This is a brand name of Hokusetsu Shuzo, but this is the first time I learned of its existence.
The fact that it is a ginjo is a personal point.
It is crisp, but has a ginjo-like sake flavor that I liked.
Sado is a small remote island, but there are four sake breweries and sake brewing is very active. The first time I visited Sado, I had a chance to taste the sake.

Like the earlier Kintsuru, it is a hometown tax return gift to Sado City, Niigata Prefecture.
Unusually for a Niigata sake, this is a so-called dry sake, but it also has an umami taste.
I would like to try it heated, as it is said to be a 2024 heated sake award winner, but it is still hot, so I had it cold.

It is a light and dry sake, typical of Niigata.
There is no umami, and to put it simply, it is a dry sake!
It is a dry sake.
It is a good sake for a mid-meal drink as you will never get tired of drinking it, and it seems to go well with all kinds of food.
I've never tried to make a marriage...

Souvenirs of Niigata Nagaoka Fireworks (for myself)...
Sake from Nagaoka City.
I had never drunk it before, so I bought it...
Personally, I found the taste not so good.
It was not like Junmai (pure rice) sake... it had a little bit of a strong taste.

When I went back to Shinshin, I bought it at Ponshukan in Nagaoka station.
On weekends, some liquor store sells it over-the-counter, so I always buy a bottle of that.
This time it was Hokusetsu from Sado!
I bought it with the name... Onikoroshi...
It's good to drink it cold.
It's a very strong sake, even when chilled.
It is a bad sake for those who like the taste of sake.

CharAREND-ROLAND 純米吟醸 和醸良酒
たろう
This sake is from Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture.
It is a sake that is usually available when I go to Ricamount.
I was curious about it, but this was my first time drinking it.
It is a very sweet sake, so I guess it is what is called a sweet sake. It is an honest sake, pure sweet sake.
It does not have a sake-like taste, so tastes may differ greatly, but there are also stylish bottles, so you can enjoy the appearance as well.
Again, there were other comets available, but I chose this one based on the bottle design.

Sakeya Otake's original sake!
I personally find unfiltered sake to be a bit fizzy, and they all have a similar feel to them, but not this one!
It's sharp!
But it looks like it's unfiltered and not clear.
I was surprised at this!

Trophies from a trip to Hiroshima.
Nama-zake, suitable temperature for refrigeration: 5°C ......
Sorry, I didn't realize I had stored it at the 8°C setting.
Sorry!
My personal impression is that it's hard to tell the difference between nama-zake and unfiltered sake, but this one was different.
The freshness of nama-shu is the same as usual, but it is a light sake with a lingering aftertaste.
It is delicious!

Sake sold at the supermarket Tsuruya in Nagano, Japan.
I stopped by on my way out and chose a sake I had never had before!
The sake lives up to its name.
It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 13%.
It is easy to drink and light, but has a strong flavor.
It is easy to drink and light, but the taste is strong and mysterious.

First time drinking at Katsuma!
Since this is a drink at a restaurant on the road, please excuse the menu!
It was one of my favorite sake, but it was on the menu, so I ordered it...
I don't know how to describe it, but it tastes like drinking a light sweet potato shochu straight!

Toast for my daughter's graduation event with parents from both sides of the family.
Again, they were short on time and brought a pre-labeled product.
The product seems to be good this year and we have high hopes for it!
I think this is the second picture for the product.
The mellow aroma is subtle, and the mouthfeel is sweet, but very restrained for a daiginjo.
However, it is immediately light and dry! And it's super dry, or is it? It's a good, robust flavor!
It is an unfiltered raw sake, but the unfiltered feeling is so subtle that it tastes like a fire-brewed sake.

It has a strong umami flavor, but is it just the right amount of sweetness?
It is a hard sake for me personally as a sake to keep drinking.
I found it to be a beautiful sake.

Second bottle for Valentine's Day gift.
It has a gorgeous aroma, but it has a strong, umami taste as a sake.
The slightly stylish bottle is a bit like a grocery store stocking.
You can enjoy the lingering taste and aroma of this sake.

Valentine's Day gift from my wife.
I received 3 bottles of 300ml bottled liquor, which she saw at the grocery store and bought for me.
The smell is cloying, perhaps because it is made from organic rice, but when you drink it, it is surprisingly refreshing.
The flavor is complex, but delicious!
I like this kind of thing.
Thanks to my wife!

This was the first brand of Nagano's first locally brewed sake that I drank.
From memory, Masumi was clear and crisp, but this sake had a nice umami flavor and was good as a food sake.
Maybe my memory is wrong...
