Flagship sake of Yoshinogawa, one of the biggest companies in Niigata🚩. Thankfully, it was a gift. It's a premium sake 😅. I've had it a few times, but this is the first time I'm facing it at home 🙇‍♂️ It comes in a full paulownia box with a product number (1227!). It comes in a paulownia wood box with the product number (No. 1227!) and a note on the front that it was named by Onishi Ryokei, the former head priest of Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto 📃. The label is also inscribed with the calligraphy of Wajo. It has an extraordinary atmosphere, but the taste is also recognizable as a high quality sake at first sip ✨It is a Junmai Daiginjo made from 100% Koshidanrei. It has a refined ginjo aroma without being intrusive, and flows as smoothly and cleanly as water without any cloying flavors. 〰︎ And this is undeniably a food sake. It is a perfect accompaniment to any meal 🥢, but it also goes well with a wide range of local foods 😋. Yes, I thought the quality of this sake was like a high level hybrid of sophistication and indigeneity. Hmmm...isn't that exactly what Koshitanrei is, with Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku as parents! 😮 Maybe that is the borderline of Koshitanrei that makes me feel that way 🏁. I think this sake is one of the pinnacle of Niigata sake made with rice produced in the prefecture 🤔.

Yoshinogawa has such a fine sake. ❗️ It is the ultimate in Koshitanrei, isn't it?

Good morning, Mr. Hiraccio. ☀️ The visual is luxurious, but the taste is modest at first glance. The taste is modest at first glance, but I have the impression that it is of a high quality that cannot be hidden. I feel it is an Echigo-Tsumari sake 😊.
