Last week I went to the Nagaoka Sake Festival for the first time in a while.
I attended simply because the novelty boar cups had edamame on them and they were cute.
The last time I was there was in front of Corona, and the structure of the event had changed a lot, making it easier to spend time there.
In addition to the tasting, there were also tastings of sake rice (Gohyakumangoku and Ipponshime), which was fun! You can't tell the difference when you eat rice!
I was planning to taste the sake at Aogiri afterwards rather than at the sake camp.
Aogiri is based on Spanish cuisine, but is famous for its ramen (chaos).
Looking at the menu, the sake lineup is wonderful.
I started with my first Toyama sake!
I've seen this brand around a bit, but have never had the chance to try it.
It has acidity, but also has the flavor of rice and minerality. Yet, the sweetness is moderate, and the finish is good. It is a well-balanced sake with umami at its core.
The restaurant seems to focus on sake, and there was a menu item that tickled the fancy of sake enthusiasts: corn paella made with Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone).
Of course, it was delicious.
I'm still going to drink more!

Thank you for your comments!
I'm sorry for the amount of information (lol), but I'm glad to be able to update the prefectures after a long time 🍶I think the paella from Gohyakumangoku tastes better than rice rice rice, if I don't mind...? (LOL).
