We used Go To to Echigo Yuzawa. So_1F3D4 brand and Naebayama brand that I don't remember seeing in Tokyo to match the local cuisine of the hotel. Junmai-Ginjo sake with Junmai-Ginjo specifications. The gentle aroma, the sweetness, and the refreshing finish give me the impression that this is a "Niigata's local sake" as I have always imagined it to be. In terms of Niigata brands that you can buy in Tokyo, I'd say it's similar to the Junmai Ginjo specs of Tsurueri or Kubota. If I tasted it, I'd never be able to understand it myself... After all, coming on a trip and pairing it with local food is the best part of local sake 👍.

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. My first impression was "It's sweet. ❣️ I felt that "Kosu-Mori" was also quite sweet for me, but it seemed more profound than "Kosu-Mori". It is like licking a muscat candy. The finish, however, is crisp with just the right amount of bitterness, so the sweetness doesn't linger and it feels refreshing. It is a delicious drink, but I think it is suitable for different situations.

Shuoyoshi Sparkling La Chante Oh, this is... This is... delicious! Huh? (look at the label) No added sugar! NO sugar! Why is it so sweet! (see website) Is it the sweetness of glucose~ (∩ º Å º) Whew! Delicious~(*´˘ `*)♡♡♡♡ (see website) I recommend chocolate for pairing🍫. Yes, yes, there is chocolate ())))) rummage) Yummmmeeeee ( ᐙ )🍷🍫🍫 ⬇Homepage excerpt⬇ La Chante is a sparkling sake, Made with only "100% Akita-Komachi" and "water from the Ou Mountains and water from the Ou Mountains. The gentle sweetness comes from the natural glucose produced from rice. The fruity aroma and sourness reminiscent of fruit juice are key points. The burst of carbonation is refreshing, just like champagne. You may wonder, "How can rice alone taste like this?" You may wonder... This is a "new sensation" sake. Let's taste the new sensation together. Once you try it, you will be addicted to the taste. Rice used: 100% Akita-Komachi Rice polishing ratio: 65 Alcohol content: 7 to 8 degrees Content: 280ml

I saw a lot of Shuyoshi's La Chante at a souvenir shop in Akita. It was stored at room temperature in the sun, so I bought the one from the liquor store's refrigerator. I don't know whether it was made for sake lovers or wine lovers, but it was interesting. The Akita Sour was expensive, but it was okay. The miso macaroon from Kakunodate was delicious!

I bought it because my child's name has the character for virtue in it lol. I was surprised by the color when I put it in a glass. The best thing about this product is the fact that it is made in Indonesia. I'm not sure if I've had enough, so I opened this bottle, but my face is starting to go numb 🤪 lol

Comparison of nigori sake (Wakayama's favorite nigori sake) Following Minakata, Chokyu ✌️ This is the fire-brewed version of the nigori sake we drank in February. I buy every bottle of Chokyu I see that I have never had before 😆. The first thing that surprised me when I drank it was that there was no fizziness at all 😲. The aroma is somewhat almond-like, and it's cloudy with a lot of orioles, so it's like diluted almond milk. But it also has a sourness to it, so I felt a bit unbalanced 🤔. I prefer nigori sake with a fizzy taste 😄.

Nigori Sake (Japanese rice wine) First time drinking Chokyu's nigori 😊. I always buy Chokyu when I see the new label ✌. The ori is quite a bit more and has a strong fizzy feel to it. It has a lot of umami and a hint of sweetness that is typical of Chokyu, and yet it has a clean dryness that makes it a dangerous sake that you can drink with gusto 🤭. The impression is quite similar to Hirotogawa's nigori👍 It goes well with western food, and the omelette was a nice match 😋.

[Summer sake is also berry good😂] The most memorable brand I drank last year, super kyu🥰. Don't miss out on getting a bottle of summer raw sake that's also bright! This one is a bit different from the matured Omachi sake I had last year, and I have the impression that it swings in a very sweet and juicy direction. The aroma is tropical 🥭 and the flavor is perfect, with a long, sharp finish and a hint of bitterness. The umami flavor is firm, so it is easy to match with Japanese fried food 👍. Chokyu seems to have a different direction for each label, but each one has its own characteristics and they are all delicious and addictive 😍.

Juicy aroma reminiscent of pears and ripe apricots. The rich flavor and sweetness of the Omachi grape, as well as the fresh and powerful taste of the unpasteurized sake, make this a very appealing wine. The firm acidity keeps the aftertaste clean and tight, making it an excellent partner for a wide range of dishes, including sashimi, herb-infused meat dishes, white meat fish carpaccio, and cream pasta.

Next, we enjoyed a sake-tasting session with "arayakki", a soft, sweet and spicy dish! We started with the "Sakushu Musashi" on the left! It has a classic, chili pepper dry taste. It has a rich umami taste like a mature sake at first, but then it turns crisp and spicy and disappears quickly, making it easy to pair with a meal👍.
