kiko
Takachiyo, which I bought when I went skiing to Yuzawacho as I do every year. This one is an ogara-mi type, limited to Niigata Prefecture.
It has a deliciously sweet, yet slightly effervescent taste with a hint of rice flavor. I always get lost in the sake section at Echigo-Yuzawa station, but this one was right up my alley, with just the right amount of sweetness and dryness.
