This fruity sake is made with Echigohime strawberries grown in Niigata Prefecture.
The sweet and sour aroma and lush fruitiness of strawberries fill the mouth with a fresh and pure flavor that only unfiltered, unpasteurized sake can provide.
With an alcohol content of only 14%, this sake is light and easy to enjoy like a dessert.
Ajiwai Melon and Koshihikari rice produced in Ooamishirasato, Chiba Prefecture, are used to fuse the melon aroma with the flavor of hops.
It has a refreshing melon aroma and hop flavor, and is slightly sweet on the palate, accented with a hint of bitterness.
It is a "Craft SAKE" with a crafty feel, and is characterized by its slightly cloudy quality, which is achieved by tank pressing.
For my sixth and final drink, I decided to try craft sake: ❗️
It's not often you get a chance to drink it!
This is made by brewing regular sake.
They brew sake normally, add hops at the end, and press it.
I was told that you either love it or hate it!
What is it like?
Alcohol 15 degrees Celsius
Brown in color, a bit like beer?
When I drank it, I found
Oh, this is an inexperienced taste 😳.
The hop aroma comes to the forefront.
Sake flavor is not so strong.
But it's interesting and this is it: ❗️
I fully enjoyed the dawn of the younger generation 😉.
Purchased at Niigata Sake-no-jin
This was the last sake I purchased at the 2025 Niigata Sake Festival...or rather, I felt I had kept it too long, so I opened the bottle with a full bottle 🍶.
I had done my homework before entering the Niigata Sake Festival, and the only sake I had my eye on during my homework was this one 💁 I love Shozora no Hoppe, but this is a slightly sparkling version that is only available at the Sake Festival 🫧 It's just so delicious, of course it is!
It was a satisfaction-based paid tasting that day as well, so meh, it's so good! I said "It's so good!" three times and ended up spending 500 yen x 3 and buying a bottle 🍶.
I immediately opened the bottle 🍶 and it was delicious 😋.
The aroma and taste match the refreshing taste of hops, and combined with the easy drinking of the fizzy feeling, it is very delicious 🤤 The flavor of hops and juicy, slightly dry grapes? The flavor is like a combination of hops and juicy, slightly dry grapes🤔Delicious!
I hope to see you again somewhere in the future 😄Thanks for the treat!
This is the last sake I bought at Niigata Sake no Jin 🍶.
I hope to see you again next year 🤲.
Here is my favorite sake brewed by LAGOON BREWERY. This fresh craft saké has a strong tomato and basil flavor. You can have it as a top clear saké at first, and then mix it well and have it as a dobrok. Twice as delicious😋.
