新舘幸樹
We were about to run out of sake, so it was time to go to the liquor store. I went to the liquor store and bought one more bottle of sake. So here it is.
I think this is the first time to buy sake from this brewery. The green label was unusual for this time of year, and the sake was from Niigata, so it was a challenge.
When I poured it, it was yellow. I thought it was yellow again.
There is not much aroma. However, when I put it in my mouth, I could smell the aroma of melon. However, it is not the rich aroma of a fully ripe melon, but rather a slightly young melon. Takachiyo is famous for this type, but the taste is a little different.
It has a melon aroma, but when you drink it, the pungency comes later than expected. Then there is bitterness.
Today I paired it with yakitori (grilled chicken), and it was quite good. It may not go well with light food.
I will buy it again when I feel like it. Considering the regional characteristics, it may be an interesting sake.
