On a recent trip to Niigata, I visited the famous Niigata restaurant "Brothers Sushi. The restaurant is particular about Niigata sake, and when I asked for sake, I was served only Niigata sake.
The third was Musho. The third was Mousou, a sake brewery in Murakami City. I had never heard of this brewery. I also heard about a sake rice called "Koshitanrei" for the first time. It seems to be a sake rice developed in Niigata. If you are going to drink in Niigata, it would be nice to have something like this 🎵.
It is said to be dry, but the impression is fresh, juicy, and medium-high in flavor.
It has a nice, fresh, juicy, medium-fine mouthfeel, with a light bubbly aftertaste that makes it easy to pair with other wines.
Delicious!
