Junmai Ginjo using only Gohyakumangoku.
It is mellow and I like the taste.
It seems that each Otokoyama in the whole country is completely different.
I visited the brewery in spring.
It is located in Itoigawa, Niigata. It is located in Nechidani, a small valley in the mountains that becomes a heavy snowfall area in winter. It is a wonderful brewery with authentic wooden construction by a local master builder using local wood, stone and soil, and traditional techniques without using nails. We visited the sake brewing exhibition, the tasting room with tatami mats (said to be popular with overseas visitors), and the rice paddies grown by the brewery right in front of the brewery.
To tell the truth, I didn't know about this place at all, but I'm glad I went there. The Domaine style of sake brewing that values the terroir of the Nechigaya region shows a passionate desire to preserve the beautiful landscape of terraced rice paddies in the valley for future generations. I wish more people knew about this place.
We received rice from the rice paddies as a souvenir.
Next time, I want to drink Nechi, which is only available at special dealers.
