Brubeck
We tasted sake from Nagaoka in Echigo.
This sake is made by Kusumi Shuzo, whose revival of the Kame no O sake rice became the model for the manga "Natsuko no Sake".
It has a light and refreshing taste like Niigata, with just the right amount of umami.
It's a beautiful sake with an authentic, orthodox style reminiscent of a standard Japanese calligraphy brush.
While I was drinking it, I felt like reading "Natsuko's Sake" again.
