It is a delicious sake with a refreshing taste and a hint of rice. It is right in the middle of Niigata's sake. This is also one of a set of 6 bottles given to me by a relative in Nagaoka.
This is my first time drinking Sotenbo Jange (Snake Escape).
It is named after the local Jange waterfall.
It is a dry oriogarami that tastes great with seared sashimi of squid.
I like its fresh texture.

I ran out of sake on a 2-week business trip to Asia, so I had this one at a company reception the day after I returned to Japan without worrying about my surroundings. It was great with fish.
Postscript
I ordered one cup of sake, but I was so impressed with the store's behavior that they overflowed the glass and even filled it up with more sake.
The slight sweetness and sourness, followed by a strong alcoholic aroma, and then a tingling sensation that wears off.
That's all! It is a simple taste.
As the name suggests, this is a very dry wine, but I was surprised at the low alcohol content other than 16.5 degrees.
I wouldn't be surprised if it tastes like 20 degrees... . LOL!
