Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store
Niigata Food and Sake Festival (5)
Booth of Nakagawa Shuzo and Echino Hakugan.
So we were introduced by Echigo Bijin and tasted while the world's best sake taster explained the tasting.
Kuromatsu Normal Sake
It is well-balanced, with no alcohol taste, and despite being light and dry, it has a nice umami taste, and a bit of cream cheese-like creaminess. The quality of the sake is revealed when it is heated up to 50 degrees Celsius.
◉Hiyaoroshi Ginjo
Today's recommendation. It is a ginjo of Koshitanrei. The aroma is nice, but the best part is that the texture on the palate is mellow and elegant, with a smooth entry and the thickness of the rice coming out in a flash. It is very refined.
I was really impressed with the way he described the taste and the way he conveyed it.
The knowledgeable explanations of the Omachi Jundai from Niigata Prefecture and the Shinnosuke Jungin, not to mention the taste, were very fulfilling, as he talked about the brewery and sake rice.
I was so absorbed in the conversation that I did not take any pictures. I took only one photo, which I will upload later.
I went home satisfied with my visit.
