Yahiko Sake Brewery in Yahiko Village, Niigata Prefecture. The main brand was "Echino Hakusetsu," but it appears that "Yahiko" will be the main brand from now on. This Junmai Ginjo is also made from Yamadanishiki produced in Yahiko Village, and is a good sake, not fruity, but calm and soft. Yahiko Village is where my mother is from, and I spent a lot of time there as a child when I was sent to my mother's home, so it is like a second home to me. Yahiko Shrine, the first shrine in Echigo, is located there.

Yahiko's regular sake, Aozae, by Yahiko Shuzo Sake rice is Koshibuki produced in Yahiko village. Aozae has a refreshing, watery quality. Aozae is a perfect evening sake without any peculiarities. Yahiko Shrine is the largest shrine in Echigo Province. My mother is from Yahiko Village and I used to stay at her parents' house in Yahiko Village when I was a child, so Yahiko is like my second home.

The rice used is Koshibuki produced in Yahiko The long-awaited "Yahiko" brand I was surprised to learn that there is a store in my hometown that carries this brand. I heard that the brewery has been reorganized and the taste has become even better. But still, this is out of the ordinary! Overall, the flavor is calm. It has a fruity flavor with a clean and crisp finish. The umami can be felt with a touch of savoriness, which is a balance I like! It is high level. ‼️

The rice used is Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare. If I had to describe it in one word, I would say it's "Omnivorous Japanese Sake Partridge". It has an old-fashioned flavor and an aged feeling like a hiyaoroshi. Spicy and sweet in equal measure, with a long finish. It's a sake that should be served warm. By the way, it's "Hiyaoroshi", but it's shipped all year round.

I learned of the existence of this sake through non non's post. It was a little difficult to go there because you can only buy it at the direct sales place which is open only on weekdays.... It was a nice homey sake brewery 😊. It was limited to 100 bottles and they were the last 3 bottles. It's shwashy, sweet and sour. It may be a daiginjo, but it doesn't taste like yamahai and is easy to drink.

April 13, 2022 Evening drink at home. The second bottle was a gift from my in-laws. It is refreshing and clean. It is the best sake to drink with fish. Jogawago is a stable taste after all! I can't wait to drink it again.

The fourth one is Nechi-Osan. This is my first time to visit this brewery. I always thought it was "KONCHI". Sorry locals! The taste of rice is well expressed, but the overall taste is clean and dry. The aftertaste is a bit peculiar, but it is good in its own way. Thank you!

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024⑳ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on 🤣.

☆☆☆☆☆ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.

It was completely destroyed by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but was rebuilt in the spring of the following year and named "Kuzo" (meaning "empty storehouse"), again starting from "zero" (空). What a mellow Junmai Daiginjo! It has a sweet top-shelf aroma with a hint of alcohol. The taste is not fruity or sour, but rather a spicy sweetness that dominates the tongue. The liquid has a slight yellowish tinge, and the legs are thin and clear.

Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in Spring (3) The last one is Masterpiecea by Laughing Four Seasons. Masterpiece is a sake with the theme of technical study and a retrospective and return to classic ginjo, I tasted it at last year's sake brewery tour and enjoyed it so much that I left without buying it, which I regretted a lot 💧. This year, I was determined to bring it back! This year, I decided to bring it back! Masterpiece has A (Yamadanishiki) and Un (Watabune), and I decided to bring back A this time. I decided to bring A back this time. The color is slightly greenish. The nose has aromas of white peach, pear, melon, muscat-like fruit, lily-like white flowers, bay leaves, and white dumplings. The moment you take a sip, you will be surprised by the smooth, flowing, luscious taste. The fruity, floral aroma has a clear, gentle, full-bodied sweet flavor, and the sweetness is supported by an elongated acidity. The taste is a slow, lingering sweetness, with a greenish bitterness that mingles in the latter half of the taste. The complex sweetness and acidity flow together gracefully and cohesively, just like the name Masterpiece 💕💕. I am glad to have had a chance to taste it again! I'll have to go back next year for the Tokaido sake brewery tour in spring! I'll have to go again next year for the Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour in spring!

Comparison of "A-Un" series (2) A-Un" means the end. Both "A-Un" and "A-Un" have a beautiful taste, A-Un has a beautiful taste, but A-Un has a fuller taste of rice. Sake rice is Hyogo Watafune No. 2, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%.

The first Okushika was made in H29BY. At room temperature, it has a mildly matured taste with a strong acidity. When heated, it has a mild burnt taste and a strong sharpness with acidity.

The second sake is a sake that has been laid to rest for three years. Okushika. Oily food goes well with it, but it is also quite hard-boiled with a sense of danger at 18 degrees alcohol. It is delicious, though. It goes especially well with fried foods and strong meals. Try it with shimarakko tempura. Rice used: Yamadanishiki Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 18

Reasonable size of 180ml😋. It's a good sake for drinking only. Take it to a barbecue or camping I think it would be fun to have an outdoor sake party! 👍 Well, it's hard to go outside 😂. It has a fresh taste with a clean and refreshing flavor.
