At the sake bar at the Niigata Food and Sake Festival in Harukas.
We started with the first one from the right, Kashiwa Dew Nigori Sake.
It is very sweet and has a low alcohol content of 8 degrees.
The sake level is -60 degrees, so even beginners will like this one. 🙆♂️
On a hot summer day, a sake brewer was at THE NIIGATA (Niigata Information Center / Products Hall) in Ginza. I tasted the sake, liked it instantly, and bought it.
Today, I opened the bottle!
I learned the term "rich and dry" with this sake. It has a nice aroma that lingers in your mouth after drinking and makes you want to drink it again.
The label is cool and nice too!
JUN-san Good evening. When I was a freshman in college (45 years ago), heated sake that everyone else could no longer drink was lined up in front of me at a party. I did not like sake at that time. But I found a good sake at a liquor store that appeared in the local edition of the newspaper!
AAJI, thank you for sharing your wonderful memories 😊The line of heated sake left by everyone at the party...you must be pretty strong (lol)...it's wonderful to meet good sake at a local liquor store.
Ponshukan Nagaoka Station Store drinking groupie 8th cup.
I wanted to try a strong dry sake, so I chose Kashiwa Dew.
I thought it would be okay because I am used to drinking Sanzenmori, but I didn't feel it was that spicy despite its high alcohol content.
It did have a cheese-like sourness, but it was not strong.
I would have understood if I had drunk it first.
I still have some more sake to drink, so I bought some coins.
Slightly yellowish and clear with fine effervescence. There are aromas of honeysuckle, topknot, and pear. The attack is rather strong, with gentle acidity, rich sweetness, and a rather long finish.
Souvenirs of Niigata Nagaoka Fireworks (for myself)...
Sake from Nagaoka City.
I had never drunk it before, so I bought it...
Personally, I found the taste not so good.
It was not like Junmai (pure rice) sake... it had a little bit of a strong taste.
