The seventh sake of the Olas Sake-no-jin is Echi-no-Homare's "90 Pink". I tasted this brand last year, but it was not sold locally, so I went to a liquor store in Kamo City to buy it.
I thought it was good last year, too, but it is not as refined and complex as Niimasa or Kamonishiki, and I love its wild taste but full freshness and rich aroma. I could clearly feel the maker's intention of not cutting down the rice polishing ratio to 90% (probably).
By the way, the local price was 1,400 yen. I guess it is because of the 90% rice polishing ratio, but still, it is too cheap.
Hi madamarr 😃
I'm so glad you went out of your way to buy a bottle of this memorable sake 🤗I'd really appreciate a good sake for 1400 yen 😊I'll keep that in mind if I ever go to Niigata!
Koshi no Homare's 90 series.
100% Koshiibuki rice is used,
Polishing ratio 90
Fruity aroma, slightly effervescent mouthfeel. It has a crisp aftertaste. Very tasty.
Although the rice polishing ratio is 90%, the color is clean and the wine is easier to drink than one might expect.
This type of polishing can produce a bitter taste, but this one is very tasty because the delicious flavor of the rice can be strongly felt.
Thanks for your time. Here it is tonight. Classy aroma, discreet sweetness, fresh mouthfeel. It is delicious. I can drink it easily.

I would definitely buy it again!
The label is cute.
A gem I got at Kanazawa-ya in Uonuma. Slightly carbonated and watery. A little spicy. Maybe because it has 16% alcohol. The rice is Koshigaraku? I wonder if it is made from cold-weather rice. The taste is similar to that of "Kamizen Nyosui". In other words, it is a juice. It has a short aftertaste and can be drunk smoothly like water.
Postscript. A day after opening the bottle, it mellows out and has a bitter and umami taste. This is what I like about nama-zake!
A refreshing drink.
Light and fresh flavor with a refreshing acidity.
The sweetness is moderate and well balanced.
There is a sense of sharpness.
Taste 3.5/5
13 degrees Celsius in the original bottle.
Sweet apple-like aroma. Light acidity. Plump with a sense of rice.
Light bitterness.
A well-made sake that is common these days.
It has been a while. I just returned from Mexico.
Purchased at "FURUMAI" in Atre, Kawasaki station. I was attracted by the cute bottle design and bought it immediately (I think I was the last one to say "Buy it!" I think I was told to buy it).
I chose the sweet one because I have recently been into cloudy, super sweet sake (like Sanuki Kuraudai), but it was not super sweet, but really just the right sweetness. It's not super sweet, but just the right amount of sweetness. It's also fruity and goes with everything. I want to drink it again!
Slight green apple aroma. The bubbles are quite noticeable. The taste is fruity and refreshing, like green apples, with a light aftertaste unique to sake. Seems to be a favorite among women.
