WOM
The Nagaoka Sake Festival, No. 5. It's getting more and more suspicious. This is Sekihara Sake Brewery, another first for us. It is a long-established brewery founded in the Kyoho era in Edo, and while it used to be a major manufacturer in China, it insists on cold brewing and the Echigo Toji technique. I thought Kubota and Hakkaisan were Niigata sake, but there is no difference.
It has a firm, ricey flavor, as one would expect from the Nagaoka domain, which is a rice-producing region. The gentle ginjo aroma also shines.
