This brewery was closed in April this year due to the effects of Corona and other factors. It is said that there is no reopening schedule, so it is practically closed. The official site has disappeared, and it looks like the company has been sold. It would be nice if the company that bought it would let it reopen... It's a rich, umami type that's different from the general image of Niigata's sake. It has a sweetness from the rice. As it has won a gold medal, I'm sure this sake would be delicious warmed. It also has a creamy sweetness.

Exchange item with chikumo. Thanks for everything 😆. First Den-emon GOZ! At lower temperatures it's refreshing 😆. When the temperature goes up, the taste is fuller and you don't get tired of drinking it ✨👍👍. I never get tired of drinking it ✨👍 I'm sure I'll be back for more 🥰. Oh! I was going to make beef stew. I bought the ingredients but forgot to buy the roux 😅😅. but I forgot to buy the roux😅. I had no choice I ate a cup of noodles 🤣. I'll make beef stew later.

This is the wrong brand it’s from Tochigi from Hokkan. The cheapest sake in Donquixote in Bangkok and so very smooth and balanced at medium chill. It’s actually very close to water.

Purchased at Mekada Sake Shop in Utsunomiya City A store that I stop by on my way home from a recent trip to the Tohoku region. I saw it wrapped in newspaper in the Tochigi Prefecture's local sake corner and bought it, believing the pop-up sign! It goes great with oden or anything with a Japanese broth! It made the sake taste much better. It was the most delicious sake I have ever had in the sake brewery in Tochigi Prefecture.

The acidity is exquisite. Delicious. It's a little frustrating that it's not easy to get because it's only available in Fukuoka.

This is Kyushu Kiku's Kamisen. I have not had this sake since the spring, when I had a bottle of the honjozo (pure sake) at Nishinakasu. I never thought I would see this sake in Tokyo. I had it at room temperature 🍶. The first aroma is sweet with a slight bran-like nuance. It tastes sweet on the palate, like a so-called "normal" sake. The aroma is not so good. It was made in October, so it seems it is not twisted 🤔. Thanks for the drink ✨

The bottle looks like wine now... this is wine... when opened: .... Pop! The cork has been popped! The aroma is faint with a hint of sweetness... The mouthfeel is sweet, sweet and bitter, and then sharp! Delicious! Nagano sake is of high quality...delicious!

I bought this alcohol as a tie-in to the No.6 x type direct pass 🍶. It wasn't exactly the sake I wanted, so the bar was low, but I was surprised when I tried it: ‼️ It is one of the best tasting sakes I have ever had👍. Fruity aroma typical of daiginjo 🍌. It has a good umami taste, a nice acidity, and no bitterness 😀. I'm glad I found a good sake that I like (^...^)

A taste of the season. The acidity of the sake's yeast yeast yeast is in harmony with the spiciness of the yeast. The spicy richness is alive in the aftertaste.

It's been a day, but I'm sober. Pollen is killing my eyes nose and mouth today. It's like a clear and dry taste. It's raw, so I could clearly feel the umami. After that, we had a welcome party. Since it was a leap year, I wanted to open a bottle of Leap No. after I got home, but I had a feeling that the members of the party would get too drunk. I don't know if I can do it.

Shirakawa sake. In fact, this is one of the reasons I got hooked on sake after drinking it a few years ago. Sake from Shirakawa, Fukushima is delicious! 🫠💓

Forgery, hypocrite.... You're right, I'm a booze junkie. I was mistaken. My drinking is not about drinking. There is only one thing I can do. All I could do was to push my liver. The body is made of alcohol! Blood is water, and the heart is malted rice! I went through several banquets and lost all of them! Not a single vomit, not a single victory! The bearer is here alone, holding a can in a pile of corpses! Then my drinking needs no meaning! This body was made of endless rice! Thank you God🙏!

Softer the second day, but a big flavorful drink with a bit too much cotton candy sweetness for me. Has an intense bitterness on the finish as well. Not my favorite.

When I went sightseeing in the old town in Hida Takayama, I stopped by a store that was not a sake brewery but a direct sales store where I could sample sake for a fee. It is located right in the middle of the tourist area. This is the Oda Sake Brewery, the originator of Onikoroshi. Older Sake Brewery Kamiminomachi Branch You put a coin from the server and drink it. A coin is 300 yen for 36 ml. Hida Boast Onikoroshi Junmai Namaishu It is fresh but dry with a strong alcohol taste. Junmai Ginjo Hida Takayama I selected this sake by looking at the sake level, and found that it was the same as the one I drank at the Japanese Sake Festival. It had more flavor than the previous sake and was a true sake. There was a signature of Wakako Sake with "Pshu". 🖊️

A gift from my brother at home the other day. It was chilly, so I paired it with pork shabu-shabu. It was a little high at 17%, so I tasted it slowly at first and then served it on the rocks in the latter half of the bottle. I enjoyed the mildness of the wine.

A refreshing, dry sake. It is the type of sake for drinking at night.

This is another sake that was mentioned in this month's special issue of dancyu on sake that tastes good at "room temperature". Niigata Prefecture has many breweries, and there are still a few that I have yet to try. There are many breweries in Niigata that I have yet to try. I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.
