サケマサ
Compared to Saidaishin from the same brewery, the quality of this sake is heavier and more robust. It is lighter and more fruity than Left Oshin, although Left Oshin also has a strong flavor. It is a traditional sake, but I like it because it is not dominated by trends. I paired it with a raw, de-aged mountain udo from Numata (sashimi, if you will), and it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful pairing. Grapefruit, honeysuckle, cooked rice, freshly pounded rice cake, white dumplings

It has a mild aroma and a refreshing rice flavor. Compared to Shirataki Junmai-shu from the same Uonuma area, the aroma is dry. Conversely, Shirotaki is a bit sweeter. The low acidity, typical of Niigata, makes it easy to drink. There is almost no bitterness, but there is something that lingers on the tongue in the aftertaste. Grapefruit, honeysuckle, freshly pounded rice cake

サケマサ
It is a clear, bright gold color with a strong caramelized aroma derived from the Maillard reaction. It is a sake that I would describe as old-fashioned, in a good sense of the word. I like the balance of its umakuchi, gorgeous aroma and sweetness, and its restrained acidity and bitterness. It has a robust flavor, making it suitable as a food sake, but it is better with meat dishes and warm dishes seasoned with fermented seasonings such as miso and soy sauce than with fish. It may be hard to find outside of the prefecture, and even in Gunma, outside of the Numata area. Cooked rice, cream, caramel, white peaches, grapefruit, honeysuckle, bay leaves

Shirotaki Shuzo is famous for Kozen Josui, but when you visit Niigata, you will find rather a lot of Shirotaki brand sake. This one is a limited edition sake for the Niigata Sake-no-jin. Of course, it is distributed only in Niigata Prefecture. It has a fruity aroma typical of nama-shu and a floral aroma typical of ginjo, but it is not too prominent, and the elegant sweetness lingers in the aftertaste, which is typical of Niigata. It is very well-balanced. Muscat, white peach, acacia, white dumpling, fresh cream, lime

サケマサ
This is Kirinzan's standard sake, but it is wonderful because both the rice and the rice malt are made from Niigata rice. It is a standard sake, but it is also labeled as GI Niigata. The taste is a bit different from the light, dry Niigata-style dry sake that has been around since Koshinokanbai, and is more like traditional Japanese sake, with a firm dryness. Still, it has the lightness that is typical of Niigata. The aroma is mainly keynote, as is typical of ordinary sake, with leafy rather than fruity or floral notes. There is nothing outstanding about it, but it is definitely delicious, and I am sure it has been loved by the locals for a long time. Grapefruit, honeysuckle, chervil, slightly cooked rice

It is rated as super-harsh +21, so there is almost no sweetness to it. I don't like the bitter taste that lingers in the aftertaste when the sake is over +10, but I thought this sake had a good balance of fruity and floral aromas. Lime, grapefruit, cypress, honeysuckle

サケマサ
Sake from Omachi, on the Nagano side of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. I had thought that Kurobe was synonymous with Toyama, but it is certainly possible to call oneself from the other side. It is said to be super dry with 70% polished rice, but it also has a fruity and floral aroma. I felt that the advantages of Aruzoe were well expressed in this wine. It is also good without the limeiness that is often associated with ultra-harsh wines. I would like to try it again to see if the inorganic quality characteristic of dry sake stands out more or if the fruitiness comes out more when it is heated up. White peaches, mushrooms, lime tree, freshly pounded rice cake, lychee

The sake rice was Tamakae, and it was brewed in a wooden vat. It was the kind of sake that made me want to imagine what sake tasted like in the Edo and Meiji periods. I was impressed by the strong sense of maturity, but maybe I was drunk and had a stupid tongue. Freshly pounded rice cake, honeysuckle, lime, cypress, melon, caramel

It is often served chilled, but I dared to drink it at room temperature. It has a strong lactic acidity from the sake yeast, a slight aroma of wooden vats, and the flavor of rice is easy to pick up. I wondered what sake-komachi tasted like. Yogurt, white peach, sour cream, cooked rice, wooden vat

This is a nigorish sake. The acidity is very strong, but it is in harmony with the robust flavor of nigori sake. Because of the strong taste of sake, even strong meat dishes such as stir-fried hormone do not defeat it! White peach, lychee, lime, lime tree, sour cream

This sake is made with Ginga from Otsuchi Town, Iwate Prefecture, and water from the town's Gensui district. It is a junmai ginjo with a strong umami flavor and a ginjo-like aroma of fruits and flowers. Perhaps due to its slightly high alcohol content (16%), the stimulating sensation on the tongue may appeal to different tastes. The yeast used is Yuko no Sou, one of Iwate's original yeasts. It is said to be a yeast that produces a mild aroma, strong fermentation, and a gentle flavor with umami, and one can certainly sense this tendency. Fresh cream, white dumplings, banana, violets, wasabi and white peach

It has a full-bodied sweetness, gentle acidity, and a rich balance that makes you think it is a Tajima sake, and you can't help but say, "This is good! The aroma of fruit and flowers is followed by a lactic acidity that seems to be that of a pure rice wine. The aroma of fruit and flowers is followed by the lactic acidity that is typical of Yamahai Junmai. It is a gorgeous sake that can be enjoyed on its own, but it also has a firmness that can be used as a food sake. White peach, muscat, acacia, apricot tofu, white bean dumpling, mushrooms
