Chiyotsuru Eda (Nama Sake)
Rice variety Tominokou (organically grown in Namekawa)
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 18%.
This is one of the limited edition of 1,100 bottles, which was brought to us in December of the year before last and aged for a year and a half in the refrigerator at home. The last time we aged it for a year, it had a strong hiney aroma and we felt it was a failure. At one and a half years, I didn't feel the twangy aroma at first, but as it got closer to room temperature, the twangy aroma started to appear. I think it would be better to let it age more.
Sakai bring-your-own-office meeting 2025, then (2)
We moved to Sakai-higashi and went to Yayoya, which Uma-san wanted to visit.
The second meeting place, if you look at the photo, it was taken around 6:30 p.m. The first photo taken at the third meeting place was at 8:00 p.m.
I took a cab, but it didn't take that long, and I don't remember staying that long at the 2nd meeting place, but maybe my sense of time is not correct 🤔.
I drank Chiyotsuru.
Chiyotsuru is a sake that cannot be bought in Kansai, so I chose it.
I think it's a refreshingly fruity sake.
It is similar to Katsushikoma, but I personally feel it is sweeter and softer on the palate than Katsushikoma.
I like to drink sake that is usually consumed in unfamiliar places.
I bought this sake when I was in Toyama. I was also struck by the visual 💕.
Namekawa is just passing by 🚙🙇♂️
Thinking of the city near the sea 😌.
Even the honjozo is luxurious with 60% polished rice✨
It's soft on the palate and goes well with all kinds of snacks 😊.
And quite dry ⚡️
I thought it tasted similar to Niigata sake, but it's interesting that it's clearly different from the one from the neighboring Joetsu region 🤔.
Good evening, Jurian.
I like your local sake, honjozo.
I envy you the luxury of making sake with 60% polished rice. The taste of sake is different even in neighboring prefectures such as Niigata and Toyama. It is interesting.
Thank you very much, Maruwa-san.
I felt that Namekawa is closer to Niigata in Toyama Prefecture and this sake was a good approximation, but the Joetsu region adjacent to Toyama Prefecture has many sweet sake even within Niigata, which led me to the above impression 😊.
I bought this on my way home from a business trip.
I thought it would be sweet, but the taste was very refreshing and sharp. I thought it was sweet, but the taste was very refreshing and sharp, so I thought it might be dry. It is a beautiful sake, and I think it is better not to chill it too much. I will try Junmai Ginjo next time as it seems to have a different taste.
This is one of the sake I got from a liquor store in Toyama.
It has a beautiful umami taste, a slight spiciness, and a moderate acidity, and is superbly balanced.
The last day of the holiday weekend was a sake from Toyama Prefecture that I had procured when I was in Kanazawa.
It is not a draft sake, but it is a very tasty food sake 😊.
Easy to drink with a refreshing taste
Slightly dry with little sweetness
It has a nice sharpness and matches well with food. ✨️
It was recommended by the owner, but it was the right choice: ✌️
Just a few of the drinks from last week's trip to Toyama that I have not posted here....
Eden by Chiyotsuru, which may not be a major sake in Tokyo, but is very popular in Toyama and is fought over by many.
It is made from 100% Tominokoso produced in Namekawa and limited to 1,400 bottles. It is limited to 1,400 bottles and has a high alcohol content of 18 degrees.
