Niigata sake today because Tochioage was on sale at the supermarket I often go to.
The only Niigata sake that is sold at a local liquor store is this one, Yukinuchubai's "Normal Sake". My definition of sake is a sake with added sugar. To be honest, I don't like to drink it, but Yukinakubai is an exception. Honjozo is good, but for me personally, this is the best sake. Alcoholic sake is often criticized for its strong alcoholic smell, but I think the smell of alcohol is what makes this sake so good.
The flavor of soybeans from Tochio-age (fried horse mackerel) and the flavor of big slices of aji (horse mackerel).
The umami of horse mackerel cut into large pieces and the umami of soy sauce.
The alcohol and the sake's deliciousness do not lose out to the deliciousness of the ingredients.
Who said that Niigata sake is light and dry? Good sake, Yukichubai!

Hi Maruwa 😊
Regular sake from Yukichubai 👍.
This bottle is labeled "Niigata" and is commonly known as "Niigata Label".
It is a sake that has a sake-like character, including the alcohol smell👍.
It has a certain elegance to it, which is another characteristic of Yukichubai.

I like to pair Tochi-age with regular sake "Ryu" from Echino Keitora,
I see what Mr. Maruwa means when he says, "Alcohol and sake are as good as the flavor of soybeans (ingredients).

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio.
Yukinaka Ume, it's so deeply delicious.
While it is said to give a sense of elegance.
It has the sticky sweetness of ordinary sake.
I feel like I am drinking sake.
I'd like to drink it with red chochin.

I'm also interested in Keitora.
Is there a sake that has local roots?
It's not easy to find this sake in Osaka.

The sticky sweetness of regular sake, yes 😅.
But it's a good drink that you're drinking 👍like you'd want to drink it with a red lantern 🏮.
The Honjozo you know has a more dignified profile.

It's also a junmai sake,
It is an excellent sake with almost no alcohol or sake smell, but it is a light and tasty Junmai sake that warms up well.

Junmai sake, not interesting but an honorary sake, seems to suit my tastes and interests.
It can be drunk without hesitation, and I can easily imagine opening a square before I realize it.
