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.

Japanese>English

Echigo Den'emon is my new favorite. Maybe because it is a one-operation operation, production is low and it sells out quickly. The aroma is peachy and fruity. It has a very sweet, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, with an astringency that builds up toward the end. As you drink it, it gets drier and drier, and it has a heavy alcohol taste for its strength. It is also good with soda. I wonder if the astringent sweetness is the lychee feeling on the back label. Yogwanganai

Niigata Souvenir #1 Niigata sake had an image of being light and dry, but as indicated on the back label, it had a fresh sweetness like peach or lychee. The moderate gassiness and bitterness in the aftertaste made the sake not too dull. I found a sake that I liked!

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.

Japanese>English

This was my second drink at a nearby izakaya that serves Niigata sake. It seems to be sold as a sake that goes well with Akinata fish, but it was a very tasty sake that goes well with all kinds of snacks.

Today's sake is a Junmai Ginjo from Koshijino Benibai in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture❗️ The aroma is a fresh, sweet scent of ginjo❗️As you take a sip, you will feel the mild texture on your tongue, followed by a refreshing sweet aroma❗️❗️ and then the sweet scent of ginjo will leave your nose❗️It is also a good sake to drink during a meal❗️

I wanted to try my first Osaka sake, Akushika, but I found Kurehaaru at my favorite izakaya... a traditional local sake. It's a good sake for a mid-meal drink. Yes! Local sake. The flavor is as expected.

Japanese>English

After enjoying Fushimi's soft water hot springs in Kyoto, I spent the last part of my trip in Osaka👍. Since it was a special occasion, we had a drink at Kurehaaru, which we hadn't had in a year, and some oden and kushikatsu! The aroma is almost imperceptible. It has a refreshing taste on the palate, but the robust flavor of the rice comes on later. Still, it is lighter than other Osaka sake and has a moderate sweet and spicy taste. It has no habits and goes perfectly with oden ✨.

Japanese>English

Kureshun that was at the place I went to eat today. I thought it must be pure rice, but the sweetness won out. But it was my first time to drink sake from Osaka, so I enjoyed it. Goes well with soba noodles.

A little extra liqueur. The strategy was to open the lighter ones first to make room in the fridge. But this is one that I have been curious about for a while. The color, the aroma, the taste, it's all yogurt! That's right. And one for the yogurt lovers out there! It's in a silky drinkable yogurt state, so it's more gobbled up than slurped. I have it with donuts for snacks.

Lastly, Mr. Shinzawa's yogurt sake It is more like a drink than a sake. The alcohol content is low at 5%, so it can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from those who don't like sake to women and children. With this quality, it might even be good for people in the hospital. Thank you very much for your kindness! What was the end result of the menu of the drinking hall, 3.8 liters of sake, and a two-hour-long one-person game? Yes, we drank all of it! We drank it all. Everyone worked hard. We had a great time at the after-party as well. See you next week!

(**﹃｀*)🍶🍶🍶🍶+ Today we had a thick yogurt sake from Shinzawa Sake Brewery 😀. The yogurt is thick and low in alcohol, so it's almost like drinking yogurt 🐮It's the best liqueur yogurt I've ever had 🤩It's really delicious! 🥰

It's very easy to drink 😘It's very clean and light 🥰Hakutsuru Nishiki from the largest brewery is a delicious sake 🥳.

Japanese>English

Yogurt, banana, strawberry, very fruity smell. The flavor, richness and taste are modest. There is a discreet fruity pear-like taste with no cloying taste, and the alcohol and bitterness are not assertive. There is no aftertaste. The smell is very good, and you have a sense of anticipation, so when you drink it, you may wonder what it is. It is good and refreshing! The bitterness appears when served with food. Easy to drink on its own. When the temperature rises, it smells like hot spring buns.

Purchased at a local liquor store during an expedition to Gunma! I opened the bottle with the caution ⚠️ in mind when opening the bottle...! Even though I was aware of it, I was surprised‼️ aroma: a faint, fruity aroma of rice, and already, a shriek! It's already a sparkling wine...this is delicious 😋I examined it while feeling the high quality...Gunma's local sake is not to be underestimated...it's delicious 🍶.
