Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (4)
This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake.
Echigo Toji Honjozo
This sake was recommended by bouken, Nemuchi, and Sakélan advisors at the Niigata Sake Festival held at Abeno Harukas.
It was recommended by all three as the No. 1 sake that I would drink at the event, so I went back to Abeno Harukas on the last day 🍶💨.
The color is almost crystal.
The top aroma is milky with a hint of caramel.
The mouthfeel is light and smooth.
The taste is a nostalgic sweetness and umami like fine milk caramel that flows gently and smoothly.
When heated, the milk caramel flavor increases and the taste is refreshing.
It has a classic flavor,
It is a delicious sake with a light, milky sweetness and umami that is easy to drink, with a smoothness that reminds one of the softness of Niigata's melted snow water.
After all, this is the kind of sake that you want to drink at the end of the day!
The selection ability of the three heavyweight members of the group is superb 😊.
The Niigata Sake Fair is still going on.

Hello Dr. Peco ☀☀
The moment I took it I knew this was the only thing I could think of 🤣.
I'm glad you liked it 😌.

ひるぺこ
Thank you, bouken! I'm sure this is the sake that Hirupeko will bring back to you! I'll dash if you say so 💨It's legendary to be able to drink that much and feel the taste of the alcohol properly 😆👍.

Hi Hirupeko 😃I see you went to buy it again 😳 Oh I thought for sure you would like this one, but I always buy something different from what I thought you would like, so I thought I was missing something 🤣I'm glad you like it 😁.

Good evening, Nemu-chan. I would like to thank the three of you who answered my outlandish quiz in earnest 🙏 The sake was smooth and tasted better than the lumpy image of honjozo 😊.

Purchased at Niigata Sake no Jin OSAKA
It looks like it's only sold 3㌥ all year round, but I couldn't find it on the website💦.
When I tasted it, I got the impression it was bitter, but it tasted quite sweet. Maybe because it's not on its own, but during a meal?
I got the impression that it was a little strong on alcohol. But my overall impression is that it's easy to drink.
I have a much better impression when drinking it at home than when tasting it 😍.
I think it will show its full potential during a meal 😋.
The mild syrupy sweetness is addictive!

じゅんさん
We opened a bottle of this Niigata sake.
It is gorgeous and elegant, I would say, but in this day of various drinks, it lacks punch and has a thin image.
With truffle rice balls to finish.
Alcohol content 14%.

Jungin
Mellow flavor, firm taste.
There was a slot for a category, so I served it and it won a gold medal in the premium heated sake category, but the brewer said it was better to drink it as is.
We met up with Mr. Sakeran for the second time.
Yukikage.
It's for export, refreshing, and totally different type. Less traditional.
Echigo Toji Shigome No. 18 Besshiki Special Junmai Sake
It has a firm, full, orthodox flavor.
The same sake cannot be entered in the National Heated Sake Contest, and to win four different awards for different brands is impressive.
We spent the longest time talking with the brewer, who gave us his business card and told us that his hobby is drinking iron.
We talked a lot and he said that he was struggling with how to convey these qualities of sake as delicious.
He said that brewers in Niigata have study groups with other breweries and are very close, but the salesmen are rivals to each other 😁.
I became a fan not only because of the personality of the brewer, but also because of the traditional taste, which is so delicious.
I am good friends with Haretoke in Osaka, so next time I go there, I will have to check it out.

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
Was it the special honjozo that you drank heated on your second visit?

bouken, good evening 🌛The warmed sake was a special honjozo 🍶.

Good evening, Nemuchi 😃.
It's one of the best parts of the event to hear the brewer's true feelings about the brewery ☺️ thanks to Nemucci's knowledge and talk skills 😁.
I once bought a special Honjozo from Haretoke and it was indeed delicious 😊.

Hi Aladdin, Hello ☀☀ talking with the brewer and toji is always interesting and sometimes more impressive than the taste of the sake 🤣 this one is neither modern nor sweet and tasty, but I was impressed by how "delicious" it is 😊.

Niigata Sake-no-jin OSAKA⑧-1
Echigo Toji] booth.
The only place that brought a sake heater, the most standard Honjozo was already sold out.
The Honjozo won a gold medal in the heated sake contest for five consecutive years, including one of the highest gold medals. The brewery has also won gold medals in four other categories.
Echigo Toji Special Honjozo
Traditional flavor, soft, round, full, straight, and delicious 😋 This type of flavor is the standard.
Echigo Toji Honjozo Nama Sake
Chocolatey, bitter, sweet, and delicious. I think they say this is a year-round product, even though it is a nama-shu. I also heard that for one month in December, there is a local limited-edition freshly pressed Honjozo Nama-zake, which I would like to try.
Echigo Toji Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi
The alcohol content is around 17-18 degrees. He said it's still young, not mature enough, mischievous and somewhat fresh, and he wants it to be rounded out. It's like Gian from Doraemon.
Muramatsu.
Aroma: A ginjo-shu without showiness. Well-balanced and easy to drink. Also won in the premium lukewarm category. The brewer said that it does not need to be heated.
We talked and drank a lot, so I'll continue...

Niigata Sake-no-jin OSAKA⑤ (Japanese only)
Kinshi-Haii Sake Brewery was the only one who brought a sake heater among the participating breweries.
We drank
Special Honjozo
Easy to drink with no unpleasant parts 😋.
I think I had it heated the second time!
Honjozo Nama Sake
It is said to be a raw version of the sold-out Honjozo.
Fresh, slightly bitter and chocolatey 😋.
Junmai Ginjo Hiyoroshi
More beautiful and less aged than expected. Surprisingly easy to drink!
The brewer said the sake was still young.
Muramatsu Ginjo
Taste perfect with food
Jungin
Slightly fruity
Second time
The second time, Mr. Sakeran was with us.
Yukikage Special Junmai
Clear, clean and tasty!
Echigo Toji Brewing Company No. 18 Special Junmai
It has a more classic feel than Yukikage, which is nice in contrast.
The second time I was allowed to drink the honjozo or special honjozo warmed up 😋.
I think I spent the longest time there because he talked so much 🤔.
The business card he gave me was the president of the company 😳.

Found this at Yodobashi.
Echigo Toji is sold at Haretoke, but I had the impression that it was only classic sake, so I passed on it, but this one has a modern-looking label, so I bought it!
Polishing ratio 48%, Gohyakumangoku
I imagined it to be light and dry, but it is a bit richer than I expected and has a good amount of sweetness. The latter half of the bottle has an impression of converging with spiciness.
