This is the only sake check-in today, as I have been drinking kanehachi (barley shochu) for a while now. Even though it is cheap, the aroma of this barrel is soothing.
Isaribi (fishing fire) is said to be the fire that fishing boats build to gather fish at night.
This sake is said to go well with squid and mackerel.
 The sake should be warmed up, and the snacks should be seared...
I like the kanji characters on the label better than the alphabet.
I remember drinking it in the summer and enjoying it, so I bought it again. It is dry, but has a nice sweetness to it. Because it is a pure sake, the alcohol content is a bit high at 17%.
Cold wholesale stored in snow in Echigo. It has a crisp, dry taste that can only be found in Niigata, but it also retains its umami flavor. We enjoyed it with Hiramasa and sea bass sashimi.
It is simple, dry, and to my taste. The temperature has suddenly dropped today and it has turned autumnal, so the label design is perfect, but I can't help but think it looks a little cheesy, like something you might find in a mail-order set.
