A person whose personnel transfer was decided at a drinking party in March gave me this sake as a thank-you for the other day.
He said it was from the brewery that makes Natsuko sake.
I am sorry. I had never had much luck with Niigata sake, so I had heard of it but had never tried it.
This sake has an unusual and addictive aftertaste. I had an image of Niigata sake as being clean and unrefined, but I think this is a bad one that people who are into it will get hooked on 😆.
The current brewer, Kenkazu Kusu, the seventh generation of the brewery's founder, personally brewed this sake, imagining it to be a sake like a flower blooming in the field. The sake is said to have a good balance of gently fragrant ginjo aroma, fresh and soft acidity, and sweetness.
First time drinking Niigata sake
It's a bit of a classic, but it's not too strong and not too bad.
I think it's the type of food sake that enhances the flavor with food.
