My young wife wanted to visit Yoshinogawa, so we moved to do as my wife, a stranger, asked.
The Yoshinogawa booth.
◉Minamo Sousai Junmai (Unfiltered Nama sake).
The taste is light and refreshing, but there is a lingering tingle in the aftertaste.
My young wife also found this one spicy.
◉Awasetsu Premium from the Sake Brewery
The brewer recommended this 8% low alcohol sparkling sake, which is like champagne. It's like champagne. It's not second fermentation in the bottle, but rather the fermentation process takes place in the tank and the wine is bottled.
◉Newly brewed sake junmai
The flavor is full, with a firm acidity derived from the rice.
Gokujo Yoshinogawa Ginjo
A clear and refreshing sake, with a hint of astringency at the end.
Gokujo Yoshinogawa Junmai Ginjo
A clean and refreshing sake with a bitter and astringent aftertaste.
◉Gokujo Yoshinogawa Tokubetsu Junmai
Mild flavor, good for warming.
A young wife (someone else's wife) tasting more and more sake while pushing a stroller, looking for the sake of her choice. I think it's right.
I leave my wife alone for a while and listen to the brewer's talk. He told me that the number of foreign customers is increasing and that they are now mainly making No. 4 bottles, and that production is not going up. He said that the number of breweries in Niigata is also decreasing due to lack of successors, and that some breweries are completely unknown to him because of foreign investment.
A collaboration sake between Naniwaya, the originator of Kaki-no-tane and Yoshinogawa Sake Brewery!
The taste is in perfect harmony with the sweetness and spiciness of the kaki no tane.

Dry, weak aroma (straw), weak attack, crisp, sharp, no depth, short umami aftertaste, light bitterness, simple, not boring but not deep either, reasonable price, refreshing
Sake brewery with 470 years of history
Stewed royal fern with herring.
For me, it is a local delicacy, a feast of the Echigo mountains, and the inclusion of the herring adds a unique richness to the dish that can only be described as "delicious.
Nagaoka Setagaya's Yoshinogawa selected dry sake.
It does not fall apart even when heated hot, and warms up wonderfully.
I heard that Mr. Ichiro came to Nagaoka yesterday and today to coach the baseball team of Chuetsu High School. ⚾️
The Yukuuzan baseball stadium in Nagaoka City is where Ichiro hit his first official home run from Nomo in his second year as a professional.
Hiraccio-san Herring stewed with royal fern looks delicious. I think local sake should be served with local cuisine! And I saw on the news that Ichiro-san visited Chuetsu High School. He came to our public school and gave us a lot of advice. Thank you very much!
Good morning, Sashu 😊.
Somehow I want to match it with local sake and it comes together nicely.
Ichiro-san will be coaching the players of the allied team with us this time, and I think it will be a tremendous experience.
After finishing the 8th kind of drink and leaving the restaurant, I ended up stopping by a ramen store.
There, I drank this!
As with all nama-shu, this one has a pleasant freshness and the unique aroma of nama-shu. I drank a lot that day.
Actually, I was given a tour of the Imadaiji Sake Brewery that day, but I did not drink any sake from the Imadaiji Sake Brewery. I'm buying it, so I'll report on it later.
I had an image of Yoshinogawa as being refreshing, but this one had a different image, with a strong umami flavor and a smooth mouthfeel.
I like hiyaoroshi.
Cheap and delicious Yoshinogawa~!
But this new sake is already watery. This is the first time I've ever had such a watery feeling. It was a surprise and a surprise to me! Maybe it should have been a little tastier...
