Preferred: ★★★★☆☆ Cold sake: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Cold: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆ Lukewarm: ★★★★ When cold or chilled, it has an impressive aftertaste of bitterness and a slight gaseous sensation. When heated, the gaseous sensation subsides and a moderate aroma spreads, and a slight sweetness can be felt after the restrained bitterness. The common characteristics are a good balance of sharpness, aroma, and flavor. Serve with rolled egg, sardine nigiri, and warm udon noodles.

Looks like a new brewery: 🙇‍♂️ It's called sake, but it seems to be junmai (no mention of rice polishing ratio) 🌾. It rises with herbs, cream, and lychee ❔ pear ❔. The acidity is distinctive ❕, but it's not just light and fresh. But it's not just light, it's a solid, elegant, high quality sake ✨. I felt a very modern essence in a classic 🤔. And with this flavor, it is recommended to be warmed up to lukewarm ❔. I tried it 🍶. Lukewarm changes the atmosphere of the acidity, it's sweet and sour like hot honey lemon 🍋. It's refreshing to begin with, but even more so: ☺️ It's also a great food sake 👍. I recommend drinking it cold to lukewarm, but after trying many different ways, I thought cold or lukewarm would be better 🤗.

Natsuta Fuyuzo works in the rice paddies in summer and in the warehouse in winter. This is my first time to try the KAME-NO-IO sake rice. 😃 It was very elegant, with a deep and delicate flavor. Plus, the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing at the end of the drink 🙂 I paired it with grilled fish and it goes well😇. It's a lost one in my book 👍

Japanese>English

The aroma is mild and refreshing, with a fruity sweetness spreading through the mouthfeel. It is also sharp and easy to drink.

(*^▽^*)Western style sake It is a delicious sake like Niigata. It is really easy to drink 😁.

Japanese>English

It's going to be a vegetable-centered menu with cucumbers, tomatoes, snap peas, and ... for the summer as it gets hotter. Dinner with sake from the countryside. It is a refreshing and royal sake of Echigo, light and dry, and fits for dinner. The brewery is located next to Niigata Prefectural Ojiya High School, where I went to school, and the main brand is Chojazakari.

Japanese>English

This Sake is slightly dry with an earthy aroma. There are flavors of mushroom and wood. Sweetness and acidity are present towards the end. The flavor profile is different from other Niigata Sake I have tried. Guess I need to drink more Sake. 😁

Three staggering drunks strolling to the next restaurant🐾🐈🐾 We drank only our favorites at the first restaurant, so the second one was Aomori sake (๑🍶๑🍶🍶´-) Yum! Fruity! I decided to go to ❣️ because I had never had it before and because of the words "fruity". Exactly! Aomori means scallops 🥰. This is the first time I actually ate them there 🎶. It tastes gentler than the ones I make myself ☺️ I'll use it as a reference for the next time I make it.

It's been a long time since I've had a good sake! It has a soft and gentle taste, and I ended up drinking too much ...... lol. I had a hard time the next day. But the next day I drank too much again.

Summer version of hode nasu 🍆. First time I've ever purchased summer ✨. It's completely different from the winter version, crispy 😳 almost no acidity! I prepared a steak with the winter flavor, but I ate it with yesterday's leftover mansaku and ate the hode nasu with edamame and cucumbers 😅. Hode nasu in summer is more like sushi or pickles than meat 🤔.

Japanese>English

Here we go! Hode Nasu! The label depicts an eggplant, as is typical of summer sake. It is shipped twice a year, in summer and winter, and the number of shipments is limited, so there must be many locals who do not know about it. While there are many low-alcohol summer sakes, this one has 16% alcohol content, so it is a great value for money. It is a dry sake that does not have much of a topping aroma, but when you drink it, you will find it to be refreshingly dry. It is clearly tailored to make a clear distinction from the sweet and sour of the winter model. For a sake that is dry at the entrance, it was a delicious sake with a strong umami taste afterward. Don't abuse me, sake words without permission. 〜At my age, I realize how much I have to learn... Thank you for the sake!

The brewery(?) It's a very good sake.
