Enjoying delicious sake with the brewery 2025⑥.
Kubota's booth.
Asahi Shuzo, a well-known and legitimate sake brewery.
Kubota Yukimine Black
The label is black and the letters are also black, so it is very difficult to take a picture of it. A collaboration with Snow Peaks. The label is black with black lettering, which makes it very difficult to take pictures of. It has a slight sweetness and a refreshing, slightly bitter aftertaste. This was delicious.
Kubota Manju
A sweet fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness. Not too much sweetness. Very beautiful, elegant and well-balanced.
Kubota Junmai Daiginjo
The most flamboyant and gorgeous aroma. The sweetness and richness are beautifully balanced with a clean aftertaste. It has a beautiful sweetness and richness, and a clean aftertaste. It is simply delicious. It is made from the same rice as Manju.
When we talked about the rice, he said that 60% of the rice is produced by contract farmers, and the rest is produced in their own fields, so they are able to secure the rice. However, some of the farmers who make Gohyakumangoku are switching to rice.
I was surprised to learn that the rice is expensive, but delicious.
When I had just started drinking sake,
I bought a bottle of sake as a souvenir.
It has been a long time since I had it, but it is still a gorgeous, easy-drinking sake, and even if you don't normally drink sake, you can enjoy it.

Today was the middle day of a three-day weekend and a Buddhist memorial service.
I haven't seen my relatives in a long time. I have a lot of relatives. Some of them have grown up, some are born, some are dead, some are married, some are divorced. It was interesting to see them because we don't meet them unless we have such an opportunity. Such connections are important. It's sad that I didn't drink any alcohol because of the car.
On such a day, I had a glass of Kubota Senju!
The mild aroma.
Smooth and mild on the tongue,
Sweet, with mild acidity.
Soft and rich umami,
Clear and crisp, light and dry.
It is delicious! As expected, it has a sense of stability.
Now, I am preparing for the Niigata Sake Kin no Tatsujin test,
It seems that the first alcoholic beverage of the day makes you feel strong, so it's good to take a sip before you start the sake tasting. Is this true?
If so, I think this is the right sake to drink.
It is said that you should not drink water, but I am not sure. I wonder...it might bring back the taste of the previous drink.

We received this bottle from a person in Niigata.
It's a bottle, so I've been sipping it.
Niigata also has delicious sake.
It's nice 😊.
