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.

Toyosaka -Toyosaka-. This is the first Toyosaka Echigo Den'emon we have had in a year, and it is made with Ginbukiyo (a cross between Yamadanishiki and Tamakoe). Here are the specs for the soft-water Yamahai Yamahai Tank Shiboribori Nama-nazake. It has a grape-like heady aroma and a fresh, rich, apple-like sweetness with a slight dustiness. The astringency of the aftertaste is still present, although it is a bit more subdued than Den-emon's, and it has a perfect balance of freshness and enjoyment during meals!

The ones that are not on the menu. There is a Chiyoda Kura and a Yukihikoyama, both unopened. I decided to go with Chiyoda Kura because I thought I could buy Yukihikoyama at a liquor store in my neighborhood. The taste is moderately sweet and tasty with a summery, crisp, spicy flavor. The impression is that it is quite sharp and clean.

The aroma is modest for a daiginjo❗️. It has a clean taste, but It has a unique sweetness and aroma 😅 I wonder if it tastes like fukunohana❓ I guess it's good to drink as a food sake. It's a raw sake so I'd like to let it sit for a while and see how it tastes. I'm hoping for a change in taste❗️😊.

At the tasting. It was sweet like a rich ripe fruit. It was good, but the one that was for sale seemed to have different specifications (I think it was a direct brew of special junmai?). No purchase.

Sekizen ‼️, a brand I've been wanting to try. I was curious about the standard label, but The unusual lager shirt label 🏉. The aroma is banana🍌-like for this sake too ❗️ I like the aroma 😊 It's sweet, but a little stronger on the alcohol side. I think it tastes crisp 🤔. It's good as a food sake👍 I'd like to try other Sekizen as well 👍‼️

It is powerful and has a unique acidity. It was slightly fruity and slightly winey. The balance is not bad, and it seems to have a wide range of uses as a food wine. It went well with cream cheese. It was an interesting drink 🍶.

先月池亀を飲んで黒兜も飲んでみたいなー🙄なんて投稿をしていたのですが、次の日の青山三河屋のインスタに黒兜入荷の告知が😂 早速買ってまいりました。 この時期限定の生酒で最近流行りの白麹でも紅麹でもなく黒麹を使っているそうです。 上立ち香はほんのりイチゴのシロップ🍓のような甘い香り。 口に含むと綺麗な酸味に透明感のある甘味と旨味。 仄かな甘味を感じながらスッとキレていく感じ。 池亀のお酒は2本目ですが、ここのお酒は透明感をすごく感じますね。 美味しかったです🍶✨🐢

First time to drink a Hokkaido sake 🍶Fresh citrusy aroma? Sweet and bitter on the palate...maybe a little bitter....sharp aftertaste! The aftertaste is good, but... a little bit of a tangy taste? I wonder if it is a characteristic of the sake rice... is it like this? Hmmm... it's a little bitter...

The rice is comet. It is sweeter than the junmai ginjos I have had in the past. After the gentle, fluffy sweetness, the bitterness comes quickly and then converges. It gives the impression of being sweet and bitter. Well, I regret buying Gokotsuru when I had a hard time deciding.

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.

The brand name reads "Dokan" and is made at the "Fuji" brewery. Jumizu-shikkomi is a late Edo period method of making sake with less water than usual. It has an aroma of apples and refreshing bananas. Sip a little and you will be hit with a thick, thick sweetness, a rich acidity that pushes up the sweetness, and a gradually resonating umami that leaves a moist aftertaste. I found a good sake.

First time drinking local sake. This sake brewery was started in Kusatsu-juku by a descendant of Ota Doukan. It is said that the brewery is involved in a wide range of activities, including making sake and wine exclusively for the Imperial Palace and the Kyoto Imperial Gardens. I had no idea. The main taste is similar to Ganki, with a clean, slightly sweet and sour taste. I didn't know there was a sake I liked so close by. ❤️ I'll go to buy some next time I'm back home. PS: I think the bitterness that lingers in the mouth increases as time goes by. It may be due to the temperature change.

(- 迭- )🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I got a sake called Chushingura that I got as a gift 😀 It says it's first shibori-nama-shu but it was aged at room temperature for more than 6 months 🤣Strong style 🔥💪🏾 but I chilled it before drinking 👀. The aroma is mild🤔. When you put it in your mouth, the rich flavor of rice 🌾 spreads in your mouth 😊👍and it has a nice sharpness so it's a very drinkable sake 😚👌. I don't know about the original raw, but this is a delicious sake 🥳.

I will have it for the first time. It is a sake from Ako, Hyogo. The color is a light amber. It is mellow. It has a sweetness reminiscent of ripe fruit juice. It has a rich mouthfeel, but it is refreshing. It is very tasty! It may be good on the rocks.

2022/06/17 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sweet apple-like aroma. Fine and rich sweetness like pure honey. The acidity is moderate and full-bodied. It has a very slight bitterness and a long aftertaste. A perfect sake when you want to be healed by sweetness.
