Sake received as a year-end gift.
Crystal silver color.
Cooked rice, Kamishinko, chervil, soy sauce, yogurt.
Strong attack. Slightly sweet but dry. It has a smooth acidity and leaves a relatively strong bitter and salty aftertaste with mild fruit flavors like Japanese pear in the aftertaste.
This sake has a classic impression.
SAKEPOST]
It has a moderate ginjo aroma and a rich flavor 🍶 It has a slightly dry throat but a clean finish that does not linger. It is a sake with a unique flavor.
This sake on the left in the photo was also purchased in the Joetsu area.
As you can see from the refill, this sake has a little sweetness that we like, a gorgeous aroma, a deep richness, and a clean taste with a lingering aftertaste.
Since it is not available in our hometown, we would like to return to your hometown and pay tax again.
At the Joetsu Cuisine restaurant.
Crystal silver hue.
Aroma of Japanese pear, loquat, melon, and other gentle fruits, whey, and joshin powder.
The mouthfeel has the same gentle image as the aroma, with a hint of sweetness, but also a refreshing impression, as is typical of Joetsu sake. The acidity is smooth, with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
It is a sake that gives the impression of being gentle all the way through.
Crystal silver hue.
Impression of grapefruit, cooked rice, whey, cedar barrels, and a hint of mitarashi dumplings.
Attack is slightly strong. Dry, smooth acidity, relatively strong bitterness.
The taste is clean and typical of Ihyakumangoku, but the bitterness is strong and thick, making it a good match for sweeter seasoned meals.
A cup of sake by the station with a view of the railroad tracks
Somehow today has become a cup of sake day!
This Nohtaka also goes down your throat easily!
It goes well with the dashi broth of the soba noodles!
I can drink as many cups of Niigata sake as I want!
Tomorrow is not good!
The soba was a little different, with mozuku seaweed in it!
Soba with soup stock + mozuku seaweed + sake, and a freight train!
I hope this kind of scenery will remain in the future!
Today is the day of the Niigata Sake Gold Master, the practical test! It's finally here!
I got myself in shape in the morning, and based on my previous reflections, I have been concentrating on my hopes!
It's been a while since I've practiced sake tasting with room temperature, fire-brewed sake, so it's been a while since I've had any draft sake!
Brilliantly fruity acidity with a firm rice aroma,
It has a gorgeous fruity acidity with a firm rice aroma and a silky smooth mouthfeel.
The acidity is very strong and heavy,
The mellow, rich flavor of nama-shu,
The fresh bitterness lingers gently in the aftertaste.
It is delicious and thick!
Take notes as you have practiced,
Do not drink water immediately before or during the tasting,
Lick a little sake beforehand...
I heard that the first alcoholic drink of the day makes you feel stronger. I chose Kubota, which I am used to drinking.
The test, I think I did well! Last time I had no idea... but this time I know (I think) how to distribute the time! I'm looking forward to the results.
I wonder what kind of sake it was!
This weekend is the Echigo Kenshin SAKE Festival! This sake was a hometown tax return gift from Joetsu City, which I ordered together with the ticket!

Ponshukan Nagaoka Eki restaurant, the 5th drink of the drinking groupie (beginning to get drunk).
This is Nohtaka, which ranked 4th in Ponshu-kan last month.
It has acidity, but you can feel the sweetness of the rice.
I also want to try Junmai Ginjo.
Yesterday's room drinking.
Bought snacks at Harashin in Kasuga-yama.
Had suruten for the third time that day.
Junmai (pure rice) that I never get tired of drinking.
