ねむち
The 2nd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (11)
Ozeki's booth in Kyoto Prefecture but Niigata Prefecture's Echino Yatsuho booth.
When I asked about it, I was told that it was a subsidiary of the Ozeki Group, renamed Echigo Sake Brewery in 1986 from Hatta Sake Brewery, where it was founded. The president is from Ozeki, but the other brewers are still making the same products, and the scale of the company is about 100 to 1. The difference between Ozeki and the other breweries is that they basically make pure rice or better with rice produced in Niigata Prefecture. I had no idea.
◉Echigo-No-Hachiho Echigo-no Amaguchi
I've had this before. Not too sweet.
Koshinohatoyo Echigo-no-Azumaki
Another sake I've had before, but this time with a Sake Brix of +5, a refreshingly dry sweetness. Sake meter value +5.
◉Koshinohatoyo Junmai Ginjo
Slightly acidic from the umami. The aroma is subtle on the nose.
Daiginjo
The first impression is that there is a slight astringency, but then it becomes milder. The umami is a bit more than that.
Ozeki Osaka-ya
A 100% Yamadanishiki sake brewed by hand in small tanks. The taste is synonymous with good sake, with a mild umami that is well balanced.
