As we head into the busy year-end season, it is important to refresh ourselves in the intervals between events, so tonight we had another glass of wine. I opened a bottle of "Kitayuki Junmai Ginjo" from Sado Island, Niigata, which I was told about at an izakaya I often visit! It has a sweet aroma from the moment it is poured, and when you take it into your mouth, the sweet and umami flavors quickly run out, leaving you with a gentle, smooth, and clear image of the after-flavor! Whether it is the water or the brewing method, I am addicted to this clear aftertaste! With only one month left in this year, I'm getting drunk and thinking that it's time to narrow down the bottle of 2022 that I will choose 🍶.

If I sleep for a day today, it will be Friday... so I opened the bottle in good spirits. The aroma is fruity with no hint of alcohol. It has a softness that is typical of nama-shu. When you take a sip.... Hmm, it's sweet. It has a solid taste that doesn't betray your expectations. It's a taste I like. However, there is an alcohol feeling on the throat. It's not too much to worry about. I'd like to try the other Hokusetsu.

Kitayuki after a long time. I had the impression that it was refreshing, but this has a juicy flavor that is typical of nama-gara sake and is delicious.

For today's beverage of the day, we opened this bottle 💁. It's Kitayuki Junmai Ginjo Summer Limited Sake from Niigata Prefecture. It tastes like this, this, this! I used to get it as a souvenir from my colleagues back home and drink it. ☺️ It's sour and sharp, perfect for summer: ☀️ Oh yeah, the plum wine was really good too 😋. #Hokusetsu #Hokusetsu Sake Brewery

When I went back to Shinshin, I bought it at Ponshukan in Nagaoka station. On weekends, some liquor store sells it over-the-counter, so I always buy a bottle of that. This time it was Hokusetsu from Sado! I bought it with the name... Onikoroshi... It's good to drink it cold. It's a very strong sake, even when chilled. It is a bad sake for those who like the taste of sake.

After work today, we drank a cup of sake at home 🍶. It was my first time to drink Hokusetsu, and it was a very refreshing and dry sake with a hint of sweetness typical of Niigata, and it went down very smoothly.
