sake, so that's how I feel about it, but I think it would be rather shocking if a beginner to sake drank it.
Echigo-Tsurukame's Koshiichi, which I had never heard of before, but when I found out it was Star Wars, I bought it at a liquor store near there on my way home from a client's office 😆.
They had two bottles for sale, Vader (Darth Vader) and A New Hope (Episode 4) and maybe the opposite. I wanted both, but it was tough to carry two bottles home from work, so I went with Vader this time 😬.
(Vader is deep, heavy and majestic, while A New Hope is fresh and crisp.)
It looks like Darth Vader? I'm not sure 🌑.
Pouring it out of the jet black bottle and drinking it, it's surprisingly fresh💦?
A little fruity?
A little sour, a little acidic?
Low alcohol, maybe easy to drink?
On the second day, though, it tastes even better 😋 A little more sweet? Tastes good with just the right amount of acidity 😋.
I thought it would be more like the dark side 👿? I thought it would be more dark side 👿, but I guess it's still more Anakin? (Sorry if you don't know Star Wars)
But still, I want to explore the world of this series a little more 😜.
I was wondering if you have any Darth Vader stuff at home? I looked for one, but all I could find was a cap for the airing place on my bike!
Good evening, Mr. Takashi!
Echigo-Tsurukame, I didn't know they had such a sake 🎵.
I was in Osaka wondering why the bicycle air cap from the many goodies 🤣.
Good evening, ma-ki-😊.
I also found out about Star Wars drinks ☄️ the other day!
My oldest and youngest sons, who are now out of the house, both love Star Wars, so I thought there would be a lot of Vader stuff around, but this was all I could find 🤣.
Hi Takashi 😃
I couldn't imagine Star Wars from Echigo-Tsurukame 😅It would be nice to drink it while remembering the excitement of my boyhood when I saw Episode 4 😌.
