This is a unit work of three breweries in Joetsu: Katafune (Takeda Sake Brewery), Koshiji-no-Kenbai (Kubiki Shuzo), and Chiyonomitsu (Chiyonomitsu Sake Brewery). Kura-kept yeast, fresh yeast, and shibari. The proprietor introduced that there is a new trial in Niigata as well. Delicious! It starts with a light sweetness, followed by acidity and a sharp bitterness. This complexity is good. I couldn't take my eyes off of the sake from Joetsu. There is a recommendation from Takeda Shuzo on the back label, which is also interesting.

Purchased at a liquor store in Niigata A fine and beautiful light nigori, just like a haze. It has a rich sweetness, but then a grapefruit-like bitterness. It was delicious even with ice. Perfect for drinking in summer.

Japanese>English

Sweet and refreshing It is a sweet and refreshing sake, so I used it as a food sake, but I think it would have been good to drink it before a meal and then move on to a dry sake.

Rice used is something from Iwate Prefecture and germinated brown rice from Shiwa-machi glutinous rice Classified under the Sake Tax Law as "Other Brewed Sake It is a so-called craft saké, but it is no different from ordinary sake. The fruity sweetness spreads quickly, and the umami is also conveyed clearly. The citrusy bitterness tightens up the whole experience. The lingering aftertaste seems to be slowly fading away. It is not flashy, but it is good for a leisurely sipping. However, 3,000 yen for a four-pack is a bit expensive!

Japanese>English

Not much thickness, though, Fresh aroma and flavor. It is delicious and disappears nicely. It is a type of drink too much.

Japanese>English

It tastes strange! It looks like sake, but it is not sake. But it's delicious! It may not be sold very often, but if you see it, please try it!

A party with my daughter and her husband and grandchildren ❤️The second bottle is going to be wdwd! I bought it at the usual Marunaka Ohashi Shoten. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a little nervous about the whole thing. 📌720ml ¥1,595 I'll be back! This is the first time I've drunk 90% of the shavings. There is a bite to it. Is the aroma fruity? I'm not sure, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great beer. It has a unique aroma that comes through the nose. It has its own character and you may not like it as much as you like it. It's a bit like doburoku, but it's easy to drink. I think it will become a habit when I get used to it😊👍 I think I know what it feels like to drink mindfully. Sake is interesting. It's good to challenge the sake you like once in a while✌️.

At a store that sells naturally grown food, I found a slightly unusual colored sake and picked it up. The bottle was opened with caution, but I opened it without incident😅. It was quite sweet and sour, low in alcohol and easy to drink. I think it's more like plum wine or apricot wine than sake.

I bought this at the brewery's direct sales counter on my GW trip to Nagano! I had a great shopping experience with the courteous staff and went home feeling great! The aroma is what you would call "sake" with a hint of alcohol. It also has a grassy nuance. Immediately after taking a sip, there is a pleasant sourness that lasts until the end. Of course there is sweetness, but if anything, it is more umami. The bitterness is gentle at the end. It has a juicy atmosphere with acidity as if it is made from a sake yeast yeast. Kurosawa is a brewery that specializes in making sake from the "nama-hashiroshi," so I was convinced after drinking it that it was made from the "nama-hashiroshi. I was told at the brewery that the sake has an excellent balance of the four tastes of sweetness, flavor, acidity, and bitterness, and this is exactly what it tastes like. It has a good acidity, but it is not showy at all. It is a sake that goes well with any meal, and I am sure I will become a fan of Kurosawa Shuzo after drinking it. This is their regular product, so they are a brewery of extraordinary quality. It goes well with shime saba (mackerel), salty yakitori, grilled fresh onions, and omelettes! It goes with everything!

Japanese>English

On this day, I drove to my wife's parents' home in Saku. When we arrived after a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Tokyo, this local sake was waiting for us. It has an ear of rice on it. I will have a sip. It has the acidity and mellowness of a sake yeast yeast strain, and is dry and crisp. Tiredness melts away.

Japanese>English

Purchased at a new roadside station in Yachiho Kogen. The brewery is located in the uppermost reaches of the Chikumagawa River. It is aged at a low temperature in an ice cellar and has a high alcohol content. When chilled, it has a mild flavor and spicy acidity, and when lukewarm, it has a spiciness and a sake-like aroma. It is a good sake that can be enjoyed all year round.

They also recommended online👍

A sake store in Joetsu, Niigata that I have wanted to visit for a long time. Kiraku. First of all, I would like to pay my respects to my hometown, Joetsu. Tsukifumi-no-ike pond is a famous place in Itoigawa, and is said to be located in a dense forest, making it difficult for the moon to be reflected in the pond. Local Takananishiki grown by the brewer. It is said to be full-bodied and sharp, but it is very sharp. This is the mainstream of Niigata-Joetsu sake.

Japanese>English

I bought this sake after my wife recommended it as an easy-to-drink sake at the store where we usually go to buy sake. It is slightly dry and has an aroma that lingers on the nose. The aftertaste is refreshing and delicious. 1,650 yen

Japanese>English

Purchased at Takashimaya event😆👍 Out of the three types, I️ started with the Tsukiyomi no Ike. The aroma is nothing but semedyne smell💦. The taste is like a matured sake, but not fully matured so it's easy to drink for a matured sake😅💦. I just don't like it on the web. I'll try to warm it up next time and enjoy it!

narrator Beta 1 Citrusy aroma. Slightly dry. Fizzy and foamy. β2 Melon aroma. Slightly sweet. Slightly sweet, with a bubbly taste. Both are refreshing and tasty. You can tell the difference when you compare them. This is a new product from Narai, which used to be very expensive, but is now in a slightly more affordable price range. It is still a little expensive. We are exploring new pubs in front of Matsumoto station. But the cost will be high, so we'll keep it moderate. A bar that leads the daytime drinking scene in Matsumoto. Popular among foreign customers. Open from 13:00 to 19:00. A small bar with a counter and two tables. A lot of sake from Nagano Prefecture are available. Good interaction among customers. The master has a wealth of knowledge about sake and it is a very nice store.

This is the third bottle of the owner's choice. This is the first one I've seen. I have no prior knowledge of this one, so I'm looking forward to this one too 😙. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 16%. 100% Kinmon-Nishiki is used. Memory fails me, but this is probably the first time I've tasted Kinmonnishiki💦. Melon aroma and elegant sweetness. The umami is unique from other sake rice, but that's the good part 😊.

It is very fruity because of the use of CEL-24. However, it is not as sweet as Kameizumi, Toyonoubai, or Kaygetsu. It is sweet and bitter. The other one I haven't tried is Bikuyo's CEL-24. I think it's a little bit sweet and bitter like Shibotan's CEL.
